Spokane and Walla Walla appear to be out of the danger area. The Pend Oreille River could cause trouble in the northeastern part of the state and to communities in Idaho, Walker and Hastings said, and high water on the Snake could endanger the Clarkston-Lewiston area.

This would put the government storage capacity near the one billion bushel level. In making this announcement, the department said the storage ! problem still remafns acute.

Bridges told reporters GOP leaders spent more than an hour going over the patchwork bill with the President. While Eisenhower expressed dissatisfaction with it, and a hope that it could be im proved in conference with the House, he did not discuss the pos sibility of a veto, the senator said. The Senate's majority leader, Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, was in a more cheerful frame of mind about the job the Senate did for the farmers. Threats Igaored "The Senate ignored the threats of a veto and the intimidation of Benson (secretary of agriculture) and voted to give the farmer more t income," Johnson said. "I believe ! the conference can improve the I bill as It was passed by the Sen ate. "We will do everything we can to give the farmers more income this year." ' In an unusual move, Rep.

Today there are fewer sue. open areas where tornaooes can hit and not cause damage. Tornadoes usually have a path half-mile wide or less. They may sweep along the ground for only a few hundred yards, or for up to 40 miles. They can dip up and down, and jump long distances. So it s hard to tell if two separated places were hit by the same tor nado, or by two different ones,, ha explains. ' Recent Warm-l As part of the evidence for tha recent general warm-up, Prof. Wil lett cites: Marked melting of glaciers in some areas from 1900 to 1940. This 'includes glaciers in the southern borders of Greenland. Average winter temperatures were about six degrees higher in Southern Greenland and Iceland and 13 degrees higher in Spits bergen during 1930-40 than 1910-20.. For the last 30 years, icebergs have been fewer and not travel ling as far south as they had been. Icebergs, however, vary widely vear bv year. and are-affected , by winds and currents as well as by temperatures. Warm-water marine life has mi grated northward. Clams on the Northeast coast, for example have been damaged by green crabs w hich formerly were not found north of the Long Island region. For some 20.000 years, we've been coming out of the last of four stages of a great ice age; the pleistocene glacial epoch. We seem to be two-thirds of the way from a peak of glaciation to a period of no ice mantle at all, Prof. Wil lett says. Ice May Advance But there is always a good chance that there can be a short term upswing in glaciation, with some icecaps advancing again for a while. More knowledge of where we are beading weatherwise, and methods 0f improving weather forecasts, are expected to come from world- '.wide scientific studies durine the International Geophysical Year starting in mid-1957. Scientists will cooperate in stud ies of wind circulations, changes in the sun's radiation, glaciation, ocean currents, and other factors that influence weather, climate, and human activities governed by climate and weather. vision, recently reorganized, at 4 p.m. today; Operation Home Im provement committee, 3:30 p.m."!'
