Churchill Named
Honorary Citizen
Rulcigh, N.C. - IUPII - North
Carolina beat Tennessee to
the punch Wednesday and be
came the first stale to bestow
honorary citizenship upon
Sir Winston Churchill.
The legislature, in a joint
resolution, praised Churchill,
whose mother was an Ameri
can, as the most eloquent
champion of the free world"
whose World War II leader
ship helped "save mankind
from the tyranny of dicta
tors." The Tennessee legislature
had been considering a simi
lar resolution for some time

was "temporarily misplaced"
and needs the signature of
Gov. Frank Clement to be
come effective. The North
Carolina resolution required
no gubernatorial signature.

Sunday Closing
Law Rejected
In Montana
Helena, Mont. - OiPl - Mon
tana's House of Representa
tives, for the second time in
the 1963 session, slammed the
door Wednesday on Sunday
closing legislation.
. The House refused to con
sider a Senate Sunday closing
bill on grounds the measure
was introduced in the Senate
after the House had killed
similar legislation. Under
House rules, it would have
taken unanimous consent for
the bill to reach the floor,
and the question was greeted
with a chorus of disapproval.
Regional Movement
Sunday closing has been a
regional movement this year,
with bills introduced in the
legislatures of Utah, Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho as well
as Montana. Idaho's house
killed the legislation but bills
were still alive in Washing
ton, Oregon and Utah.
In Montana, it was one of
the hottest and bitterest is
sues of the session and pro
duced a deluge of an esti
mated 10,000 letters, tele
grams and petitions favoring
Sunday closing.
Basically, the Montana pro
posals would have closed most
of the larger retail stores on
Sunday. But it was no "blue
law." Its long list of excep
tions included taverns.
As one clergyman who op
posed it said, "You could buy
beer but not a Bibie on Sunday."
New England Gets
14-Inch Snowfall;
Temperatures Skid
Br United Press International
A harsh storm buried N-w
England under 14 inches cf
snow and pushed tempera
tures downward today across'
the eastern half of the na
tion. The storm coated highways
with ice and snow. Twenty
five cars piled up in a single
crash at Columbus, Ohio. Five
St. Vincent College students
were injured when their car
ran into the rear of a tractor
trailer near Greensberg, Pa.
Chased by Fire
Students were stranded on
their way home from school
in upper New York. Two men
were killed on an icy Pennsyl
vania turnpike near an inter
change when their car was
rammed from the rear.
Sixty apartment dwellers
were forced into below zero
cold in Chicago in an early
morning fire.
The temperature dropped
to 29 below at International
Falls, Minn., today. The tem
perature was zero in Pitts
burgh, Pa., equalling the rec
ord low for this date set in
1855.
High winds ripped off part
of a house in Pittsburgh, forc
ing a family of four to evac
uate. Six New England states
were buried by Wednesday's
near blizzard, tying up trav
el on the ground and in the
air. Blinding snow and 50
Squirrel Takes Over City Square
mile an hour winds swept
in almost without warning
off Lake Erie and Ontario,
closing roads and pushing Wa
tertown, N.Y.'s total snow ac
cumulation to 135 inches.
fourteen inches of snow
came down on Houlton, Nor
cross and Bangor, Maine,
Worcester, Mass., and Hart
ford and Windsor Locks,
Conn.
Girls Injured
A woman bus driver and
11 teen-age girls were taken
to a hospital after their
school bus and several cars
tangled on a suburban Buf
falo, N.Y. highway. Residents
of Attica, N.Y. took several
students into their homes
when they became stranded
on their way home , -'rom
school.
Varying snowfalls swirled
out ahead of the latest cold
pu?h, with five to nine inches
of new snow piling up along
the southern edge of Lake
Michigan. Chicago received
up to two inches of snow dur
ing the morning rush hour.
Gusty, high-altitude winds
forced scientists at Palestine,
Tex., to postpone launching
the giant Stratoscope II bal
loon package for the 12th
time.
Special guards in Tokyo
subway stations have the job
of shoving riders into the
jampacked cars.
Tyler, Tex. iL'PD Northeast
Texas' most pampered quad
ruped is Shorty, the squirrel,
darling of the Smith county
courthouse plaza crowd.
Oldtimers swear Shorty has
lived on the courthouse
square for 12 years. When
the old courthouse was razed
and replaced across the street
by a new building. Shorty
moved into a split-level hack
berry tree and took over sov
ereignty of the old square.
But the townspeople lost
no time in making him more
comfortable when his sight
failed as it will with squir
rels as old by squirrel stand
ards as Shorty.
Contributions game him a
king-sized bird cage stocked
with goodies and containing
the nail keg home he has oc
cupied for some years. The
nail keg gives him a warm
home, the cage provides safe-
ty to suit his blindness, and
a plastic cover is placed on
the cage each cold night to
keep the breezes out.
