Homeowners are asked to limit cooking to the fewest possible ui its during the peak load: wash dishes and bathe after 6:30 p. m.; turn off all lights not needed and' restrict ironing and washing to morning hours. Commercial establishments are requested to reduce to a minimum all window display and ornament al lighting from 4:30 to 6:30 p. m and curtail use of air condition ing, refrigeration, electric signs and other electrically operated equipment.

Midwest Storm Abates; Leaves Sliip Grounded KANSAS CITY, Nov. 20 -oP) A late fall blizzard which para lyzed a large strip of the great plains area from eastern Colorado to Minnesota blew itself out to day, grounding a Lake Superior freighter in one final fling. Despite the storm's paralyzing fury, only three deaths had- been attributed to the blizzard as re lief workers reported that of the hundreds of persons - marooned only one definitely was known to be still missing. Many, however, still were in improved havens, safe from the weather, but in danger of Dou ble food shortages unless relief crews could break through drifts quickly. Western Kansas and Nebraska appeared to be hardest hit. There was no way of estimating damage and livestock losses. Most of the stalled trains were moving again slowly and hours late as snow plows battered pathways through drifts. Many stranded motorists ' were rescued by Santa Fe train -crews in the Dodge City-Garden City area. One of them, the Rev. R. W. O. Knowles, minister of the i First Methodist church In Garden City, said "I owe my life to Di vine guidance and the Santa Fe railway." GAS BREAKS BYPASSED SEYMOUR. Ind..

The American position was stated by U, S. delegate Philip C Jessup in the 58-member political committee of the United Nations assembly. In what he described as a pre liminary statement, Jessup fol lowed closely President Truman's dclaration of Oct, 24 that no re ductions in Israel's t e r r i t o r y should be made without full con sent of the Jews. I Jessup spoke during debate on the recommendations of Count Tolke Bernadotte. slain: U. N. mediator, which Britain is seek' ing to have the assembly approve. Jessup said the United States was in accord with Bernadotte's con clusions, with the exception of certain principles concerning boundaries. , This was a reference to Berna dotte's proposal that the Jews give up the Negev desert, assigned to them under the partition plan of Nov. 29, 1947, and keep western Galilee, which originally was as signed ' to the Arabs. This swap would reduce the sizt of Israel by about 60 per cent. . ' j Jessup said the United States supported Israel's claim to the boundaries of the original parti tion plan. He added, however, that. if Israel desires additional terri tory "it would be necessary for Israel to offer an appropriate ex change through negotiations." This was interpreted at a sug gestion for Israel either to re nounce western l ail lee, wnicn Israeli forces now hold ,or to offer some part of the Negev n exchange. j Today's Slatesmn .
