Troubles Of Flooded
Areas in Midwest !.
BY the Assoeioied Press


North Dakota and Minnesota,
fighting the worst floods in 50
years, were blanketed by fresh
falls Of snow today-measuring
up to Is inches in some areas.
The snow whipped across the
fiood-ravaged areas of the two
States. adding new hardships to
the thousands of homeless. The
Red Cross had reported flood con-
ditfons ARE becoming steadily
worse" 1t said 6,40S families were
homeless in the food of the Red
River. which flows between the
two States.
The current rampage of the
Missouri River and its tributaries
has caused about 50 million in
flood damage in North Dakota,
Army engineers estimated.

The snowfall at Minot, N. OAK,
measured IS minutes and it was
more than 8 inches at Crookston,
Mimi, which was inundated over
the week end by a flash flood
from the Red Lake River. Heavi-
est falls were in Northern North
Dakota and Northern Minnesota.
The snow spread over parts of
South Dakota and Northwestern
Wisconsin.

emergency basis today as the wat

Authorities prepared for ration

IU.S. Believed Unlikely.
To Take Any Action on
Palestine Annexation

Unfted States reaction to an
nexation of Western Palestine by
King Adbullah Of Jordan report
edly included a feeling today that
the move merely carried further a
previously prevailing situation.
The State Department with
held formal comment pending
word from it's legation concerning
King Abdullah's signing of docu-
menLs yesterday adding 1900
square miles of Eastern Palestine
and the Old City of Jerusalem to
his kingdom.
1t was learned. however, that
some State Department officials
believe the question of recogni-
ton of the annexation is not likely
to come up. The United States,
they explained. has been dealing
for sometime on a de facto basis
with Jordon, which has occupied
most of that area since the end of
fighting with Israel. According to
this view, the annexation is re-
garded as a development in de
facto situation.
Challenge to Arab League.
King Adbullah's move, made
after a heated parliamentary de-
bate, confronted the Arab League
and the United Nations with direct
challenges.
The Arab League, at its last
meeting April l3 in Cairo, declared
that annexation of any part of
Palestine by an Arab country
would violate the league charter
and be subject to sanctions. The
United Nations is on record for
|internationalization of Jerusalem,
including the Old City.
Israel. in an official statement,
called the annexation an uni
lateral act" which it is not -recog-
nizing. 1t declared that the status
|of Western Palestine is subject to
final settlement in peace treaty.
Leftist newspapers in Tel Aviv,
Israel, bitterly assailed the an
nexation. They charged it opened
the way for encampment of Brit
ish troops within sight of Israels
main cities. A protest demonstra-
ton was planned for Saturday by
the Heruth (Freedom) Party.
Vacuum" Seen Eliminated.
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man said in London today that the
annexation eliminates "a sort of
vacuum in the Near East" Brit
ain. he said, would continue to
transact her business In that area
through Jordan. The annexation
does not involve any change in
Britain's relations with Egypt.
which has opposed the move, he
added.
AS a result of the stormy par
liamentary session at which 10
Palestinians urged delay and six
temporarily walked out, King Alb
dullah promised to amend Jor-
dams constitution to make the
government responsible to Parlia-
ment rather than to him. ~

why should we advance them
more money!"
The British proposal came in
the midst of Senate debate over
a $3,372. 100000 foreign aid bill
which contains $687 million for
Great Britain.
Senator Connally criticized his
colleagues late yesterday for fail
ing to remain on the Senate floor
during the debate. He said he
would demand faster action.
Only Four Senators on Floor.
"The idea of passing on a great
measure like this Senator Con-
nally shouted, when you can
count the Senators present on one
hand" At the time the only four
on the floor were Senators
Thomas, Democrat, Of Utah: Nc
Farland. Democrat. of Arizona;
Wherry and Connally.
Earlier, Democratic Senators
Thomas of Oklahoma and Nc
Clellan of Arkansas had intro
duced amendments to require the
Economic Cooperation Admin
istration to buy surplus American
farm products.
The effect of their moves would
be to force Marshall Plan coun-
tries to buy their farm commod
tiles in the United States-when
those commodities were surplus
here.
At present, ECA has discretion
in such purchases. and encourages
buying outside the dollar area
wherever possible to save dollars
In the past. ECA has opposed
forced purchases of United States
surplus crops. The argument is
that this policy would ham
string the ECA operation and sup
port the Communist propaganda

making Europe dumping ground

MEDICINE TREE

BY Joan Knight, RavaTli Republican
On the highway leading to Medicine Springs above Darby
in the Bitter Root valley is an ancient yellow pine, the base
now rocked up in an effort to preserve the tree. On the
resembles the head of an Indian chief. "
This tree was held sacred by the remnants of the Selfish
tribe. who regarded it as medicine. In the fall of each year
ceremonies were held at the tree, which was decorated with
beads and trophies until it reSenbled a bizarre Christmas
tree. At one of the last of these ceremonies in the 192GS
more than q, 900 persons gathered.
The story of the tree is that a mountain sheep was
boaSing of his strength to his ancient rival, the coyote.
To prove his words the ram butted the tree with such
strength that one horn imbedded in the tree, held him
prisoner until death. Old-timers say the horn remained in
the tree until removed by vandalS. They now point to the
scar.
Indians claimed that when a warrior was pursued by
enemies, he was pronounced safe upon reaching the tree,
justified in having their way with him.
