Polar Air Now
Covers Eastern,
Northern u. S.
tspcciaf 10 'Fhe citizen


BOSTON, March 16. - Cold,
polar air now covers the eastern
and northern portions of the u. S.
1t has been forced far southwark
even to the Gulf states since
carly yesterday by a strong
northwesterly flow ught
about by the combination of a
rapidly deepening storm in the
Atlantic and an energetic but
slowly diminishing system Of
high pressure in the eastern
u. S.
The deep storm in the Atlantic
is the same ono chat Hvas just off
the coast Of North Carolina early
yesterday. 1t gained energy very
rapidly offshore and also moved
with great rapidity so that by this
morning it has already reached
position near the western tip of
Newfoundland. The high at the
same time is centered in eastern
Kentucky. Light to occasionally
moderate snow was reported near
the east coast yesterday from
North Carolina as far north as
Atlantic City. N. J. However, the
storm remained offshore and
precipitation amounts were all
light. Skies now are mostly clear
along the Atlantic seaboard from
Maine to Florida A few scatter
ed snow flurries still persist in
the lea of the Great Lakes and
over higher terrain of New York
S ate and Pennsylvania but
otherwise generally fair weather
prevails from the Plains States
to the east coast.
While temperatures have fallen
from 10 degrees to more than 10
degrees in the extreme east there
has been a tendency for rising
temperatures during the past "a
hours over the Plains states with
largest "a hour plus changes of
more than 20 degrees in portions
of Nebraska and South Dakota.
However, another thrust of cold
air from central Canada is once
again advancing southwark into
Montana and the Dakotas. Some
unusually low minimum temper
atures reported in the East this
morning were Tampa with 48
degrees, Meridian, Miss, 81 de-
grees, Columbia, S. c. and Chat
tanooga, Tenn, % degrees, Hat
teras, N. c. 80 degrees and Wash
ington, D. c.. "a degrees. In Yer
mont and Maine it was from 5 to
10 degrees above.

Scientist X

To Testify
my The Associated pres.)

Z
WASHINGTON. March l6, s.
Who is Scientist x? That was a
question that buzzed at Capitol
Hill today when it became known
that he will again testify before
a congressional committee.
He is known generally to pe a
member of the scientific staff in
the University of California, but
his name has not been revealed
to the public. !.
Recently, he testified behind
closed doors regarding charges
he had been implicated in sub
versive acts, but. after the hear
ing, it was announced that he
had been found guiltless.
However, the committee is re-
ported to have been given more
information about his alleged
activities in espionage, and for
that reason he has been recalled
to testify.
Russia, as usual. is the country
for which the group is reported to
have been engaged in spy work.

Victor Lang, proprietor of the
Southern Cross hotel, last night

lists to Key West during the

In addressing the Key West
Kiwanis club, Lang said that
hotels here, especially those of
the smaller type, do we'll to break
even nine months out of the year
and must depend on an extreme
ly short season" to get them out
of the red and make a profit.
Lang charged shortsightedness
on the part of businessmen who
concentrate their advertising on
the winter months when the city
is already at its peak of business.
He also charged apathy of bust
ness firms with partial RESPONSE
bility for existing conditions.
AS an example he pointed out
that last year an attempt was
made by the chamber of COM
merce to raise funds for sum
mer advertising campaign and
that only $500 was raised Of
this amount 5000 came from the
Hotel and Restaurant Assn. alone,
he said.
