California Areas Soaked By Heavy Rain Storms SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-I Heavy rains fell on Northern and Central California today from a "vigorous" storm that battered the coast with gale force winds. Rivers began rising ominously under the continuous downpour and some flooding was reported in low-lying areas, especially in Santa Cruz. Shasta Dam re leased a record flow into the Sacramento River as rain-swollen streams poured into Shasta Lake. Heavy snows fell in the moun tains, adding to the snowpack. The weatherman said a strong widespread flow of moist sub tropical air moving over the West Coast was to blame for the rain fall. He said heavy rain would fall this morning, to be followed this afternoon and tonight by scattered showers. But he warned that more rain is likely Thursday from Salinas and Stockton north Twenty-four hour rainfall totals were high. Point Arena reported 3.81 inches, fort Bragg z.6i, Hamilton Field 2.72 and San ( Francisco Airport 1.74, Sacra ' mento received 1.77 and Fresno .21. Gale warnings flew along the coast norm ol Halt Moon Bay, while small craft warnings were posted from Half Moon Bay to parts of the Southern California coast. , The worst danger area early today was Santa Cruz. The San Lorenzo River, which bisects the town, rose 9 inches over its flood stage of 12 feet and began spill ing into low-lying parts of the city. Some 60 to 80 homes on the east bank of the river were being evacuated as were two trailer courts in the lower end of town. Merchants and residents In some areas began sandbagging their stores and homes and moving goods and furniture to upper glories. Col. R. F. Brown, regional Civil Defense coordinator, asked Fort Ord to send troops with amphibi i ous ducks to help in rescue work, should the waters become more dangerous. At 1:15 a.m., the waters were spilling into the city at Blaine St. between the river and Ocean Ave on the east bank and in the Laurel St. area on the west bank. Bulldozers worked through the night, shoring up the river dikes. Storm sewers backed up at 11 p.m., flooding low-lying streets with up to six inches of water, but as then no stores or homes were flooded. Highway 9. between Santa Cruz and Boulder Creek, was blocked by heavy mud slides and fallen trees near Brookdale Lodge. At Boulder Creek Dam, 12 miles upstream from Santa Cruz, waters swirled more than four feet over the dam, higher than during tho 1955 tlood. However, uffirtsls expected less damage be cause ol precautions taken since then. LIVESTOCK KLAMATH FALLS LIVESTOCK AUCTION MARKET Feb. 18, 1958 Receipts: Cattle 348. Hogs 90. Sheep 18.

Reported by Ray Petersen. county agent. . ij CD officials said they did not expect at this time any repetition of the December, 1955, floods that caused three million dollars worth of damage to downtown Santa Cruz. Flooding was also expected in the lower reaches of the Russian River and in the Eel River in Humboldt County. The Weather Bureau said the Russian River would rise above its flood stage of 29 feet at Guerneville arly this morning to as much asj2 serious flooding was predicted. Rising waters threatened floods in the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta Area. Convicts from the Contra Costa County re habilitation center were busy sandbagging delta levees, es pecially at the northwest area of Bethel Island. Frank's Tract was reported under water. Some flooding was feared in the Rio Vista area along the Sacra mento River. A record of 80.000 cubic feet of water a second was released by midnight from Shasta Lake into the Sacramento River. Heavy rains naa melted the mountain snow pack in Lassen National Park, causing a high runoff into bhasta Lake. Officials said some homes south ot Redding might be flooded as a result of the run-off from the dam. Clear Lake, swollen by large amounts of rain, flooded summer cottages on the loke shore. Six families had to leave their homes Highways 29 and 53 were closed north of Lakeport. Low-lying communities around San Francisco Bay also reported flooding. A combination of rain fall and high tide pushed the bay waters against the Bayshorc f reeway in muinrae. Three to four feet of water lapped at the doorsteps of home in tnc (jrantun Park area of Kentfield in Marin County. In San Francisco, notice closed off the highway running through uoiden Gate Park that connects Park Presidio Blvd. with 19th Ave. Water was three feet deep in some places. A slide 22 miles south of Duns- muir delayed the southbound Shasta Daylight eight hours. The slide cascaded onto the tracks at LaMoine, a railroad point 22 miles souin ol uunsmuir. It broke the air lines under tho engine and first five cars, halting the train auto matically. The 176 passengers were returned to Uunsmmr in the other four cars to wait until the slide could be cleared and the air lines repaired. Highway 101, closed Tuesday by slides south of Garberville, was reopened to one-way traffic. Rabbit Fever Cases Listed SEATTLE W Washington's first confirmed cases of tulare mia, or rabbit fever, since 1955 were reported Wednesday by the State Health Department. I ne department said two Thurs ton County men contracted the di sease while trapping muskrnts in the Ellensburg area last Novem ber, and are still undergoing treatment.

