Is Too Much for
Store President

DENVER, Jan. 2 (AP).-
Almost as soon as Albert r.
Schumann went to work for
Gano-Downs departm e n t
store, he dreamed of becoming
president.
That was 1887. In the inter-
vening years he became con-
troller, then secretary, treas
urer, merchandising manager
and then vice president.
Two weeks ago, directors. of
the fashionable downtown
Denver store elected him pres
ldent.
Almost Immediately, the
strain began to show. His
wife said Mr.. Schumann, 54,
was starting to look overly
tired.
He slipped away from guests
at a New Years Eve party at his
suburban home Saturday night.
After locking the door of his
bedroom. he shot himself in
the head. He died in a hos
pital yesterday afternoon.
The death was ruled a suicide
by Coroner Ken Raynie.

It was cold and snowy across
the broad areas of the northern
two-thirds of the Nation today.
Stormy weather which ham
mered sections of the northeast
on New Years Day diminished
during the night. Up to two feet
OF snow was reported in the
areas Of New York, near Lake
PulaSki-Pineville and Fulton

was hardest hit by the storm
and sharply curtailed travel on
highways and by air.
The snowstorm moved out of
New England during the night
but fairly heavy snow was
reported in Maine. Lighter
amounts hit Northern Vermont
but skies appeared clearing in

Light snow continued during

Bombs Power Is Secret
Secretary of the Army
Brucker said, The Davy
Crockett dwarfs in firepower
anything we have ever known
in the immediate area of the
battle line"
And, he said, troops can
carry it to any trouble spot in
the world in a matter of hours.
The Army declined to give
the weight of the Davy
Crockett warhead, but insisted
one man can pick it up.
The power of the Davy
Crockett is classified as secret.
However, it is understood to
be something less than l kilo-
ton (the equivalent of energy
released by 1000 tons of TNT)
This compares with 20 kilotons
for the first atomic bombs and
up to more than Is million
tons for hydrogen explosives.
"The warhead packs a tre-
mendous force yet has a small
enough effective radius that
using troops, nearby troops and
