Happy
Cold Wind Marches in Annual
EasterParade at New York City
By Henrietta Leith
NEW YORK, April 9 -W- Bowed heads and pinched-looking
far were in fashion on Fifth Avenue today as a .cold north wind
mst the traditional Easter style parade.
The crowd along the avenue was noticeably smaller than in past
Tears and went home much sooner1,. Police estimated it at 1,000,000
comparea to i,ouu,uuu iasi year.
It was cold in the low 40s
even around noon. . The wind was
strong' and bitter.
I But the church-goers swarmed
In undiminished numbers into St
Patrick's the Roman Catholic
cathedral, and St Thomas', St
Bartholomew's and other fashion
able Protestant churches.
Watt in Lonr Lines
-At the big Catholic cathedral
they waited in long lines outside
to the cold many just to walk
through the church after the last
mass. .
Earlier, In Central park tome
1,200 persons had gathered shiver
ing on park benches, with traces
of last night's surprise snow still
on the ground, to hear the annual I
ai'-auons jasrer sunrise service.
The spring fashion parade on
the avenue was one mostly of furs
: and topcoats. The coats hid the
' gay colors of spring suits j . and
dresses.
. Ortfy the ever-present beflower
ed hats brightened the scene, and
there seemed fewer of those than
usual. i
Man la Straw Hat
A man In a straw sailor with a
brightly striped band stood out
like a beacon on the corner by St
Patrick's. i
Bishop Alfred J. Gummer, visit
faif from Australia, stood on the
steps of the cathedral with other
Catholic officials, looked over the
crowd and remarked:
Ithows that the old faith Is
till alive in the greatest city In
tbm world." I
But many paraded with other
than religious motives.
Models carried hatboxes adver
tising their firms as they strolled
along, attracting attention by
their bright costumes. Some led
dogs, and often the dogs were
dressed up too.
Carries Rabblta
.One young woman carried two
white rabbits, telling everyone
who would listen that the rabbits
were named "Agnes" and "Sol"
and she was named Betty Reiily
and was a singer. 1
A band of eight teen-aged
youths sported "root" suits in
Easter egg colors chartreuse,
fold, and bright green.
In the crowd were actresses
Gloria Swanson and Anna May
wong ana actor uene Lockhart
Television men stood on street
corners to seek out celebrities and
get them in front of the cameras,
but they found few. Most were
staying inside and keeping warm.
Survey to Tell
Effects of Dry
Spell in Plains
By Ovid A. Martin
wACMiNOTON. ADril 9-(j?VA
government crop survey will give
an idea tomorrow uw ui
dry weather in the western plains
h tnken out of this year's pros
pective winter wheat crop.
The survey oj w si.iuiu.
j.ii4in.nt' iron reoortine board
is expected to show some reduc
tion! from the nrsi ana omj
ficial forecast of 884.65o.00U Dusn-
els ! made last DecemDer.
year's winter wheat crop was 901,-
668J00O bushels.
Drought-like conditions in
western areas of Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas accompanied
h. hoavv dust storms have
greatly reduced production pros-
pects in tnose lmporiani wucai
areas.
There is no danger, however,
of shortage of wheat- To be
oHHh tn the winter croD will be
a spring crop which might well
approach 300,000,000 Dusneis ana
a reserve of more than 400,000,000
hushels from last year's crop. No
estimate of the spring crop will
be given Tomorrow.
A Kunnlv of 1.000.000.000 bushels
would be ample to meet the na
tion's domestic and prospective
export needs for the year ahead.
Thus should the winter wheat
crop drop to as low as 750.000.000
bushels and the spring crop be
250,000,000 bushels, there still
would be a reserve of 400,000,000
bushels.
The decline In winter wheat
production prospects has been
accompanied by a shrinkage in
exports. Shipments abroad from
the j 1949 supply had once been
expected to exceed 400,000,000
bushels. Now they are being fore
cast at between 325,000,000 and
35OJ0O0.O0O bushels. ,
A W. Erickson, Minneapolis,
Minn., crop forecaster, recently
reported that unless it rains soon
in Texas, eastern New Mexico and
the; Oklahoma panhandle, produc
tion in that area would not aver
age! seven bushels to the acre.
In bumper years some lands in
this area have produced 50 bush
els! County Farm Agent Hoy Etling
at Garden City, Kans., estimates
the crop in that region now at
about 50 per cent normal.

Two of the Singleton quadruplets
died today at the age of one day.
. The deaths of Eva and Frances,
two of the . tiny children born
yesterday to the wife of a Bar

and Pearl appeared in good

of survival.

only a few hours - after the tiny
tots had received their names.
Shortly before the disastrous turn
for the two, all four had been
reported "doing very nicely."
Hospital attendants said the
condition of the mother. Mrs.
Mackie O'Neal Singleton, 33, was
good. She had been brought to
the hospital last night suffering
from a chill.
The babies were delivered in
less than an hour yesterday at
the home of Mrs. Singleton and
her husband. Homer, also 33.
Both parents, the hospital sup
erintendent said, are "bearing up
well under their bereavement."
The quadruplets were named
for their mother, maternal grand
mothers and the mother's step
mother. Air had been placed In
incubators under oxygen.
The Singletons already had six
children, the youngest four-year-old
twins.
