Outlook Girl Freezes Limbs
When Car Stalls On
Road

Sheridan county today shivered in
the grip of a waning cold wave which
swept this section on the wings Of a
raging blizzard Wednesday morning.
The mercury went skidding down to
a new low lever tor the year and re-
suited in a number of accidents on
highways caused by cars swerving on
the icy roads.
Elizabeth Young, Of Outlook, is in
the hospital here suffering from frost
bites inflicted after walking about 2
miles in the raging wind with the
thermometer at 20 below zero We'd
nesday, when the car in which she
was a passenger became stalled be-
tween Raymond and Plentywood.
Miss Young and Edward Reuter-
were enroute from Outlook when the
car became stalled. Unable to dig the
car out of a snow bank and fearing
added exposure they struck out for a
farm house. Upon reaching the farm
house it was found hat Miss Young's
legs were badly frozen and Mr.. Reu-
ter suffered a frozen foot. They
were later brought to Plentywood and
Miss Young was taken to the hospital
here for medical attention.
Cars Smash-up
Highways throughout this section
are coated with ice. Plentywood's
Main street is as slick as an ice pond.
Automobile travel is dangerous.
At least sever car wrecks caused
from slippery roads occurred over the
week end and holidays. Saturday
night the car owned by County at
torney Vernon Hoven was damaged
neal Medicine Lake, his brother Cor
don at the wheel. The car slid on the
ice and smashed into a pole.
A Hamm's beer truck driven by
Frank French of Medicine Lake lay
in the ditch just east Of Plentywood-
the slick surfaced road caused the
mishap.
Five people miraculously escaped
injury Sunday night about a mile
northeast OF Pentywood on the Blue
trail when a car in which they were
passengers slid on the ice, hit a rut
and turned over. Occupants of the
car were j. Franc Murray, Frances
Murray, Mary Rita Hovland, Mrs.
Franc Murray and Jack McNulty. The
car was travelling slowly when the
mishap occurred and undoubtedly
saved the occupants from injury. The
top of the car was badly damaged
when it rolled over.
A collision occurred at an intersec-
ton near the court house in Plenty
wood between cars driven by DR.. ].
c. Storkan and Mrs. Simon Swanson.
Both cars were damaged. The icy
streets apparently made it difficult to
stop the cars.
Numerous minor clashes have been
reported.
Drifting snow blocked roads tenn
porarily. Roads are now open in most
parts of the county.

Undaunted, confident, and deter

than against the Wolves.
Taking advantage of the tip-off the
Wildcats unloosed the full power to
gain over the Maroons a margin of IL
points in the first half.
The third quarter was Crosby's in
which they accounted for nine points

Report of Divided Sentiment Revives Hopes for Acting
 P. M-Friends Concentrating on Congressman

Last minute supporters of Act ing Postmaster James T. Kelley to keep the appointment for the post from going to Commissioner Charles M. Babin, took a new im- petus today with the report, still unconfirmed, that two or more members of the Democratic town committee would like q chance to vote on whether that groups off, ciaI endorsement should have gone to MT. Babin. It Is understood that the members may ask for a recon sideration of the endorsement giv- en MT. Babin and will seek mean while to have the actual appoint ment held up at Washington un- til the town committee has been pollled individually on its selec- tion.
 Babin FavOrite
 At Washington, it is momentar- fly expected that Mir. Babin's name will be announced as the next postmaster for Waterbury, since the acting postmaster's rival for the post has the endorsement of the town committee. It was re- ported last week that Senators Augustine Lonergan and Francis T. Maloney had agreed to follow the town committees recommen- dation and had asked Postmaster General James A.. Farley to sub init MT. Babin's name to the pres- ident for presentation to the sen ate.
 With the news last week that the two senators were supporting Commissioner Babin, hackers of Postmaster Kelley began anew de- termined efforts to have the post al veteran given the permanent ap- pointment. Scores of letters and

SHARP WARNING
 SENT CHISLERS

Washington, March 27--tUP)- Increasing nationwide failure of business firms to obey MIRA man. dates appeared today to have pro- voked President Roosevelt,s sharp warning to chiselers that they had mo excuse whatsoever" for fall ure to support codes. A survey of enforcement in the 48 states, the United Press learned, revealed that while complaint totals were not mounting rapidly, there was every where increasing difficulty of ad- justment" where labor provisions had been violated.
 The situation had grown steadily worse since the senate investiga- tion of MIRA began about a month ago, one MIRA official said. Officials believe that if congress extends the recovery act the regional ad- ministration will again be able to secure through adherence to codes. Meanwhile. the NRA enforcement agencies were prepared to exert full power," as requested by the president in a letter to Chairman Donald R. Richards, to obtain code compliance in, all indutries subject to the blue eagle.

 During the past day or two, the letters and wires have directed to Congressman J. Joseph Smith as it has been known, report that the Waterbury postmastership ap- pointmcnt is in his hands.
