This warning came Thursdny from Uie water management sub commlttee of Uie Columbia Basin Inter-Agency Committee. The commlttoo noted Uiat there still la a heavy anow pack In Uio headwaters of the Kootcnnl, and said a warm ap'oll could aend Uio river rising as high as 33 lo 35 foot at Bonnors Ferry, whoro a flood crest earlier broke farmland dikes and threatened the town for days. That crest reached 3o.fl feci. "With Uie dikes saturated aa they are, Uie situation might become critical In that vicinity of the Co lumbia Baaln," Uio subcommittee reported. For Uio Lower Columbia River Uie oroat still la expected to bo between 33 and 26 foot In Uie Portland-Vancouver, Wash,, area. Little damage normally result at those levels, although flood atago la 15 foot at Vancouver, Dikes protect much of Uie area. , i Red China Opposed To West Plans GENEVA W Red China's Chou En-Lal aimounced Friday he firmly opposes reported Western plans for ending the Korean phase of uie ucncvu conierence. "There Is no reason whatsoever why we should stop going," he aid. The Chinese Communist pre. mler-forcign minister addressed the ID-nation group trying to for mulate a plan lor unification of war-divided Korea. He charged Uie U.S. delegation, led by Undersec retary of Slate Waller Bedell Smith, la trying to prevent any agreement at oeneva. The nlne-purty Indochina peace talks were In recess, probably un III item week, as Uie two chair- men British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov conferred on how lo tackle Uie conference's deadlock. Eden and Smith were reported to havo agreed on general proce dure lor winding up uie confer ence. Tliere appeared to be no ev. rience Uiat either aide would make the concessions required tor agree ment. , One highly Important Western diplomat said: "The failure of Uit conference certainly seems to be within alght." Awaiting the outcome of the Eden-Mololov meetings, the Indo china talks were In recess. The two diplomats are Uie chairmen of Uie conference. , KOREA CONFERENCE A meeting of Uie 19-natlon Korean conference, however, was set lor this afternoon. This, too. Is deadlocked and Western diplomat already bavo written It off as hopeless. The Edcn-Mololov discussions were expected to consider three possiollllies: 1. Thai the talks should continue In aeml-publlc meetings, auch as Uiosr of the past three days, which allow the fullest publicity to Uie proceedings. 2. That the negotiations should be carried on In secret, with all parlies formally bound to withhold Uiforniallon from the prcsa. The conference has held a dozen such meetings but Inlormatlon has al- wava leaked out. 3. That the conference should arrange talks by smaller groups or oy two or more representatives. such aa the meetings now going on between the representatives of Uie two military commands In the In dochina War. ALTERNATIVE This latter alternative was men Honed bv a British spokesman. He said ho waa sure Eden had this In mind when. In hla speech to Uie conference yesterday, he astd Brit ain still was willing to attempt to r e a o J v o East-West differences Here or In restricted session, or by ntty oUier method which our colleagues may prefer." A French spokesman anld the gen eral opinion seemed to be swing ing townrd a return to secret ses sions. In view of the "growing hardening" of tho Communist st tlludo since the scml-publlc ses sions resumed this week. Molotov himself raised the ques tion of direct political talks be tween the names Involved In Indo china, but It waa not clear wheth er he wanted these contacts to take Uie plnco of tho full nine- party meetings, wn lo oiiorts wore oeing mane lo find a suitable procedure for continuing Uie peace talks, Uie feeling was Uiat Eden's speech showed he had more or less given up hope. He said the aiiiercncea oetween tho East and West had become wider and deeper during the past few days, and added: Uncss wo can narrow them now without furUior delay we shall have fulled In our task."
