Then fresh water sources must opened and a sewage system reinstalled. This way take weeks. Only then could the jbb of rebuilding begin. Meanwhile, the housing of thousands of refugees in cramped quarters posed its own threat of pestilence. Emergency shelters were under constant health inspection.

The health problem was complicated in the disaster area by 50,000 to 70,000 head of dead cattle bloating in the relentless heat. Thousands of old rubber tires were collected to feed funeral pyrea for th carcasses.

Priest Wonders Why A Roman Catholic priest, speaking in the French patois of the region, wondered why the victims were singled out from among America's millions by nature's merciless sword. He concluded that, in his words, only God knows.

Not until Sunday was a road opened to the stricken Camerow area of Southwestern Louisiana so that a mass of victims coultf begin. Until then, only air and water craft were able to bring out the dead.

Arends said the $6-a-ton steel price booirt will raise the price of automobiles, refrigerators, baby carriages "and all those items used by the average family." Also, he said, it will increase "the costs of national defense and highway construction, "where steel is so extensively used." Long was the sixth of the 15 committee members to question Humphrey.

Humphrey replied: "I think they probably will as time goes on. There wilt be some lag."
