The SP has t river crossing away from the slide area. Rear said cost (or operating a small shuttle-like train would be '400 a day. The city of Reedsport seeks gov ernment assistance in maintaining the emergency transportation. City Manager Rear said that, in all, some 450 persons are affected by the slide, The sum includes 150 commuters, 150 loggers and the 150 students. Rear said there was no chance to go around the slide convenient ly. It is possible for emergency travel over a mountain raod some distance away. That road is im passable for all except sturdy jeep like vehicles. Rear Thursday night said much damage in the Reedsport area came from high winds which blew down less-sturdy buildings and from 10 inches of rainfall which i fell around Christmas. No evacua tion was necessary in the citv. he said, but the 2.000 residenta "got their feet wet." This week the Reedsport Port Umpqua Courier noted that a 1 1 schools in that area would re-open Monday at 8:45 a.m. The paper said plans made by educators to field road near Walker ranch. Bus es would be provided to make con nection with the train. According to the paper Long-Bell and E. K. Wood lumber companies have agreed to participate in the cost of the train-bus route on a three-way split with the school, up to $100 each, during the emergen cy. This plan evolved at a special Wednesday night meeting of Iteeds port and Gardiner school officials. Rear Thursday did not seem to think the matter had been so com pletely settled.

She s a id so at a press reception I in her parents' home here late yesterday, several hours after the surprise announcement that the Oscar-winning actress and one of the most eligible bachelors any where were engaged.
