(PI nnrirofl !l CO Northeast; Deaths Rise to 158 ) J L- By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS Spring's bright sunshine in the snow-stricken Northeast Tuesday offered operntion dig-yourself-out a helping hand. J The new eason came a day earlier than usual, on the 20th, because of the leap year. But It was not early cnounh to forestall winter's last legacy, a double barrelled weekend blizzard. The price of the storms that smashed across the country from Ohio to Maine on Friday and on Columbia River Flood Warning Heard Again 0LY1IPIA UH Another warn ing of potential spring floods was sounded Tuesday as representa tives of federal, state, local and private agencies met to review resources available to cope with high water. Anthony J. Polos of the United States Weather Bureau's river forecast center at Portland said the Columbia River and several other Washington streams east of the Cascade Mountains will flood Under normal conditions. If temperatures are higher than normal and rains are heavier, the floods will be worse. If tempera tures remain cooler than normal and there are few rains, the floods wili be less damaging or may not materialize at all. Polos said. ' But, under normal conditions, Polos said the Columbia will reach a peak of 25 to 28 feet at Vancouver where the flood stage is 15 feet. High water may en danger Portland, Vancouver, Longview-Kclso, The Dalles and other points upstream-.'' Polos said the Yakima, Okanog an Wcnatchee and Pend Oreille rivers can be expected to ""ood under normal weather conditions. And if temperatures and rains are worse than usual, flood stage may be reached on the Spokane, Mcthow and Snake rivers. "Barring heavy rains we do not anticipate any serious flooding of streams on the west slope of the Cascades," Polos said.

Ellsworth (R-Ore urged the committee to reconsider its elimination of a 2-million-doIlar item for access road construction and $250,000 for timber inventor ies, both in the Oregon and Cali fornia railroad grant lands. Rep. Mack (R-Wash) opposed a $300,000 cut for timber manage ment to salvage fire-killed tim ber. Neither proposed an amendment to reinstate the items. They told a newsman their remarks were intended to stress to the House the importance of the items in hopes they will be reinstated by the Senate and accepted later by the House in conference. Ellsworth emphasized the two million dollar access road money actually is money which other wise would go to the 18 O k C counties if not appropriated. Mack said use of the $300,000 cut from the timber sales item would have produced about four million dollars in revenues through receipts from timber sales. Sunday-Monday was 138 lives and hundreds of millions in lost busi ness, interrupted payrolls and other costs. The New York City business ' loss alone was estimated at ISO millions, and the cost of snow re moval was put at 2' million dol lars more. j Stand U Lane In little Rhode Islaad workers' stood to lose three to four million dollars on their payroll. i Armies of men, housewives and j children bent to the task of lift-' ing the snow siege. j Heavy equipment attacked I mountainous drifts. And slowly life resumed its everyday rou-i tines. i Traffic moved again as drive-' ways, side streets, country roads j and main arteries emerged from' their white blanket. j Trains and airplanes shook off blizzard-inspired inertia. Here and there localities that had imposed states of emergeriry j lifted them. Schools prepared to reopen. T Remain But it would be days before the snow mantle disappeared. And there was a vague threat that thaws would bring floods. However, the Weather Bureau in New York said it saw no sign of imminent danger. It is still too cold, a forecaster said, for much melting to occur, and not much precipitation is ex pected. . " " The Army Engineers in New England echoed this. After a sur vey, they found thawing normal and said there is little likelihood of flooding unless it rains excep tionally hard in the next few days. Na Warning -The big question on the first day of spring was. How come there was no warning of how win ter would be? The harassed Weather Bureau could only blame unpredictable nature. - 'Forecasting is not a science, said the chief New York City weatherman, Ernest J. Christie, sadly. "The forecasts called for snow, but not as much snow as fell," added the Washington Weather Bureau. Here is the state-by-state death toll from the two storms: Massachusetts, J7; New York, 31 i New Jersey. 31; Connecticut, 13; Rhode Island, 12; Ohio, 12; Pennsylvania, 7; Maine. 6; Vir ginia, 4; Maryland, 3; Delaware, 1; and New Hampshire, 1.
