The Columbia flood crest bore down on the Liatakanie area today In lla rampage to the Paclflo ocean. Th river lapped lesa than three Inches from dike top and waa going higher.

Situation Critical V. 8. army engineers described tho 1 situation In the Clatskanle area as "critical" and It put the same label on five other areas, extending as far upiiver as Portland where the crest passed yesterday. But nowhere waa the margin be tween safety and destruction aa narrow as the cryptic "freeboard, two-tenths of a foot" reported by the enrineera amnml ft-,-) i - i Upriver, the most vital "critical'' points were in the Sandy and Mult nomah drainage district along Portland's north and eastern out skirts. There 200 troops and 700 civilian volunteers fought to bolster flood-battered dikes and keep Port land's airport and the big Troutdau) aluminum plant from Inundation. Deer Island In Path Other critical areaa were SaoTlear Island slightly downstream from Portland: Seappooee. 22 miles down, and Deer island, near the Oregon shore about midway between gcap poose and Clatskanle. Of these the Scappoose area seemed In the greatest danger. The engineers said there was a combina tion threat of dike softness and only one and one-half foot freeboard.

Federal Aid Impetus to the tremendous task came from President Truman. He ordered federal agencies Into full speed rehabilitation of the stricken region. Volunteer agencies, local and national, struggled to get their own aid programs going. The Red Cross and Salvation Army reported gains in providing housing, shelter, food and clothing. The Red Cross said It Is caring for 7000 families registered in Uie Port land area alone. It praised Port land's response In donating 20 tons of clothing and 200 tons of food.
