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.

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.
