JONES and RIVERS
DEADLOCK IN RACE
TO HEAD SENATE

There was a shift in the Republic
can vote in the Territorial Senate
this morn, ng but it failed on two
ballots to end the deadlock which
has stalemated organization of the
upper body of the Legislature for
three days.
The vote on two ballots this
morning was eight for Senator Vic
tor C. Rivers of Anchorage for
President of the Senate and eight
for Senator Charles D. Jones of
Nome for the same office. Senator
Engebreth and Senator Garniek
shifted their vote from Engebreth
to Jones on the ninth ballot.
No break in the deadlock is yet in
sight and it appeared for a mo-
ment this morning that the Senate
might be unable to adjourn because
Of it. Republican members voted in
favor of the adjournment motion
put by Senator NUM- and were
joined by Senator Rivers, the only
Democrat to favor adjournment.
The Senate will reconvene at 10
o'clock Monday morning to resume
the fray.
The Republicans, at least, are 60
ing to stand firm, according to SEN
ator John Butrovich of Fairbanks
we are solidly united and will not
break" Senator Butrovich said.
The House was not in session to-
day.
Governor Gruening's message will
not be delivered until the Senate
is organized, it was reported this
morning. The message was sched-
uled for delivery at IL o'clock Mon

Only thcse subscriptions that

Tighter solicitation of the town

The goal is 100000.
Investments of as many thous-

(By The Associated Press


The western and mountain plains
states, slowly recovering from a
three-day severe blizzard, braced for
fresh onslaught of snow, wind
and sub-zero weather today
A new storm roared out of CEN
trail Canada into Montana, Wyom-
ing and North Dakota and headed
for sections in Colorado. Nebras-
ka and South Dakota This is the
same general area which was par
alyZed earlier this week by the
winter seasons worst weather.
Twenty persons lost their lives
in the blizzard and thousands were
marooned in autos and trains which
were stalled hy the huge snow drifts
over the plains. However, the Fed
eral Weather Bureau said they did
not expect as severe storm as the
blizzard earlier this week.
HALT SNOW FLOWS
The new snow and cold was ex-
pected to halt the snow pillow oper-

today snowplows smashed through

Federal forecasters, in predicting
blizzard conditions, cautioned high
way travellers to seek shelter. Below
zero temperatures were forecast for
most of the storm belt.
The Federal Weather Bureau said
the snowfall was not expected 10
be as heavy as the recent falls,
which in parts of Nebraska measur-
ed as much as 40 inches. However,
heavy, drifting snow was predicted
for Nebraska.
Strong winds blew across the
plains and swirled the snow onto
newly cleared highways and rail-
road tracks. Train service in the
area was nearly back to normal
but all highways were not yet open
for travel.
Temperatures dropped sharply as
the mass of cold air moved across
the border into Montana and North

mild weather prevailed and unsea-
sonable temperatures were reported
in nearly every section Of the coun-
try. The new cold, however, was ex-