The groups are the Dunsmuir Rod and Gun Club and the Weed Gun Club. Twenty-six of their members joined with the associ ation recently in a weekend study of tags turned in last season in what is believed to be the first study of its kind ever made in California by deer hunters. "We found, said Charles Bull of Redding, association president, "that the buck kill in Siskiyou County last season dropped about 23 per cent from 19,-6. We are now asking the department for the 1956 tags so we can study the kill by areas. 'We have reason to believe the results, which will be available within the next two weeks, will show the buck kill last season in eastern Siskiyou County may have dropped as much as 75 per cent Irom 1956. All three groups have been criti cal of the either-sex hunts which the department wants to continue this year. The department, said Bull "likes to make its comparisons on the basis of the past five seasons. That's not a fair basis, for two reasons. "One is that while shooting of forked horns has been permitted the past two seasons, such shooting has been allowed only three of the past five years. "Seasons in 1956 and 1957 have been the same. But in three of the past five years, the season has been from one to two weeks shorter. Furthermore, the last two seasons have gone into the rutting period when it is easier to kill a buck. The study shows the name and address of each hunter, dale and location of the kill and the number of points on each side of the horn. In Siskiyou County this involved handling of 4,389 tags. In 1956 there were 5,631. The figures are being transferred to special maps and will be shown to the supervisors when the depart ment appears to seek special hunts this year in Siskiyou County. Heart Fund Drive Slated Sunday. February 23. is Heart Sunday, the day on which a neigh bor or a friend will ring the door bell, seeking a contribution to the Oregon Heart Association for its work in the fields of research, pub lie and professional education and community service In reminding local residents of the need for generosity in contri butions, Robert L. Mason, county campaign chairman, stated that such an activity is not possible in many other countries, where the government assumes all research and educational obligations. B u t this is America where the individu al still enjoys the dignity intended (or man and the right to support causes ut his choice. There can be no doubt, no quar rel with the work of the Heart As sociation. Diseases ot the heart are the greatest cause of death in Oregon, and scarcely a family has not lost a relative or a friend to this disease. Oregon Heart Association has budgeted $:!5.220 for research in Oregon this year, most of it at the Universily of Oregon Medical School. Approximately $45,000 more will be allocated to the American Heart Association for the support of research on a national level. Dedicated scientists in Oregon and throughout the nation are work ing around the clock, often at great personal sacrifice, to find the answers to diseases of the heart. Mrs. Vcrn Schortgen is heading the many volunteer workers who will canvass the city on Sunday.

The sight also has a firing mechanism which can be used by the radar operator to loft shells four miles skyward. Comedienne Plans To End HOLLYWOOD W-"When T was born," one of Gracie Allen's gags goes, "I was so surprised I couldn't talk for a year and a half. Yesterday the petite corned! enne, w ho plays the gabby dimwit with her cigar-puffing husband George Burns as straight man, came up with a more serious an nouncement: Alter 37 years in show business, she's quitting. Just to become a full-time housewife, said Gracie. The announcement, effective next May when the last of the current Burns and Allen TV shows will be filmed, means the breakup of one of the most famous husband-wife teams in show busi ness. "No one so richly deserves it, for Gracie has worked all her life," said Burns. He added that Gracie, a 51 year-old grandmother, plans to give all her time to her home and family without the pressures and responsibilities connected with her stage role. Burns said he plans to stay ac tive in show business. His com pany, McCodden Productions, pro duces for TV the Bob Cummings Show and The People's Choice starl ing Jackie Cooper, as well as the Burns and Allen program.

