Mt. St. Helens may blow again
United Press International
VANCOUVER, Wash. — A new
lava dome forming in Mt. St. Helens
may be acting as a plug, but scientists
say the volcano could erupt again at
any time.
The new lava dome, third and
largest to appear in the mountain s
mile-wide crater since the initial
May 18 eruption, had grown to 155
feet high and 900 feet wide by Sun
day — more than double its size
when first spotted Saturday.
Forest Service spotter pilots said
the rate of growth appeared to be
slowing some Sunday night and re
ported a decrease in emissions from
the peak, indicating the lava dome
may be acting like a plug.
“It is still in an eruptive stage,”
Steve Walter of the University of
Washington’s seismic monitoring
laboratory said. “It could go again at
any time.”
Susan Russell-Robinson, a U.S.
Geological Survey scientist, said the
appearance and growth of the new
dome stemmed from the last of four
eruptions that began Thursday night
and ended with a triple blast Satur
day. She said some molten lava is still
coming out of the volcano’s main
channel.
Scientists believe the cracks now
widening on the surface of the lava
dome are caused by atmospheric
cooling of molten rock from the vol
cano’s interior.
Russell-Robinson said the new
dome could grow very large or blow
out as the other two have.
Scientists consider the four out
bursts to be part of the same “erup
tive phase,” the fifth since the volca
no’s initial May eruption that left 63
people dead or missing.
Previous eruptive phases have en
ded with deep tremors rumbling be
low the volcano. Seismologists noted
only a slight rumbling of shallow sur
face quakes this time.
The latest series of eruptions has
been the longest and probably the
least forceful since the mountain en
ded a 123-year dormancy this spring.
The multiple eruptions sent ash
clouds up to 9 miles in the sky and
dropped a thin layer of grit on cities
as far away as Portland, Ore.

Rivals accused of bombing
United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — Presi
dent Ferdinand E. Marcos Monday
blamed U.S.-based Filippino dissi
dents for a bombing that disrupted a
convention of American travel
agents and injured 20 people, in
cluding seven Americans.
Several of those accused are for
mer Philippines presidential candi
dates.
Joseph Stone, president of the
American Society of Travel Agents,
said the executive committee de
cided to scrap all public functions
and trade shows, and hold the work
ing sessions indoors after Sunday s
explosion.
Monday’s sessions were held be
hind guarded and closed doors but
about 100 delegates packed their
bags to return to the United States
and more were expected to follow.
ASTA sources said 500 others
were prepared to leave within the
next several days and from 1,500 to
2,000 had advanced departure dates.
“We re leaving,” said Victor Mes-
ton, 35, of El Paso, a delegate to the
convention. “I’m not scared of the
bomb, but I’m a businessman and
there’s no business here.”
William Waltrip, representing
Pan American Airways at ASTA’s
50th anniversary convention, said
bluntly: “It (the convention) is can-
