Model Helps Flood Forecasters--Gauge team of the U.S. Engineers take measurements on a 2,000-foot scale model of the Missouri River basin which they are using to forecast crests of the current flood. By duplicating conditions, the engineers know in advance the flood stage at an area before the flood actually reaches that point officials say. The model, built by German prisoners of war, was completed in 1948. It is the first real test for the model according to Henry McGee, chief of the Engineers' Mississippi model branch here.
