JANl'ARY 28. 3 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7049 n aOLOL By FRANK JENKINS The big news today'.' It's the weather. And how ! This morning's dispatches re port that a heavy snow is swing ing through .New York state, leav ing up to 70 inches of snow in its tracks. Plows are having a problem disposing of it. In places they have thrown up 12-foot ridges along the roadsides. In Watertown, nearly all ve hicles are flying red Hags at the top of radio aerials so they can be spotted over snowbanks at the intersections. At least 260 persons arc dead in weather related mishaps since the record-breaking cold and snow, the worst in the century in some respects, first struck 10 days ago. What about overseas? Blizzards lashed parts of five European countries Sunday. Aus tria, West Germany, Poland. France and Italy were hit. The normally warm and sunny Medi terranean area is raw and chilly In East Germany, hundreds of roads were blocked by snow after a 20-hour storm. Raging snowstorms have brought death and misery to Japan, leaving 58 dead. Most of the deaths occurred when roofs' collapsed under the weight of snow that has piled up to 10 and 12 feel. Questions: How come? What's causing it all? Well, two weathermen one an amateur and the other a pro took a whirl yesterday at explain ing it all. One blamed the recent high-altitude nuclear blasts. The other said the trouble came from below from the world's (U0 ac tive volcanoes. In Denver, Dr. Irving P. Krick. the professional head of Irving P. Krick Associates, a commer-; cial forecasting service says: "Something such as the nucle ar explosions has changed both the course and the intensity of the jet stream. Tile jet stream is the high-speed current of air which moves west to cast around the globe at altitudes between 30.000 and 50.000 feet. "The radiation belt around the earth has been intensified by nu clear blasts, and thus appears tu have speeded up and changed the course of the jet stream. Now, in stead of moving across the north ern portion of the globe near the poles, there is a wave motion in the stream. This wave motion has caused the cold penetration into tlie lower latitudes." So much for the professional. In Richmond. Virginia. AMA TEUR Weatherman Ixiuis D. Ru bin theorizes that ash spewed up by volcanoes climbs high into the atmosphere and continent sized clouds of it circle the earth, absorbing the radiation and thus cooling the air beneath." Now you have both sides. You can lake your choice. j So much (or what has happened. What's going to happen next? The weather sharps decline to go out on that limb. But the Farmers Almanac, which has been predicting the weather for 170 years, sees no immediate prospect of any change for the better. In its own inimita ble way. it puis the situation thus: "February will provide a maze of haze and glaze, ami even the hcos will freeze. For March, il predict- "groans ami moans, chills vilh frills, doctor's bills." So. take your choice. From here, it looks like a ca-e of Helton's choice which, as oii mav remember, was TAKE IT AS IT COMES.

Mark Hatlicld in a soecial mes sage delivered (o the Oregon Leg islature. Hatlicld termed his proposal "urgently needed and highly de sirable." A 72-page proposed draft of leg islation to create the new depart ment accompanied the special message. Hatfield did not person Call WASHINGTON 'UPI - Presi dent Kennedy's education mes sage to Congress Tuesday is ex pected to call for school aid cost ing more than $6 billion over the next three to five years. Indications are thai the Presi dent's program, will contain the same old issues in a new wrap ping. He is likely to urge passage of a single bill to aid education from grade school through gradu ate school. This plan would set up two big new federal school aid plans and continue several existing pro grams. The lawmakers probably will kill one or both of the new school aid requests and extend the old programs just as they did in the last Congress. Kennedy's supporters believe they have the votes to override charges by opponents that the program costs too much or would lead to federal control of educa tion. But they face a lough obslacle in the bitter dispute that broke into tlie open during the last ses sion between backers of public and Roman Catholic school as sistance. the schook aid lorccs were whipped al every turn on tlie is sue last year and there is nothing lo indicate that the church-state fight has cooled down. The President is exacted to ask for: A new system of construction and teacher salary grants for ele mentary and secondary schools. Such grams would be limited lo public schools.

Extreme bitler cold stretched from North Dakota to Texas and east to Pennsylvania, disrupting one city's entire heat supply and establishing record low marks for the 10th straight day. More than 270 deaths were blamed on the cold and snow storms, which have kept their1 death grip on the eastern two thirds of tlie nation for nearly two weeks. Major food outlets in Watertown N.
