Variety of Weather
Greets Coming of Spring
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The coming of spring today was
cold and soggy between the Rocky
Mountains and the Appalachians.
In its favor: It did not have the
violent storms that dotted the
Weather map yesterday.
Equinoctial storms, born of the
cold air which had moved as far
south as Texas, sprinkled snow
over the southwestern and central
Great Plains and upper Mississippi
Valley. It drizzled in Chicago. The
drizzle froze at Oklahoma City.
The rain belt stretched from cen
tral Oklahoma northeastward
through the central Mississippi
Valley and eastward through the
southern and central Great Lakes
region, northern Ohio Valley and
Into the central Appalachians.
Thunderstorms were bunched from
northern Louisiana to central Ken
tucky. Precipitation generally ranged
from an inch to an inch and a half,
but Tupelo, Miss., got 2.49 inches
in six hours. Snowfall to the west
of the rain area varied from a
trace to 2 inches.
Even so it represented modera
tion from the previous day's bois-.
terous exit of winter 3 to 5 inch
es of snow in Colorado, western
Nebraska and Kansas with near
blizzard conditions 'around Love
land, Colo.; a series of tornadoes
along the Missouri-Arkansas bor
der; a windstorm so violent it blew
down a circus tent at Uvalde, Tex.;
and a 4-inch rain that flooded
Pidemont, Mo.
The Tornadoes leveled several
farm buildings but did not strike
heavily populated areas. Only one
person was reported injured, al
though a family of four was re
ported missing.
The 400 persons watching the
circus at Uvalde escaped without
serious injury when the big top col
lapsed. Many of the spectators
were children.

WOODBURN The Interior of
the house at 157 Young street oc
cupied by the Johnny L. Gilbert
family, was gutted by fire about
9 p.m. Saturday. Thought to have

ing any personal possessions or fur
niture.
Three Woodburn trucks were
called and the blaze was brought
under control in about an hour.
Part of the loss was covered by
insurance, according to Gilbert,
and the damage was estimated at

Cain Admits Charge Not
With Proper Foundation
WASHINGTON IB Charges
that Mon C. Wallgrecn was "soft"
toward communism were not based
on "precise information," Harry
P. Cain said Sunday.
The former Republican senator
from Washington State, now a
member of the Subversives Activ
ities Control Board, added in an
interview he felt he acted "im
properly" in making the charges
without personal knowledge and if
he had it to do over again would
make the accusers "put up or shut
up."
The "soft" toward communism
charge was among several leveled
by Cain in 1949 during Senate de
bate on Wallgren's nomination as
chairman of the National Security
uesources Hoard.
Wallgren, a Democrat who for
merly was senator and governor in
Cam s Home state of Washington.
denied the charge. Later because
of Cain s stiff opposition. Presi
dent Truman, at Wallgren's re
quest, withdrew, the nomination.

cused Wallgren of being "soft" to

carefree spirit of
conviviality

cept lor the hay, it's got every
thing a hayride has, plus much
more.

tioned Greyhound Chartered bus

cih charter one bus or a hundred,
fnr an evoninff or for an entire
year. Furthermore, you can go
wherever you wish, whenever you
please, and make as many stops
as you desire. The bus will pick
up and discharge members of
your group it the central points

ment of the world's largest trans
portation system. And your
"chauffeur" also happens to be

person than regular lower than
low Greyhound fares. You may be
wondering what type of groups
use Greyhound Chartered Buses.
The answer is: Every imaginable
type. This includes clubs, lodges,
churches, schools, convention
groups, sports fans attending
games, military units, big "name"
bands and many more.
