Temperatures as low as 20 degrees have been pre dicted for the higher valleys of the region. Moderate to heavy moisture has been forecast for Northwestern Oregon, with recurring rains pre dicted for the coast.

Snows cover wide area of east U.S. By Unitid Press International A wind-driven March snow storm stranded travellers and closed schools by the hundreds today from the Northern Plains to the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia. The latest in a dreary succes sion of snowstorms was stalled at midday along the Ohio River be tween Ohio and West Virginia. Snow fell as far south as Muscle Shoals, Ala., and warnings of 5 to 7 inches of snow were issued for part of Virginia, West Vir ginia and Maryland. Flood perils plagued parts of the Middle West. At GrayvUle, 111., repair crews fought seepage from the flooding Wabash River as they tried to repair a water main which cut off the water sup ply to the town of 2,250. The town's water tank was drained, 650 school children were sent home because of the emergency, and townspeople drove to nearby communities to get water. The storm had tragic overtones. Searchers on snowshocs came upon the body of a young woman near Glenwood City, Wis. It was feared she was Mrs. John Wing er, 20, St. Paul, Minn, who dis appeared with her husband after leaving a bowling alley at Glen wood City Saturday night Altogether, six deaths were blamed on the storm in Wisconsin and lake shipping was clogged by the storm. Two car ferries, one of them with a dead man re ported aboard, were stuck In the ice off the port of Milwaukee. Madras man hurt in crash Sp.clit to Th.

Nikita details farm failures of Russians MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev cave a failure-after-failure report of Sov iet farm production today and said material incentives micht be me cure. In a speech opening a Commu nist party Central Committee meeting in the Kremlin. Khrush chev listed lagging production in meat, grain and dairy products in many Soviet farming areas in cluding hii own prize project, the virgin lands, Moscow Radio reported. In his almost six-hour speech. Khrushchev dealt solely with a sharp critical appraisal of the nation's agricultural problems. He avoided foreign and inter-Communist affairs specifically, the ideo logical differences between Mos cow and Peiping presumably to deal with them in another speech tentatively scheduled for March 15. This latter speech is expected to be in connection with the cur rent election campaign for the su preme Soviet. The timing of his speech indicated clearly that he does not plan to attend the Ge neva 18-nation conference on dis armament which opens March 14, although the Soviet Union has ac cepted the U.S.-British plan to meet at the foreign ministers level shortly before that session opens. Failures Listed Khrushchev listed the farm failures after claiming "American imperialists are most of all alarmed precisely by the fact that the program of the Soviet Com munist party raises the task of creating Communist abundance." To support this claim of "abun dance" and to counter the farm report the Soviet premier gave an impressive recital of industrial successes. He said industrial gross produc tion over the past three years had grown by 33 per cent per cent above the seven-year plan target He said quotas for steel, rolled metal, pig iron and oil pro duction had been exceeded considerably."

Security forces and firemen raced through the city from one trouble spot to another, sirens blaring.
