Montana
Great Falls, Mont., June 8
CP—The worst floods in .Mon-
tana’s history have claimed the
lives of eight persons. At least
70 others are reported missing.
Damage is estimated in the
million of dollars. Searchers
are looking for the missing 70
along Birch Creek near the
community of Valier, about 60
miles northwest of Great Falls.
The superintendent of Va-
lier schools, Bruce Milne, said
search operations are center-
ing on a section of the creek
hit by a huge wall of water
from a broken dam. Air Force
helicopters plucked many per-
sons from roof-tops and trees
in the Valier area.
Streams and rivers have
swept over a wide area of the
northwestern part of Montana.
They have been fed by days of
heavy rain and a late-melting
snowpack. Four earthen dams
and at least 25 bridges were
swept away by the powerful
torrents.

Geneva, June 9 (P — The
International Commission o f
Jurists in Geneva has cleared
the United States of Panama’s
charges that the US troops and
police violated human right*
in the Panama Canal Zone
riots last January. But the
commission found that exces-
sive force may have been used
to put down rioting and stop
ipteg from Panaras’s side of
the herder.
Ida commission also criticis-
ed Panamanian authorities for
faiHag to curb the snipers and
for doing nothing to stop in-
flammatory broadcasts made at
the height of the crisis.
Twenty - two persons — in-
cluding three American soldiers
—were killed and about 325

June 9
(AP) — Michigan’s Gov-
1 ernor George Romney says
i that former Vice-President
, Nixon and several Repub-
lican governors have been
I urging him to become a candi-
date for the GOP presidential
nomination. Romney made the
statement at a Cleveland news
conference after a closed-door
discussion with Nixon. Romney
said he will take the matter
under consideration.
A source close to Nixon says
Nixon went even further than
Romney indicated publicly.
Nixon was said to have argued
that unless some alternate can-
didate is offered, uncommitted
delegates will scramble for the
bandwagon of conservative Sen-
ator Barry Goldwater in the
next few days.
Previously, Romney said that
he had committed himself to
Michigan voters not to seek na-
tional office and could only ac-
cept a convention draft. Last
month he announced he would
be a candidate for re-election
as Michigan’s governor.
Romney said that the im-
portant thing is to give Repub-
licans a choice at the party
convention between a candi-
date who would support the
traditional principles of the
party and one like Senator
Goldwater who might not agree
to a forward-looking platform.
Romney declined to name
the state governors he said
were urging him to take more
active role. Previously, he con-
ferred with New York’s Gov-
ernor Nelson Rockefeller and
Pennsylvania’s Governor Wil-
! liam Scranton. Romney, Rocke-
feller and Scranton said after
that meeting that their discus-
sion was limited to platform
proposals.
Ike Makes Plea
Former President Eisenhow-
er made a strong states rights
speech last night to the gov-
ernors’ conference in Cleve-
land. He warned against big-
ness in government, and his
prepared address con trasted
sharply with a speech in Penn-
sylvania yesterday by Presi-
dent Johnson, who called fear
that the federal government
will menace liberty “a phan-
tom fear”. Eisenhower urged
that states act to amend the
constitution to require that
federal budgets be balanced ev-
ery two years.
Eisenhower said this could
be done under a power the
states have never used — the
power to compel congress to
call a convention to propose
amendments to the U. S. Con-
stitution when two-thirds of
the state legislatures seek such
action. He urged similar action
toward another amendment,
giving the president power to
veto individual items in appro-
priation bills. Eisenhower said
such an amendment would
bring a halt to what he called
“costly pork barrels, so belov-
ed by self-serving politicians—
and an end also to one of the
many devices which centralize
power in Washington.”
Eisenhower took a swipe at
what he called President John-
son’s “so-called war on pover-
ty,” which he said should be
done by the states with fed-
eral help.
