Snow and Stalled Cars
Clog Roads Out of City

Many roads leading out of
Washington in all directions
were reported closed or impas-
sable today because of snow
and stalled cars.
Police in the Maryland and
Virginia suburbs, however, said
traffic was able to move along
most major highways, but said
travel was very slow and
hazardous.
Most secondary roads were
reported as clogged or closed.
All roads could be closed at
any time because of drifting,
officials said.
Police and the American
Automobile Association advised
motorists not to drive unless
necessary and then only with
chains or snow tires.
In the rural areas, road con-
ditions we're extremely bad.
Travel was advised only in
emergencies.
Here is a picture of the
major highways, all of them
snow covered and slippery, in
this area:
Route Hazardous driving
and partially blocked at many
places both north and south
of Washington. Numerous tie
ups reported because of stalled
cars and trucks in a 15-mile
stretch in Maryland between
Elkridge and Beltsville. Barely
passable south of Alexandria
to Richmond.
Shirley highway-Open with
one lane each way, traffic NOV
ing slowly.
Baltimore Washington park
way-Open but only one lane
used in various sections.
Route 29-Open both north
and south of Washington, but
often clogged with stalled cars
north Of Washington and some
places in Virginia.
Route 3O1-Passable but with
many drifts.

WHO SAID so?

So you insist the Weather
Bureau is wrong on depth
of the snow? This is the
way they do it:
Try to get a representa-
tive area" where drifts have
not accumulated and snow
has not been blown of.

A number of District teach

day of. Students, of course,
were all excused.
Most teachers, however, de-
cided that discretion was the
better part Of valor; they
either checked the announce
ment-and found it untrue-or
just ignored it.
The erroneous report resulted
from a misunderstanding be-
tween Supt. Carl F. Hansen,
who made the decision to call
of classes, and his executive
assistant. Miss Margaret r.
Pepper, who relayed it to the
radio stations. Miss Pepper
thought he said to announce
that only students were ex-
cused. But he meant to include

administrative officers-as we'll.

THE TERM of the Rev. DR..
Frederick Brown Harris as
chaplain of the Page School
had come to an end. The
House boys were trying to re-
place him with the Rev. DR..
Bernard Braskamp, chaplain
of the House. DR.. Harris is
chaplain of the Senate.
Duke Zeller, a Senate page
appointed by Minority Leader
Dirksen of Illinois, had the
floor.
DIR. Harris has chaperoned
us at dances" he said HE
has got dates for US. He has
called up girls schools and
asked if the girls would like
to go to our dances.
Young Zeller evidently was
aware of the dictum of Con-
necticut's Roger Sherman
of the Continental Congress:
IF you have a majority,
vote; if you haven't, talk"
Young Zeller talked. Let's
come to an agreement on
this" he said. Lets not
vote. A vote is too mechani-
cal. Besides, half the Sen
ate is not here.
I'm going to fllibuster.
But the privilege of I'M
limited debate does not ex-
tend to the school. Cloture
was imposed and a vote
taken. 1t followed strictly
party lines. The 10 House
pages voted for DR.. BraSk-
kamp. The five Senate pages
present voted for DR.. Harris
and were joined by the three
Supreme Court pages. The
final tally was Braskamp, 10;
Harris, 8.
Then DR.. Crofoot (the boys
call him "Doc"D set the vote
aside on a parliamentary
technicality. But DR.. Harris
chaplaincy of the school is
in danger, as long as the
Senate keeps going around
the clock.

Rambler
Is No 10
O'clock Scholar
By GEORGE KENNEDY
The Rambler'S alarm clock

The Rambler's alarm clock
went off early yesterday.
He was going to school.
He made 1t, too-checked
in at 6:28, two minutes to
spare, no demerit for tardi-
ness.
Time had turned backward
in its flight, or made an early
start or something, in order
to let him make believe he
was a boy again and spend
the morning attending
classes at the Page School on
the Hill.
This is the school for the
pages of the House and Sen
ate and Supreme Court. 1t
is located in the attic of the
Library of Congress.
The Rambler remembered
that Henry L. DeKeyser, the
principal of the school, had
once told him things were
difficult when Congress was
holding late sessions. So he
decided the round-the-clock
sessions of the Senate called
for a visit to the school.
1t will surprise no one that
he was more fatigued by
getting up so early than were
the kids, who had been up
most of the night fetching
black coffee for filibuSterers.
Mr.. DeKeySer, who looked
like Mr.. Chips in the early
part of his career, said the
school was getting along
pretty well.

Telephone operators on duty

In many cases the operators
took it upon themselves to tell
the callers to stay at home
that conditions were too rough.
At 8 am. the official word
was given by District Engineer
Commissioner A. C. yelling
that all Federal and District
agencies were to remain open.
Despite the heavy snow. tele-
phone and power lines APP
parently were not affected.
Both the Potomac Electric
Power Co. and the Virginia
Electric Power Co. reported no
troubles.
Telephone users occasionally
had to wait for dial tone. A
spokesman for the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Co. ex-
planned that with everyone try
ing to dial at once, signals
are delayed. This is a usual
result when a storm breaks,
the spokesman said.
At midnight last night, flremen
had to pull George Diamond, 36,
of 1415 North Capitol street out
of the snow at Morgan and Kirby
streets NV He told them he
yelled for help for As minutes

Nearby areas of Maryland

Not only schools in the ad-
joining areas were closed, but
those in Loudoun, Fauquier and
Prince William counties in Vir-

erick, Charles, st. Marys and
Calvert counties in Maryland.
Evidently motorists were
needing the no-travel admoni-

reported traffic accidents below
the number normally expected
under such adverse conditions.
Area store managers reported
everything seemed to be get

of sparse business, but to en-
