Even as the appeal was made weather forecasts heralded tht approach of a major storm from the Pacific Ocean of drouth-breaking proportions. A second round of snow, hail and rain peppered the state again today, but not enough to materially affect critical water shortages. The appeal for voluntary power reduction was disclosed by Gov.
Earl Warren. Water Conservation Asked Pacific Gas Electric, the states major power supplier, had notified him, he said, it was appealing to its customers for voluntarl cuts in domestic use of electricity. "This ought to convince everyone of the necessity of conserving every bit of water in California, Warren said. An extended forecast, timed at 10 a. said: A storm now forming off the Washington coast will move southeastward during the next two days, bringing sufficient rain and snow to central and northern California to break the drouth which has prevailed for the past month.
"A strong high pressure system now over Alaska will follow the storm and bring some of the coldest weather of the winter, about Friday and Saturday. Rain Forecast For Tomorrow The extended forecast for central and northern California was: Rain Wednesday and Thursday? moderate to heavy snow in mountains; clearing and much colder Thursday night with frost or freezing temperatures Friday and Saturday; rain probably again Sunday.

Oilmen have appeared at pre-i vious meetings urging the council to erase from the. books what one of them described as an "obsolete ordinance requiring tank trucks not to exceed 600 gallons in capacity. The city had stood pat against changing the ordinance since they had not been convinced that new clipper tank trucks would not perhaps drive the small gasoline operator out of business. They also believed that the "clipper trucks might be unsafe in delivering several loads of gasoline on one run to filling stations inside the city limits.
