new SNOW STORM HITS
THE entire MIDWEST

In the wake of sub-Zero tenn
peratures a new blanket of snow
fell Tuesday morning over the
already white-covered midwest.
In London the snow blanket was
as heavy as the original snow
fall and again brought out snow
plows on local streets.
The snowStorn1, borne on winds
of 20 to 25 miles an hour, moved
eastward. The cold weather also
was expected to follow the storm
to the eastern seaboard
The double dose of snow and
severe cold appeared following
the pattern of the storm and icy
weather which walloped the cas-
tern half of the nation the last
four days.
The snow and frigid cold struck
at the height of the Christmas
shopping season and made the
shopping tour an extra hard task.
Below Zero 2 Days
The mercury plunged below
zero Monday for the second
straight day.

REDS LIST PRISONERS
General Deans

MUNSAN, KOREA. DEC. Is
---LP-The communists turned
over to the United Nations today
a list of 1859 prisoners, includ-
ing 3,19s Americans.
They said the list includes all
prisoners of the Korean war in
their hands. The u. N. gave the
Reds list of 132, ,474 Chinese and
north Korean prisoners.
General Matthew B. Ridgeway's
headquarters in Tokyo said it un-
derstood the communist list in
cludes Maj. Gen. William r.
Dean, lost commander Of the II. s.
oath Division. Dean has been mis-
sing since the fall Of Taejon in
July 1850.
Communist newsmen at Pan
munjon said Associated Press
photographer Frank Noel was al
so listed.
Lists were exchanged Tuesday
when communist truce negotiators
suddenly capitulated to u. N. de-
mands. The prisoner subcommittee
recessed until Thursday. Rear
Adm. F.. E. Libby, U. N. mem
ber of the committee, said the
purpose was to study the lists.
Brig. Gen. William r. Nuckols,
u. N. spokesman, elaborated:
The communist lists have not
yet been verified. They probably
include errors, omissions and pos
sibly fictitious additions.
Every effort humanity possible
will be made Immediately by the
II. n. command to check the list.
The respective arms Of services in
the United States will notify the
next of kin Immediately on veri-
fication.
I cannot emphasize too strong
ly that this is a communist list.
Any information on prisoners
received from the communists is
questionable due to their contin-
ued refusal to allow ineternation-
al committees to the Red Cross

facilities and operations.

An "unscheduled airline" is
one whose planes take off
when they have a load. How
ever, a load doesn't mean an
overload. Experts say that the
plane which fell in the Eliz-

son was a twin engined plane
rated to carry about "a
people. Surely, the authorities
could prevent this slaughter.

Sc Die In Plane Wreck
FLAMING CRASH
End WORST IN
u. S. HISTORY

ELIZABETH, N. JAP
Authorities, goaded by white-hot
angry townspeople, opened five
way inquiry today of the flaming
crash OF a Florida bound airliner
in which So persons died.
1t was the second worst COM
mercial airplane disaster in AM
erican history Fifty-eight perish
ed in a Lake Michigan crash June
"a, 1850.
1T was too early to make any
statements, but we are now in
the initial stage of securing re-
cords" said Joseph O. Fluet of
the Civil Aeronautics Board, who
heads one investigation.
The twin-engined Cas- Maimi
.Airplane, Inc, plane-three miles
out of Newark Airport-just mis-
sed the midtown Elizabeth busi-
ness section and smashed into
fairly open river bank as the pilot
fought heroically to control it. He
was Albert c. Lyons of Miami.
THE pilot ought to have place
in heaven for trying to save it,
said one spectator, j. p Ward,
a parking lot owner,
And a woman resident of the
area added:
Il kind Of think he hit the spot
Intentionally 70 cnva NC
Aboard were AZ adult pas
sengers, four children, a three
man crew and stewardess.
Tie blazing plane clipped a
vacant house and wrecked an
unused water pumping station, in
juring one man slightly Children
fled screaming to safety from its
path.
State Sen. Kenneth C. Hand
said on the scene:
1T was only miracle that
hundreds of people weren't killed.
Apparently the plane missed
apartment houses by a small frac-
ton.
Maybe this will make the civil
aeronautics authority realize that
you can't have airports so close to
heavily congested cities"
Only few weeks ago, Hand
called a meeting to protest the
thunder of Iow-flying planes from
Newark airport-a noise that set
terrified infants to wailing in
their cribs at night.
At that time, Elizabeth residents
threatened to form a human bar
rier with their bodies to block
airport runways unless something
was done.
The port of New York Authority
which operates Newark airport
undertook to build a new runway
to send planes over Newark Bay
instead of Elizabeth
The non-scheduled airliner took
off from Newark at 3:02 P. M.
(ESTl for Tampa and Maimi. A
non-scheduled airplane flies at ir-
regular intervals, usually when
it gets a full load.
It crashed seven minutes later,
in this city of more than 100000
persons about 10 miles from New
York.
1t was the first crash in %
months of a non-scheduled air.
liner.
The plane seemed to be in
trouble even before it left the
ground. It's right engine belched
black smoke Emergency ground
crews were alerted for trouble.
But the plane got off the runway
sluggishly
Besides Lyons, the plane carried
two co-pilots, j. r. Mason and
Edward Lily, both of Miami. The
stewardess, Doris Helms, also was
from Miami. Lyons, who learned
to fly when he was is. was an
instructor at Riddle Airfield near
Clewiston, Fla, during the Sc
cond world war.
Most of the passengers were
from New Jersey and New York.
A few were from New England,
as far north as Maine. Some
were returning to their homes in
Florida.

Be SLOW in Signing

Farmers approached by such fast
talking statesmen should be very
slow in signing contracts. References
should be carefully checked. Bids
from at least two other firms, local
il possible, should be obtained for
the job in mind. "A written guarantee
should be obtained if the work i
done by other than firm you know
IS highly reputable.
But, as the case above illustrates,
even this written guarantee offers
little recourse In some cases. Farm
ers and ranchers will save them
selves much grief in many cases BY
utilizing the services Of local con-
tractors whom they know to be
honest.

Roof Jobs Prove
No Bargain

HAVE YOU BEEN offered 4 'slife-
time guarantee" roofing and siding
job on your house at a s'bargain"
price this summer? If not, you may
be contacted some time in the future
by one Of several travelling construe-
ton crews operating in the state.
Your protective service has informs.
ton that at least some of these COM
panies are charging very high prices,
using inferior materials and con-
struction methods, and that their
written guarantees give little protec-
ton.
Take the case Of one judith Basin
area farmer who had a new home
built last summer and let himself
be sold high-priced roof and siding
job from one Of the travelling crews.
Since early spring, the wind has
been tearing the shingles off and
the roof leaks, the farmer reports.
Three letters were written to the
company with no reply.
So during a trip to the Montana
city where the construction company
had its offices, the farmer attempted
to call on the manager of the firm.
The best he could do was to talk to
him on the telephone. In the con-
servation, the company promised to
send crew up to fix the roof ].
as soon as they had time and !.
il they had any more shingles to
match, and etc.

Many Loopholes

Nothing further was heard from
the company following this typical
stall" until the farmer finally ar
ranged face-to-face meeting with
the company manager month later.
At this meeting II was soon evident
that the company would not do any
thing despite the written guarantee
given to the farmer. In fact the
manager all but laughed in the farm
er's face while explaining loopholes
IN the guarantee that eliminated any
hope Of legal action against the com
pany.
More recent examination Of the
roof indicates that it was put on
wrong and that the only solution
viii be to do it all over. And II i
pretty clear now that the company
doing the job viii not even repair
the roof.
