Death, Suffering
In Storms Wake
BY UNITED PRESS


Sub-zero weather brought death
and suffering as billiards raked
the midwest and far west today
Meteorologists held little hope of a
letup for several days.
Eleven persons lost their lives
on the west slope of the Rocky
mountains in one frigid wave that
was to be followed tomorrow by
another out of Alaska
simultaneously a frigid blast
sweeping eastward from tn e
Rockies replaced recent M d
weather with the lowest tempera-
lures in three years. The mercury
fell as much as 30 degrees an hour
as the storm famed out into the
Ohio valley.
Through far western states
temperatures ranged from minus
81 in British Columbia to below
freezing in Southern Arizona
Shows covered Washington. Ore
gon and Idaho. closing some high
ways and making all dangerous.
The worst general storm in
years hit Utah. Gripping trans
portation, isolating communities
and leaving at least four dead.
Montana the coolest state. re-
ported one death. Two men died
in British Columbia. Three per
sons died in California and two
visitors were caught in blizzard
on a Grand Canyon trail. One
persisted.
Below zero temperatures ex-
tended from the Dakotss to Okla
homa.

pERSE(UIED WHALE IS NOW GIVEN TRUCE BECAUSE WAR RACES
By REMBERT JAMES AP Feature Service

TRINIDAY, Cal, Nov 24. If you are already war-weary, try to imagine how tired of war the whale must be.
 The whale has been on the los- ing end in a conflict that has been going on for at least thousand years. His foes are men-men who go to sea with harpoon guns and bcmbs.
 It is pretty hard to get any war communiques from the whales side. They have no ministry of in formation and no radio station. However. an unofficial but au- thcritative spokesman has come forward in the person of Charley PleWs.
 Charley is the last whaleman of Trinidad. What he says about whales is taken for gospel by every body in this northern California hamlet that was the last shore whaling station in continental United States.
 He Wants Peace If I know anything about it.