The search was ordered in Es- meraldas and Manabi provinces. near the Colombian border, but there was little hope the men would be found in the densely wooded area. The Galapagos government re ported that the other 75 prisoners on Isnbela Island had been rounded rup ond returned ,to their quarters. The governor said the 121 policemen on the island were not enough to control their charges. The convicts made their escape on a converted sub chaser owned and sailed by William Rhodes Iler very Jr. of Los Angeles, who with his wife, a friend and four crew men was taking supplies to an ob servatory in the islands. Ilervey reported that the con victs loolod his boat but did not harm his party. The yacht headed for Panama to get supplies.

Dodgers Report 750,000 Tickets LOS ANGELES JR The Los Angeles Dodgers report that they've sold 750,000 tickets for the 1958 season. If they're all used, the Dodgers could go the rest of the season without selling another seat and still wind up with a better home attendance record than four other major league teams had in 1957. The Giants, in New York last year, drew 653.903. The Cleveland Indians drew 722,256, the Chicago Cubs 670,629 and the Washington Senators 457,069. Dodger business manager Har old parrott said Tuesday that 7, 250 season tickets have been sold 6,500 for boxes and 750 for re served seats. These represent an investment of about $1,760,000, he said.

Eisenhower last year asked Con gress for just a shade under four billion dollars in Mutual Security funds, as he did Wednesday for the new program. Last year the lawmakers appropriated only $2, 800,000,000. In Wednesday's message the President said the $3,942,100,000 he requested would be used in this way: For military assistance. 51.800. 000.000. He said that part of the aid plan "continues to be the es sential program by which we join with our allies and associated na tions in maintaining well armed forces in NATO, t h e Baghdad Pact, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization and in other key na tions in the Far East and South east Asia. For defense support, 835 million dollars that would go to 12 nations 70 per cent of the total to Ko rea, Nationalist China, Vietnam and Turkey which are supporting substantial military forces. For special assistance, 212 mil lion dollars. Part of the fund would go to "maintain political and eco nomic stability in certain nations where we do not support substan tial military forces for example, Morocco and Libya, where the United States has important Stra tegic Air Command bases.

For an emergency fund, 200 million dollars. For other programs, $106,600. 000. Those include the U.S. con tribution to the United Nations Children's fund, certain refugee programs and the atoms-for-peace program. COfC Group Plans Study A thorough study of the slate- sponsored program whereby coun ty, city, school and other public agency employes could come with in the provisions of the unem ployment compensation act has been recommended by the taxa tion committee of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce. The recommendation The recommendation was pre- j u. , j -c seiueo 10 uie cnamuer ouaru ui directors during its noon meeting Wednesday, February 19. During a Tuesday meeting the taxation committee agreed that without thoroughly studying the potential needs and applications of the program, it cannot be said whether it would be good or bad tor the participating agencies, what the cost would be, or whether the cost of participating in the program would be justitied. It was further recommended that the county court, the city council, and the school districts withhold action on the proposal pending completion of the study. It is anticipated that the survey re sults will be forwarded to the state unemployment commission and to all chambers of commerce in the state. Tho program was recently ex plained to Klamath County offi cials by representatives of the un employment compensation com mission. It was pointed out that the sponsoring agency would stand the full cost of participation on a reimbursable basis, and that no portion of the cost would be borne by the individual employe. Participation in the program is not mandatory, nd is left strictly to tho discretion of the governing bodies of tlm given agencies. Under provisions of the recent ly passed state law. all city and county employes would be cov ered, as well as school district employes. Those unable to qualify for the coverage would be elec tive and appointive employes and school teachers hired on a yearly contractural basis. The employes could qualify for as much as 26 weeks of unem ployment compensation, with the weekly amounts ranging between $15 and $40. depending on the prior earnings of the individual employe.
