Wintry Air Mass
Continues to Coyer
Portion of Nation
By UNITED PRESS
A mass of wintry air continu
ed to clasp a large chunk of the
nation in its frosty embrace Sat
urday. Practically the entire Eastern
half of the country shivered as
it dug out from an uncomforta
bly blanket of snow.. Although
the storm, which dumped large
quantities of snow on a swath of
land from Colorado to the East
Coast, appeared to be dying out,
residents of Erie, Pa., where suf
fering the after-effects by the
worst snowstorm in ten years.
Chicago was sprinkled Friday
by a freak snowstorm that left
a six-inch coating on the city's
South Side, but barely stroked
the northern end. Much of the
snow hardened with an icy coat
ing in the midst of a sudden cold
front which swept the mercury
down to 10 degrees above zero.
Snow Expected
More snow was expected over
the Great Lakes area today, but
New England was also to be the
recipient of flurries. New Mexi
co and Arizona had forecasts of
light snow.
Colder air accompanied the
snow into the lakes regions, but
the Northern Plains warmed up
today, as did the upper and mid
dle Mississippi Valley. The chil
ly air extended through the Ohio
Valley, down into the Carolinas
and Georgia.
The Erie snowfall, which piled
up from two to three feet on the
ground, caused Mayor Arthur
Gardner to declare a state of
emergency for the city. Rescue
workers, aided by helicopters
and National Guard tanks, dis
lodged victims and cleared paths
along blanketed roads.
Other freak snow falls piled
up one to two feet near lakes
Erie and Ontario. Carthage, N.
Y., squirmed under a 40-inch
load dumped Friday.

Egyptians Seek New
Cotton Markets'
Cairo (U.R) The Egyptian
government has drafted a re
vised foreign trade program to
find new markets for cotton
previously exported to Britain
and France.
Minister of .Commerce Mo
hamed Abdu Nosier said Britain
and France were being com
pletely dropped from the pro
gram and the gaps filled with
schedules for other countries.

played the soundness of a pro
gram that did not rely too heav
ily on only a few markets.
Figures released for the first
three weeks of November show
ed that Italy, the United States,
Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Ro
mania, Austria, West Germany
and Yugoslavia topped Egypt's
cotton export list in that order.

With Committee
San Francisco (U.R) The
National Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association, AFL
CIO, severed its affiliation with
the AFL-CIO Maritime Commit
tee Friday and angrily accused
the National Maritime Union of
"refusing to honor traditional
trade union obligations."
The charge was made in con
nection with contracts covering
manning of ships chartered by
the American Coal Shipping
Co., formed recently by John L.
Lewis' United Mine Workers,
several coal producers and rail
road companies.
The MEBA said it dropped out
of the committee because it "can
not in good conscience continue
its association of almost two
decades with the NMU within
the AFL-CIO Maritime Commit
tee." Licensed Officers
The MEBA represents licen
sed officers. ";
The MEBA announcement
said that after several weeks of
negotiations for a contract with
the shipping company, the ua
ion learned that the company
had worked out a contract with
the UMW's District 50 'division
which it describes as a "catch
all" local on behalf of deck and
engine officers.
Meanwhile, the MEBA
charged, the NMU negotiated a
contract covering licensed per
sonnel. But now NMU President
Joseph Curran refused to sup
port MEBA picket lines thrown
up at the shipping company of
fices, the MEBA said.
The MEBA said the dispute
would have no effect on the West
Coast unless the shipping com
pany attempts to take some of
its Liberty ships from the Pa
