Three Rockies-Plains Roads Clogged By Snowstorm 6-8 Inch Fall Forecast Across South Dakota ;And Minnesota Ry'THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ' A blustery snow storm blew out of the Rockies and into the Plains Thursday leaving icy and snow clogged highways over a wide area. " Heavy snow warnings were is sued for parts of South Dakota and central Minnesota where the blan ket is expected to pile up from 6 to 8 inches deep. North and northwestern Wisconsin was warned to expect 4 to 6 inches, Up to 3 inches of snow fell in parts of Omaha. An icy highway was blamed for the death of Mrs. E. P. Branham, 51, of Neosho, Mo. Her car skidded and overturned near Sheridan, Wyo. The storm left a snow carpet over Wyoming and northern and eastern Colorado, but was insuf ficient to relieve- drought condi tions. A foot of snow fell on Rabbit Ears Pass, 9,680 feet up in north western Colorado. A blast of arctic cold came in be hind the snow, sending the mer cury near the zero mark in parts nf Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Montana. West Yellowstone, Mont., was the nation's icebox with a read ing of 26 below. It was fairly mild with some showers in eastern sections. Strong, northwesterly winds moved the snow and cold cast ward. Hunt Cannery Here Expected To Shut Down The ; Salem plant of Hunt Foods, Inc., will be closed and will not be in operation at the opening of the next packing sea- son, according to a report that became current Wednesday. The report is that both the Sa lem plant and the one at Puyal lup. Wash., are being closed. The plant has been in opera tion for 42 years, or since 1914. i-nd has long been one of the vJwst important of the several fruit and vegetable packing plsnls in the community. For years its annual pack in cluded many items, but in the last two years it has packed only prunes and corn. Hunt Foods, Inc., operates sev eral plants and Frank R. Weis man of the headquarters city of Fullcrlon, Calif., is president nf the company. Warren Baker is manager of the Salem plant and Daniel E. Snyder office manager. Formerly the company was known as Hunt Bros Packing I company but the new name was adopted after a reorganization in Thursday morning, she said, bring- i much luckier than some ot his lor 1943.

The remain ing 17 were given first aid treat ment for minor injuries, mostly cuts and bruises. . One crewman was trapped for nearly an hour in the nose of the giant plane before he was res cued by firemen from Lowry and Stapleton Airfield, the- municipal airport. All But One Get Free By the time .crash crews reached the scene all of those aboard except chis one man had scrambled free of the fiercely burning wreckage. Rescuers using metal shears and a large mobile crane ripped open the nose section and re moved the trapped man, who then was flown to Lowry by helicopter. Firemen kept the flames away from the nose. The plane was attached to the Strategic Air Command and sta tioned at Ellsworth Air Force Base, Rapid City, S.D. SAC head quarters said a normal crew is 16 men, but it is not unusual to have extra personnel aboard. The plane landed at Lowry Wednesday because of bad weath er at Rapid City. Short of Runway by Mile Soon after takeoff Thursday morning, the pilot radioed he had run into trouble ami would try to get back to Lowry. Then realizing he did not have enough altitude to reach the air base, the pilot tried to make Stapleton but crash landed a mile north of the north- south runway. The B36 skidded along on its belly, the fuselage ' broke into three sections and the wings were sheared off. Some of the crew were able to get out unaided and helped to remove more seriously injured comrades as the bomber caught fire and flames spread to the fuel tanks. - '. , The crash was near a road that borders a residential area of small houses, but none of the dwellings was endangered. As the plane came down it sheared off several power poles and cut off electric service to a section of northeast Denver. Ammunition or other explosives in me Domoer were set olf by the fire and flying Iragments made rescue work hazardous. Loucks Won't Go to Senate Stale Representative AI Loucks of Salem said Thursday that he is not a candidate for appointment to the state senate to fill the va cancy which will be caused when Secretary of the State-elect Mark Hatfield resigns his senate seat. "At the present time I cannot afford to neglect my business in terests sufficiently to serve in the slate senate," Loucks said. "I will continue to work in the in terest of the Republican ticket on precinct level and in organiza tional work." Loucks' name has been men tioned among a number of others as a possible replacement in the senale of Hatfield. Blood Donors Flock To Aid Salem Youth A veritable "flood" of donors I operation in which Harvev's heart have volunteered the compara- lively rare O-ncgntivc type blood needed for a rare operation for a Salem youth, his mother reported Thursday. Mrs. Harvey K. Thurlwell said the telephone has been ringing al most constantly with oilers of blood and expressions of well wish ing since the scheduled heart op-! 'oration of Harvey Jr. has been publicized. A dozen otters of blood came in Wednesday night and -We're a liiite i,inhirrii,d about all the publicity we've been receiving." Mrs. Thurlwell said. "People are just wonderful. We've even had calls from persons who were contacting Iriends In Seattle to ask them to donate at the hos pital there where Harvey is to be operated on." The Red Cross o((ice here said they had many more than the re quired minimum 20 pints of blood i lor the operation volunteered. They ; will accept 30 lo 35 pints at i 27, the day before the scheduled City Works JS 1 PTT Asks 2nd Rate Increase In 3 Months A request for a second tele phone rate increase in three months has been filed with Public Utilities Commissioner Charles H Heltzel by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. Inasmuch as the first applica tion for higher telephone rates was suspended pending a public hearing, the latest filing serves as an addition to the original re quest. Elmer Bcrglund, Salem man ager, said his company is seek ing an additional $79,000 a month as the result of a final wage of fer made to the union and wage increases for other employes. The first application filed in September sought telephone rate increases- t bring the company revenues of about $186,000 a month. This would, if granted, result in increases from 20 to 35 cents a month on bills of most Salem home telephone subscribers. The last request, Berglund said, would not increase monthly rates but instead would be applied to increases in long distance calls within the state and some non-recurring charges such as those made (or new telephone installa tions or changes of location. will be removed lor "patching" a hole in the wall between two heart j chambcrs.

