The final figures may be dif ferent. Greenwood told the council, as the application, due to be submitted Friday, has not yet been completed. He said the program being prepared is in two parts, one to be carried out by the Human Rights Commis sion and the other bv the American Indian Center.

Had Approved Application The council had approved the application and also had app roved a similar program for the American Indian Center, but apparently wasn't aware that the two had been combined and that the cost was that high.

Ralph Greenwood, director of the Sioux City Human Rights Comimassion, said the Omaha office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has asked for a statement of availability of city matching funds by Friday before it will approve a $50,000 federal grant before a July 1 deadline for grant approval. Without such a statement, Greenwood said, the $50,000 will be allocated to another city. Claim Surprise at Sum The request was presented at a special meeting of the council Tuesday.

Council members said it was the first time they had been made aware that the project was that large, and City Manager Wes McAllister said he and his staff also were sur prised.

George McGovern claimed victory "beyond our wildest ex pectations" in New York's Democratic presidential pri mary Tuesday night and said it put him on the threshhold of first ballot nomination. A complex system, a con fusing ballot and charges of ir regularities in some precincts slowed the count of votes in a primary that chose 248 mem bers of the 278-vote New York delegation. McGovern's organization said its proiections showed the South Dakota senator, who had no major opponent in the pri mary, would gain at least 175 to 178 of the elected delegates.

The 30 others are to be awarded in proportion to the outcome of the primary. That would put the McGovern tally over the 200 the senator set as his minimum target. Meanwhile, veteran Brooklyn Rep. Emanuel Ceuer, dean of the House of Representatives, fell behind in a seesaw count of Democratic primary votes Tuesday with district leader Elizabeth Holtzman. more than 50 years his junior.

That project, to be funded 50 per cent by federal government and 50 per cent by the city un der the TOPICS program to improve major urban thoroughfares, calls for four- Ianing of Fairmount Street from south of Gordon Drive north to Fourth and extension of Fair- mount on a new route north and east of Fourth and Fairmount to intersect with Lewis Boulevard at Sixth Street.

To Remove Bridge The old bridge at Fourth and Fairmount is to be removed and the Milwaukee railroad bridge across Fairmount at Second Street is to be replaced with a longer bridge over the widened street.

The Herberger Construction Co. of Des Moines was apparent low bidder on replacement of the railroad bridge at $235,116. Thit was 74 per cent of the estimate of $316,507, Morris said.

"Had such information been available earlier this year," Hughes said, "we might have avoided the dangerous situation of where an Air Force general conducted his own air war in defiance of presidential orders."
