Miller is a former state legislator who served two years in the state House of Representatives and seven years in the state Senate before becoming Secretary of state in 19C4.

In 18 gubernatorial contests, Democrats won 11, the Republicans seven. There are 20 Democrat and 12 Republican holdovers, making the new total 31 to 19. One of the biggest Democrat victories came in Illinois where Daniel Walker, SO, the father of seven, defeated Republican Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie, 49, unpopular for imposing the state's first income tax. Nixon won the state handily. J.D. Rockefeller Loses The biggest Democrat disappointment was in West Virginia where John D. Rockefeller IV, 35yearold multimillionaire scion of the Rockefeller clan, lost to Republican Arch A. Moore, 49, the first West Virginia governor allowed to seek under a constitutional amendment. Democrats were hoping a Rockefeller victory would push the personable young secretary of state into a position of national prominence.

"Most of the people want to go home now," said a protester who declined to give his name. The task force was hours agreed to in of negotiations that began Monday night and extended into the early hours of Tuesday. Final arrangements were completed Tuesday night and the Indians, who seized the BIA last Thursday, agreed to leave. Leonard Garment, a White House consultant who headed the negotiations for the administration, said the task force would include representatives from all federal agencies which deal with Indian affairs. Indian leaders said five of the memben would be Indians. In the 20 hours before the agreement was announced, the Indians relaxed their grip on the BIA and started leaving for home in small groups.

Carter said the body of one victim, a nine year old girl, was carried 12 or 13 miles by the racing waters. Search parties combed adjacent beaches for the bodies of other victims during the day and divers, aided by cranes, went to work trying to raise the sunken vehicles. The Coast Guard sent the cutter Smilex to the scene and also dispatched two patrol boats and a helicopter. A Navy 'copter also joined the search for possible survivors.
