Missouri petitoned the Supreme Court to prohibit the Army Corps of Engineers from blowing a hole in the Missouri side of the levee. A small town of about 3,000 people were being thratened by the rising water levels of the Mississippi Riverand there were signs that the levess on the Illinois side were leaking. Missouri lost the case and the corps is going to blow the levee and flood a good deal of farmland in Missouri in order to protect the illinois town.
