New Floods Due In Bolivia
LA PAZ, Bolivia, (AP) Government officials warned residents of the inundated city of Trinidad today that new floods were expected soon as rescue planes took advantage of receding waters and flew evacuees to Cochabamba, 200 miles to the south. Some 200 persons were removed by this route yesterday.
The government said the flood waters had dropped 14 inches by yesterday, lessening the immediate danger to inhabitants of the northern Bolivian city and permitting planes to land and take off. On Saturday all except four blocks of the city was under water.
