Chicago has had 37.5 inches of snow to date this fall, and all-time record for so early in the season. A normal winter season, including November through February, averages only 33.4 inches. The city was battling a seri ous transportation problem and faced a cold wave tonight. Simi lar situations were reported in a number of midwestern cities. Two Storm Centers In Washington, hit by heavy snow and ice, District of Col umbia commissioners banned all cars without skid chains or snow tires from operating along 150 miles of heavily-traveled streets. Two vigorous storm centers were reported by the U. S. weather bureau today, one in the vicinity of Chicago, the second near New York City. The storms brought rain and snow over wide areas from the Mississippi valley eastward to the Atlantic coast. Snow fell over much of the Great Lakes region and the up per Mississippi valley and in northern New England. Rain pelted areas to the south and east, with heavy falls in the middle Atlantic states, and in some sections of the Atlantic seaboard. Southeast winds of nearly 40 miles an hour, with gusts of gale force, were report ed in New York City. Ruben Manashe to Manage Frosh Glee Ruben Menashe, freshmen from Portland, has been select ed to manage the annual Fresh man Glee at Willamette uni versity next March 29. Menashe was elected by fel low yearlings during balloting held this week. He is a former Grant high student body president. The Glee is one of the out standing student events of the No Change in Traffic Safety Oregon's chances for improv ing last year's traffic death record were all but gone today as 1951 road deaths reached an estimated 420, just seven short of the 427 killed during all of 1950. With 10 days of this year re maining and the holiday season still ahead, the state traffic safety division said the odds for a higher death count were overwhelming. Oregon traffic accidents have claimed an average of more than one life a day this year. The division said the average is al most certain to climb during the Christmas season's added dangers of congestion, winter weather and drinking. Careless or intoxicated pedestrains prob ably will add to the toll. The traffic safety division said records for previous years give plenty of warning of what to expect. A full display of heads-up driving and walking, plus a strong determination to avoid chance-taking could beat the odds. But the traffic safety division is not optimistic.

Frizes were presented bv Jim Beard, secretary-treasurer of the association. the allies assert the Reds may hold. The note did not reject the Red list of 11,559 prisoners. The Reds handed over that list Tuesday. 1000 GIs Unreported The U.N. note today said 'more than 1,000 of the U.N. personnel named as POWs" in earlier broadcasts by commun ist radios "are missing from the roster submitted Tuesday. Other new names have been used since then on Red China's official Peiping radio. They were broadcast with purported Christmas greetings from allied prisoners to the folks at home. The official Red roster named 3,198 Americans, 1,219 other U.N. soldiers and 7,142 South Koreans. The allies said they hold 132,472 Chinese and North Korean prisoners. To Meet Saturday Friday's U.N. note did not say how many of the unaccounted for 1,000 were Americans. The truce subcommittee on exchange of prisoners will meet Saturday for the first time since Tuesday. The question of what happened to the missing men undoubtedly will be the key to that session. The allied offer to withdraw from all coastal islands ' was made by staff officers to anoth er armistice subcommittee Fri day. A U.N. spokesman called it a major concession. "We are returning, without recompense, all islands formerly held by the communists," said Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols. 'We are giving tangible evidence of our willingness to compro mise. The reimbursement will be the communists' willingness to compromise." Mrs. Booth Host At Her Office One of the nicer affairs of tha pre -Christmas nonaay season was the "at home" of Mrs. Ag nes Booth and her associates of the office of county super intendent of public instruction Thursday afternoon. Offices of the department, lo cated in the Pacific building, were attractively decorated and variety of cookies, candies and similar articles was served to callers who included educa tors, county and state officials and friends of the gracious host. Whether suggestions put out by the press that other county officials might benefit by simi lar "at homes ' fell on deaf ears remains to be seen.

I've got a four-months-old baby and I needed more money. I was going to quit and try to get a better job. "My wife and I separated two and a half months ago and I had a nervous breakdown." The accused was noticeably shaky and wet-eyed during his brief court appearance. Hansen, 27, gave his address to state police as 771 South 21st street, Salem. He is held in the county jail in lieu of $500 bail.' Another guard, Duane A. Spence, 1596 Liberty street, was dismissed from duty during tha investigation for attempting to smuggle into the prison "unau thorized materials."
