Lewis To Talk Contract Term WASHINGTON. June 6 t'i Prompted by a sharp prod from Justice T. Alan Ooldsborough, John L. Lewis was ready today to re oien contract negotiations wiUi. Uie soil coal operators on Monday. The order to ncgoUate does not necessarily mean an early agree ment will be reached. Along with Uie execled union demand tor wage Increases, there Is Uie stumbl ing block of pension funds. Only four weeks remain to sign a contract before tho present agree ment expires June 30. While the miners customarily do not work without a contract, the current one allows a vacation from June 36 to July 5. Any strike threat by the 400.000 soft coal miners might therefore be delayed until the latter dnte. Goldsborough, who twice before has cracked down on Lewis, signed an Injunction yesterday directing the UMW and Its president to bar gain with the Southern Coal Pro ducers association. To comply with Ooldsborough's order, Lewis and Ills union have agreed to meet with the operators Monday. Whether Uie UMW chief would attend In person remained a question.

Dikes Plugged In Face Of New Crest Threat By WILLIAM PIIIPPS PORTLAND, Ore., June S WV The water-ravaged Pacific North west got more bad news today. The new Columbia river erest abullding In the headquarters would be the highest of the yar. The old one claimed more lives. Weary defenders of the soggy. crumbling dikes In the lower valley Braced, tnemselves lor the great river's new D-day. The big push starts Tuesday, a week to the day after they were hit by the first crest the worst In history. . On that day. said Veteran V. 8. River Forecaster Elmer Fisher, the bloated Columbia will be 3M feet deep at Vancouver, Wash., I5J feet above flood level and it A feet acroaa the river at Portland, Ore. That would top the old crest about tlx Inches. It may go even higher. Fisher said, but he can't see beyond Tues day on the strength of information available now. . There is no way of knowing what new destruction may be added to the toll already taken by savage blows of Uie Columbia and Fraser rivers in the United States and Can ada this spring. Bodies Found L Twenty-til dead. The city of Vanport, drowned by the blowout of a Columbia dike Memorial Day, ipewed its first bodies last night both children torn by the boiling waters from the arms of their flee ing parents. 3. An estimated $140,000,000 dam age In Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. Fertile farms flooded, homes of almost 60,000 persons Inundated or Isolated, lndus tries stopped, communications snarled, transporuton crippled. The first flood down only inches from its peak still hammers con stantly at erer-tofteninr dikes. The pounding will go en every minute, every boor nntil the new erest crashes down the Columbia's lzOO milea to the Pacific If the levees hold that long. Now it is a batUe against time. Build up the dikes. Plug up the holes. And pray. No one knows if the barriers will hold until the next hour, until to morrow, until next week. Situation CriUcal The aituaUoh in the lower valley from. Portland to the sea la this critical: Three breakthroughs as dike tops crumbled along the Oregon shore. In the C'latskanie area yesterday. A blowout that blasted a secUon of a small dike on the Washington side near the twin ciUes of Longview and Kelso. A bad leak that only a diver could patch. With earth, sandbags, mats and a porous rock material called ben tonite that swells in water, weary troops and civilian volunteers 're paired the breaches. But lor how long? And how long would it be before Uie submerged war bousing project of Vanport gave up more bodies of its 18,700 residents? Victims Identified Its first two victims were iden tified as Michael and Sally Butcher, two-year-old son and 11-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nor man Butcher.

The thousands of survivors are being sheltered and fed by publie or private relief agencies or have been taken into the homes of rela tives or friends. Efforts in Uie refugees' behalf progressed. The PorUand housing authority asked congress for $50,- 000,000 tor the public housing ad ministration. Tlus would be for grants and loans so refugees can rent or buy permanent homes. Ear lier, Uie Portland agency had re quested $10,000,000 for trailers and other emergency housing. Money Added Senator Magnuson tD-Wash.) yesterday added a $10,000,000 emer gency appropriation to a previous request to congress by members of Its Northwest delegation for $75, 000,000 to restore damaged public works in Uie flood area. Meanwhile, the battle continued with what was already here con tributions of money, clothing, food, tired but willinc hands. Men and machines were stationed at critical dike area along the test 300 miles of the swollen river from the rocky mid-Columbia gorge to the ocean. Upriver the fight has been going on for more than two weeks, and the business district of The Dalles, Ore., still Is In danger. Down near Portland, levees pro tecting Uie $43,000,000 Reynold aluminum plant at Troutdale are soft and getting softer. The plant has shut down. All its men are on Uie dikes. Farther toward the river's mouth dikes still are endangered In addition Deer and Puget Islands In addition to the Clatskanie and Longvlew Kelso areas. It's the same along the Fraser In British Columbia. The flood level is down but Uie dikes threaten to give way as they did Thursday at Bamston and Hatsiz islands east of Vancouver, B. C.
