President Nixon's Safeguard antiballistic missile (ABM) defense system, the center of the biggest debate of the nuclear age, survived its long-awaited Senate showdown by just one vote Wednesday. In a long afternoon of cloakroom maneuvering and sometimes harsh words, the President's plan to begin deployment of Safeguard's radars, computers and antiballistic missiles on sites in North Dakota and Montana barely managed to stay alive as opponents' efforts to block it failed twice by the slimmest of margins, first 50 to 50 and later 51 to 49.

Floyd Simmons himself sold the place last year and moved into a house about a block away.

His house was picked up and carried clear across the lake. "She (the tornado) just plowed right across the lake and the heavy damage was on the east side.
