Sunday, officially the last day of winter, nrougnt tnree to live incites of snow in Colorado, Western Ne braska and Western Kansas, with near blizzard conditions around Loveland, Colo.; a series of tor nadoes along the Missouri-Arkansas border; a windstorm so violent it blew down a circus tent at Uvalde, Tex., and a four inch rain that flooded Piedmont, Mo. Monday, the first day of spring, saw temperatures drop below freezing as far south - as Texas as snow sprinkled the southwestern and central great plains and upper Mississippi Valley. It drizzled in Chicago. The drizzle froze at Okla homa City. Local Freezing Record Makes Observer Dubious It's spring! That's what the cal endar says. It started shortly after 4 a.m. today. But the weatherman isn't so sure here. Weather figures for the month just don't indicate that it's leading up to spring. in fact, the weatherman says: "I just don't trust this March." so tar, he's naa good cause. There have been 21 mornings thii month. On 17 of them, tempera ture has been freezing or below. That included this morning's low of 30 degrees. And it compares to the normal of only four freez ing days In March. , More than that, with the month still uncompleted, there have been more freezing days than in either January or February and nearly as many as in December. In each of the two preceding months, irosty-mornings were ob served on 16 occasions. Normally, there are 10 in January and seven in February. In December, there were 19 freezes. March still has 14 days to catch up. The cold point came this month Sunday morning when the ther mometer skidded to 20 degrees. That was just one point off the winter's low of 19 on Feb, 19. This month's frosty days may be near a local record. The weath erman, scanning quickly through weather observations dating bacK to 1878, said he couldn't find a March with more cold mornings. But it was only a qui:k check. And, like he says, the month isn't over yet.

It is the President who is responsible for every reactionary in his political family and it is the President who Is responsible for the great damage that is being done to our economy by the depredation of big business leaders who have come, to dominate the White House," The senator said that monopolis tic combines have increased at a more rapid rate in the two years of the Eisenhower administration than in any two-year period in the last 50 years.
