'Floods Predicted
i In Montana

MILES CITY, Mont. (/P>—’Worse
flood conditions than in 1943 when
! the Yellowstone went on a vicious
spring rampage were pred cted to
day by Goy W. Milligan, CAP
wing commander as he warned
residents of five eastern Montana
j farm communities to be on the
alert.
Milligan, who made an aerial
survey of the ice-glutted river
said he believed the lush Yellow
stone valley from Fairview, on the
; North Dakota border, to its con
fluence with the Missouri in North
i
Dakota, would be the scenes of
broad floods.
In 1943 the CAP and Red Cro-s
were called on to render aid when
1 spring floods sent the river over
this beet growing and cattle coun
try.

Floods Rage
In England
LONDON (/Pi — Flood waters
seeped into the largest London sub
way power station today, halting
service and bringing chaotic condi
' on; to much of England’s largest
city.
As floods spread in still more
areas of northern England, wiping
out crop prospects over many
acres, talk started in London over
the possibility of seeking another
American loan. The Labor govern
ment maintained silence.
Outside London, York was the
major flood sufferer as the swollen
Ouse River virtually cut the indus
trial city of 100,000 in two.
Virtually everyone was late to
work in London. Tie dead sub
ways caused Londoners 10 travel
by strange and devious route .
w-rvice was stopped entirely to
two main subway routes and slow
ed the other three. Seventy sub
way stations were closed.
Long lines stood at stops tor
buses, trolleys and taxis and be
fore telephone booths. Some form
ed at the better hitch-hike loca
tions. The transportation jam, the
worst in memory here, started just
before the morning rush hour and
lasted two hours.
Set-Aside Items
For Veterans
* _
The procedure for the purchase
of Sel-As'de Items or surplus prop
c ty by veterans has been greatly
simplified by making Army or
Navy discharge or release papers
the only instrument necessary fo.
veterans to purchase items espe
sially set-aside for their own per
sonal use.
War Assets Administration ‘for
merly Surplus Property Office, De
partment of the Interior) has an
nounced that effective immediate
ly veteran priority certificates
shall not be honored for items on
the Veterans Set-Aside List, which
veterans wish to purchase for their
own personal use, or personally to
be used in their own business, pro
fe.-sional, or agricultural enter
prise.
On future offerings of items on
lie Veteran Set-Aside List, it will
only be necessary that a veteran
present h's discharge papers at the
time of purchase, and these offer
ings will be on a “first come, first
sc ved” basis.
This will eliminate entirely all
“personal use” priority certifi
cates, and those “business u.-e” cer
tificates peculiar to the items n
cluded on the Veteran Set-Aside
List.
Certifications will continue for
veterans to purchase surplus prop
erty for use in his own small busi
