Certain Chemicals Among these, it said, are cer tain chemicals such as calcium oxide (unslaked lime), sodium potassium, and magnesium; fine ly divided metals, such as scrap, metallic sulfides such a. gas works residues; burlap bags, jute and bituminous cd; hay, grains, alfalfa meal, animal feeds, fer tilizers, fish meal and scrap and sawdust. The Hoard said swelling o water-soakedfibrous materials such as paper and jute may push out walls or wrecj building columns. Their added weight may also cause floors to col lapse. , 0 the danger would abate efter today. Another trouble spot wag near the hamlet cf Verona, some 18 miles south of Yuba City, where the Feather river joins the Sac ramento river. There the high waters threatened to collapse a levee holding back a 300-foot wide drainage canal. Another flooded area was the town of Alviso n the southeast ern shore o San Francisco Bay. A high tide backed up the rain swollen Guadalupe river, forcing a steady two-inch flow through a 30-foot break in a levee guard ing the town. At last reports, some low sections of the town ere under four feet of water. ' Guardsmen ea Duty In Yuba City, the 10,000 resi dents who fled for their 0lives last Saturday when the Feather river broke through a levee were returning to their homes. Emergency sewage facilities were in use. Some 450 National Guardsmen enforced a curfew to prevent looting. The death foil at Yuba City reae to 2? when two more bodies Were iound in the rubble yes te4ay. Jn that area alone, 6300 i families were affected by the flood,. Some 280 homes were rie&royed, 1000 suffered major Glocklers -- damage and 4500 minor damage. The State Reclamation Board made plans to build a new 10,000-foot levee around the Yuba City levee break in the hope of eliminating the so-called "Shanghai Bend" which was in directly blamed for the levee's failure. The federal Civil Defense Ad ministration established disaster centers at Eureka, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Stockton, Yuba City and Reno to help in the work of rehabilitation. Home Extensively Damaged By Fire The Arthur Glockler resi dence, Griffin Creek rd., was ex tensively damaged by flames yesterday afternoon. City firemen said that the blaze was started from an over heated stove and flue and had gained considerable headway be fore it was discovered. The Glocklers were not at home at the time, firemen were told. The alarm was turned in about 4:20 p.m. after a passing motorist saw the fire and re ported it to a neighbor of the Consideration for Albany Plant Told Portland (U.R) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger said today he had been informed by Lewis L. Strauss chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, that "seri ous consideration" would be giv en to requests to development of zirconium at the Albany Bureau of Mines laboratory. Neuberger had protested against allowing the Albany fa cility to stand idle. Strauss told the Portland Democrat that "once it is deter mined that development work should be done at the Albany plant, we will solicit industry wide proposals as we have done for our production needs." Three Vehicles In Accident Yesterday Three vehicles were involved in en accident near the main entrance to Camp White on Highway 62 about 8:40 a.m. yes terday. Pickup trucks operated by Paul R. Yocum, 52, of 1142 Spring st., Medford, and Marvin Stanley Cook, 23, of route 1, box 435, Ashland, and a car driven by Verlan Clair Jacoby, 66, of 940 Murray st., Medford, were involved, according, to state police. Police said the Cook and Jacoby vehicles were north bound on Highway 62, and the Yocum vehicle was making a turn into a service station. There were no injuries and the ve hicles were driven away under their own power," police said. A car operated by Henry Jesse Fields, 65, of 1315 Locust st., and one owned by Mary Lucille Emmert, general deliv ery, Central Point, were involv ed in an accident near the inter section of Old Stage rd. and Beall lane early today, police said. Former Peron Minister Sentenced by Court Buenos Aires, Argentina -AI.W Former Army Minister Gen. Franklin Lucefo, who command ed forces loyal to Juan D. Peron before he was overthrown, has been sentenced to loss of his rank and use of his uniform for "most grave misconduct." Provisional President Pedro E. Aramburu Wednesday ap proved the sentence handed down by a special military court Dec. 20. The court found him guilty of spreading Peronista propaganda in the army and other charges. Eugene (U.R) Lane County Circuit Judge Frank Reid Tues day upheld a demurre? brought by State Rep. Loran Stewart in connection with fraudulent mining claim suit. The demurrer, filed fcy Stew art and Lawrence Chapman, contended the facts in the case did not support the charges, and that causes in the suit were net $oeK joined. oain Phillips of Baker ttfougftt tfc 75,000 suit against Sfevaff enS Chapman, and Fred anft "William Bartels claiming itirt ne arteH gave him an eSiaa o buy mining property ritftout iniormin him mat Stawert nd Chapman already held opticas on part of the property. !

Bail was set at $100,000 each. vross cnaofer ows Gratitude To imdreds Of People' Suspected Umatilla Bank Robber Returned Portland U.R) Jack Edwin Hill, one of two men arrested in connection with the $57,500(j)cjvii defense workers, worked ugene Xhorndike, chairman ot f?e Jeckson eounty chapter of the American Eecf Cgps, to &3 espreosed Re renizetion' g?Stiude to Piuhdfeds of peo fW So offced with and tor that agomcy SuPin tRe flood emergency'. He had high praise for the veterans organization of Rogue River and Shady Cove, to the Granges, to gjoups of church women, and to countless indi viduals wsp worked cooperative ly and without complaint to make fhings easier during the emergency. I Others Pitched In Thg Red Cros which (yester day was designated as the offi cial flood relief agency, cannot claim credit for all the work which was done, Thorndike de clared. Civil defense workers, state police, sheriffs deputies and men and -women with no official connections pitched irw to help with no thought except to get the job done, he stated. Leroy Webb, Rogue ftiver, and Ray Briggs, Shady Cove, "around the clock," Thorndike reported, typical of the many people who worked cooperative ly3 with the Red Cross organization. Because of the 'open-hearted generosity" of families whose homes escaped destruction, it was unnecessary to establish mass care centers. Thorndike reported, for ftie homeless fam ilies were taken into the homes of neighbors and in some cases are still there. CBnteene Maintained A canteen was maintained at Shady tove during the worst of the flood, and a canteen at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall at Rogue River has been operating all-week. It was to close today. Hundreds of meals were furnished there for flood victims and workers, Thorndike said. Disaster headquarters in Shady Cove is still the schoolhouse, and at Rogue River it will be the city hall, effective Friday. Operations are still on an emer gency basis, according to Miss Josephine McNamara, Red Cross "disaster worker from San Fran cisco, who is n charge of flood relief work in Jafitson and Josephine counties.-Another pro fessional worker was due here today. Most of the food during the emergency period was provided, or paid for, by the Red Cross, although Thorndike expressed appreciation to many people who donated supplies of food to supplement the Red Cross stores. The Rogue River Grange hall has been donated for use as a depot for additional sup plies needed, he said. LARSOrl APPLIANCE COllPfifiY (Formerly Lirson Miy Co.)
