Woman dies in 1ar crash LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) With an influx of up to 3 million tourists expected to see Mount St. Helens this summer, local officials already are starting to worry about traffic congestion on the road leading up the Toutle River Valley, "If we get anywhere near the volume of people anticipated, we are going to have problems," said Cowlitz County Sheriff Les Nelson.

He predicted that those people who prey on tourists will Join the hordes, increasing crime. And, he expects fights to break out ar tempers get short in long lines leading to bridges and rest rooms. "Law enforcement is anticipating one tough summer. It Is the first time I've prayed for rain," Nelson said. Martin Carty, director of the Cowlitx County Department of Community Development, expressed concern about the potential for "major accidents" as logging and tourist traffic mix.

State Patrol Sgt. C.W. Elder of Kelso said, "That road Is not designed for the type of things that will happen this summer." But as Carty, Nelson and Elder fret, -the state agency that maintains the road doesn't expect traffic to be any worse than last summer. Officials of the Washington state Department of Transportation say they expect 3,200 vehicle trips per day on the highway, the same as the summer of 1980 but 40 percent more than 1979. Even if those estimates are low, as several state and local officials believe, the road still can handle up to 1,000 cars an hour east of the Toledo cutoff where state Highw? 505 joins Spirit Lake Highway, ild Dave Peach, transportation-planning engineer for the department.

Even the one-lane Bailey bridge east of Toutle, where police predict heavy congestion, can handle 800 cars an hour, or 13.3 a minute, Peach said. Nevertheless, vehicles entering and leaving the road at viewpoints, souvenir stands and visitor centers will slow traffic, and may cause jams, Peach warned. To limit traffic blockages, the department has built several turnoffs to reduce the amount of traffic stopping on shoulders. Beyond the reach of tourists, $10 million to $11 million will be spent by the department to rebuild the highway from Maple Flats to Weyerhaeuser' Camp Baker. "We got to a flattened-cut area and unroped," Coughlln, a climber for 20 years, said.

"I lost my footing and fell to Eliot Glacier." Coughlln said Petterson gave him some pain-killing drugs, and the three men spent Saturday night on the mountain. He was released from St. Elizabeth Hospital in Baker after spending Sunday and Monday nights there.
