desirability of placing the entire commission staff under the merit system and investigate “such other matters relating to the PSC, its operation and the statutes on uiltiy regulation as may in the judgemen of the committee be necessary."

Washington Flood Waters Receding United Press International Washington State’s worst flood in 27 years receded toward the riverbanks today but officials predicted lowland homes would stay beneath water for at least two or three days. As the waters crept away from hard-hit towns, residents moved back into their homes to begin the tedious mop-up job. Officials reported the Green River down two feet and the Snoqualmie and the Snohomish down a little over a foot But east-west travel across the state was still blocked by alides in mountain passes and by the rampaging flood waters, which flooded hundreds of valleys and drove 1,100 persons from their homes. The Weather Bureau predicted a few light showers in the mountain areas of Washington today, but officials said the rains probably wouldn't add to the 1 flood problem. San Francisco reported its third straight day of record-breaking or record-equalling heat. The tempeature shot up to 74 Tuesday, snapping the old mark of 72 set in 1949. The weatherman predicted little relief from the heat waveA wave of chilly Canadian air swept over the central states this morning, dropping tertiperatures I into the 20s from the Great Lakes through lowa into the Dakotas 'and sending the mercury plunging to zero in parts of northern Minjnesota. The cold air stretched across I the Appalachians into the western Atlantic states and was expected to reach the ocean today. Light snow sprinkled the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, the Dakotas and Mcutana, while a half inch of rain fell on Florida and New England and light rain dampened the Atlantic coast and Pacific Northwest. Snow flurries were forecast from the Great Lakes through New England and from the Da-, kotas into eastern Montana. A| band of light rain will fall along the southern edge of the snow areas.
