Train Sent 10 Rescue
Motorists Marooned
By Storm in Rockies
BY the Associotsd Press

l. "A widespread STORM le1C num-
+dredS of persons stranded yes
terday in the Rocky Mountain
region and sent Southern Cali
fornia into its third week OF
freezing temperatures.
A Southern Pacific Railroad train
was sent out of Lordsburg, N. Mex.
last night to rescue motorists stalled
in an estimated 800 cars west OF
there.
The towns six hotels and eight
tourist courts had become damned
and many private homes were TAX
ing in some of the 500 or 900 extra
families already there.
Snowfalls ranging from IL inches
at Duncan, ArZ., to 10 inches at
Morenci had closed Highway Sc and
other roads further south.
200 Motorists Rescued.
A Southern Pacific, official said
that the relief train had picked up
200 stranded motorists in less than
three hours along a 20-mile stretch
west of here.
The snowfall in the Northern
Rockies was light but high winds
whipped up drifts and again blocked
the Chicago and North Western
Railroads line between Casper,
Wyo, and Chadron, Nebr. More
than 100 motorists were marooned
at Lusk, Wyo.
! At Atchison, Kans., flood waters,
backed by huge ice jam, swirled
today over a 10-mile stretch of low
lands along the Missouri River.
, Some families were evacuated in
the lowlands yesterday. Across the
river from Atchison firemen used
boat to rescue five of IA families
forced from their homes.
Five miles southeast of Atchison
another SO families were evacuated
from around Sugar Lake. Three of
The homes were flooded last night.
Ice jam IL Miles Long.
The ice jam in the Kickapoo Bend
of the Missouri was II miles long.
Ice cakes were stacked 6 to To- feet
higher than the levees in some
places.
The freezing temperatures which
gripped Southern California came
in the wake of q gale which up
rooted trees, closed mountain roads
and smashed plate glass windows.
High winds continued today, but
in modified force compared with the
80-mile-an-hour blow which struck
Mount Wilson, near Pasadena, yes
terday and 60-mile-an-hour gusts
which raked the valleys.
Small craft storm warnings were
up along more than $50 miles of
coast line between San Diego and
Pit. Conception.
The Coast Guard resumed search
today in the Point Dune area for
small motor-powered dory missing
since Saturday afternoon with two
men aboard.
As the northeast winds dimin-
ished in some sections last night,
temperatures dropped. And the
Weather Bureau predicted freezing
conditions in many agricultural
sections. Colder weather was fore
cast for tonight.
Hundreds of motorists were tenn

shattered windows and broken cleo
trio wire. Verdugo Woodlands and
Spar Heights were without power for
several hours last night.
Power Shortage Critical.
In the Pacific Northwest, electric
power facilities today faced another
24-hour critical operation period.
A voluntary dim-out appeal, until
now on a late afternoon basis, has
been shifted to. full 24-hour pro-
gram.
Housewives were asked to post
pone usual Monday washing chores
until later in the week in the latest
bid to keep the five-State interlock-
ing transmission system from falling
apart.
If power demand exceeds output,
the load on the transformer points
would automatically disconnect the
network.
Large industries would have to be
dumped from the lines before serv-
ice could be restored. Several thou
sand persons already are idled by
plant Shutdowns and curtailed work
schedules in the lumber and alumni

under Warden's supervision.
Yield Reductions
Yield reductions in NEEDLESS
spring wheat were markedly worse
when the wheat was treated too
early. Results indicated that the least
damage to the wheat would occur
when spraying was done at or after
the 5 to 6-inch stage of growth. Fa-
vorable conditions for weed killing
at the time of spraying are also de-
sirable.
These Favorable conditions" ac-
cording to Warden, occur when the
weed plants are in the four-leaf to
pre-bloom stage, when high soil
moisture exists and warmer tenn
peratures prevail to speed up the
action. The weeds are definitely
more susceptible to the chemical
killer at early stages of growth. Hot,
dry winds will increase resistance
of the weeds. Rain and wind, of
course, would prevent best coverage
of the plants. Anything, in fact, that
detracts from optimum plant grow
ing conditions will lower the chances
for most successful weed kills. Rates
of 2,4-D should be increased when
conditions adverse to good weed
kills are present.
Under the Favorable" conditions
mentioned earlier, results of the

General estimates indicate about
SIS percent of the states winter
wheat crop, or about 10000 acres,
were treated last year. The outlook
for the future is for an increase in
winter wheat acreage treated (de-
pending on weed and crop condi-
