(By The Associated Press >
One man w*hs dead and two
university stuoents were missing
tocViy as floods inundated or
threatened hundreds of homes in
western Iowa and Nebraska.
At Missouri Valley, la., more
than 1,000 persons were homeless
and disaster threatened some
towns along the Missouri and Big
Blue rivers in Nebraska.
The dead man was George W.
Johnson 77, who drowned in his
flooded Missouri Valley, la., home.
The missing and Thomas M. No
lan, 22, and Charles Wermuoth,
20, students at Creighton Univers
ity, Omaha, missing since yester
day in the flooded area near Li

They were on a hunting trip.
At Missouri Valley, hardest hit
town in the flood areas, the town
was without gas, heat and water
and authorities said none was in
prospect for several days.
The trouble spots in Nebraska
appeared to be the towns of Crete
and Seward, in the Elkhorn Val
ley.
Forrestal Urges
Uniform Code
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of defense Forrestal and a Har
vard professor urged Congress to
day to adopt a uniform code of
military justice for all the armed
forces.
They testified before the House
armed services committee in sup
port of a bulky bill which would
give the nation its first blanket
code to cover the army, navv, air
force, marines, and coast guard.
Forrestal told the committee he
believes the proposed code •‘.s the
nearest possible approach” to a
‘‘proper accommodation between
the meting out of justice and the
performance of military opera
tions.”
Edmund M. Morgan of the Har
vard university low faculty, and
chairman of a board appointed by
Forrestal to draw up the code,
said:
“We have tried to prevent
courts martials from being an in
strumentality and agency to ex
press the will of the commander.”
team beat the University of Alas
ka in the opening game of their
