By dawn Friday, the levees and flood walls protecting this popu lous metropolitan area were to be taking the worst the rampaging Missouri has to offer. There was a feeling in Council Bluffs, from mayor James F. Mul queen down to the men working on the levees,. that the battle might be won. The same guarded optimism prevailed in Omaha. The unprecedented mass of water, constricted into a bottle neck formed by the cities, pushed with terrifying force against the protective works. Qut of water’s reach, no mat ter what happens, were some 34,000 of Council Bluffs’ 45,000 residents and another 5000 across the river. These are the folks who abandohed their homes in fear of the worst, leaving nearly three fourths of Council Bluffs and the entire east Omaha and Carter Lake, la., areas across the river ghostly vacant, The river level late today passed 29.7 ,feet. A crest of 31.5 was. expected during the night. Flood stage is 19 and the previous record, high in 1881 is 24.6. Relatives to Fight Co-Pilot's Sentence EL PASO, Tex., April 17— (JP) —Relatives of an Air Force co pilot sentenced to prison for refusal to fly" said today they planned to fight his case—to the President if necessary. Friends and relatives joined the wife of Lt. Verne Goodwin in protesting his two-year prison sentence. As this step developed .in Goodwin’s behalf, Gen. Hoyt S. Van denberg told newsmen in Wash ington a “so-called” stay-down strike of fliers was-a “tempest in a teapot.” Goodwin is 29 and' a native of Peabody, Mass. He refused to fly in- a C-124 transport plane to England last December. He said he feared it would have caused his wife to lose their unborn child. Vandenberg’s comments were about a- more general situation— of which Goodwin’s case was a part.

Founders, Inc., New Jersey By" the Associated Press WASHINGTON, April, 17— (ff) Sen. Hoberi A. Taft of Ohio said tonight he is not entering the Presidential preference primary in Pennsylvania "because that primary has never had the slightest influence on the dele gates selected'f ro m Pennsyl vania."

Harry Byrd (D-Va.), long a powerful figure in the Southern political scene, also sup ported Russell as the “strongest candidate in sight.” ' ' With the Harriman boom scarcely under way, Sen. Paul Douglas (D-lU.), a top midwest Democratic leader who'has some times differed sharply .with the Truman administration, threw his support to Senator Kefauver. Meanwhile, Senator Taft told a news conference in Boston that President Truman’s seizure of the strike-threatened steel industry is “a valid case for impeachment.” licity given to charges brought against a “small” number of air men “is not indicative of anything as- great as seems to appear on the surface.” He said he didn’t believe the trouble would con tinue because' the Air Force stopped recalling reservists in voluntarily five months ago. ■ Goodwin was convicted of in subordination by a military court at Biggs Air Force Base here yes terday. He was sentenced to two years hard labor, dismissal from the service, and forfeit of pay. DAYSTROM INSTRUMENT Division'of Daystrom, Incorp. Archbaldr Pennsylvania THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
