The National Red Cross said it was sending disaster workers, as well as mobile canteens and other equipment, into the area in case they should be needed. The Public Health Service said the possible danger area- of 25 to 30 miles around the barge has 150,000 to 80,000 residents. The area comprises Concordia, Catahoula and Tensas parishes in Louisiana, and Adams, Wilkinson and Jefferson counties in Missis sippi. The .barge has buckled in the middle, making it necessary to bring the four taints of chlorine to the surface individually. Sim Shattuck, director of the Division of Health Mobilization, estimated it would take 24 to 48 hours to raise the tanks. Up To States Filial 'evacuations plans were up to Mississippi and Louisiana to stale officials. According not were here, they spokesmen certain whether to start evacuations before the- - salvage attempt begins or to 'wait for any signs of danger. One source said he understood the states were inclined to exacu- ate at least women and children the before operation begins, because there were no largely gas masks to fit children. Health officials said air containing 1,000 parts chlorine gas to 1 million parts normal air would kill after a "few breaths." But he noted that the gas gave off a very strong odor which would serve as a warning. under certain Kennecott properties.
