Midwestern rivers kept rising yesterday after three days of steady rain that forced scattered evacuations from Oklahoma to Ohio.
Forecasters said a repeat of last summer's disastrous floods wasn't likely. But that didn't reassure Denise Warner's customers at the post office in Portage des Sioux, Mo., where streets were flooded.
"A lot of them are coming in just shaking their heads," Warner said. "They're saying, 'Boy, I sure don't want to go through this again,' and 'Didn't we do this about this time last year'?"
Up to a foot of rain had fallen on parts of Missouri since Saturday. The Mississippi River was expected to crest about 4 feet above flood stage yesterday at St. Louis.
The Missouri River rose 7 feet in 24 hours at Jefferson City, Hermann and Washington, Mo. At Hermann, the river was expected to crest at 34 feet today, 13 feet above flood stage.
As much as 6 inches of rain have fallen since Monday in northern Indiana. Schools and all county roads were closed yesterday in Benton County, and at Remington, Ind., in nearby Jasper County, about 50 people had to be evacuated from a trailer park. Most of the state was under flood warnings until yesterday afternoon.
About 25 families were evacuated from two trailer parks in Pittsburg, and up to 50 homes were evacuated when the Neosho River and Tar Creek overran their banks in Miami, Okla.
In the western Oklahoma town of Snyder, high winds caused more than $15,000 in damage to several businesses. Gusts of more than 60 mph blew the roofs off several houses near Crescent, Okla.
Allen Roche of Bartlesville, Okla,
said the wind had lifted him 4 to 5 feet off
the ground outside an apartment complex.
"I saw a gas meter go by, and then all this debris started flying around me," said Roche, who escaped with a bloody nose.
SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists have found a potential breast cancer marker that offers hope for an inexpensive blood test to detect the disease much earlier than a mammogram, researchers said yesterday.
Zora Djuric, who reported the finding, cautioned that at least four more years of studies and trials were needed before such a test would become available.

Research may lead to test for breast cancer
A way to measure DNA damage to white blood cells caused by toxins called oxygen-free radicals was discovered by Djuric and colleagues at Wayne State University in Detroit. The damage was, on the average, 40 percent higher in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients than in women who showed no signs of the disease.
"They have something different in
their blood ... and we believe it shows up long before a mammogram would detect breast cancer," said Djuric, a professor of internal medicine.
It is possible that the DNA damage could be detected with only a few cancer cells in the body. Djuric said.
"It's not a test,yet, but we are hopeful it will be some day," she said in reporting the finding to the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
The American Cancer Society says that 182,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States each year and that 46,000 die.
Pelayo Correa, a professor of pathology at the Louisiana State University Medical Center, said the finding was important.
"I think it does have promise," he said.
The discovery of DNA damage
also may be linked to other cancers, and more research is necessary to tie it positively to breast cancer, said Correa, who wasn't involved in the research.
"But if somebody finds that this marker is very high, then he or she can have a checkup and look at the breast and the lungs and the colon or other organs," he said.
Also at the meeting, researchers debated the influence of dietary fat on breast cancer. Walter Willet of the Harvard School of Public Health said a study of 120,000 nurses around the world had found that a high-fat diet did not promote the disease.
Ross Prentice of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle said his study of 48,000 women should determine whether a low-fat, fruit-and-vegetable diet after age 50 can reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
