Melting Snows,
Heavy Rains
Worry Officials
Seattle -CPD- Melting snows
in the mountains and heavy
rains today were swelling
Western Washington rivers to
the point that officials were
gearing for a repeat of the
devastating floods which hit
the area late last month.
The Army Engineers were
moving into the areas threat
ened by the rising Snohomish,
Snoqualmie, and Green rivers
which dealt out millions of
dollars worth of damage just
before Thanksgiving.
Nearing Normalcy
Last month's flooding
closed all major mountain
passes to cross-state motor
and rail travel, forded hun
dreds of families to leave their
homes, and wrecked havoc
with thousands of acres of
rich farmland. The area, its
cross-state motor facilities still
crippled to some degree, was
just beginning to return to
normalcy.
Early today the Corps of
Army Engineers, which is co
ordinating the flood fighting
efforts, said the Green river
was expected to reach a crest
of 66 feet at 6 p.m. in the
Kent-Auburn areas south of
here. The Snohomish river to
the north was expected to
reach 29 feet by 3 p.m. Both
figures would put the rivers
a foot or two lower than last
month's levels but still would
be considered dangerous flood
proportions.
Bridge Taken Out
The Snoqualmie river to
the west of here was reported
two feet below its previous
high early today and had al
ready taken out a temporary
bridge built to replace a span
torn out during the previous
disaster. The Snoqualmie is
the stream which ate through
the four-lane U.S. highway 10
east of North Bend, closing
the vital Snoqualmie Pass.
Workmen just this week re
opened the pass to one-way
traffic.
Two other rivers, the Ska
git and the Stilliguamish, both
in the northwest portion of
the state, were reported rising
and nearing flood stages as
well. .' ' j , .. .
Civil defense'and Red Cross
organizations were making
preparations today to move in
if the situation warrants.

Press Barred From Cape Canaveral Missile
Test Center Firings Due To Rule Violation
Advance Release
01 Launcing Date
Given as Reason
Cape Canaveral, Fla.-flJPH-The
press has been barred
from the nation's missile test
center for military missile fir
ings by the commander, Maj.
Gen. Donald M. Yates.
The, Air Force commander
said the action Monday would
prevent on-the-spot coverage
of military launchings such
as the Atlas, Titan, Thor and
Polaris missiles.
Coverage of non-military
shots will not be affected.
Agreement Said Violated
Yates said' a United Press
International story from
Washington last Saturday vio
lated an agreement with the
press concerning advance pub
lication of the date for the
launch of a Thor-Able rocket.
This rocket, the story said,
would launch a payload to
ward an orbit around the sun
this week.
The commander said he had
given the date to reporters on
the cape on a hold basis. But
UPI told Yates the Washing
ton story was based on infor
mation gathered independent
ly of the missile test center
and from non-military sources.
Other Sources
Soace probe shots are under
the supervision of the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration. Yates is con
cerned primarily with mili
tary firings.
Often missile information
is available from NASA ci
vilian sources in Washington.
The press ban includes re
porters, photographers, radio
and TV staffers.
