Thousands flee floods
By United Press International
Floods have forced thousands
of persons from their homes in
Minot, N.D., and cold, blustery
winds sent shivers from the
Midwest to the Northeast and
sank a Chicago police car in
Lake Michigan.
Workers today raced to repair
and raise 35 miles of dikes along
the Souris River, which
meanders through Minot.
The river was expected to
bulge to eight feet over flood
stage in a week.
About 12,000 to 15,000 of the
city’s 32,000 residents were
ordered from their homes on the
flood plain along the
meandering river.

Big splash
will crest here Easter Monday
at eight feet over flood stage
with water Rowing through
town at the rate of 10,000 cubic
feet per second,” a U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers spokesman
said.
Some evacuees stored their
furniture in warehouses and
headed off to stay with friends
or relatives on higher ground.
Others put their belongings on
the second floor and moved to
motels or hotels.
“It’s all voluntary so far but
by Thursday it is mandatory
that they are out,” said the
spokesman.
Cold winds swept the Midwest
and the Northeast Sunday,
sending temperatures plunging
35 degrees.
a ~.
officers escaped as another wave pulled the.car toward
the lake. The officers were not injured. The temperature
dropped to the low 40s and with the 30 mph wind from the
north, the wind chill factor came out to 13-degrees, not
what you’d call a typical Spring day. (UPI)
Ten-foot waves pounded
Chicago’s Lake Michigan
shoreline, causing a police
squad car to founder.
Police said two officers drove
their squad car onto a North
Side beach to warn some boys to
get off the rocks along the
shore. The car was hit by a
wave, stalled and was carried
out further into the lake by a
strong undertow, police said.
The officers were soaked but
unhurt.
The wintry weather forced
postponements of major league
baseball games in Chicago,
Milwaukee and Oeveland Sun
day.
It looked like winter in
upstate New York. More than
two indies of snow fell in New
York’s Adirondacks and light
snow dusted other upstate areas
of the Empire State.
Temperatures were in the 20s.
“This is ridiculous,” an
elderly Rochester, N.Y., lady
complained as she cleaned an
inch of snow from her car
before driving to church.
“It better not be like this next
Sunday or I won’t be able to
wear my new Easter hat. It
wasn’t made for snow — and
neither am I when it comes in
the middle of April.”
Cold prevailed east of the
continental divide today and
frost or freeze warnings were in
effect from Missouri to
Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Maryland
and Delaware.
Lester
likes
new term
By WILLIAM COTTERELL
ATLANTA (UPI) - Former
Gov. Lester Maddox says
Jimmy Carter was speaking
truthfully “for the first time”
when he used the term “ethnic
purity” and did so to appeal to
the Wallace vote.
Maddox called UPI Saturday
to compliment Carter on his use
of the term “ethnic purity” in
defending established neigh
borhoods. Carter has apologized
several times for making the
remark .
“I don’t haye away to get in
touch with Jimmy Carter, like
you fellows do,” said Maddox,
“so you tell him I want to thank
him for coming out with a new
segregationist term. It was
‘ethnic purity:’ I think that’s a
great term. We segregationists
have been looking for one for a
long, long time.”
Maddox, Carter’s
predecessor in the Governor’s
Mansion, journeyed to New
Hampshire prior to that state’s
primary in February to bitterly
denounce Carter.
Maddox said Carter made the
“ethnic purity” remark
deliberately to appeal to
supporters of Alabama Gov.
George Wallace, now that his
campaign is faltering.
“He believed he was taking
the right political position, now
that some of the liberals have
been kicked aside and George
Wallace was faltering.
“He believed that would bring
some of the conservatives back
to him, but it backlashed on him
and he said he made a mistake.
I believe he was speaking
truthfully the first time,” said
Maddox, a longtime Wallace
supporter.
“The liberal and radical
establishment purposely used
Jimmy Carter to strike at
George Wallace. Now that this
task has been accomplished,
that same establishment wants'
to get rid of Jimmy Carter —
not because he’s not liberal and
radical enough, but because
he’s not been in the family long
enough. He’s looked upon as an
interloper.”
Young Demos
favor Carter
ATLANTA (UPI) - The
Georgia Young Democrats
overwhelmingly support
Jimmy Carter’s presidential
candidacy and want a
moritorium on construction of
nuclear power plants in
Georgia.
In a straw poll taken at the
YD weekend convention, the
former Georgia governor re
ceived 103 of 123 votes; Rep.
Morris Udall of Arizona got
nine; Sen. Hubert Humphrey,
three, and former Sen. Fred
Harris of Oklahoma, Gov.
George Wallace of Alabama
and Gov. Edmund Brown of
California, two each.
The convention adopted reso
lutions calling for a moritorium
on nuclear power plant con
struction in Georgia after Jan.
1,1980, and for the replacement
of one Confederate state holiday
with a holiday honoring the late
Martin Luther King Jr.
The group also reaffirmed its
support of the Equal Rights
Amendment and voted to
“actively support” legislators
who vote for the ERA.
Atlanta Mayor Maynard
Jackson told the convention
Saturday he will introduce a
city ordinance this week
allowing 18-year-olds to run for
mayor, city council and presi
dent of city council.
Jackson said he expects stiff
resistance to abolishing the
existing law, which requires
candidates for the council to be
21 and candidates for mayor or
city council president to be 25.
At a news conference with
Georgia YD President Tim
Bentley, held on the floor of the
Young Democrat convention
with about 160 applauding
spectators, Jackson said the
age should be reduced to avoid
“a continuing discrimnation
against young people” who can
vote and exercise all other adult
rights and privileges at 18, but
cannot run for city office until
they are 21.”
“I think it is appropriate that
new people come into new
offices,” he said. “Otherwise,
you have a perpetuation of old

lineism, old-fogeyism and old
ideaism.”
In voting Sunday, the group
elected new officers to one-year
terms.
A1 Williams of Liberty County
was elected national commit
teeman; Gerri Thompson of
Fulton County, national com
mittee woman; W. Stephen
Parker of Houston County,
director of membership; Calder
Pinkson of Bibb County, direc
tor of finance; Mark Brannan of
Thomas County, director of
community relations; Charles
Mathis of Bibb County, director
of judiciary; Kasper Abney of
Clarke County, director of
resolutions, and Trudie Carmi
cheal of DeKalb County,
parlimentarian.

How to Pick
Sleepers in
Rare Plates
NORTHBROOK, Ill.—The
director of a worldwide art ex
change in this Chicago suburb
has announced a new, easy way
to start collecting rare porce
lain plates with high resale
potential.
According to Roderick
MacArthur, director of the
Bradford Exchange, one excep
tional plate priced at $25 in
1965 now brings $1,750, and
another selling at $9.75 in 1969
now sells for $440.
Mr, MacArthur says, “Since
many plates do not increase in
value, amateurs often make
serious mistakes.” He offers-a
free report on what to look for,
when to buy, what to pay and
much more. It even includes
special offers on eagerly-sought
collector plates at modest cost.
To get your free report with
no obligation, just send your
name, address, and zip code to
the Bradford Exchange, 78013
Bradford Place, Northbrook,
Illinois 60062. ,A postcard will
do. To be sure of receiving your
free copy, please mail your re
quest before April 23, 1976.
