The Mississippi's major flood crest was at Lansing, Iowa. The river's rise was attributed to last week's rain but it did not affect towns in Wisconsin where the flood threat was must seri ous. At LaCcrosse, the Mis- sissippi began receding after falling 2 feet short of the rims of the levees.

Thirty-mile-an-hour winds churned up the flood waters in Wisconsin. The rising water threatened to eat away an em bankment at the door of four houses in LaCcrosse. Prairie Du Cnien, offU cials said all affected residents at the waterfront were evacuat ed and that wind-blown waters caused the great problems. Small streams in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine spilled over their low banks as heavy rain followed the snow melt. The flooding was light along the major streams.

There was no serious flooding reported in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina or Florida but there were minor overflows in the four states. No populated areas were threatened. Farmers along the Savannah River in Georgia and the Appa lachicola River in Florida rnoved livestock to higher ground. 1 Other rivers posing flood threats in the South included the Santee, Tombigbee, Pearl and Big Black. There was also flooding along the Sulphur, Sabine and lower Trinity rivers in Texas.

Weather experts in Minnesota said the worst of the flooding was ended in that state. The Mississippi's crest has passed out of Minnesota and the crest of the Red River of the North, which is. flooded its entire length, is moving into Canada. The Mississippi is not expects ed to recede to flood stage at St. Paul until April 30, or at Winona until May 3.

The Missouri River was 3 feet above flood stage at St. Charles, Mo. Harvey Wise SWANSEA, S. C. Harvey Wise, 65, of Swansea died Monday afternoon in a Columbia hospital.

Ph. WASHINGTON MP)- Presi dent Nixon has not moved fast enoucrh in his first 90 days In of fice to meet the crises that face the nation both at home and abroad, according to DemocraW ic leaders in Congress. "It Is not too early to note the slowness of the pace of the Nixon administration," said House Majority Leader Carl Albert of Oklahoma. "The time, for action is past due." The Republican assessment, as could be expected, took an opposite tack. The GOP congressional leaders see the President as using his first three months to build solid foundation for his foreign and jomestic policies to come.

House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford, said that In Nixon's first 90 days the President "has concerned himself primarily with the tasks and responsibilities of the peacemaker. The search for peace in Vietnam and in the Middle East-was clearly Mr, Nixon's first priority." But, Ford added, the President also has "engaged in a thorough-going study of our domestic problems and an overhaul of Executive Branch machinery." "In the broad sense, therefore," Ford asserted, "the President used his first 90 days in the White House to exercise the kind of global leadership, on which peace is built and to carefully map domestic proposals aimed at achievable objectives "In brief, President Nixon has restored balance to our foreign (Ely Cimt anb fletnorrat Published flvtfy morning by th.

I By appearing at the televised spectacle, Husak emphasized his determination to carry out a struggle against the anti-Soviet feeling that erupted after the Id. vasion. In contrast, student groups staged scattered sit-ins to pro test Husak's -rise to power and what they termed bis attacks on the intellectual community. At the pro-Soviet rally the audience and the party leadership rose at least five times for prolonged chants of loyality to Moscow and applause in ca dence during the main speech by Lubomir Strougal, hard-line, pro-Soviet member of Husak's Presidium. One of the mass demonstrations broke out when Strougal assert ed the oartv has a right "to ex pel people who violate its policy while hypocritically speaking of its acceptance." "The Communists who can or will not subject themselves to the majority, who regard party discipline as mere dogmatism.

must be told that they do not be long In the party," Strougal added to the cheering crowd. Husak, Svoboda and Dubcek rose to join the applause when Strougal made such statements as "our relations to the Soviet Union are governed not by geog raphy but by the fact that we are Communists and have the same Marxist-Leninist ideolo gy." There was also wild applause when Strougal asserted, "the sovereignty of our republic can be realized only in a bond with the Socialist countries." This time, white-haired Presidentt Svoboda stood silently. Czechoslovaks hoped the dem onstration would strengthen Hu sak's position in his expected trip to Moscow Tuesday toe his first meeting with soviet bloc leaders since he assumed the post of party chief last week.

Rogers disclosed Monday that the So viets last week test-fired a huge. multiple-warhead SS9 missile into the Pacific. And since the Soviets have indicated intent to use the pacific Ocean test range through mid- June, Rogers said, "We can only assume that testing of the SS9 will proceed at a steady pace." The Soviet buildup in SS9s is a principal administration argu ment for President Nixon's go- ahead on building this country's Safeguard antiballistic missile system.

