MiIder Weather Due
After Light Snowfall

Winter threw the book al
Washington briefly last night. but
the Weather Bureau sees better
days ahead.
Forecasters had called for
snow, sleet, more snow, more
'sleet and rain in just about that
order and got it-almost to the
minute.
Cloudy skies lay over the area
today but the forecast for tomor-
row calls for some sunshine with a
high Of about IS. Tonight will be
fair with a low Of 28. the bureau
said.
High point Of the snowfall,
much of which still blanketed
open areas this morning, came at
about the peak of the going-home
rush. It slowed traffic, but didn't
clog it. BY early morning the
overnight rains had washed high
ways clear of slush.
The total precipitation was al
most an inch.
Virginia and Maryland, except
for the mountain areas, had much
the same taste of weather last
night and a forecast similar to
Washington for the week end.
Evening star., 1952-01-05

noises muted the big horns atop
the National Museum on Consti-
ution avenue.
District Civil Defense Director
John E: Fondahl, whose explana-
ten Of the test went through the
same amplifying system, might
well have been speaking in Rus
sian except in areas within two
blocks of the Museums speaker
However, all residents are urged
to send cards to the director Of
Civil Defense in the National
Guard Armory. noting their re-
action to the signals.
officials emphasized that today's
dry-run was specifically a test to
point up the faults of the system.
They expect criticism.
Engineers were out in six wide
ly scattered points equipped with
ound-measuring devices, count
ing all decibels which came their
Way.
