Snow Blankets Most

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A blanket of snow, ranging in
depth from 3 to IL inches, covered
the Midwest today in the Lower
Lakes region and the Upper Missis-
sippi Valley, where the heavy fall
SO hampered driving that 18 persons
lost their lives in traffic accidents
Although in Lower Michigan 1t
was still showing, the storm had
abated in most of the area and
only scattered f1urries continued
Weather Bureau predictions for to-
day anticipated only light snow in
some sections and temperatures
from freezing to about 20 degrees.
With slush and snow freezing and
ice covering city streets and high
ways, traffic conditions grew more
hazardous. Automobile clubs warned
motorists to drive slowly and to avoid
country driving. Meanwhile, airline
schedules were Cancelled in most
parts of the affected area.
The first heavy snow storm of
the season moved from Colorado
Kansas and Nebraska, States which
averaged 3 inches, into Missouri,
Iowa and Illinois where the fall
was heavier and ranged up to II
inches. Reaching Missouri Satur-
day night, the snow moved into
Wisconsin. Indiana, Lower Michigan
and Northern Ohio by Sunday aft
ernoon.
The wet snow and ice made high
ways extremely dangerous for mo-
torists. Skidding accounted for the
majority of accidents that took a
high toll of lives.

COP Senators Favor
Starting Work Now
On Election Drive
BY the Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
Republican leaders in the Senate
are convinced they must lay the
groundwork now for the 1916 con-
gressional elections, and that a per-
manent party organization should
be established not only for the 1916
campaign, but also in anticipation
of the 1948 presidential election.
COP Senators point out that Or
ganization at the last minute does
not augur success and that per-
manent staff should be functioning
continuously.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
minority whip, said the feeling
among Republican Senators is that
the party must get to work at once
| to organize for the congressional
elections two years hence, and for
the election in 1948
chairman of the national committee,
elected on four-year basis" he de-
clared. I'VE can't win campaign
by having new man come, in and
have to build up an organization
after the presidential candidate is
nominated. We ought to have a
smoothly working organization 60
| ing at full blast all the time"
In separate interviews, Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, chairman
of the minority conference; Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts,, a member
of the national committee, and Sen
ator Brewster of Maine expressed
similar opinions.
Senator Vandenberg said he
thought it essential for the Repub-
licans to have a full-time staff. Sen
ator Weeks was of the opinion that
the national chairman should de-
vote all of his time to the job. Sem
ator Brewster thought it would be
better for the party to hire a per-
manent executive director who
would do the administrative work
while the chairman made policies.
I'VE ought to have learned some
thing from what the CIO Political
Action Committee did in this last
campaign" Senator Brewster said
They got started early and worked
hard on organization"
