Brown's appearance sparked angry questioning from citizens, mostly black, who had been invited to testify. Several called on Brown to surrender his position to someone who had an interest in the poor white and black. Brown, casually dressed, appeared anpry and confused as he answered the questions. He refused to make an opening statement, saying that he had come to listen and answer questions the committee or the audience might have concerning the council's operation. He was accompanied by his wife and two daughters.

Arthur L. Green of Hartford, chairman of the International Human Relations Association of Official Human Rights Agencies and chairman of a special committee to evaluate the city's council, agreed to preside at the hearing in Transfiguration Lutheran 1807 Biddle Street.

The fire department reported it was first hampered in fire-fighting efforts by deep flooding, but "we now have the fires under control." Four creeks normally about 20 feet wide and five feet deep twist through the city.

But when the flash flood rumbled from nearby Hills after an inch of rain, the creeks expanded into raging rivers a half-mile wide and 30 feet deep. Authorities said the water was beginning to subside by midmorning. Numerous fires were touched off when the flood ruptured gas lines and downed power lines, causing sparks that ignited leaking gas. One center for homeless victims was set up in the city auditorium and the other at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Center.

Normally, two reporters and two photographers representing the Associated Press and United Press International are alerted in time to witness Mr. Nixon's departure from Camp David.
