Lamps, curtains, rugs, chairs and a variety of other personal property cluttered the tops of houses as the surging waters, choked with ice, floating furniture, dead livestock and other debris, swept by. Willie Red Boy«25, of Poplar, Mont., fell into a washout, grabbed a cottonwood tree and screamed. But by the time rescuers heard him, he had lost his grip and was swept away.

Report River Choked

Some reporters said that an ice gorge choked the Missouri from Bismarck to the mouth of the Cannonball River, 40 miles south.

At Mandan, seven miles from Bismarck, the waters knocked out the town’s drinking water plant. Although water invaded the Bismark _ plant, officials said the supply was still safe. Most of the flooding was caused by an ice jam about five miles south of Bismarck, which acted as a dam and the waters backed up behind it.

A Tragic Ending For Loyal Miner

' (CDN)~Looking ahead after a

lifetime of mining, 57-year-old Antonio Vincentin was feeling pretty good. “Just one more hour to go and ll be officially retired,” he told two workmates as they rested in the Billy Hughes mica mine in the northern territory. Then the mine roof caved in, killing him.

Japanese nationals and development companiés owned practically everything of value in Korea including factories, railroads, mines and approximately 500,000 acres of the best farmland in the country. All Japanese property in Korea was confiscated by the United States military government and turned over to the Korean government, lock, stock and barrel. The bulk of Japan-owned land was redistributed among Korean farmers four years ago. Japanese negotiators say in one breath that they recognize the validity of the United States action in transferring Japanese holdings {to Korea. But in the next breath {they say Japan “by no means re[neunces the original ownership of
