Flood tides added havoc today
to a furious pre-winter snow
storm.
Waves crashing inland forced
evacuation of some 5000 homes
in the New York area on the
South Shore of Long Island and
on Staten Island.
Hundreds of automobiles, many
with women and children among
the motorists, were stranded
throughout the night because of
snow and icy conditions on Route
II north of Tuxedo Park, N. Y.
Winds up to SO miles an hour
knocked down power lines and
cut off electricity to about $4,000
homes on Long Island
Two Feet of Snow.
The storm dumped up to 2
feet of snow in upstate New York
and 81 inches in New York City.
Winds in the city ranged up to
so miles an hour.
Ferryboat service between
Manhattan and Staten Island
and New Jersey was suspended
when the high running tide made
docking unsafe. Two passenger
laden ferries, unable to dock,
bucked the wind in the harbor
for hours.
Water cut across a causeway
and isolated Long Beach, N Y,
from the Long Island mainland.
The shore area houses evacu-
ated on Long Island were located
mostly along a 30-mile stretch
between East Rockaway and
Babylon, including the towns of
Freeport, Merrick, Wantaugh.
Massapequa and Amityville. ,
Some Homes Flooded.
Water 3 and 4 feet deep flood
ed some homes on Staten Island.
at the entrance of New York
harbor, between South Beach
and Tottenville. The Salvation
Army and the Red Cross set up
food and first aid stations for
exposure victims.
Residents said conditions were
as bad as during a 1850 storm
and tide when the flooded section
was declared a disaster area.
Service men from Fort Wads-
worth and Miller Field were sent
to help in rescue and patrol
work.
Some New York City subway
service was disrupted by water
in the tunnels.
Municipalities in New Jersey,
from Monmouth Beach to East
Keansburg, a 15-mile stretch
near Sandy Hook, pronounced a
state of emergency and evacu-
ated residents of waterfront
homes.

hour traffic time yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t roared on into the
night, marooned people in such
places as the police courtroom at
Upper Marlboro and stalled hun
dreds of motorists.
Snow Plan Invoked.
1t also brought in brief effect
for the first time, the two-year-
old emergency snow regulations
in Washington. Under it's provi-
sionS, any motorist whose car
was stalled and blocked traffic on
specified streets because of the
lack of tire chains or snow tires,
was subject to a fine.
First traces of the storm ap-
peared at the Weather Bureaus
National Airport station about
AIS am. yesterday. At the
time the bureau forecast inter-
mlttent snow all day long. WASH

and as far west as the Blue
Ridge began getting it.
A freak change of course sent

Early Season Record.
BY that time it was an official
6l2 inches deep, burying all bu-
reau records for early-season
snowfall. Nearest to it was f.

Because of official predictions
that the snow would melt as
rapidly as it fell on streets and
hlghWayS-and because the end
OF it was forecast for late yes
terday afternoon-motorists re-
garded the situation as merely
wet paving.
Dropping temperatures began
sending thousands to filling sta
tlof1s for anti-freeze and chains.
Yesterday was anti-freeZe

reported.
Too many motorists recalled
the freak Storm which moved
into Washington the afternoon
OF December IA, 1851, leaving
3.4 inches of snow and frozen
rain on the highways and knot
ting traffic at the rush hour.
That was when the emergency
snow ordinance was drafted, but
last night was the first time it
was needed
The city's Street-clearing
equipment went into operation
before midnight, just about as
late as the weather forecast. In
the suburban areas, clearing
crews also were caught mapping
by the freakiSh conduct of the
storm and many main highways
were still uncleared at daybreak.
Traffic was moving at a re-
spectful pace this morning. For
tunately it was Saturday and
commuters were at a minimum.
Weekend Forecast.
Fair weather and continued
cold are predicted for the week
end, with a partly cloudy high
OF AZ degrees today, a low of 28
tonight and a gradual warming
up for tomorrow.
The flve-day forecast issued
yesterday calls for little or no
precipitation-either rain or

GETTING
Along
BY LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - The
United Church Women, represent
ing ten million members, recently
recorded it's opposition to segrega-
ton in public schools. In doing So
the group is helping to complete a
job started by their forefathers
years ago.
1t was the church that started
institutions of learning. 1t was also
the church that started hospitals
and charitable organizations. All Of
these worthy organizations were
brought into existence to make the
world a better place for all. If
hospitals had been organized to
preserve the health of a certain
few so they could take advantage
of others, the value of hospitals
would be questionable. In the
same way, charitable organizations
would lose their effectiveness if
they had been organized to help
only certain group.
Schools lose some of their use
fulness when large groups. of
worthy individuals are denied ac-
cess tot hem. Schools can actually
be a detriment to society when
they are used to place on seq
ment of the population in a posi-
ton to take advantage of another
segment. In a segregated school
system, this is exactly what hap
pens. That part of the population
that is favored with the best faci-
lities for learning, is placed in a
better position than those not al
lowed the best facilities for learn
ing.

previous contract and find some-
thing else to keep body and soul
together until the baseball season
opens.
Even the top stars on the base
ball clubs have some sort of Off
season activity to supplement
their salaries, and most of the
players hardly ever reach that
$20,000-andup bracket. 1t is diff
cult for most of them to find any
kind of off-season work that would
be adequate to take care of them
selves and their families.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD = The
Yankees have done it again. 1t
seems they can't do anything to
suit us here of late, SO if we seem
harsh, we're sorry. We picked on
them while back for not signing
Vic Power during the season, and
accused them of prejudice. We still
think we had a leg to stand on
there, although the latest news is
that he has been signed and will
come up next year.
The thing we wonder is, why
they couldn't have brought him up
last season when he might have
had a chance to earn a little cash
and come in for little of the
World Series money AS it is now,
his contract has been signed, but
they are forbidding him to play
any winter baseball
This is tough, because Power
had already signed with Puerto
Rican club and was all set to make
some money to live on during the
winter. But the signing of the
Yankee contract will mean he
