Bitterly cold Arctic air froni the Yukon poured across the .northern tier of states all the way to Texas. Tempera tures dropped SO degrees In 24 hours. Highways were treacherous Ice lanes and big cities were buffeted by snow laden winds. Schools Closed The hallmarks of a major storm schools closed, cold records set, snows mounting w ere reported through much of the nation's western two thirds. In the East and South there was wintry rain and tornadlc collision of hot and cold air over Tennessee. The clash triggered a twister which tore through a mile long stretch of business dis trict in Springhill, Tenn. At least three persons were in jured and many homes and businesses were wrecked. The vicious weather played a direct role In the crash of two military planes in which eight persons were feared dead. Plane Crash in Alaska Seven men were presumed dead when a Navy patrol bomber skidded upon landing at the Kodiak, Alaska, Naval Air Station, which had been closed for two days because of bad weather. At Wichita, Kan., a B47 jet bomber crashed upon takeoff during a snow storm. The pilot was killed and two crew members were injured. Elsewhere, a rabbit hunter was found dead near his aban doned truck on the windswept South Dakota plains. The storm stopped the search for two light planes missing in Colorado with six persons aboard. Cold In Montana In the West, the tempera ture was 48 degrees below aero at 7:30 a.m. at West Yel lowstone, Mont., a record 18 below at Denver, 37 below - Butte, Mont., and 2 below at , Dalhart, Tex. It was bitter cold as far west as Oregon whore weathermen predicted possible all-time lows in the next few days. The big freeze came quick ly, dropping the temperature SO degrees almost overnight in Texas. In the midlands, biting north winds phurnod the snow into blinding swirls among Chicago's skyscrapers. Aban doned cars lined stretches of expressway leading into the city and troopers on Chicago area tollways banned house trailers because of the high winds. Snow fell on an overnight ice cover In Kansas City and traffic crawled over slick and dangerous expressways in Detroit. Foreign Briefs PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS DUE IN NYASALAND Blantyre.

Duncan Enjoying Experiences in Capital By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington - (Special) -Freshman Congressman Rob ert Duncan has a stack of mail to be answered and a skeleton staff, but he's exhilcrated just the same about the adventure in politics facing him in 1963. In the outer office, admin istrative assistant Jack Bill ings, in lonely splendor, was interviewing girls for the two secretaries the thrifty Scot thinks will be able to handle all his mail. Most Oregon House Members have three or four girls. Office in Eugene Duncan said he has an office In Eugene, run by attorney Cliff Oulette, to be open part time to handle constituent business. Future plans may include a part-time office in Medford as well. Duncan says he wants to keep close to the grass-roots, and area offices looked like one way of doing that. He said that it had caused him a real pang, but he had sold his law practice in Med ford because he didn t want to have any conflicting interests to divert him from his con gressional tasks. He faced a carton of mail to answer an j expected to hire a secretary within a day or so to dictate to. He said that in the interim between election and assuming office on Jan. 9 he had received a small moun tain of mail, and had hired public stenographers back home to help him with it. He suffered a mild shock when he got to Washington to dis cover that there were no funds provided to take care of this and it had to come out of pocket! Money Out of Pocket He was also taking money out of his pocket for house hold furniture too. Duncan had been staying in a hotel while wife Marijane and four of his six children were with relatives in New York. He had the house finding and furni ture buying responsibilities which caused him great grief and financial pain. The housing rental market In Washington Is hair-raising; he indicated that the asking price of $500 a month on furnished houses almost caused a faint, but he finally found a more modest rental house in suburban Silver Spring, Md., which he said was "42 minutes away from the Capitol." Duncan said he had spent several hundred dollars on beds "that ought to cost $150" but had neglected the little matter of tables to eat on, to the chagrin of his family. Hus band - like, he hadn't really checked the condition of the house and his wife found dirt cveryhwere, which she had to get right down to scrubbing. "And she left our house in Medford spotless too," he said ruefully, "then to have to find this. She looked in the oven here and slammed it shut, it was so dirty." Enjoying Experience But his eyes danced as he described the feeling of ex hileration he had experienced when leaving the Democratic caucus this week. He obvious ly is enjoying the experience, although for a new man in Washington it is hectic. Take the office and the need to fill it. Every freshman must buy his office furniture, sta tionery and the like out of an $1800 a session allowance and this disappears fast. But Dun can has Jack Billings, who worked for former Congress man Charles Porter, an ex perienced hand at locating old furniture and machines from departing Members. He also has about $1100 left on his district's account for office machinery - and this is hand ed down from one 4th District congressman to another. Bililngs said much of the equipment was pretty old and had to be replaced. He found a dictaphone into which he had placed a note "this needs overhauling" when Porter left office, which was there just as he'd left it. The offices also get $400 for airmail and spe cial delivery stamps, regular mail is franked (free), and three free electric typewrit ers. Billings, with Duncan's ap proval, will hire a secretary to take Duncan's dictation. She will keep his appoint ment book and see that he gets where he is supposed to be - no mean feat for busy congressman. She will screen his phone calls and see that visitors are well treated. An other stenographer will han dle routine mail. Billings, a former Eugenean, is primarily responsible for the office staff. He also helps Duncan with legislative mat ters, he sees constituents and lobbyists when Duncan is else where and takes care of office accounts. When the Congress man must attend more than one meeting, which frequent ly happens, Billings attends one for him. Every Congressman has about $40,000 a year for office help and what he doesn't spend goes back into the Treasury. He is allowed 80, 000 units for telephone and telegraph use each session and after this is spent he pays. A unit is one telegraph word or one telephoned minute. Bill ings keeps track. Assignments Waited