Warmer
Readings
forecast

Is showed in the Tri-Cities last
night and thermometers regis
tered the warmest temperatures
in more than a week. &c.
The forecast was for continued
rising temperatures today and
Sunday and there was some hope
that the chinook wind which hit
southern Oregon Friday after.
noon would drive winter com.
pletely away. 49,. --,-s
The snow started about 6 pm.
and continued intermittently
most of the evening.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
4 The long-awaited chinook be.
gan sweeping into the Pacific
Northwest yesterday, heralding
the end of one of the regions
most prolonged cold spells.
But the warm wind brought
new troubles with it; sleet;
freezing rain; and the threat Of
flood.
1t stalled trains and tangled
highway traffic. A snowslide
blocked the Milwaukee road line
near Rockdale, five miles west
of the Snoqualmie summit. I'm
ion Pacific trains got through
the Columbia Gorge only by fol-
lowing snow plows. The Mil
waukee cancelled all ski trains
to the Milwaukee Ski Bowl.
A storm from the southeast
was expected to break the cold
spell in western Oregon and
Washington today, with rain
practically everywhere except in
the icy Columbia River Gorge.
Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton were forecast for less relief;
some snow, particularly. along
the Cascades, but temperatures
still below freezing.
TEMPERATURES ZooM
The southeast wind struck
Medford, Ore, at midday, raising
the temperature from ID to Al de.
grees. The thermometer at Kla-
math Falls zoomed from s below
to 30. above. At Grants Pass it
began showing.
Then the chinook moved on
northward. running into the cold
air mass which has chung over
the region. That brought trouble:
rain turned to ice or snow as it
fell through the cold layer of air.
A freezing rain struck Newport
on the Oregon coast and all the
Willamette valley, laying blan-
ket of ice on the streets, and
making traffic hazardous.
1t began showing in Portland.
The, weatherman forecast snow
and freezing rain for western
Oregon and western Washington
Friday night. turning to rain
Saturday as the chinook warns
up the cold air.
The change came after an icy
spell that has lasted-with brief
respites-since New Years Day.
Temperatures Friday had drop
ped as low as 80 below at Sene-
ca, Ore. and % below at Ellens-
burg, Wash.
A 230-KV Bonneville line be-
tween Midway and Ellensburg
failed before dawn Friday. and
was finally restored late in the
afternoon.

TirileBombin British Plane
 5farts Query

LONDON. April 17-tN-Who put a time bomb on London to Paris airliner last week-and whom was lie trying to kill?
 In an all-out attempt to answer this question. Scotland Yard be- gan today to dismantle two- engine British European Airways Viking at Northolt Airport.
 The Viking limped back to Lon don last Thursday night with its tail assembly almost torn away.
 BEA's first version was that it had been hit by lightning over Northern France. The stewardess, suffering from a broken arm and shock, was taken to hospital. The 2S passengers-including babe in escaped injury.
 The lightning theory was aban- dored last Saturday. BEA's chiet press officer asserted all the eyi i- dence pointed to sabotage.
 He said an explosion apparently occurred in the planes toilet, next to the little kitchen where the stewardess was preparing food and drinks.
 The plane staggered home with both sides of the fuselage blown out and the riddled tail essambly hanging by only the top struts and the flooring. The pilot landed it with the wing ailerons alone.
 One of the passengers was Ralph Strauss, a Marshall Plan official He pooh-poohed suggestions that he was the target of an assassina- tion attempt.
 London newspapers searching the BEA passenger lists for Thursday said one of the travellers on an earlier plane was Rear-Admiral Eric Longly-Cook, director of British Naval Intelligence.

WASHINGTON, April IT - R = Former Representative Roger c. Slaughter of Kansas City was ac- quilted today of a charge of vio- lating the lobbying act.

 The government presented only two witnesses. One was Raymond J. Barnes, President of the North American Grain Association of New York. The other was billiard Rogers. he House of Representatives Clerk n charge of receiving registrations by lobbyists.
 With Barnes on the stand, Frank Patton. Justice Department attor- ney, introduced expense accounts md record of a check for S7.5OO paid to Slaughter for attorneys fees by the grain association.
 Rogers was called to testify that Slaughter had not registered as Q 'obbyist The defense said it ad- nitted that.

 Holtzoff in effect ruled with him.
