Thousands Homeless
In Pennsylvania and
Northwestern Floods

Flooding rivers have left thou
sands of persons in extreme
hardship today in Western Wash
ington and Columbia, Pa.
In the Northwest, rampaging
rivers forced an estimated 5000
persons from their homes after
three days of record rains, while
10000 residents of Columbia, Pa,
scrounged for meager supply of
drinking water.
A state Of emergency was de-
clared in both areas.
Gov. Langlie of Washington
ordered five National Guard units
to active duty in Washington after
about 1900 persons were flooded
out of their homes in the State.
In adjoining British Columbia,
another $50 persons were homeless
and at least five persons had died.
The situation in the Northwest
was easing, however, as skies
cleared and temperatures dropped.
The Skagit River in Northwestern
Washington reached its highest
level in many years and forced
1000 persons from their homes
IN the Skagit delta. The Green
River, the Snohomish and the
Cowlitz all went out OF their banks.
In Columbia, Pa, water was
being rationed as a result of an
ice jam in the Susquehanna River.
The jam caused the river to over
now its banks last Friday night
and flood the city waterworks,
several industries and so homes.
With the waterworks out of
commission and the river frozen
solidly from bank to bank, each
person was placed on a drinking
water ration of one quart a day.
The supply was being hauled in
by milk trucks from Lancaster, IL
miles east. All business establish
ments in the city which use drink
ing water have been closed, and
bathing and shaving are dis
couraged.
City officials said WED be
wiped out by a fire."
The water shortage, they added,
is likely to continue indefinitely.
The temperature was thawing
yesterday but 1t failed to bulge
the ice jam.
Residents who could not obtain
supply of drinking water from
the shutting trucks went into
rural areas in search of springs
and wells where they could quench
their thirst.

TOKYO, Feb. IL (P.-Japanese

favorable peace terms outlined for
them by Special Ambassador John
Foster Dulles during his visit
here.

relatively lenient treaty may be

japanese Pact Linked
With Islands Defense,
Dulles Tells FiIipinos
BY the Associated Pres.

MANILA, Feb. 12-John Foster
Dulles said today Japanese peace
treaty is closely linked with any
proposal for defense pact among
the "offshore islands of Asia"
The United States is willing to
listen sympathetically to plans for
a Pacific pact similar to the North
Atlantic treaty, said Mr.. Dulles.
United States Ambassador at
Large, but it has no such proposal
OF its own.
Mr.. Dulles conferred with Presi-
dent Elpidio Quirino of the Phil
ippines on the peace terms he out
lined last week to Japanese
leaders. He refused to comment
on the talk.
A major purpose of Mr.. Dulles
visits is to sell them on the two
most controversial points of the
proposed peace treaty-Japan'
role in the collective security ar
fangement and authorization for
the Japanese to decide for them
selves what occupation reforms
they want to keep.
Mr.. Dulles said the United States
hopes to settle the terms of the
treaty without any formal con-
Ference except for the signing.
He labeled premature a press
conference question on whether
sIanan would f,1rpicb ,,ooono,,ox
and materials if included in a
Pacific defense pact against COM
munism.
japanese Force Implied.
In Tokyo, Mr.. Dulles had made
1t plain the United States does
not expect Japan to be a passive
bysuander in Pacific defense plans.
Tokyo statements by both Mr..
Dulles and the Japanese govern
ment showed agreement that
american power would guarantee
Japan defense in the period i'm
mediately following the treaty.
But the implication was that the
Japanese eventually would have
70 raise some defensive force.
Mr.. Dulles told his Manila press
conference he still hopes the
Soviet Union will sign the Jap
anese peace treaty. He added:
i see no reason why Russia
could not join If they mean all
those declarations about wanting
peace"
