(Bend Bulletin Photo) More Troubles Faced as Rivers FRANKFURT. Germany (UP) The s.virling brown waters of the Rhine, Danube and Seine rivers flooded parts of Germany and France today and threatened even worse devastation. ' Official and unofficial watchers mounted anxious guard along the three ureal rivers as thaws in the wake of winter's worst storm sent icy water from melting snows into the riverbeds. Germany's two greatest rivers, Hie Rhine and Danube, were rising ominously and catastrophe was threatened for hundreds of thou sands of Rhinelauders and Bavar ians. Paris authorities prepared sand bag defenses as the Seine lapped at the concrete parapets of the riverside embankments in the heart of the city. Authorities planned to close an air terminal near the Gare des Invalides if the water rises further. Clear skies and crisp weather replaced the savage gales which killed at least 16 in Germany dur ing the weekend and nine in France but Hie rivers still were on the rise. The crisp weather halted the thaws in some areas, but the Rhine was rising three inches an hour at Bonn and floodwatrrs were lap ping at the basements of the Ger man Parliament and American Headquarters buildings. Duisburg, Europe's biggest in land port, was closed to all marine traffic in an effort to keep the ris ing Rhine waters from the harlxn itself. Rhino River waters also hit France, and in the eastern part of the nation an embankment gave way at Lautorlioui'g, inundating the lower quarter of the town. Authori ties dvnamited a dike .at Erstein to save the Alsatian capital of Strasbourg. Some bridges were w ashed out. Britain suffered from record snowfalls, and the Royal Air Force and Navy ordered out helicopters to help 17.000 persons cut off in the northern Scotland counties of Caithness and Sutherland by snow drifts sometimes "JO feet deep. Hell copters dropped 200 pounds of food M inlay and new blizzards wore predicted, lloavv snow blanketed the Scan dinavian countries and most of Central Europe down to northern It ily. North Sea shipping was hard hit and airline schedules were dis milled.

Island Action May Herald Drive :or Tachens TAIPEI, Formosa (UP) Red China today claimed the surrender of tiny Yikiangsluin Island less than three hours after the Com munist forces launched a full scale invasion of the Nationalist island. The surrender came, according to a Communist broadcast from the United Press, shortly after 2 a.m. EST. There was no Imme diate confirmation of the surrend er by Nationalist headquarters here. The brqadcast said Red troops hit the Island's beaches three hours earlier. The invasion was preceded by an aerial bombard ment. The invasion, If confirmed, will be the first successful Communist Chinese Invasion of any Nationalist- held offshore islund and military observers predicted It may be the first round In a buttle for the strategic Taehen Islands, 12 miles to the south of Yiklangshan. Earlier the Nationalist Defense Ministry confirmed that a battal ion of Nationalist troops was bat tling two separate Red attempts to get astiurc at Ylkiangshan, which guards the approaches to rachen Islands. The Nationalist headquarters suid the attack was preceded by bombardment from 60 Red Chl- nese nomuers, escorted Dy itus- Nan-mado MIG15 fighters. The "- ' ""' "i'i""-- mui muU i sou to the Tachens as a Christmas gift from America. The air-sea attack was the first combined operation against Chiang Kai-shek's outpost islands since the "little war" erupted in Ihe South China Sea last Septem-- her with the shelling of Nationalist held Quemoy Islund. Second Heavy Attack The U. S. Seventh Fleet, which has been committed to protect Chiang's main island of Formo sa 250 miles south of the Tachens, was reported In the Tachen group area. More thnn 100 bombs were drop ped on Yikianghban and Tachen during un early morning raid. The raids, sicond heavy ab tack on the Tachens by the Com munists In eight days, were con sidered so serious that Chiang call ed his top militnry leaders on Formosa inlo an emergency coik ference. A U. S. Foreign Aid Operations spokesman on Formosa said the Red raiders destroyed half of Taehen's relief supplies, including 1K,000 food packages given to For- nosa by the Catholic Nationul Welfare Council. WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary if Stale John Foster Dulles said today the island of Yikiangshan,, which Red China Invaded today, is of no particular lmortance to 'he defense of the Chinese Na tionalist stronghold of Formosa. His statement, which appeared o rule out any likelihood of U.S. military intervention in the fight- ng at this stage, was made at a news conference as the Pentagon 'eceived official reports that the sland had fallen to the invaders. The reports came to the Joint "hiefs of Staff from American miliary observers in Ihe Far East. Military sounes told reporters hat the island could serve as a itepping stone for a Red invasion of the Nationalist-held Taehen Is lands group north of Formosa. .Wlil.CS ON CKUSK GROTON. Conn.
