Yuba City Still In Critical Area
SAN FRANCISCO (U.P.)—Mud- smeared levee workers sloshed across the spongy top of the repaired dike at Yuba City today in belief they had saved the city from a second inundation by the Feather River.
Yuba City, however, still remained the critical situation in the northern California flood disaster area.
All the coastal streams that had gone over their banks and driven thousands from their homes over the week end were reported falling today. The crisis passed when the 48-hour storm that began last Friday came to an end yesterday afternoon.
For a time, the storm had threatened to duplicate the Christmas week disaster when floods resulted in 75 deaths and more than $175-$00,000 property damage. Although the storm had passed, constant vigilance had to be maintained at Yuba City.
Almost A Repetition
At 6 a.m. this morning, the river stood at 67.1 feet—a danger point—but the river was falling above Yuba City and the waters were rising at the rate of only a tenth of a foot an hour at the city proper.
The levee at Shanghai Bend is 71 feet high, and the city levee commission did not believe the water now would go over the top.
Can Levee Hold?
The greatest danger, however, was whether the levee would continue to hold. Since the Christmas break, construction crews and heavy equipment have been used in the three-week struggle to restore the city's defenses. This work, however, was untested, unpacked and spongy. There always was the chance that the river could come boiling in from the bottom.

Chessman Tries Again For Death Reprieve
SAN FRANCISCO (U.P.)—Convict-author Caryl Chessman appears in Federal District Court today in a new bid to cheat death in the San Quentin prison gas chamber.
Chessman, through his attorneys, will ask Federal Judge Louis E. Goodman—whom he has previously accused of bias and prejudice—to grant him a writ of habeas corpus,
If he is successful, Chessman will not go immediately free however.
The state may appeal the decision to a higher court, or it may rearrest Chessman and try him again on some of the original 17 charges of kidnapping, robbery, sex perversion, attempted rape and grand theft.
Bulganin Offers Russian Aid To Latin American Countries
MOSCOW—(U.P.)-Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulgarin said today the Soviet Union is ready to extend technical aid to Latin American countries if such aid is needed.
Premier Bulganin also said Russia is prepared to establish diplomatic relations with all Latin American countries with which it now has no such relations.
Premier Bulganin stated these views in reply to questions submitted by the editor of the Latin American Magazine Vision.
Premier Bulganin said the Soviet Union will not interfere in the internal affairs of any other country and expects other countries not to interfere in affairs of the Soviet Union.
The premier offered technical aid and the use of specialists to Latin American countries if they are interested. He also said the Soviet Union desires to increase trade with Latin America in the interest of both sides—Russia and the Latin countries.
The Soviet Union can export industrial goods, automobiles, agricultural machinery, completely equipped factories and machine tools in return for agricultural products, minerals and pedigreed livestock and cattle for breeding, Premier Bulgain said.
No progress has been made on a proposed 120-unit housing development for married students. University officials hope construction work can be started in the spring.
His statement was released at a foreign ministry news conference by press chief Leonid Ilychev.

it work can be started by spring, the development should be ready for use in September 1957, Mr. Wilson said.
