Washington Gets
Heavy Rainfall;
Lowlands Flooded
Astoria Measures
2.47 Inches of Rain
Portland HINi A heavy rain
storm which brought some
flooding to Western Washing
ton lowlands moved into
northwest Oregon today and
posed a flood threat.
"Substantial rises" in all
streams of northwest Oregon
were predicted. Forecasters
said whether Oregon would
have any serious flooding such
as plagued the northwest part
of Ihe state on Thanksgiving
Day two years ago remained
to be seen.
Smaller streams in the Port-
I lancl, aroa
including Johnson
creek, will overflow their
banks and the weather man
said some flooding was pos
sible along the Sanliam river.
However, he said no flooding
was expected in the Willam
ette al this time. The Wil
lamette was al a reading of
2.B feel at Albany and 1.8
feet at Salem al R a.m. and
flood stage at both locations
I is 20 feet.
I Olympia Wet
Olynipia, Wash., reported
four inches of rain during the
24 hours ending early today.
The Snoqualmie and Snokoin
ish rivers were expected to
go over their banks while the
Nooksack and other rivers in
northwest Washington already
flooded lowland areas. The
Skagil river was expected to
flood al Ml. Vernon, Wa.sn.
Rain and gusty winds pelted
Western Oregon late Monday
and Monday night and heavier
rain moved in from the
north early today. Astoria had
Oregon's biggest amount
2.47 inches in the 24-hour
period ending at 4 a.m.
But heavier rain fell after
thai hour in other parts of
northwest Oregon.
Snow Melts
Timberline Lodge reported
rain and slush, meaning that
melting snow could add lo the
potential flood hazard.
The gusty gale force winds
recalled the Columbus Day
storm but they were nothing
like those of Oct. 12. Gale
warnings flew on the coast
today but winds arc expected
lo decrease tonight.
I The weather man said a
new Pacific disturbance was
' forming at sea off Southern
1 Oregon. The amount of pre
cipitation in this storm could
he an important flood factor.

It was expected that Soviet

they expect a major break in
the Cuban crisis negotiations
this afternoon.
It was possible lhal Khrush
