Winter Comes To
Montgomery County

The years lowest temperature
hit the county yesterday (Wednes-
day) when the mercury went down
to 10 and even lower in the upper
sections. Sleet, rain and hail start
ing around noon turned streets and
roads into an icy sheet.
In Rockville, courthouse emplo-
yees were dismissed at o'clock
that they might escape the heavy
afternoon traffic. About an hour
later it was a degree or SC warmer
and the hail roughened ice on the
streets began to afford better trac-
ton, but ice forming on wind
shields made driving a hazard,
buses were running behind sche-
dule, and many commuters stayel
in Washington.
Following the spring-like weat-
her on Monday when the temper
ature went up to Sc degrees the
cold and ice came as a surprise.
This morning Thursday early
morning traffic moved slowly ard
carefully. The roads were not crow
ded, those who could do so stayed
home for the day. The sun shining
brightly melted the ice by noon
and there was a prediction Of rain
later in the day. Rockville police
had no report of serious accidents.
Two persons were injured yes
terday in Bethesda when a Capital
Transit Co. bus and an autombile
collided at Old Georgetown rd., and
Bradley Lane.
DIR. Raymond NJ. Ham, Al, OF
the DC. Public Health Depart
ment, suffered concussion. Also
injured was Eta Mullens, negro,
II, a passenger in the bus. She
suffered a broken rib.
Donald S. Howard, Al, Gathers
burg, driver of the bus, escaped
injury.

PSKOV FEELS PRESSURE TITS SCATES

MOSCOW, Feb. 1.-The city of Pskov. the gateway to Latvia and Lithuania, felt the pressure of two Russian armies, one driving southward from the lower end of Lake Peipus, toward Pskov Lake, and the other southwest ward down the Leningrad high way and railway, the portion which is in the Soviet hands south ofcaptured Luga =. .ss~, 's
 Pskov is an important railway and highway junction where the Car Nicholas dedicated the rail- way station in 1917. Six trunk railways and four main highways run in and out of Pskov.
 The Russians are now withtn-43 miles at the nearest point and should they be able to reach the city. great numbers of Germans will be cut off from retreat, in the Lake linen, Staraya- Russia sector.
 The possession of Pskoy will give the Russians an extremely advantageous position from which to launch operations to clear the Germans from the Baltic repub- lies.
 Estonia can be virtually cut off from Germany by drive west ward from Pskov, 85 miles to Walk Junction, which controls every highway and railway into Estonia, from there it is only 90 more miles to Riga, Latvia, and such an advance would entirely isolate Estonia, and the Nazis army.
 It is expected that there will be an all-out battle for Pskov, and that it will prove one of the wars most important battles.
 A dispatch from Pravda, said the Germans were mining the rail- ways and blowing up bridges.
