Incomplete reports showed nearly two score storm totalities, with ship ping and air transportation partially paralyzed along the Atlantic coast and elsewhere. Trains and buses ran behind schedule. Automobile clubs received thous ands of calls from drivers needing help as their cars were marooned In heavy snowdrifts and Incapacitated by freezing temperatures. Traffic Crippled Breakdowns or delays In air, land and coastal shipping traffic marred the holiday by preventing untold numbers of scheduled family reun ions. Swift-freezing sleet resulted in hundreds of highway accidents and slowed traffic to a snail's pace. Washington, D. C, recorded seven Inches of snow In 24 hours more than fell throughout last winter. Eight Inches of snow blanketed metropolitan New York after a freak thunder and lightning storm, almost without precedent in cold weather. Weather bureau officials said It was the city's worst November snowstorm In 40 years. At 3 a. m., the temperature sank to 17.6 degrees, a new low for the date. Five fatalities were recorded in Jew York vicinity, and commuter trains on the New York Central were delayed. Flying schedules were un interrupted today, however.

Weather forecasts on the Atlantic coast generally called for fair and continued cold tonight with slowly rising temperatures over the week end. Upstate New York counted 11 dead, with 10 Inches of snow at Rochester, five each at Buffalo and Syracuse. Approximately 100 wheat-laden barges fought their way eastward through the barge canal, hoping to reach the open Hudson river before It freezes over. Bus Marooned Twenty passengers on an Albany New York bus were marooned for seven hours when the bus struck a drift near Selkirk, in Albany county. Owls Head, -he state's "ice box," re ported zero temperature over night. In New England, the storm's death toll mounted to 14 amid a snowfall ranging from two to 15 inches deep. The weather bureau sold a disturb ance of marked intensity was moving rapidly northeastward from a point of Cape Cod, Mass. In Boston harbor, no vessels ar rived and none sailed, with visibility at 400 yards. A 16-hour snowfall mantled New Jersey with 9 Inches. Hundreds of motorists abandoned their cars due to drifts. Huge drifts delayed motor travel south of Burlington, Vt., and train and bus service was three hours be hind schedule. The Concord. N. Y., weather bureau reported a 1 4 - Inch snowf al 1 . the heaviest storm in a 24-hour period In November since 1003.

Senator Reames said this morning i that "the death of Laura A. Bradley in Washington on Thanksgiving day removed one of Oregon's most noted pioneer woman. She was born in Jacksonville, Oregon, in 1857. Her husband, Jay Bradley, died In 1S93. leaving Mrs. Bradley to care for and educate their three children. She taught school in Jacksonville and here, and gave each of the children a university education. "Otto F. Bradley, a son. Is now In charge of the Community Budget for Boston, Mass.; the daughter, Mrs. Basil Manly, lives In Washington, D C. Mr. Manly Is chairman of the federal power commission, and has been a member of that body since its organization; her son, Lawson O. Bradley, lived for many years In Idaho, but Is again a resident of Med- ford. When we arrived In Washington. Mrs Manly and Mrs. Bradley were amcng the first to renew old ac quaintances. We found Mrs. Bradley Just as bright and keen and full of life and energy as she bad ever been "After our return to Med ford, she made very definite plans to fly here. and to attend the annual meeting of the Southern Oregon Pioneer associa tion at Jacksonville. Juirt before she was to have taken the plane she wrote Mrs. Reames expressing the be lief that she ought not really to un dertake the long Journey. She ex pressed great regret at not being able to attend. She was one of the oldest living native daughters, and her presence would have added great in terest to the occasion. Up to the very time of her death she retained pleasant memories of her associations here, and a real love for this country and Its tradi tions. All who knew her and of her will greatly regret her death." CHICAGO YARDS E IDLE CHICAGO. Nov. 23. (AP) For the fourth consecutive day. excluding the Thanksgiving holiday, a strike of CIO union yard workers tied up Chi cago's hiuge stock yards. No livestock quotations were available. Both sides prepared for a media tlon conference' with federal concur ators tomorrow. The union was de man ding a 40-hour week, overtime pay, written contract, closed shop and the check-off. The Union Stock Yard and Transit company, spokes men said, particularly opposes the closed shop and checkoff. Only 7.000 head of hogs, 3.000 cat tle and 8.000 sheep were received to day, nearly all being shipped direct to packers. The run waa H.ooo less than a week ago. The TJ. 8. department of agricul ture estimated 5.000 hogs would be received here tomorrow, BOO cattle and 2,000 sheep. 60 PER CENT OF TURKEYS SOLD Close to 60 percent of the turkey crop of the Rogue River valley was sold to the Thanksgiving trade and price prcepects appear better for the Christmas market, according to County Agent Robert. O. Fowler. The price rose two to three cents locally Wednesday as the demand grew. There was also a laak of tur keys in the California markets, par ticularly Los Angeles. The county agent believes estimates of the local turkey crop were high. It was esti mated as between 38,000 and 40,000 birds the same as last year. Growers will start fattening their fowls for the Christmas and New Years markets at once. Shipping is expected to start in about two weeks. Portland Produce PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 25.
