J 0 HeavyThunderstorms, Snow Plagues Nation By UNITED PRESS A fast-moving snow storm swept out of the Midwest into the Ohio valley and the east to day, bringing sleet, freezing rain and nearly a foot of snow. The storm, spawned in New Mexico, moved nearly the length of the country in a little more than a day. It caused the Weather Bureau at Washington, in a special ad visory, to warn the Ohio valley and Applachian areas to brace for hazardous ice and snow. Heavy snow warnings were is sued for parts of Michigan, In diana and Illinois. Dumps Heavy Snow As the storm moved north eastward, it dumped heavy snow on much of the central plains and southern Midwest. At least 10 inches of snow was reported- at Ottawa, Kan.,- and just about that amount was ex pected today at Kansas City. Blowing and drifting snow, plus a band of sleet and freez ing rain, extended from North eastern Oklahoma to Missouri. Highway patrolmen warned mo torists off icy highways in Northern Oklahoma. Farther east, the storm spawn ed tornadoes and heavy thunder storms in Tennessee and Arkan sas. A tornado north of Conway, Ark., demolished four houses and injured two persons. Lightning Starts Fire A fire started by lightning during a thunderstorm destroy ed the Franklin, Tenn., High School 70 miles east of Memphis at a cost of $500,000. Severe storm and twister warnings were issued for a six hour period from Wasco, Tex., to Eldorado, Ark., and in East ern Texas. No damage was re ported from either spot. Fast-falling temperatures ac companied the storm. Readings in the lower plains states drop ped as much as 30 degrees. It was colder over the north ern plains and Minnesota with readings below zero over most of the area. Cutbank, Mont., with 19 be low zero, was the nation's ice box. ' Around Hollywood Ey ALINE MOSBY Urted Preu Correspondent :ff.- j Hollywood (U.R) Broadway star Carol Channing five foot eight, 38 sweater, booming voice and living proof that tall girls are sexy whirlwind e d into town for her first movie and is glad she's not the star of it. , Carol started here seven Aline Mosby years ago in a little revue called "Lend an Ear." When the show wound up on Broadway the statuesque blonde became a star, and later went on to even more triumphs in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." The movies at last have landed the deep-voiced comedienne. But in her film debut, "The First Traveling Saleslady," she ad- mits, Ginger Rogers really is the star. Admits Secondary Role "I'm awfully glad I'm not the main star," said Carol, a surpris ingly humble admission for this town "of usually over-sized egos. "For my first movie it would be dreadful to have the weight on my shoulders. Ginger is carry ing the whole load. I feel very understanding I know how I feel on the stage. "I play her sidekick, and I must support her. The star has to come Out all right, to look right. I know that well." Director ArtSur Lubin combed the male population of Hollywood to find some tower ing men who could look down on Carol. They finally came up with Jim Arnsss six foot five and Clint Eastwood, six foot four. Shifts to Broadway Carol's other try at movies was years ago when Paramount tested her. But shortly thereafter she was whisked off to Broad way, "and I never did hear what happened to the test." Since then she's been too busy being a musical comedy star on the stage and on TV to think of movies. The only way Ginger Rogers was able to snare Carol for "The First Traveling Saleslady" was when Carol's latest stage musi cal, "The Vamp," turned up its toes and died. "Ginger told m she and Mr. Lubin watched the notices. When they read the bad ones they said, 'Oh, good, now we can get Carol.' " . But Hollywood doesn't have her for long. After this film she's headed back for a musical revue on Broadway. Quiz Boy Gets Another Chance New York (U.R) A 14- year-olctehigh school honor sti dent gets another chance next Saturday to win a $100,000 tele vision jackpot because he was asked an incdrrect question. George L. Wright III, a schol arship student at St. Agnes Par ochial high school in Manhattan, correctly answered questions Saturday night about magic, . chemistry, baseball, Bach, and Benjamin Franklin. But George 4lwho lives in a tenement, was silent when asked the final ques tion about jazz. He was visibly disappointed when the quizmaster of the NBC show, "The Big Surprise," asked in the category of Jazz of The 1920s," , who wrote "Betty Co ed." George was surprised when a song he never heard of was used in the quiz. But after George left the stu dio Paul Fogarty, one of the composers of the song, telephon ed from Chicago. He said he and crooner Rudy Valiee wrote the song and it was copyrighted in -1930, -which took it out of the 1920s category. 4-H Club Gold Hill Sewing Club Third year 4-H Sewing club of Gold Hill met in the school sewing room Jan. 27. The meet ing wgs called to order by Diane Jore, president. Flag salute was led by Doris Golden, the 4-H pledge by Judith Higgins. The roll call was answered by giv ing the members' age. Hoesses for this meeting were the leaders, Mrs. Al Bea men and Mrs. John Jore. Hos tesses for the next meeting will be Doris Golden and Reba Tay lor. After the meeting was ad journed, the leaders assisted in cutting out and making garment protectors. Judy Force Reporter MoIIet Summons Cabinet Session ' Paris (U.R) Premier-designate Guy Mollet called the first meeting of his Socialist dominated cabinet to go over the speech by which he hopes to win National Assembly ap proval of his 13-man cabinet to morrow. No time was set for the meet ing, but the Socialist party lead er said he would devote the greater part of the day to com pleting his investiture speech. Observers said he would try to woo the Popular Republicans (MRP) and possibly antagonize the Communists. Mollet did not make public the names of his cabinet mem bers but it was understood he had named former Algerian Gov ernor General Gen. Georges Ca troux as minister resident in Algeria, the first time France has had such a minister. Sources close to Mollet said he had picked Socialist Chris tian Pineauas foreign minister. Pineau is regarded as having a "European outlook," favoring the Atlantic alliance and Euro pean unity. Pierre Mendes-France, a mem ber of the Radical Socialists, was reported to have wanted the post but Mollet did not give it to him because he wanted to win support of the Catholic MRP. It was considered likely that Mendes-France would be a min ister of . state without portfolio and a deputy prime minister who would devote his time to the Algerian problem. Forecast Rise In Employment Soon Washington U.R) The Labor department forecast Sat urday employment will rise by mid-March in about two-thirds of the nation's 149 major indus trial centers. It said the rise would follow the usual mid-winter slump. Job increases are expected during the next two months in most durable goods industries except automobiles, in several soft goods industries and in trade and construction, the depart ment said. In auto factories, the depart ment said, the outlook is "un certain." Some automobile cen ters expect further "minor" job cutbacks but most foresee little or no change from current job levels over the next few months, it said. The department predicted the aircraft industry will replace the auto industry as the "primary impetus" for the expected rise in employment in durable goods factories over the next few months. It said the aircraft industry "has been increasingly stimulat ed" in recent months by new orders for jet and turbo-jet planes for civilian airlines. Philadelphia, lying at the junction of the Schuykill and Delaware rivers, is almost 100 miles, distant from any point on the Atlantic coast proper.
