Jelferson was ft states-right-er because he feared big central government. What has happened In Die past J years proves the sound ness nnd the RIOHTNESS ol Jeff erson's fears. What we need, perhaps more thnn onythlng else If the American sy of life Is to be preserved, Is to bring the bulk of our govern ment bnck to the stnte houses, the court houses nnd the city halls.

The most serious flood appeared at Havre, Mont., where the Milk River spilled over lis banks nnd forced some 1.300 persons In Uio city of 8.000 population to leave ihelr homes. Martial law was de clared In the northern part of Uie city to protect homes and business houses from looting. Damage al ready has been estimated at more Uian S300.000. Rapidly melting snow In the nearby Bearpaw Moun tains sent the Milk River to over flowing. About 10 residential blocks were flooded In Pierre, 8. D., as Um Missouri Illver climbed a hall foot nbove flood singe. Small sections of nearby Fori Pierre aUro weie Hooded by Uie Missouri and its tributary. Bad River. The Missouri also was overflow ing in pnrls of. North Dakota, In cluding portions of the Buford- Trenton IrrlgsUon project I'eur Wtlllston. Floods nlso have lilt parts of Minnesota, Wlscon&in nnd Iowa, but no serious damnge was reported. Cooler wenther was reported over most of the flooded area, with below freezing In most of the NorUiern Plains Slutes. It nlso was cooler In pnrts of New England, the Middle nnd South Atlantic States nnd the Ohio Valley. Mild wenUier continued nlong the Oulf Const and In Texas nnd Oklahoma westward lo the Pacific Coast.

THURSDAY 1952 Build Utility new subjects carrvlng 20 hours credit; 3) Put OTI on the same school calendar as the University and other stale colleges: 4i Approved a policy change al lowing students five credit hours of electlves such as physical educa tion. Journalism, bind, etc. 6) Approved establishment of an Academic Council of lo members lo set up new courses and certify graduates; 6i Approved a Police Academy to be operated for Oregon city police forces under OTI supervision. Severnl other technical changes nppeared designed lo benefit both students and Instructors. The special Investigating commit tee also met with a special stu dent committee to discuss the stu dent protests. Principal among these student protests were kicks about the lay ing off of two Instructors (since reinstated), a charge that the cost of athletics was hurling the school's scholastic .offerings and a beef about the handling of student ac tivity funds. The students quickly learned that the Instructors were laid off ac cording to state directive which limits Uie number of Instructors to a specified student load; found that no state funds were used for ath letics and abolition of athletics would not afford any additional scholastic facilities; and learned that student activity funds were administered strictly according to slate law. The special student committee In a written report to Ihe student body said: "Unfortunately, our campus fam ily quarrel got out of hand nnd gnve enemiei; of this school what they believed to be live ammuni tion In ncutile this institution. "We warn them lo proceed cau tiously lest they find Uiey are shoot ing blanks. "We- now huve' excellent rela tions between the administration and the students." - - The committee fi'rther warned the school's "enemies" that stu dents would fight for the school's future to the point of going direct ly to the Str.tc Legislature. The "enemies" rjferred to could only mean Slate Federation of La bor chiefs James Marr and Kelley Loe. These two men have repeat edly attacked the school holding mat the rcaeraiion's apprentice training program v.'as superior to OTI Instruction. Local labor organizations have strongly endorsed OTI and fought the Stnte Federation attempts to discredit the school. In nnv event, on today is evi dently stronger than ever before. White Spud Lack Feared WASHINCfOIf IT) Agriculture Department officials said Thurs day there may be a severe short age of while potnloes this month in many areas of the country. Shortages hnve been showlnir un In a number of urban markets in the east and on the west coast, and are likely to increase. Consumers can expect little re lief before early May. when this year's early crops start moving to market In volume from Florida, Alabama and California, officials said. The tight supply situation largely reflects the fact Uiat production last year dropped slightly more thnn 100,000,000 bushels below the previous year's big crop of 530.- 000,000. Withdrawal of government price support hnve been described as the major factor In this reduction In the crops. Officials said that an abnormal ly lnrge quantity of Maine pota toes hnve been moving to the West Const because production there last year wns'not large enough for that region's needs. The crop In Idaho, a major west ern oroducer, was low In quality, resulting in quite a portion of the crop being thrown out as culls.

Truman Locks Loyal Record WASHINGTON Wl President Truman Thursday ordered Secre tary of State Acheson to turn down a Senate Committee request for de tailed information mid complete files on the Stal5 Department's loyalty-security cacs.
