A slight snow furry brushed
the area today, however, as the
Weather Bureau predicted fair,

Snow fell on Western Mary
land this morning to bring the
first precipitation to the State
in 90 days. The all-time record
of 80 days without measurable
precipitation was established
between October II and No

The Washington area also was
experiencing a prolonged dry

Dry Record for Area
November and December set a
dry record for the area. with
rainfall totaling only 1875 inches,
The last measurable rainfall here
was .03 of an inch on Deem

Water distribution officials in
the District expressed no con-

since consumption presently is
at its lowest-less than half the

In Virginia, the weather has
been dry, too, but authorities
said there had been rain on De-
cember 10 and 81. January has
been dry so far, however, and
only along the coast has there
been measurable precipitation.
In Maryland, George Bran
cato, meteorologist in charge of
the bureau at Friendship Air
port, said last month was the
driest on record. Preliminary
figures show that Maryland had
an average of only SO of an
inch of rain or snow. Normal for
the month is 3l7 inches. Last
months average, he said. was
exactly half the previous lowest
average of .78 of an inch in De-

Only Garrett, Somerset. Wi

said. One weather station near

Mr.. Brancato said the dry spell
has been caused by the large
amount of cold air prevailing
over Maryland during the last
two months. With water con-

majority of Marylanders hadn't
noticed the drought, although
many in the rural areas have

Fruitful Session
.0fCongress
Talk of Political
Free-for-AN Hit
By Senate Leader
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas
today threw cold water on pre-
dictions that the present session
of Congress would degenerate
into a political free-for-all battle
II believe that. the members
of Congress realize that there is
much to be done. that there are
many serious problems that con-
front the American people and
Congress-" Senator johnson said.
They plan to get an early start
and to deal with the necessary
measures.
Il may be too optimistic but I
think that politics will not in
Iterfere with the enactment of
necessary legislation. And I be-
lieve that the American people
will say well done when Con-
Igress has completed this second
session. I believe further that the
important measures which will
come before the Senate can be
handled without bitter personal
debate"
Minor Bills Ready
Senator johnson. discussing
the immediate program. said the
Senate will meet Monday and
Thursday to take up q number
of minor bills decided upon by
the Democratic Policy Commit
tee Of the Senate earlier this
week.
After that, Senator johnson
indicated, steps will be taken to
go ahead with the Democratic
program with a heart" which
he regards as of great import
ance. This will include a social
security bill and a farm-aid bill,
both of which will come up early.
1T will also include a highway
bill and a school-aid bill. These
ARE issues, he said. which will
have to be handled along with
many others.
Discussing the highway legisla-
ton, Senator johnson said the
high toll of accidents during the
recent holiday period are reasons
why this legislation must be ham
died without delay. In addition,
he said, there were economic rea-
sons for the adoption of an ade-
quate highway program. He
added that school construction
was a most important issue to be
faced.
Byrd Plans Hearings
He predicted that good social
security bill will be passed by
the Senate. The House already
has put through a social security
measure which now comes be-
fore the Senate for action. He
declined to predict specifically
what its provisions would be.
He said Senator Byrd. Demo-
crat of Virginia, as chairman Of
the Senate Finance Committee, is
planning early hearings on a
sugar bill and that this legisla-
Ition would be given early at
tention.
Amid all the legislation with
which Conrgess must deal. farm
legislation requires early ac-
ton Senator johnson said.
The farmers are in a most des-
Iperate situation. There will be
demands for disaster relief to
aid the people in many sections
of the country

Three Times as Big
There was speculation that the
explosion might be from two to
three times the size Of the one
produced by the United States
In 1854, the greatest ever pro-
duced. On that oasis the 1856
explosion might be around so
in size. or the equal Of
so million tons of INT.
In theory. hydrogen or fusion
bomb, unlike a conventional
atomic fission. could be developed
to almost any power desired.
Practically. such size would be
limited by the need for fitting it
into a transportable weapon,
such as a bomb casing for aid
delivery.
1854 Blast Biggest
The greatest man-made ex-
plosion so far presumably was
the hydrogen bomb detonated
by the United States at Bikini
Atoll March /, 1854. That ex-
plosion was estimated unof-
ficially at between Is and II

energy released by the explosion
