The weatherman said the storm would taper off to showers Wed nesday.. Meanwhile, a huge slide closed U. S. 101 south of Garberville near the Humboldt Mendocino County line. The slide wiped out a 200-foot section of the highway a half-mile north of another slide that had blocked the highway since last Thursday. However, up to Monday high way engineers had permitted one way traffic through the slide area in the daytime. The latest slide closed the highway "indefinitely" according to state highway en gineers. The Coast Guard Cutter Avoyel stood by a tug and tanker in heavy seas off the Humboldt County coast, prepared to place lood, water and butane gas aboard the tug sometime this morning. The tug Tillamook left Portland Feb. 5 with the tanker Mission Santa Ana for San Francisco, the Coast Guard said, but ran into heavy seas and strong winds thai prevented it from making any progress. As a result, the tug ran low on supplies. Seventeen men were aboard the tug and seven were aboard the tanker. The Const Guard in San Fran cisco said no one was in any danger. In San Francisco, tons of rain loosened rock fell during the weekend from Ihe northeast slope of Telegraph Hill, endangering a meal distributing plant at the base of the hill. Some of the debris fell from an apartment garden, leaving the building only 15 feet from the edge of Ihe cliff. Dr. Roland P.

End To Gas 'War' Sought EUGENE W Gasoline dealers; from five Willamette Valley cities voted here Monday night to take immediate steps to bring a gaso line price war to an end. Some 45 service station opera tors from Eugene. Springfield. Albany, Junction City and Corval lis attended a meeting here to dis cuss the effects of price cutting. Charles Goforth, Portland, presi dent of the Oregon Gasoline Deal ers Assn., told the operators that a "majority of the oil companies and their stations are expected to co-operate" in settling the price war which has resulted in gaso line reductions of up to 12 cents per gallon. Retailers indicated their profit margins are down as much as 50 per cent, even with subsidization by wholesalers. Goforth recommended a "price clearing" plan which he said was used successfully last fall by some 1,500 Portland stations. Retail dealers will be requested by their local associations to sign a pledge agreeing to removal of all large gasoline price signs and to adjust pump prices to a normal profit above tank-wagon prices. The pledge requires the retailers to hold the adjusted prices for 41) hours to give the association time lo contact "stragglers."
