26Die as Record Cold
And Snow Hit Eastern
Two-Thirds Of u. ).
BY the Associated Press

A massive snow storm and
record cold throttled spring in
much of the eastern two-thirds
of the Nation yesterday.
The wintry assault left at
least rs persons dead in two
days and threatened extensive
new damage to the Nations
hard-hit early peach crop.
Virtually the entire United
States, except Florida and the
Southwest felt the grip of sub
normal cold. And the cold wave
was expected to hit Northern
Florida last night.
The surge of frigid air brought
record low temperatures from
the Rockies eastward across the
Midwest and into the South.
Cold wave warnings were issued
for parts of the East, Southeast
and deep South.
Heavy snow. whipped into hip
high drifts in some places.
hampered traffic in much Of
Indiana and Ohio.
Part of Blizzard Pattern
The storm that pushed into
the East is part of the same
weather system that left the
Rocky Mountain States Keeling
from a three-day battering of
billiards. and cold earlier in the
week. ..
The South braced for the Sec
ond crop-killing cold wave to hit
the area this espring.
In Meriwether County, Ga, the
heart of the States peach-grow-
ing section, County Agent r. c.
Buchanan said the cold will fin
ish off the county's peach crop.
Below freezing temperatures
were predicted for as far south
as Jacksonville, Tallahassee and
Pensacola, Fla.
Major crops in peril, besides
the Georgia peaches, are the big
peach growing section of Ala
bama, possibly Alabama's big
potato crop on the Gulf Coast,
and North Florida truck farms.
Is Vehicles in Crash
Thirteen motor vehicles were
damaged in a binding snow
storm at Washington Court
House. Ohio, in a chain-reaction
smashup on a curve. One person
was hurt seriously and four
others were hospitalized.
Northwestern Ohio had more
than six inches of snow by early
afternoon with two to three more
inches expected. Cleveland had
one of the states heaviest falls.
All north-south roads in the
northern half of Indiana were
blocked with snow except U. S. |
81 and AL.

of special interest to women
filled a section of The Sunday
Star.
The advent of radio brought
a quick response from The Star
in a regular Sunday column of
radio news and gossip. On Feb
ruary %, 1924, The Sunday Star
put out a complete directory of
the 900 then-existent American,
Cuban and Canadian radio sta
tons. featuring their distance
in miles from Washington, so
every crystal set owner would
have a basis for boasting how
far their set could receive. In
like fashion, when The Star
recognized that families were
now planning their week around
what shows they wanted to
watch on television. a pull-out
section with the weeks tele-
vision shows and highlights be-
came a. regular feature of The
Sunday Star.
Review of the Week
The emphasis on interpreta-
ton of the news prompted the
Review of the Week" which
first appeared on the first page
of the Sunday editorial sec
ton on August 3, 1852.
In other words, The Star over
the last so years has sought to
carry out the, principles of this
editorial heralding the first Sum
day Star:
1.-THE Stars readers know it
well enough now to be certain
that it keeps its pledges. They
may be assured that it will spare
no effort or expense to print the
best possible Sunday newspaper,
just as it has always gone to the
limit of its means and ability to
print the best possible weekday
paper. 1t will try always to be
and interesting. Its in
fiuence as the home newspaper,
the intimate and valued COM
panion of every member of the
family, will, it is believed, be as
wholesome and helpful on Sum-
day as on the other days of the
week. It will continue to main
tain its traditions and its high
standards and will be more than
ever the friend and effective
guardian of local interests
through this opportunity to make
itself heard, should occasion
arise, on seven instead of six
days in the week in defense of
the welfare of the community"

