Louis Jordan
Back On Bd'Way

NEW YORK, N. Y.-After a
four months absence from the ma
lions theaters, clubs and bathrooms,
Louis Jordan has come back to
Broadway headlining the stage
show at the Warner Theatre. Jor-
dan, little heavier but much
healthier than when he announced
an "indefinite retirement" last De-
cember is fronting bouncing five
piece band reminiscent of the
world-famous Tympany Five, which
powered the dynamic little maestro
to the top bracket of his profess
sion.
Illness forced the alto sax play
ing leader to quit the music bust
mess temporarily at time when
box office figures showed his pop
ularity to be at an all-time high.
Jordan's doctor advised him to take
a long rest. He disbanded his IA
piece orchestra which had Been
breaking records all over the coun-
try during a four-month one
nighter tour.
The new Louis Jordan band con-
sists of Jimmy Peterson on piano,
Bert Payne on guitar, Bob Bush
nell on bass, Charles Rice on drums,
and Bob Mitchell on drums. Jor-
dan revealed that his return to the
smaller combination was due to the,
insistence Of his public. An over
whelming percentage of fan mail
received by Jordan during his four
months rest showed that his fans
favored the. small band. 'I'm CIV
ing the people exactly what they
want" said Jordan.
Two new vocalists are being pre-
scented by Jordan at the Warner
Theatre, Ann Bailey and Elaine
Robinson, widow of the late famed
Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Jordan
said he plans to keep the two sing
ers with his band for some time.

Heir To 100000
At IS: "TOO Late"

Rochester, N. Y. - Herman A.
LOOMS, IS year old stationary
engineer, is 100000 richer but he
intends to keep wearing my old
work shirt and old pants"
Loomis received the windfall in
a legacy from the late Mrs. Hetty
Sylvia Holland Green Wilks, a
third or fourth cousin"
Mrs. Wilks, who died Feb. 5,
1851, was daughter of the fabu-
lous Hetty Green, Wall Street
financier, who left a $50,0O0,OO0
estate, Loomis said:
81 won't be able to use much
of the money. I'm too old, Per-
haps, if l had received it early
in life, it would have made a
difference. I'll just keep wear
ing my old work shirt and old
pants"
Loomis said he never had met
Mrs. Wilks.

New Starting
Date Important
To SeIf-EmpIoyed

The new starting date for figur-
ing old-age and survivors insurance
benefit payments is important to
everyone now employed or self
employed in work covered by So
cial security.
In explanation of this statement,
NJ. B. White, manager of the Jack
son social security office, points
out that work after 1850 can be
used alone for figuring the amount
of the benefit payment. Everyone
who has been in work covered by
social security continuously since
January 1, 1851, will be fully in
sured by the middle of the present
year. If he reaches age IS and de-
cides to retire, he will be eligible
for old-age benefit payments; if he
should die after a year and half
of covered work after 1850, his
survivors can get benefit payments.
He and his family will have this
insurance protection until July
1854. They will continue to have
this protection if he stays in COW
cred work for at least one-half
the time after 1850 and up to the
time of retirement at age IS or
later, or up to the time of his death
Mr.. White advises everyone who
plans to retire during 1852 to visit
the Jackson social security office
before making decision. 1t may
be to the advantage of both the
employed and self-employed in
sured person to defer filing claim
until January 1853.

pressed since 194S.
The report was written by the

also has refused to let Senators
see it.
He announced last week, how
ever. that he was giving 1t to the

President Truman had rejected
Senator Nixon's request for access
to it on grounds he did not want
the report used as "a political
football" The report is reputedly
highly critical Of Empire Ord

There is no reason for the

New England Is Due
To Get More Snow:
- 80 Dead in Blizzard
BY The Assoeiofed Press

BOSTON, Feb. 19.-New Eng
land-which has not yet COM
pletely dug itself out of one OF
the worst blizzards in years-may
get more snow tomorrow.
The Weather Bureau says today
will be sunny but that it will be
cloudy early tomorrow followed
by snow or rain in Southern New
England and snow in tho north
portions.
The district forecaster said
early today it is too soon to pre-
dict how much new snow will fall
1T all depends" he said, ION what
path the developing storm condi-
ton takes"
About 80 persons lost their lives
IN the storm which began Sunday
njeht and continued until early
yesterday.
Snow Up to 81 Inches.
The bowling northeast blizzard
deposited from about 8 inches OF
snow in Boston to 81 inches in
parts of New Hampshire. The
26-inch snowfall in Lewiston was
the heaviest since the blizzard of
1888.
More than 1000 persons were
marooned by the storm in $50 cars
and nine buses on route l near
Biddeford.
Two mercy trains were made up
one in Dover, N. H., and the
other in Portland, Me.-to rescue
the men, women and children.
Volunteer workers also sped to
the marooned parties on jeeps,
tractors and tobogganS. They
carried loads of food.
State police last night also
modified for rescue operations
and headed for another 500 per-
sons marooned at Kennebunk.
Maine was hardest hit by the
storm.
Camille Winds.
Winds with gusts up to 81 miles
an hour piled snow so high that
many of New England's rails,
highways. airfelds and even city
streets were blocked.
Many offices and plants closed
down completely or operated with
skeleton forces because so many
persons weren't able to get be-
yond their own front doors.
Three -months-old Donald r.
Cover, accompanied by his father,
Roger Cover of Canaan, Me-. was
the youngest of about 500 persons
who had to spend Sunday night
In makeshift quarters in Kenne-
bunk. He seemed to enjoy the
hustle, however.

New England at least, was back to
near normal today. Logan Air
port officials said planes will fiy
