resort city's history to at least 20.
Snipers and looters continued to stalk
the debris-littered streets, taking pot-
shots at lawmen, ransacking stores and
setting scattered fires that cast an
acrid pall over parts of Miami. A 12-
year-old girl was critically wounded by
sniper fire earlier in the day.

Guardsmen, 326 state police and local

MOUNT ST. HELENS MAKES its presence known about 130 miles east of
Sunday's eruption in the eastern Washington desert, where the sky quickly
turns dark over Richland and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
Volcano erupts again
leaving kzyer of grit
throughout
From UPI and AP
TOUTLE, Wash. - Motpt St. Helens
erupted again yesterday sending an
ash-filled plume a mile above its
sheared-off summit, leaving towns in
the northern United States layered with
grit that choked residents, con-
taminated drinking water and forced
closure of businesses and schools.
Two dozen military helicopters sear-
ched for more survivors of Sunday's
violent explosion that devastated the
north slope of the once-majestic
volcano.
FIVE WERE known dead, and there
were unconfirmed reports of three
more victims. At least 20 people still
were missing. Officials said nine sur-
vivors have been either rescued or
located.
The governors of Montana and Idaho
yesterday declared emergencies
because of the gritty deposita of ash
p dropped on their states from the erup-
ting volcano.
The small eruption yesterday at 1:43
northwest
p.m. sent plumes of steam and ash to
about 16,000 feet. U.S. Geological Sur-
vey geologist Dwight Crandell said
such activity is relatively minor and
"we can expect this to go on for a period
of years."
SCIENTISTS evaluating the blast
said the Sunday eruption, which tore
1,300 feet off the summit of the moun
tain, was the most serious of its kind in
the volcano's 37,000-year history.
"This is unprecedented for Mount St.
Helens," said Crandell.
Crandell described it as a lateral and
vertical eruption that blew out both the
side and the top of the mountain.
"WE DON'T anticipate another
lateral blast," he said. "It was oh-
viously of hurricane force. Five or si
miles away, it snapped off or uprooted
trees."
For the first time, scientists were
predicting lava would flow from the re
awakened volcano, although theydon
expect the flow to extnd beyond the
