Worst Storm -

thon in the Southwest Texas moun-
tain country was isolated most of
Thursday but service was restored
during the night.
Latest forecasts called for occa-
sional freezing rain or snow to con-
tinue through Saturday in most of
East and South Central Texas. The
forecasts indicated West Texas and
North Central Texas would get a
respite from the storm Saturday.
Bitter sub-zero cold predicted for
early Friday in the Texas Panhan-
dle did not materialize. Near-zero
temperatures were forecast for the
Panhandle and the El Paso area
again early Saturday.
Panhandle temperatures fell to
15 at Amarillo. A freeze forecast
for part of the semi-tropical lower
Rio Grande Valley also did not
materialize. Texas’ low tempera-
ture Friday morning was 11 at
Alpine.
Snow began falling heavily again
Friday in the Panhandle and
Plains. Roads between Plainview
and Lubbock which stayed open
Thursday were closed Friday as
the snow, blown by winds up to
20 miles an hour, piled up into
drifts on traffic lanes.
The value of the West Texas
moisture to farmers was cut by the
scoured
15. Impolite to call them NAMES
(this implying rude ones). People
who call women DAMES do so
from habit rather than from con-
scious impoliteness.
17. GERMANS is more apt The
GERMANS themselves fou^Ht for
years, but when the fightintfTeach-
ed German soil, GERMANY was
subdued in a very short time.
19. WIT might help to increase
his popularity. A HIT definitely
makes him popular. There U no
“might help” about it.
22. Always likely to REFUSE it,
yes. REFUSING it at first sight
means they REFUSE to accept it
at first sight which is logical until
they study it perhaps. But “quite
likely” is an overstatement for
REFUTE, since in very many cas-
es it will be found impossible to
REFUTE the theory.
CLUES DOWN:
1. A DREARY guest might well
aggravate a sincere host but the
fact that the guest was DREAMY
might just be a compliment to the
excellent meal the host had pro-
vided.
2. A clerk often locks up his own
BACK door each night through
force of habit but to lock up the
BANK door each night is much
more a compulsory duty than a
habit.
5. The proviso “if reckless” fav-
ors GAMBLES, since a habitual
GAMBLER is frowned on by most
people anyway. Most people ree
little harm in a mild flutter, but
disapprove of reckless GAMBLES.
6. LEARN is best. If you merely
YEARN to do so, you’re probably
not the studious type — otherwise
you’d probably go ahead and
LEARN.
12. True of PAIN in any and ev-
ery case. In many cases, indoor
pursuits form quite an important
part of a holiday, which then is not
always completely spoilt if it

14. Their MURALS, which are
there for all to see, yes; but it is

"will help plants hold out against
the freeze.”
Trans-Texas Airways cancelled
flights from Dallas to Beaumont,
Houston and San Antonio because
of icing conditions and low ceilings.
Delta reported most flights using
two-engined planes were cancelled
but said four-engined flights were
going through.
Lubbock's cwy bus system sus-
pended operations at noon because
buses kept stalling against curbs.
The Plains city kept its schools
open but 7,072 of the city’s 19,439
pupils were absent. Supt. Nat Wil-
liams invited parents to come get
their children if they wished.
The Lubbock district highway de-
partment office said every piece
of heavy equipment was in use
keeping roads open but that the
north wind was drifting east-west
lanes shut almost as fast as they
were opened.
Lone Star Gas Co. said consump-
tion in its system at 450 Texas
and Oklahoma towns set a record
in the 24-hour period ending at 7
a.m. Friday. Consumers used
1.288.600.000 cubic feet, breaking a
1.218.900.000 cubic feet record set
last Jan. 19.
At Paris, manager V. A. Rogers
of the Lamar County Co-op, said
rural power lines were down
around Clarksville and several
hundred customers were without
service. All schools in the Paris
area, including the junior college,
were closed.
El Paso reported the worst traf-
fic jams in the city's history.
Schools there were closed for the
second day.
The extreme West Texas snow
extended from El Paso eastward
to Marathon in Brewster County.
At Marfa, rancher Clyde McFar-
land said "This will save the coun-
try.”
On one farm road north of Aber-
nathy, the highway patrol allowed
only one-way traffic, letting mo-
torists en route Qne direction have
the single lane for a while and then
switching directions.
Heavy calls for help from the
Salvation Army for clothing and
bedding was reported at Lubbock.
con-
ference he had never suggested
“any relaxation at all in respect
to any goods . . . which don’t
go now to Soviet Russia.”
What he has suggested, Eden
said, “is a step-by-step arrange-
pient” which would bring West-
ern nations administers these con-
trols from Paris.
The controls prohibit shipment
of any war-potential goods.
Eden defended Britain’s diplo-
matic relations with Red China—
which the United States does not
recognize. He said this diploma’ic
tie is “not without value” in dif-
ficult negotiations now going on
with the Reds. He did not specify
what negotiations he referred to,
but presumably he had in mind
the U.S.-Red China ambassadorial
talks at Geneva.
Eden spoke by radio last night.

Engineer Charges
Roof Fell on Him
HOUSTON UTI—Richard Salazar,
30, a civil engineer, took his wife
to the Park Place Clinic here for
treatment Oct. 18.
Salazar then left the clinic, clos-
ing the door behind him. At that
moment the roof fell in on him.
That’s the allegation Salazar
made today in a damage suit filed
in the district clerk’s office asking
$165,000 for injuries he claims he
received from the incident.
Salazar named as defendants
Drs. John Ruiz and Fred Haufrect,
operators of the clinic. Salazar said
he received a fractured spine, bro-
ken ribs and other injuries that
put him in a hospital five weeks.
The roof that fell on him, he
averred, was the porched roof of
the hospital, a concrete and ma-
sonry porch covering. Ruiz said
he remembered the accident but
declined further comment.

Burnett Roberts suggested a “T-

clean of snow by the wind. The
snow was pilled into roadside drifts
which meant much waste by run-
off when the thaw comes.
Ice on a 69,000-volt power line
caused a power failure Thursday
in north and south Austin and part
of the capital city’s downtown area.
Seven inches of snow lay on the
ground at El Paso and Salt Flat
and more was falling.
Mammoth traffic jams developed
on North Texas highways where
sleet and ice made inclines slick.
More than 75 trucks were reported
stalled on Highway 81 south of
West. Grades, bridges and inter-
sections were being sanded by the
Highway Patrol.
The Abilene district office of the
Highway Department said it ex-
pected to spread 20 tons of salt on
roads in its 13 counties, stretching
from Howard County east to East-

Freezing rain and ice was re-
ported south to Palacios.
A survey by the Amarillo Globe-

for bone-dry crops and pasture

snowfalls ranging from 2 to 8
inches.

Girlstown USA.
oOo
The miracle of Girlstown is that
these girls who come there as mis-
fits, quickly begin to fit into the
pattern of other well-adjusted com-
munity youngsters.
You see them in the classroom
at school and you can’t tell them
from the other youngsters. This al-
most unbelievable change is the
gratifying thing about Girlstown,
the one thing people are likely tc
overlook when the hearings con-
cerning Girlstown get underway,
our informant says.
He feels it shouldn’t be forgotten.
He says, too, that he isn’t talking
about Miss Anthony’s personality
or defending her on her methods.
All he’s talking about is the girls.