Uncle Sam, SIum-Foe in Other Cities,
Is Landlord of Some HoveIs in District

Uncle Sam spends millions
yearly to wipe sIums off the face
of the Nation yet in his Capital
he is landlord of some of the
city's worst dwellings.
1t is an anomalous role that
he plays nowhere else in the
country. But then, here in WASH
ington. he is also landlord of
more than 80 of those unsightly
office buildings called "tempos"
in which nearly 10000 Federal
workers are employed.
AS champion of slum radiance
in dozens of communities since
passage of the 1949 Housing Act,
the Government has appropri-
ated SGT million to help cities
replace decayed dwellings. To-
ward the same end, it has loaned
another $72 million.

vide parking spaces convenient
to the Capitol Hill area.
AS far as the tempos are con-
cerned, however, Mr.. Kaufholz
said he believes the Government
will stay in that business for
some years to come. All are now
filled nearly to capacity. And as
the Government carries out its
intensified program to pull its
employees out of office space
leased from private building
owners, the tempos probably will
continue to be filled with these
displaced workers, he said.
The Government is entirely out
of the business of leasing out
office space in its own buildings,
according to another public
buildings official.
Mr.. Kaufholz declared: I'VE
hate slums and tempos as much
as the next person. All I can
say is that we're doing all we
can to get rid of both as soon
as we can" .. $

consumers paid II per cent more
for their crops.
IAN important reason" for the
difference between farm and gro

fancier packaging and process

This is especially true of fruits

No Immediate Effect
Mr.. Cooley said the study
supported contentious of House

the farmers income, will have no
important effect on the retail

Lower price supports will hurt

The House Agriculture Com
mittee said yesterday that house,
wives paid the highest prices on
record for some foods in 1854 de-
spite sharply lower returns to
farmers.
The committee said that in
1854 prices on the farm were 7
per cent lower than in the 1947-
40 period while grocery store
prices were 10 per cent higher. A
big factor in retail prices are the
costs of fancier packaging and
processing, it asserted.
The figures were presented in
a study OF food market prices
and. costs. 1t is a continuation
of a study started by the commit
tee last year.
Would Restore Supports
The committees chairman,
Representative Cooley, Democrat,
of North Carolina, is author of a
bill to abandon the AdminiStra-
TONS variable price support pro-
gram and restore rigid high sup
ports on basic farm commodities.
The committee report said the
farm price of food grains went
down 9 per cent in the five-year
period. although. 1t added, cere-
ais and bakery products rose %
per cent, for the highest levels
on record.
1t added that the price received
by farmers for dairy products
declined 8 per cent, while retail
prices were 6 per cent higher.

"Our
Growing Edge"
MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY
Our Best Hope

A man well known in public af-
fairs recently returned to this
country from a worldwide tour.
On his arrival in New York he was
asked by newsmen, How do people
in other lands feel about President
Eisenhower's illness?" He replied.
They are praying for his recovery
in more different languages than
| ever knew were spoken"
In this dramatic reply he
brought to us again the fact that
there are powerful ties that bind
the human race together. Ties of
love and Christian concern for
their fellow-men i'm every land and
among all races.
Too often, we find this very real
fact obscured by screaming head
lines of disunity, prejudice and
violence. These things always make
news for they are dramatic, out-of
the ordinary. Yet, the work and eff
forts of men of good will go by
sometimes unnoticed, but they go
on quietly and steadily.
Something happens to a man of
worldwide stature, as our Presi-
dent surely is. and we are made to
realize how other nations are
bound to us by common faith, by
our hope for peace and for a
world where there is justice for
all
If, in many lands men are pray
ing for him, then we would think
they should also take some posi-
tive action toward achieving the
peace we all desire, and for which
he has been working.
They and us should work to tear
down the barriers that separate ma
tons and people. to take away age
old prejudices that divide them
We should work to replace learn
ing where there is ignorance, the
truth where there is superstition
Economic hope should be given to
backward and oppressed nations.
Our common Christian faith
binds us together, and we can en-
large and strengthen those ties by
our prayers, our work our gifts
AS we too pray for our Presi-
dents recovery, we should work in
a positive manner for peace There
are many things each one of us can
do Our best hope lies in the doing
of them