Duncan's committee assign ment remains to be settled. The fact that Rep. Al Ullman represents the northwest on the Committee on Committees within the potent Ways and Means Committee should be a help in getting him a good scat. They appoint Members to committees and freshmen, ranking lowest on the totem, take what the veterans give them. Duncan expressed apprecia tion that Dr. Edwin Dumo had turned over to him on going files on District matters when he left office, which al ways helps a newcomer break ing in. Duncan's older children are in Oregon, Nancy, 18, is at Willamette University and Angus, 16, stayed in Medford. David, 12, Janie, 10, Laurie, 9, and Bonnie Dee, 18 months, are with their parents in Silver Spring. Duncan said as he left the house the day after their arrival he told the chil dren to be especially kind to their mother because he was afraid she was a little home sick. "Who isn't homesick?" sighed David. The Washington landscape is pretty dismal at this time of year. Over 500 Bills Being Readied for State Legislature Report Information Is Confidential Portland-Information furn ished by an alien in making his annual address report to the government is confidential. According to Alfred J. Ur- bano, district director of the Portland Immigration and Naturalization Service office, the information furnished by aliens in reporting their ad dresses has been declared con fidential by statute. The reports must be sub mitted during January each year by all aliens in the United States, with few ex ceptions. Forms on which to submit the reports are avail able at any post office or of fice of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Per sons who are unable to pick up a form because of illness, or other reasons, may have a relative or friend obtain a card for them. The card should be return ed to one of the offices. Parents or guardians of aliens under 14 years of age submit reports for such chil dren. ASSESSORS CONVENE Bend -HW - Some 100 per sons were present as the East ern Oregon Assessors associa tion opened a two-day confer ence here Thursday. Salem-UIPH-The matters ex pected to occupy the 1963 Oregon legislature - and the surprises - were getting final touches today in a small block of offices nearly overlooked in the bustle of preparation elsewhere. More than 500 bills were being readied for introduction in the offices of the Legisla tive Counsel on the fourth floor of the Capitol Building. The offices have been hum ming with activity for months. Business took a surge in De cember when legislators flocked to Salem for a three day conference and took the opportunity to submit their request for bills. Steady Stream This week, there has been a steady stream of requests as senators and representa tives arrive. Legislative Counsel Sam Haley, who has been manag ing the office since it was created a decade ago, says the bills range from taxes, elec- PRACTICE New York-il'PP-Jcrry Scott, 22, who is working his way through New York Medical college by playing the piano at the Wcsthampton Bath and Tennis club on Long Island, says "I always scrub before sitting down at the piano."

Parks Director Marry Buckley said today. tions and workmen's compen sation to health and welfare, education and a new state con stitution. Haley and his staff of eight draft some 60 per cent of the measures introduced. In ad dition to more than 500 now in the works, Haley expects some 300 or 400 requests in the next few weeks. The rest of the measures that turn up in the session will be drawn up by the law makers themselves, groups or individuals. Last session. 1,432 bills were introduced and 726 be came law. Works With Committees The primary job in Haley's office these days is to draft bills requested by a legisla tor. These requests, however, may originate with a private group or individual. Haley's office also works with legis lative interim committees and with other state agencies. In an effort to speed action on this session's top problem, sonic 100 budget bills arc nearly ready for introduction. One of the major tasks be ing conducted by the Legis lative Counsel is researching the possibilities of a special tax election during the ses sion. Such an election has been proposed by Gov. Mark Hat field. Haley said his office IS looking into how such an elec tion might be handled, the type of bill that would be needed, and the forms in which tax proposals could be placed on the ballot. Los Angclcs-OiPD-The Sur veyor spacecraft has been given highest priority to take television pictures of the moon and pave the way for landing U.S. astronauts on its surface. Dr. Abe Silyerstein, direc tor of the National Aeronau tics and Space Administra tion's Lewis Research Center at Cleveland, Ohio, said Thurs day the government feels it is "very urgent" to get the un manned spacecraft on its moon mission set for early 1965. Silverstein said the Sur veyor project, now under de velopment, had been given "DX". priority, "the most ur gent priority that ' exists in the nation's aerospace pro grams." "Ground testing on Survey or engines will begin next year with flight expected early in 1965," Silverstein told a news conference in re porting on NASA's stepped up space efforts for the coming year. He said "much heavier grounds tests" would be giv en Centaur, designed as the upper stage of the Atlas rock ket that will launch Surveyor. "These grounds tests will be the most intensive ever used in any space program be- Budget Message Due on Thursday Washington -IUPII- President Kennedy will submit his 1.964 budget to Congress Thursday, Jan. 17, the White House has announced. Kennedy's annual economic report will be submitted to the lawmakers Monday, Jan. 21, rounding out his first group of messages. The chief executive will de liver his State of the Union Message Monday. White House Press Secre tary Pierre Salinger said he did not have a date for the President's special tax mes sage. But he said he looked for it to go to Congress before the end of this month. BIDS TO BE OPENED Portland -IUPU- Bids for the Green Peter dam and power houseiwill be opened March 19, Army Engineers said Thursday. The dam will be constructed on the middle San tiam river. fore," the NASA official said. Silverstein said Centaur is important to the nation not only as the vehicle which, along with Atlas, will carry the Surveyor spacecraft to the moon, but also as a pioneering effort in liquid hydrogen fuel technology. Liquid hydrogen fuel offers a higher thrust value than present rocket fuels, and is needed for later interplane tary manned flights. Silverstein also said thrust was being increased on the. M-l engine, being developed; to power future astronauticaU vehicles beyond the moon,, from 1 million pounds to 1.5 million pounds. ' The M-l engine burns a high energy hydrogen-oxygen' combination.
