Winds, Blizzards Rip Country
By UNITED PRESS
Blizzards, winds end floods of
spring left thousands of persor
homeless and more than 30 dead
across the nation today. Damage
was counted in the millions of dol
lars. The young season's first storm
whipped Into eastern Canada after
. burying the Midwest under a bliz
aard, sending wind storms and tor
nadoes whistling through the Ohio
Valley, and unleashing some of the
worst floods In a half century on
the South.
But a new major snow storm
roared Into the Dakotas and parts
of eastern Wyoming early today,
There was six inches of new snow
in northern Wyoming and winds
were rising In the area.
A United Press survey showed
that the spring storms had claimed
at least 33 lives in 14 slates. Traf
fic accidents on Icy highways killed
16, while seven drowned in flood
waters, four died in tornadoes or
wind storms, and exhaustion, ex
posure, and electrocution claimed
two lives each.
Spring Outdoes Winter
Spring was only three days old,
but Its storms had already out
done winter in viclousness and de
: structlvencss.
Broken down by areas, this is
what the first three days of sprint;
had done to the nation:
The Midwest: Drifts wore 10 fret'
deep in northern Indiana and more
than 14 inches of snow hit Wis
consin's Fox River Valley. Dam
age was estimated In the millions
In Michigan, where 70 mile-por-hour
winds blew in hundreds ol
windows and drove waves from
Lake St. Clair into Fair Haven
homes. Hundreds of flooded - out
families were receiving care at the
Fair Haven firehall.
The South: Torrential rains
swelled flood waters in Mississippi,
Alabama, und Tennessee, and 2,000
persons were already homeless.
Red Cross disaster teams moved
in along Mississippi's Tombigbec
River to evacuate lowlanders liv
ing in the path of the worst flood
crest In 50 years. A convoy of
National Guard trucks went to Co
lumbus, Miss., with equipment to
care for 600 families.
Ohio "WlndLnshod"
The Ohio Valley: Damage was
estimated in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars In Ohio after winds
hit 70 miles per hour and a tornado
lashed east Masillon. Western
Pennsylvania and northern West
Virginia were also hard It. A tor
nado killed a man at West Chester,
Pa., and winds of almost 60 miles
per hour smashed in windows in
downtown Pittsburgh, Pa., hotels
and suburban homes.
The Southwest: The cold wave
proved a boon to parched farm
lands, out was a death blow o
Texas fruit crops. The north Texas
peach crop was a total loss and
damage to plum trees was expect
ed to be as bad.
Humans weren't the only ones
to feel the storm's fury. The birds
had it almost as bad.
At La Porte, Ind., freezing rain
iced the wings of a flock of robins.
They lied up an intersection until
they Were able to hobble off on
foot.
At Huusonville, Mich., 100 star
lings sought shelter next to a gen
erator. They caused a short circuit
which killed them.
Approval Given
By Committee
SALEM (UP) The Senate Judi
ciury Committee headed by Sen.
Wurren Gill (it-Lebanon) passed
out favorably yesterday a measure
to permit 18-year-olds to vote.
The measure, a resolution intro
duced by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R
Salem), would bo referred to the
people if Senate and House pass it,
as 'it involves a constitutional
amendment.
Georgia is the only slate so far
to extend the vote to citizens 18
years old.
The present voting age in Oregon
is 21.
At an earlier hearing, teenagers
spoke both for and against the
measure, the argument for being
that many lS-yoar-oms now are
married and earning a living, and
rmylng Inxes without representa
tion; and the argument against
being that those under. 21 arc loo
emotionally Involved to vote."
pill. Clarifying
Radar Law Kept
Alive at Salem
SALEM (UP)-The bill to clarify
the law on radar speed detection
devices was kept alive In the
House Highways Committee yes
terd'iy by adoption of an amend
ment to require cities using the
1 devices to post warning signs.
The controversial radar bill was
sent back to committee Saturday
when lawyers on the Door attacked
it on constitutional grounds.
I At the end of a four-hour hearing
yesterday, the committee also vot
ed to send back to the floor of the
House a bill increasing the speed
limit on trucks from 45 to 55 miles
!an hour. That bill was also re
turned to committee Saturday by
numbers who felt 55 was too fast
for log trucks.
The committee disagreed and
sent the bill back without change.
Another speed Issue before the
commit tee was the proposal to
establish a maximum speed law
for state highways within city
limits. At present, those highways
come under the basic rule provi
sions that apply on all state high
ways in Oregon.
