More Winter Weather
Due To Plague Texas
By UNITED PRESS

At least 30 persons were dead
in Texas, Oklahoma and - New
Mexico from the storm, which
finally eased and trailed north
ward. 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.
Streets were being cleared
slowly by crews working -. 24

Plainview, Amarillo and Lub

way. 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-,

colored thread through it. Place
the work on a flat surface and
with a tape measure or ruler,
measure straight ' up not
around the curve of the armhole.

Flat Noses Declared
Convenient for Kissing
Tokyo (U.R) A prominent
Japanese artist told the Japanese
today not to worry about their
flat noses because, for one thing,
they are "convenient" for kiss
ing. Artist Keiichi Takasawa was
commenting on the popularity
of plastic surgery among Japa
nese women to achlev a higher
"western type nose.
"Tt i a mistake to try to make
th nose alone higher," he said.
"Flat faces have their advan
tages. For one thing, they look
younger. Flat noses are more
convenient for kissing. - They
have stability and give a warm
impression.'.' .
