YANKTON Ufl Sen. George McGovern, promised Saturday he would give efforts to halt erosion of Missouri River banks in the Yankton area top priority in the Senate next year. "We do have a very dramatic and serious emergency," McGovern said of the erosion near Yankton's Sacred Heart Hospital. An Army Corps of Engineers spokesman estimated hospital structures would be endangered within three years if steps are not taken to control the erosion. 'He said the force of the river now strikes the bank below the hospital almost directly.

McGovern stopped briefly in Yankton to discuss the erosion problem with an area water development committee and concerned citizens. He was accompanied by his wife, Eleanor, on his first trip back do South Dakota since Nov. 7 when he conceded losing the presidential race to Richard Nixon, McGovern called Nixon's veto of a bill that would have ap propriated money for bank stabilization in the area "regretful." lie said this was not a part i a assessment because "people in both parties agree that this is something that needs to be done." Area landowners told McGovrn the water discharged from Gavins point Dam has accelerated the erosion problem. They said more than 400 acres of land is lost each year to erosion. A University of South Dakota student, Frank Lockridge of Aberdeen, was the only person at the meeting who spoke in opposition to a bank stabilization program.

Lockridge said he agreed that the erosion problem near Sacred Heart Hospital should be corrected. But he said the stretch of river between Gavins Point Dam and Sioux City, Iowa, should be left as free as possible from development. He said this is the last portion of 'the Missouri which remains in a relatively natural state. Lockridge said he did not feel the small amount of land lost to erosion was a compelling reason to alter the river's natural banks. Rushmore Has Recognition At Bicentennial Site PIERfiE Nation-wide, 45 per cent of the public recognizes Mt.

Rushmore as a national bicentennial site, according to the image study of the Department of Highways' communications division. "This recognition suggests to the Bicentennial Commission that Mt. Rushmore already has a good base for further promotional activities related to the celebration," notes Arnie Stenseth, state bicentennial director. "We expect many South Dakotans to choose Mt. Rushmore as the place to visit for their bicentennial vacation." According to the image study, out-of-state visitors can also be expected in heavy numbers.

Of the people questioned, 6,6 pel- said they definitely will attend an out-of-state' bicentennial commemoration; another 18.7 per cent are very likely to do so, and 32 per cent oj; the respondents are likely to go out of their own state for commemorative events. "We hope a good percentage of those who already plan to leave their home states will come to South Dakota during the bicentennial," says Stenseth. "We have a bead start on promoting the bicentennial in South Dakota because of Mt. Rushmore's early designation. We hope that head start will also enable us to be ready statewide to welcome all the visitors who choose tp travel to South Pakota.
