Cancel Schedule Follow
ing Bad Accident

Boston, January 10. - (UP) -
Freezing rain coated New England
highways with treacherous layers OF
Ice today forcing numerous bus COM
panies to cancel their schedules.
With the exception OF sanding
trucks, motor traffic almost disap-
peared from the roads and the
weather bureaus forecast gave no
hint Of relief. It said the freezing
rain and snow squalls, accompanied
by increasingly strong winds, would
last into the night.
Already one person had been
killed In a skidding accident and
IL persons were shaken when an
eastern Massachusetts street railway
bus slipped from the icy road into
the Neponet river marshes In Milton.
No one was hurt In that accident.
The first victim Of the ice was
Winfield E. Cakes, SIS, of Concord
N. H., Boston and Maine Railroad
employee, who was killed when
struck by a skidding automobile.
The lack Of traffic kept such acct
dents to minimum, however.
Local bus lines were operating -
though far behind schedule - but
through trips to New York, Chicago
and Portland, Me-, were cancelled
at 10 p. m. Conditions were re-
ported to be particularly bad be-
tween Portland and Portsmouth,
N. H.
All available sanding trucks were
pressed into use for the second
severe ice storm of the winter. AS
in the previous storm, they were
handicapped by the fact that the
rain would wash the sand away be-
fore freezing.