The state board of higher educa tion, some weeks ago, decided to submit a $14 million building pro gram, which will be in addition to the board of control institutional building needs. " " Anticipating completion of final working plans for the first unit of the new mental hospital near-Wil- rsonvillc during 1957, the board tentatively approved inclusion in the program an additional $1131.000 to the already appropriated $0,300.- 000 to cover the increase in build ing costs since the (irst appropria tion was made two years ago.

Premier Promises Elections, Halt ' Of Exiling VIENNA (UP)-Premier Janos Kadar of Hungary has promised to hold free elections "in the near future," the Communist-controlled Budapest radio reported today. ' The broadcast said Kadar also promised to open negotiations with "Titoist" Imre Nagy to possibly restore him as premier. Nagy's government was overthrown by the Soviet army ordered into Hun gary to crush the anti-Moscow re volt. . Kadar has been reported seek ing desperately for a solution to end the revolt. The shooting has stopped, according to reports, but passive resistance continues. The newest concessions came amid reports -that the general strike which has crippled Hungary threatened to spread ever further. Fires Stalinists Kadar, seeking to win popular support, fired 12 Stalinists from top Hungarian Communist Party posts Wednesday night. Trade union leaders have warned that the strike Weapon, more than the now-silenced guns of the freedom fighters, threatened national "suicide." Budapest radio reported Kadar was presented with an eight-point program Dy the central Hungarian Workers Committee Wednesday night and promised: 1. To hold ".'free and secret elec tions" in the near future. 2. To open negotiations with Na gy on his return as premier. 3. To admit all parties in prin cipal agreement -wiMt.th. Social ists. 4. To ' publish the Hungarian trade pact with Russia. -5. To stop Hie punishment and mass deportation of freedom fight ers. 6. To abolish the hated "AVH" secret police. Rejects Two Points Kadar, however, ejectcd the other two points: A demand for the immediate withdrawal of So viet troops and a declaration of Hungary's neutrality. The Budapest radio, quoting the official Communist Party newspa per Ncpszabadszag, said Kadar re ceived the workers delegation in Parliament Building. The program was drawn up by 500 Budapest workers at a meeting in the huge Egycsueult Isso electrical plant. Kadar told the delegation that Nagy "presently is slaying at the legation building of a foreign slate, therefore negotiations arc impossi ble at the moment." Nagy took asylum in the Yugoslav Embassy when the Soviet tanks moved into Budapest Nov. 4. The premier expressed his readi ness to open talks with Nagy "as soon as he will leave extraterri toriality and enter Hungarian soil."

Egypt Says; Volunteers Not Needed Ike Statement Quiets Russian Threat of Move-in as First . UN Contingent Lands LONDON (UP) A U.N. police force landed today in the Suez Canal Zone and Egypt announced the need for Soviet and Red Chinese "volunteers" no longer existed. Egyptian Ambassador Ahmed Abdel Razek and Syrian Min ister Ibraham Istuany said in Bonn, Germany, that Egypt and the other Arab states had Red Chinese offers to send volun-s leers to the fideast. Istuany and the Egyptian envoy to the West German government flatly staled that volunteers will not be accepted and that there is no necessity for them now that the fighting has ceased. But a new complication arose in Beirut, Lebanon, where a meeting of the leaders of eight Arab na tions demanded withdrawal of the Anglo-French and Israeli troops from Egypt today. They warned lhat the Arabs will take "effective measures to the maximum of their capabilities to enforce this." Precarious Truce . H appeared that U.N.

But the world or- ganization hoped their presence would dampen any spark that could start another war. Called For Volunteers The "crisis" was touched off when Arab sources in Moscow Wednesday said the Cairo govern ment had asked for the immediate dispatch of Soviet pilots and tank crewmen "volunteers" promised for weeks by Ihc Kremlin. The statement!! In Bonn today dispelled for the time being this immediate threat. I In Moscow itself the Egyptian Embassy imposed a complete blackout on news of Soviet volun teers and declined all comment on Wednesday's report. ' Soviet sources were just as mum as usual. But the Soviet press reported today without com ment a brief dispatch Irom Wash ington In which President Eisen hower said he opposed the uni lateral dispatch of armed forces lo Egypt. The two Arab diplomats said In Bonn this morning that any "vol unteers" who apply for assign ment to the Middle East will be turned back.
