To Nominate General
ike for President
WASHINGTON, Juno 2 (UP)
— Stop-Truman southerners art
seeking a northern Democrat to
nominate General Ike for Presi-
dent at the Democratic National
Convention. It meets in Phila-
delphia July 12.
A northern nominator would
reduce the sectional appearance
of the party rebellion. Strategy
would be for Alabama or Arkan-
sas to yield to a northern ntati
when the nominating roll is call-
ed. The strategy would be to get
Gen. Eisenhower's name before
H«S convention ahead of the
President's.
Southern rob- Is would prefer a
northern nominator from a- large
state, the bigger the belter. They
have their eyes on New York
or Illinois but so far without nail-
ing their man Neither delega-
tion is formally instructed for Mr.
Truman.
What the southerners claim is
that they have northern partners
in their plan to unseat Mr. Tin-
man as party leader. Their strat-
egy is aimed in part at per-
suading him tu step out before
t'onvention balloting begins. Ike
probably will not be the only op-
position name al the convention.
Sen. Harry K. livid, Va.. Gov.
Fielding L Wright of Mississippi
and Sen. Walter F. George, Ga.,
are likely starters. Hut Ike i:
the only man with whom the
bolters believe tiny might lie':
the Republican entry.

Columbia River
Begins Falling
At Portland Today
PORTLAND, Ore., June 2 —
(UP)—The Columbia River began
falling slowly at Portland today
and the flood crisis appeared to
be waning after two weeks of
record-breaking d e v a s t a t i o n
throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Approximately 100,000 persons
were driven from their homes, 28
persons were killed or drowned
and an estimated $80,000,000 dam-1
age was inflicted on crops, prop-'
eriy and riverfront industries in (
four states and British Columbia.
During a three-hour period, the •
Columbia dropped from 30.2 to I
30.0 feet at Vancouver. The Wil-
lamette, carrying a backwater
load from the ( olumbia, lowered
six-tenths of a foot during a 12- .
hour period,
The danger to the flood-striek-
en Portland area and down-river |
communities was not yet elimina-
ted, however. Volunteer workers |
and troops, laboring under search i
lights, fought through the night
and morning to prevent a threat- i
ening break in a North Portland
dike which would flood a farm'
land area 12 miles long and two i
miles wide. !
The Columbia's mighty crest, j
gathered from a myriad ol '
streams and creeks throughout
British Columbia, Oregon, Wash ;
ington. and Idaho, moved down- ,
stream toward th< river's mouth
at Astoria, Ore., 112 miles dis-l
tant.
As it bulged over and through
its retaining dike . the river pour-
ed flood waters into a row of de-
serted communities despite the .
day-and-night toil of volunteer
