More than 46,000 persons were homeless and other thousands faced possible evacuation from rising flood waters in seven cen tral and southern state today.

 The homeless included 22,0OO in Arkansas, 12,000 in southeast Missouri, and 12,00O in Ken lucky.
 Surging streams, including the Ohio River, blocked many high ways and forced some schools to close.
 West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee also had flooded areas. Three persons have drown ed in West Virginia.

Shungank Election For Reservation to Be Held Saturday
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

WASHINGTON, (R)-An cleo tion on proposed creation of an Indian reservation at Barrow, Alaska, has been postponed by in terior secretary Chapman, Sena- tor O'Mahoney O.-WyoJ said to- day.
 !! An election on the proposed Fly daburg reservation previously had been deferred, to give Chap man an opportunity to study the needs of the Indians further.
 O'Mahoney, chairman of the 1 Senate interior affairs committee, told reporter that an election on a third proposed new Alaska reservation. al Shungnak. has been set for tomorrow and can not be postponed.
 The committee demanded late yesterday that Chapman postpone the elections until the committee 1 has time to study the depart ment's policy in creating Alaskan Indian reservations.
 The committee said it also wants to study the rights of the natives to land or payment for land that formerly belonged to the tribes.
 Former secretary of the interior Krug on his last day in office is sued orders creating three Indian reservations in the Territory sub ject to favorable action at an cleo ton to be held at each place by the Indians.
 The proposed reservations were at Barrow, where it was planned to set aside 750 square miles; at Shungnak, to cover 2,30O square miles; and at Hydaburg, where 100000 acres would be set aside.
 Chapman told the committee January 16 he would order postponement of the Hydaburg election, set for Feb. 6, and later ordered 1t held April 24.
 At that time some committee members understood Chapman to testify that he would order all three elections postponed, but the next day the department ordered those at Shungnak and Barrow to he held on Feb. 4 and 8.
 A hurried meeting of the con- mittee was called yesterday after Senator Gordon R.-Ore0 and other members insisted that Chapman be called to explain "why he changed his mind" about Barrow and Shungnak.
 Governor Gruening of Alaska and Delegate Bartlett of the Ter ritory urged the committee to have the elections postponed, say ing it would do much harm to re- turn them to reservation status.
 They were joined by Gordon, Senator Butler R.-Neb) and Sen ator Cain R.-WaShO. Cain is not a member of the committee but has pending with Butler a bill to take away from the interior de- partment the right to create Indi- an reservations in the Territory.
 The decision yesterday to re- quest Chapman to postpone the elections was reached after assist ant secretary Wailliam E. Warne, told the committee the secretary felt he did not have the power to Continued on Page Four)

BOOK: REVIEW

By Sister St. Hilary THE GOLDEN WARRIOR by Hope Muntz. THE GOLDEN WARRIOR is the story of Harold and William and the Norman Con- quest. It must not be confused with the modern so-called historical novel. Miss Muntz has spent sixteen years in research on the book, she is writing history, not fiction, yet has managed to develop a thrilling and human story, written with power and re- straint.
 The scene is England and Normandy from 1051 through 1066. It is peopled with men and women of heroic stature. capable of consummate knav- cry and equally consummate heroism. The events lead up to that chapter in English his- tory which changed forever the entire world. The entire story revolves about Harold, whose strength was matched only by his own weakness, and whose life was character ized by sorrow.
 This is Miss Muntz'' first novel; it is to be hoped that it will not be her last, for her style is unusually virile, more closely resembling that of Sigrid Undset than any other writer thus far has achieved.
 This is no ordinary novel; it is obvious in view of her many years of preparation that the historical aspect is quite au- thentic. It is a close-knit, clearly presented picture of one of the most colorful peri ods of history.
 , G. M. Trevelyan, the noted English historian, in his fore word, says of it: 'I regard it as an honor to be asked to in- troduce to the public this re- markable book. it is a saga human in its appeal"
 "The Golden Warrior" was the choice of the Thomas More Book Club for February. It is not yet on the shelves of the Community Library.

Haskell Students Make
Signs For Museum

The Museum of the Plains In
dian has for some time felt keen
ly the need of suitable exterior
signs, which would indicate to
passers-by the name and nature

This need has been met most
adequately by the recent installa-
ton of FURNISHED aluminium let
tiers across h e east facade, as
we'll as above the main entrance.
These signs were made by In
dian students in the Vocational
Department of Haskell Institute
at Lawrence, Kansas. They were
designed by Mr.. Cedarstrand,
Architect for the Indian Service
in Washington, D. c., who also
designed t h e building of the
Museum of the Plains Indian.
The signs not only add to the
beauty of the building, but their
installation is being felt in in
creased daily attendance.
