Gulf Coast Stales
Whipped By Severe
Snow, Rain Storms
By UNITED PRESS
A storm centered over the
Gulf coast today whipped Texas
again with snow and freezing
rain and unleashed thunder
storms eastward to the Atlantic
coast. .
Some letup was forecast for
the Texas Panhandle which ex
perienced its worst winter storm
with 10-foot snow drifts piling
up from an 11-inch snowfall.
The blowing snow and cold,
blamed for. 17 deaths in Texas
and New Mexico, nearly trapped
100 or more persons near Plain-
view, Tex., Friday night. Only
quick rescue efforts by the Na
tional Guard and highway pa
trolmen prevented motorists
from becoming stranded in sub-
freezing temperatures.
The National Guard used
trucks .to bring the travelers to
safety after the record snow bog
ged down about 75 automobiles,
three buses and several trucks
a few miles outside the city lim
its. Schools Closed
The storm disrupted some
communications, closed many
schools and made travel nearly
impossible in nearly two-thirds
of the state the past three days.
- More than 13 inches of snow
was on the ground at Carlsbad,
N. M. 'Herds of valuable cattle
were threatened on the open
range and schools had to close.
; Forty-eight-hour rains to the
northeast brought on by the
storm caused about 100 families
to flee from their homes along
the Forked river at Dyersburg,
Tenn. Flood warnings were post
ed at : Fayetteville, Shelbyville
arid Knoxville, Tenn.-
'. Generally fair weather pre
vailed over most of the rest of