The Pentagon says the muU timegaton atomic explosive power of the SS9 makes it a weapon capable of a nuclear first strike by the Soviets. The SS9 could seriously impair U.S. capacity for a nuclear strike- back, U.S. Defense Department experts say. Rogers, addressing the Asso ciated Press annual luncheon.

referred to the recent Moscow announcement of additional in tercontinental missile test shots into the Pacific Ocean. "Only last week one of these tests included firing of an SS9 equipped with multiple re-entry vehicles," Rogers said. He said he hopes for U.S.-S0-viet agreement on a nuclear arms curb. But today's security decisions cannot be based on the potential success of future negotiations, he said. The administration would have very much preferred not spending money on the expensive ABM but Nixon's godhead decision on the antim issile.

At Columbia, SDS leaders said they were giving Acting President Dr. Andrew Cordier one week to accede to demands, including abolition of ROTC, the admission of more Negroes to the university and a priority student voice in black studies programs. If the demands were not met, an SDS spokesman said, the high school pupils "will return and struggle alongside of Columbia students," The spokesman said all Negro, Puerto Ricah and white pupils from the four high schools, whoseparents earn less than $8,000 a year, automatically should be admitted to Columbia.

The SDS spokesman acknowledged that the Student Afro-American Society was not supporting the Monday rally but said individual Negro college students would join the demonstration.

Court Upholds Crime Law On Threats WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court upheld Monday the federal law that makes it a crime to threaten the life of- the president or vice president of the United States. At the same time the court cautioned that the law cannot be used to suppress "political hyperbole," and that prosecutors must prove the existence of a real threat of physical violence. The ruling was given on an appeal by Robert Watts, a 21-year-old New Yorker who had been convicted for declaring that if he were forced to enter the Army and carry a rifle "the first man I want to get in my sights is LBJ." This was taken by a federal court in the District of Columbia to constitute an unlawful threat on the life of Lyndon B. Johnson, then the president, and Watts was given a four-year suspended sentence.

1 The Supreme Court, without holding a hearing, decided the law was valid this was the first time the high court bad ruled on it but that Watts was not really threatening Johnson and set aside bis conviction by a 5-4 vote. remarks were made while he attended, a meeting of W.E.B. Du Bois Clubs on the Washington Monument grounds in August 1966. The court's ruling was un signed. The five members who combined to upset the conviction were Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice Hugo L.

Black, William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall. Their opinion said: "The na tion undoubtedly has a valid, even an overwhelming interest in protecting the safety of its chief executive and in allowing him to perform his duties with out interference from threats of physical violence.

"Nevertheless, a statute such as this one, which makes crimi nal a form of pure speech, must be interpreted with the com. mands of the First Amendment clearly in mind. What is a threat must be distinguished from what is constitutionally protected speech." C.UU. P.O. Box 795 30 NEW DRYERS oi lcs J.W.

Ph: 534-2798 VESTIIIGIIOUSE By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A second student sit-in in as many weeks began Monday at Harvard's University Hall while the president of Cornell, another Ivy League school, declared a "situation of emergency" stenu ming from Sunday's armed takeover of the student union.

At Columbia University, a third Ivy League member, the dissident Students for a Democratic Society invited pupils from four high schools to join a campus rally demanding open admissions for pupils from those schools. At Harvard, about 150 stu dents marched without opposition into the ball, the school's main administration building. carrying out an SDS vote Sunday night to stay there until 5 p.m., the closing hour. An estimated 1,000 young people milled about outside in the Harvard Yard. A tits meeting, the SDS said it would not accept anything less than full expulsion of Reserve OfficersTrainingCorps on campus.

Earlier, school officials ac cepted a faculty recommendation that ROTC be made an extracurricular activity, and promised to provide alternate housing for residents of Cam bridge and Boston displaced by Harvard students. The SDS is demanding full ex pulsion of ROTC from the campus, while Negro students also were calling for an active voice in forming a black studies department. The new sit-in followed by three days a mass rally at Har vard Stadium at which 4,000 students voted to end a week-old class boycott. At Ithaca, N.Y., Cornell's President James A. Perkins pledged a series of measures aimed at bringing back "law and order and stability" in the wake of a 36-bour occupation of the student union building by gun-carrying Negroes.

No more guns would be allowed on the Ivy League campus, Perkins said, adding, "The business of occupying buildings as a way of doing business must cease." Any organization promoting occupation of buildings will be disbanded, any student found carrying a gun will be suspended, and nonstudents will be arrested, Perkins said.
