Sacramento, Calf, March o.

fighting to keep the swollen waters
from the Feather river from break
ing through levee protecting the
town.
Reports last night that the levec
had broken, isolating the town and
sending flood down the wide val
ley toward Sacramento, caused some
alarm over the countryside before it
was determined that the water had
not raced out Of bounds.
Reinforcements were being ap-
piled to the levee in the hope that
the threatened overflow could be
stemmed. A section of a 1000 foot
approach to a bridge across the
river there was swept away by the
water.
Elsewhere in California most of
the swollen streams which have
harassed scores of communities
since Sunday were returning to
normal levels.
