Weathermen, however, warn ed that another low pressure front moving into" west Texas would draw" warm gulf air over the cold air mass possibly pro ducing the same kind of weather that buried the area under the worst snowfall in years. Residents of dozens of South west towns used what might be a brief lull to dig out from the record snowfall.

Disaster Insurance Program Proposed Washington (U.R) Two Dem ocratic senators plan to ' intro duce legislation for a $3,000,- 000,000 federal disaster insur ance program to protect private homeowners and industrial sites. The measure is much broader than that proposed by the Eisen hower administration. Sens. Herbert H. L e h m a n (D- N.Y.) and John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) are main sponsors of the bill. Eight other Democratic senators have signed as co-sponsors. Lehman and Kennedy said similar legislation will be intro duced in the House. The measure provides for a $3,000,000,000 program of gov ernment insurance and reinsur ance against the risk of flood and flood-related disasters. It also calls . for - a federal . study of the possibility . of extending the program to cover other types of disaster. Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) one of the bill's co-sponsors, said he also favors tax revision to help families and businessmen who suffered flood losses. He said recent floods in the North west and West show the legisla tion is "badly needed." Among the sponsors . of the bill is Democratic Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (Ore.). Ladjinsky To Be Out Of Government Soon ' ' Washington (U.R) - Wolf Ladejinsky, the out-again, in again land reform expert, will be out of the government again soon. .' ' He was fired Saturday be cause of a private business deal conflicted with his government duties as a foreign aid expert in Indochina. Ladejinsky was told to clean up his affairs and come home as soon as 'possible. That probably will take several weeks. ' The action apparently ends the government career of the controversial Russian - born of ficial whose firing as a security risk and subsequent rehiring set off a storm of protests in 1954. The International Cooperation Administration announced that Ladejinsky was asked to resign for action " contrary to conduct expected of any federal . em ployee." There is an easy and safe way to measure the armhole when knitting a wool garment. To measure the armhole accurately, mark the row of knitting on which the very first stitches have bene bound off for the arm-, hole by running a contrasting colored thread through it.
