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."

of the American Eecf Cgps, to
&3 espreosed Re renizetion'

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.
