Over 450 arrests were made, many for violating the 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Sheriff Bobby Jones, Dade-County's top law enforcement officer, said Sunday night's curfew apparently had an effect. "I feel slightly optimistic that the worst of the violence is over," he said, adding quickly: "We're not out of the woods yet." "Personal violence is down. The looting and fires are up," Miami Police Chief Kenneth Harms said late Sunday. Police spokesman Angelo Bitsis said later, however, "It could start up again. We'll see what happens." All schools were closed Monday, bus omnia Dusting expected Only a light dusting of volcanic ash was expected over the Black Hills Monday afternoon.

Weathermen expected most of the ash to remain aloft and said most of the deposits had fallen out over Washington, Idaho, Montana and western Wyoming. ween 2,500 and 3,000 persons have been evacuated. The explosion early Sunday knocked 1,300 feet off the top of the once pristine and snow-covered peak, which until March had been quiet since 1857.

(AP) Abrasive volcanic ash coughed up by Mount St. Helens drifted over three states Monday following a volcanic eruption that killed at least five people, left 21 missing, and forced thousands to flee a mile-wide wall of steaming mud.

The ash which prompted health warnings fell half an inch deep on the ground up to 500 miles away following Sunday's convulsion that turned day into night in much of eastern Washington, Idaho and western Montana. A plume of steam and ash was still billowing 14,000 feet high from a crater a half-mile wide Monday, but there were no sightings of the gas fuming rivers of mud and gas which roared down the flanks of the peak earlier. There were no sightings of lava flows during the eruption. Both the Cowlitz and Toutle rivers were dropping after being swollen Sunday by the mudf lows. "It's still perking, but it is not as violent," said Sam Frear, a spokesman for the Forest Service said.

"We hope we've seen the worst." Rescue helicopters planned to take to the air to search for the 21 people still missing. The Red Cross estimates bet- Those who saw eruption couldn't believe their eyes CASTLE ROCK. Wash. (AP) "I could not believe the mudslides hot, steaming mud carrying trees, logging equipment and parts of houses," said Pam Siddens, a camper who was whisked to safety by helicopter after Mount St. Helens erupted with a blast felt 200 miles away.

Logger Joe Sullivan said the mountain "just moved sideways and the whole thing went up," when it erupted Sunday at 8:39 a.m. PDT. "It scared the hell out of me." Many people, campers and the curious, had narrow, harrowinr escapes down the mountainside. Ar I thousands of others, near the volcano and miles away, suddenly were shrouded in eerie darkness and thick ash. "I was knocked out of bed by the explosion.

It's just boiling going way up in the air," said Ann Katzer, owner of a general store in Toutle, about 35 miles northwest of Mount St. Helens. Toutle's residents were evacuated. "The devastation on the mountainside is incredible," said Air Force Lt. D.E.

Schroeder. "Trees are knocked down, animals are standing around in shock, covered with ash." Twenty miles northeast of the mountain in Randle, ham radio operator James Lanterman said, "The air is so full of smoke and pumice stone that a person would not live outside. I was thinking of evacuating but I didn't think I could make it, so I'm staying inside." "What we saw, we probably will never see again," said Ms. Siddens, 29, her black hair flecked with gray ash after she reached Castle Rock, 35 miles west of Mount St. Helens.

She and Terry Clayton, 41, both of Seattle, had camped Saturday on the shore of Riff Lake, 20 miles north of the volcano. They were awakened Sunday by lightning striking the ground and a towering column of black smoke and ash. They began trying to drive back to the main highway, crossing several bridges covered by water and flowing mud, but abandoned their car when they spotted a Coast Guard helicopter. The aerial view was astounding, they said. and houses and snapped concrete-and-steel bridges like toothpicks.

Besides the five people killed, at least 21 persons were missing on the sides of the mountain including crusty, 84-year-old resort operator Harry Truman, who had long refused to leave. Officials late Sunday reported eight killed, but said Monday that three people had been counted twice. The victims apparently were caught in the flooding or by the heated mudslides as glaciers on the mountain melted, authorities said. A helicopter crew saw two of the bodies trapped in a car about 15 miles from the volcano, said Air Force Reserve Capt. Robert J.

Wead. "These people were fried with the heat," Wead said. "Trees and all the veguiauun weio miu uui imi aingeu, burned, steaming, sizzling a terrible looking thing." Bob Christiansen of the U.S. Geological Survey said a shock wave from the eruption devastated a miles-wide swath for 15 miles on the mountain's north side. He said not a tree stump was left.

At midmorning, windows were broken and about 150 prisoners at the Dade Correctional Institution refused to work, officials said. No injuries were reported, and Dennis Ross, the top aide to the governor, said the situation was under control.

Bob Graham begged residents Race riots continued on page 2 MIAMI (AP) Snipers roamed, fires burned and looters went unchallenged in Miami early Monday, as two nights of racial rioting left at least 15 dead.

Authorities said the violence was abating as the morning wore on but could rekindle at any time. The rioting sparked by the acquittal of four ex-policemen in the fatal beating of a black man was the worst in terms of fatalities in a U.S. city since July 1967 when Newark and Detroit exploded during what became known as the "long hot summer" of racial turmoil. The dead included eight blacks and six whites killed in the often grisly violence, and a policeman stricken by a jheart attack. More than 371 people were 1 A 1.
