(fft The Missouri River threw its full weight today against the combined strength of 15,- 000 men, women and children and the trembling levee they built to protect their homes, their lives and their property. Levee workers in mud up to their knees looked down on a sight nev er before seen—the Missouri River surging past at 30.22 feet. Beneath them, the levee literally quivered under the crushing weight of the river, rising toward a pre dicted crest of 31.5 feet. The river funneled between the. hushed and deserted cities of East Omaha and Council Bluffs. Man Held On Theft Charge When John Willis Betha failed to return to claim the car he had parked in the yard of his friend, Henry Herring, Herfing became suspicious gnd notified police. As a result, Betha found himself in Court charged with larceny and receiving. Herring testified in City Court that Bertha came to his house with the car and asked him as a favor to allow him to leave it in his yard. The motor was knocking “like a load of mules stamping” Herring said and he drove Betha home in his car. However, when he failed to re turn after several weeks, Herring reported the facts to Highway Patrolman Wright of Goldsboro. He told the batrolman he thought the matter should be checked. Patrolman Wright told the court that as a result of his investigation 'Coniinaed On Png” Two' dant said he acted “as it he hadn’t a care in the world.” * Thomas spent most of yesterday under questior-ng and in re-enact ing the shootings.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18, 1952 Debate Livens Campaign Harriman May Be Candidate For President , NEW YORK (IP) W. Ave rell Harriman, a right hand man for two presidents, emerged today as a possible Democratic contender for the nation’s top office him self. State Democratic leaders who honored Hariman at a SIOO-a-plate dinner last night attended by some of the party’s “big names” and “king makers” were expected to choose him as their "favorite son” candidate at a meeting today. And reports from Washington in dicated that such a choice would have the approval of FJresi'|?nt Truman. Mr. Truman’s remarks at a press conference yesterday in dicaed he might support Harri man now that Gov. Adlai Steven son of Illinois has said he does not want the nomination. The dinner at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel, biggest Democratic get-to-gether so far this year, at tracted 1,500 guests who put some $150,000 into the party’s campaign kitty. PRAISED BY ALL Harriman, former ambassador to Moscow and now mutual security administrator, received the praises of such after-dinner speakers as Sen. Estes Hefauver of Tennessee and Robert 6. Kerr of Oklahoma, both avowed candidates for the party nomination, and- Stevenson, who removed himself as a possible standard bearer Wednesday. Stevenson, who smilingly apolo gized for coming to dinner a»' a ’’candidate for governor,” instead Os a ’'‘candidate for president,” warned that complex problems be ‘TOTtifjng Ameriban know? more about such problems than 1 Hprri man,” Stever:,on said. The Illinois governor said the Re publican party is “bereft of common purposes, policy, principles or pro gram" and told guests that “omens are good” for a Democratic vic tory In November. REMINDS HIM ,OF MULE “The Republican party reminds me of. the mule who starved te death standing between two stacks of hay trying to make up it’s mind which to eat.” Kerr and Kefauver both praised Harriman but devoted most of their speeches to paying tribute to the administration of Presidents Tru man and the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. BULLETINS CAIRO, Egypt (IP) Martial taw, imposed in the Si nai-and Red Sea province* of Egypt following the Pales tine war, has been extended by royal decree for one year.

The debate between Gubernatorial Candidates ISf bert E. Olive and William B. Umstead last night beiGTfc the Dunn Information Clinic brought out several mere issues for the voters of the State to ponder before tfigy. cast their ballot in the May 31st primary. A capacity crowd heard the two top-contenders lock horns and face j the questions hurled at them from | the floor head-on. At times, the session grew lively ( and spirited but each of the can didates held his own and few people were quite willing to decide who came out on top. Mr. Umstead said he opposed a bond issue to provide a veterans' bonus at this time because of the! pressing needs of the schools and metal institutions. Judge Olive said he favored the bond issue now. In coming out for the referendum Olive disclosed his first major difference with Mr. Umstead. Judge Olive, a Baptist leader who has claimed the support of the United Church League and other dry forces, admitted that he voted for the legal sale and Truman Is Accused Os Lytog By flutes WASHINGTON (IP) James F.
