Spring came to California in belting, pounding, soaking storms. They swept out of the icy land mass of Siberia, gathered fury and moisture over the Pacific, homed east and southeast along the jet stream, roared in around Marin County's Mt. Tamalpais in 100-m.p.h. gusts. In the first 3½ days of April, San Francisco got 3.96 in. of rain. Normal rainfall for all of April: 1.49 in. Rain cascaded down the city's spectacular slopes, spilled knee-deep into downtown streets. On residential Mt. Sutro a strange sea of mud 100 ft. long...

Last week, under a bill passed by the French Senate, A.F.P. set up its first autonomous board of directors, controlled by French newspaper editors. To help increase revenues to compensate for discontinued government subsidies, which in 1956 totaled 50% of the agency's $8,600,000 budget, France's 146 dailies will be charged up to 30% more for A.F.P. service...