Rep. Al Loucks (R-Snlem) told
the committee that a hard and
fast speed limit within cities would
be a lifesaver and would do more
to slow down speeding teenagers
than any other move the Legisla
ture could make. He asserted that
police now hestitate to make ar
rests for speed violations because
of all the considerations and items
of proof that are required to ob
tain a conviction for violation of
the basic rule.
R. H. Baldock, stale highway
engineer, opposed the bill, saying
that there was a danger in having
two types of speed laws apply to
different parts of state highways.
Oregon Highway Llfesavers sup
ported the bill but their spokes
man, Marshall Dana, said the
organization was opposed to elim
ination of the basic rule for the
open highways.

this one are being made for the Navy at Westinghouse Electric's
Sunnyvale, Calif.; plant. Built for automatic, split-second Sring,
the huge guns are capable of downing enemy bombers or planes
in a suicide dive on the ship. Barrels are not made at the plant,
so a short barrel with counterweiehled tio is used for balancing.
Indians Study In U.S. Schools
WAST1INGTON (UP) More
than 1,800 Indian students are be
ing educated in American col
leges and universities, India's em
bassy announced.
Muni Lai, India's director of in
formation service, said approxi
mately 80 per cent of these stud
ents are studying sciences in or
der to take part in India's vast
economic and technical develop
ment program.
'Two hundred are on scholar
ships," Lai added, "while the rest
are financing their own education."
The greatest concentration of
Indian students is in New York
City. More than 300 study there.
Michigan and California come
next.
Pre-college age Indians also are
being educated in the United
States.
"Among embassy personnel
alone, 25 children are enrolled in
the school system in Washington,"
Lai said.
About half of these attend pub
lic school; the others are in pri
vate schools.
LONDON (UP) The National
Executive Committee of the Brit-:
ish Labor party gave a reprieve!
to Aneurin Bevan today at a
meeting called to discuss whether
to oust him from the party.
The committee which met to
consider his ouster did not expel
him.
Instead, the Executive Commit-j
tee decided to set up a special
subcommittee of eight members
to interview Bevan and explore
his attitude.
The parliamentary Labor party,
consisting of Socialist members of
Parliament, last week withdrew
the whip from Bevan in the House
of Commons. This made him a
political outcast, isolated without
party recognition, m the Mouse
of Commons. .
Today the 28-member Executive
Committee of the party met to
dec.ide whether to expel Bevan
from the party itself.
Expulsion would " have widened
the major split which already has
torn the party by Bcvan's dis
missal fr8m Labor's parliament
ary group.
A grim, unsmiling Clement Atl
lee, as ex-officio member, met
with the Executive Committee as
it considered whether to punish
Bevan for challenging . Attlee's
moderate leadership at a time
when the Conservative govern
ment is threatening to call a gen
eral election.

More people coming in every day to see, sit in,
sample and select the '55 Buick of their choice.
More people than ever before in our history.
That's why you see so many new Buicks on the
road today. And that's why to meet this un
precedented popularity Buick production has
been boosted to the highest levels of all time.
Buick Sales Are Soaring
The simple measure of it all is this: Buick is so
"hot" an automobile that it now outsells all other ears
in the United States except two of the best-known
smaller cars. And for reasons sound, substantial
and thrilling.
Buick styling, you sec, was never so crisp, clean,
distinctive. Buick horsepower was never so high
Buick interiors never so rich Buick's great
ride never so satin-smooth dnd steady.
But there's something else, too something
vastly different and exciting.
Never before was then any motoring thrill like tht
thrill you get from Buick's spectacular new Variable
Pitch Dynafiow.'
It lets you do what a pilot does-switcb the pitch
of your driving propellers-one way for gas sav
ing in cruising -another way for instantaneous
acceleration and getaway.
Your propellers are inside the Dynaflow unit,
spinning in oil. You change their pitch merely by
pressure on the gas pedal. You get action that was
never in any earth-bound vehicle before.
No wonder we're writing up orders and selling
Buicks at a rate that's making this the biggest
year in Buick history.
And no wonder-when you see our price tags
that more and more people can afford the price
of a new Buick.
l or all the way up the line-front the budget-priced
SrF.ClAL to the custom-built Roa DM ASTER each
Buick is a stand-out buy in its field.
Why not come in for a visit this week and get a
down-to-earth look at the hottest Buick in history ?
