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.

SALEM iUPH - Creation of a
Department of Natural Resources
to combine 20 separate state agen
cies was called or today by Gov.
Mark Hatlicld in a soecial mes
sage delivered (o the Oregon Leg

Hatlicld termed his proposal

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.
