Cities In Montana Threatened By Flood Pleasant Weather In Most Os U. S. By UNITED PRESS Muddy flood waters threatened rain-drenched Montana cities today as the southwest baked in dry summer heat. Rain also pelted the Dakotas and western lowa early today, but most of the rest of the nation enjoyed pleasant weather. Seventy-mile-an-hour winds in the Dakotas and a tropical sea storfn off the Florida coaet both abated today after raking the areas Tuesday and Tuesday night. Flood workers today sandbagged a 400-foot section of levees at the junction of the Sun and Missouri rivers at Great Falls, Mont., in an attempt to bolster the dikes before the Sun flood crest hits the city sometime today. Mayor James Austin of Great Falls said I,2<M) persons may be forced to leave their homes if the dikes crumble. At least 12 families were evacuated upstream ax Sun River, Mont., and the whole town was expected to be underwater today. Residents packed belongings and prepared to pull out as water swirled as deep as the hubcaps of . their escape cars. Farmers were seen tying boats to their houses. The high waters threatening Sun River and Great Falls, a city of 39.000, were caused by four days of heavy rains in central Montana. Early today, showers “bit Great Falls again, dumping .43 inches in six hours, The rains were blamed for the deaths of two boys Sunday afternoon. They were suffocated when the soft mound of earth on w'hich ] they were playing collapsed, i plunging them into a ditch. I The mercury stood at 89 a little < after midnight at Presidio, Tex., after reaching a scorching 108 $ earlier in the day. Wink, Tex., t reported 102. ’ \ L. B. Houston. Dallas, Tex., park 1 director said the Texas heat has i pushed the number of persons using municipal swimming pools I to 63 095 so far this year, compar- r ed to 53,757 last, year at this time. I This despite the fact that one pool r has been open only 2*4 days and t White Rock' Beach is closed —because -the water-conscious town is forced to take drinking water t from White Rock. ' *

He said the Rosenbergs, scheduled to die * June 18 for giving atomic secrets to Russia, sent him a telegram Tuesday after they had a 45-minute Interview with James V.

Indiana Farmers Gelling Work-but Warm Weather And Little Rain Seen INDIANAPOLIS, VP — Indiana farmers are getting a work - out because of weather ranging from hail to heat, crop reports, from throughout the state showed today. Forecasts for, the current week, however, call for warm weather and little rain. Observers believed that will help farmers get their fields in shape. ✓ The tomato erop suffered a big set-back. In areas like Marion, Anderson and Indianapolis, tomato planting was as much as two weeks late because of frequent rains. Near Logansport, at least 75 acres had to be re-set' because of wind and hail damage. Excessive moisture also boomed weed growth, the reports showed-, and farm workers put in many hours with a hoe. U. S. weather bureau reports said the Memorial Day holiday hot weather soaked up much ground moisture and few fields now’ are overly damp. t The hot; humid weather particularly plagued growers of peonies in the Vincennes area. They said many thousands were lost because

j the weather caused them to open 1 faster than usual and there Was insufficient cooling space. The Indiana employment service reported about 2,000 migrant workers in the state, more than a fourth of them in the Logansport area. Most of the 2,000 were Texas-Mexicans. The Anderson area reported the only farm labor 1 shortage. t ■ !_/ i F. * WARNS NATION ’ <Co»tl»nfd Fro— Pwte O»<) the capability of the United States . to support a major war effort.” r So far as can now be foreseen, - the committee concluded that any r airtight protection against enemy attack is “unattainable and . f completely impractical, economi- . cally and technically, in the face of > expected advances” in Russia’s > capabilities. t The committee also- concluded t that “no lasting answer” can be > set down at this time for a target goal for a desire level of air deI senses.

18-Year-Old Voting Faces Hard Sledding New Backing .Given By Administration WASIHIINGTON UiP — Toil administration backing has put'new drive into the proposal to let 18; year-olds vote. But it still, js a long way off. Politicians agreed the move hrs a long, hard road ahead even though it has the enthusiastic Isup- ? port of President Eisenhower, former President Truman and thd national chairmen of the Republican and Democratic parties. Some members of congress whose support is needed to put: the idea across refused to agree that a person old enough to be drafted and-fight in a war is old enough to vote. ’ Chairman Chauncey W. l(eed R-111. of house judiciary committee, Which would handle such legißlation, said that argunient isn’t a fair criterion. He said voting takes "discretion” and ho doubted whether an 18-year-old, just out of high school or perhaps still a student, had grown up that much. It would take a constitutional amendment to reduce the voting age to 18 |n al! states. Georgiy is the only state which has such a 18-year-old voting law now. Leaders of both political parties, promoted the idea with confidence that their side would get most o( the new voters. < ■ . The Democrats got most of the young voters in the late President Franklin D. Roose'velt’s four ejections to the White House. But, liepublican statisticians claimed a majority of them when Mr. Eisenhower won his election in I|ss. Census officials estimated there would be about 6,000.000 more potential voters if the age limit were cut to 18 immediately. The figure would rise to 6,800,000 if approved in time for the 1956 presidential election and soar to 7,500,000 if enacted in time for the 1960 campaign. How many of them actually would vote is problematical. Some political observers believe that youthful enthusiasm and the fresh memory of their civic class lessons would induce better than average turnouts. Others anticipate that teen-agers might join enthusiastically in demonstrations and the hoop-la of the campaign !but neglect to register. Vast numbers of persons now <jld
