Snow, Rain
Cold Air Mass
Moves Into Texas
A bitter cold air mass pushed
deep into Texas Thursday in the
wake of snow and freezing rain
f that closed schools, disrupted traf
fic, and left thousands of homes
and farms without heat and elec
tricity.
Skies were clear in all except
the southern part of the state ear
ly Thursday. But the U. S. Wea
ther Bureau warned that skies
would begin to cloud up again Fri
day with new snow flurries likely
in the Panhandle by Friday night.
Mercury Drops
The mercury plummeted to 3
degrees above zero at Dalhart
shortly before dawn Thursday and
freezing weather extended as far
south as Lufkin and Junction, Col
lege Station and Austin.
Other -early moraing lows in
cluded Amarillo 4 degrees, Chil
dress 10, Lubbock 12, Wichita
.Falls, Abilene 19, Mineral Wells
and Fort Worth 21, Dallas 22, Tex
arkana 23, San Angelo 24, Waco
26, Wink 29, Junction, Austin and
College Station 30, and Lufkin 31.
The highest pre-dawn i-eading was
51 at Brownsville.
Readings Repeated
The Weather Bureau said the
low temperatures would be re
peated Friday morning.
A crippling ice storm struck
hard in East Texas Wednesday,
«the third day of freezing rain in
the northern half of the state.
A heavy coating of ice, formed
during 1.80 inches of freezing rain,
" split limbs from large trees and
snapped power and phone lines in
the Marshall area.
Rural Lows
The greatest suffering was in
the rural areas of northeast Tex
as. The Rural Electrification Ad
ministration said that 93 per cent
of its 5,300 customers in Harrison
and Panola counties in Texas and
adjacent sections of Louisiana
were without power Wednesday.
Hallsville, Ore City and parts
of Gilmer and Marshall were with
out power. Thousands shivered
since the electric controls operat-
Brown Participates
In Dairy Course
Dr. M. A. Brown, assistant pro
fessor in the Department of Dairy
Science, attended a dairy short
course Tuesday at Saint Charles,
111.
The course, with the theme of
“Keeping Youth on The Farm,”

ing gas furnaces were knocked out.
Up to three inches of new snow
fell in the Panhandle Wednesday
and sleet storms struck at Hender
son, Mesquite and other points.
Air Flight Cancelled
Six deaths and hundreds of mi
nor accidents were blamed on the
weather as ice-coated highways
made traveling extremely danger
ous. At Abilene air flight was
cancelled and buses were up to
four hours late arriving at that
city.
Camera Group
Plans Tour
Happy shooting will be the
motto of the Memorial Student
Center Camera Committee Satur
day as they leave for Houston and
Galveston on a two-day photog
raphy excursion.
Twelve committee members,
along with Dr. Don Huss, faculty
advisor, are planning to make the
expense-paid tour, according to
Billy Ray Smith, camera commit
tee president.
According to Smith, the group
will leave for Houston Saturday
morning, where they will photo
graph professional models from a
model agency, tour Hermann Park
and take night shots of refineries
and industry in Pasadena and
Texas City.
That night the party will leave
for Galveston, where they will
spend the night in Hotel Galvez.
They plan to take beach shots
Sunday and leave for A&M that
evening.
The pictures will be taken in
preparation for the first annual
Southwestern Intercollegiate Photo
Salon, to be held April 1-7, Smith
said.

Krushchev "b Tough Talks
Hinge on Brink of Violation
WASHINGTON 0T>) — Premier
Nikita Khrushchev’s increasingly
tough talk about Berlin appeared
today to put him on the brink of
violating his Camp David promise
that new talks should go forward
without a Soviet deadline.
Diplomatic authorities who have
followed Khrushchev’s freewheel-
ng comment during his Far East
ern trip said the Soviet leader
clearly is trying to build up an
atmosphere of threats in advance
of the summit parley in Paris
May 15. Khrushchev’s more men
acing tone, they reported, has
been accompained by a stronger
anti-American line in the Soviet
press during the past few weeks.
Favorite Theme
During his travels, Khrush
chev’s favorite theme has been to
repeat that he will sign a sepa
rate peace treaty with Commu
nist East Germany unless the Al
lies agree with the Soviet Union
on an all-German treaty.
His November 1958 call for such
Several Scientists
Visit Department
Several scientists visited the De
partment of Oceanography and
Meteorology Wednesday and today.
They include: Dr. Pembroke
Hart, International Geophysical
Year Data Center coordinator;
Hugh Odishaw, executive director,
and Dr. Alan H. Shapley, vice
chairman, U. S. National Com
mittee for the IGY; and Dr.
Bernard M. Fry, deputy head,

a treaty and his demand that the
Allies pull their troops out of
West Berlin set off a new crisis.
He appeared at the time to have
set a six-month deadline, but later
disclaimed any such intention and
fixed no specific time for action.
In a farewell news conference
in Indonesia Monday, however,
Khrushchev tied the need for a
Berlin settlement to the summit
conference. He hinted strongly
that he would make his advertised
deal with East Germany if the
talks fail.
No Violation
Technically, Khrushchev’s lan
guage did not violate his Camp
David pledge to President Eisen
hower. But diplomatic authorities,
even while making allowance for
his usual propaganda, say he came
mighty close.
At Camp David, Khrushchev
lifted any ultimatum aspect out of
his demand that the West agree
to make West Berlin what he

called a free city. He said the
talks for a friendly settlement
should be convened without a fixed
deadline.
No Promise. . .
Eisenhower, on his part, prom
ised that the Berlin discussions
would not be prolonged indefinite
ly. But he made no promise to
settle the bitter dispute during
any set time or in any single con
ference.
Most Western diplomatic author
ities, while concerned over Khrush
chev’s talk, believe he will stop
short of specifically imposing any
new deadline. They feel Khrush
chev realizes that talk much tough
er that he is using now may cause
a new East-West crisis and per
suade Eisenhower to pull out of
the summit parley the Soviet
leader has so eagerly sought.

County Superior Court Judge Jno.
F. Molloy asked Reynaldo P. Fraijo
if he was ready to be sentenced.
Fraijo noddeded ‘“yes.” Moloy
told Fraijo he was going to be sent
to prison for two years on a charge
of forgery.
“If you object to waiting a week.
I’ll sentence you now. Would you
rather fait a week while I thing it
over ?”
Fraijo quickly answered, “Let’s
wait.”
