Worst Autumn Snowstorm On Record Hits East Coast PALACE Britan 2*^79 LAST DAY “VILLAGE OF DAMNED” THE STARTS TOMORROW QUEEN LAST DAY John Wayne In “TROUBLE ALONG THE WAY” & “DESERT ATTACK” By The Associated Press NEW YORK—The worst au tumn snowstorm on record, a cruel, gale-driven blizzard, swept up the eastern seaboard yesterday. One by one the nation’s great coastal cities from Washington to Boston were shrouded in freezing drifts, all but immobilized in the storm’s brutal grip. Up to 20 inches of snow hit some sectors, and it was piled into mounting drifts by howling winds. Temperatures ranged from the teens in New York to six above zero in Maine, with no relief in sight. Deaths Near 40 The death toll, as the storm raged north from the Carolinas to pick up a reinforcing disturb ance from the west, neared the two-score mark. Fires, auto acci dents, weather-induced heart at tacks and maritime mishaps ac counted for the fatalities. In New York,' the United Na tions cancelled its assembly meet ing. Opening of the New York stock exchange was delayed one hour for the first time in 26 years. Commodity exchanges dealing in butter, cheese, eggs, cotton, wool and poultry, suspended operations for the dayi Business came to a virtual standstill in many cities less than two weeks before Christmas. Highways were well-night im passable throughout the coastal east. An unestimated number of motorists were marooned on the Maine turnpike, in danger of freezing to death if their cars ran out of gas, thus heaters to fail. causing their “We don’t care about the cars, we just want to get the people out of them and get them to the warmth of houses and restau rants,” said a spokesman dispatch ing rescue vehicles. Traffic Halts Private auto traffic came to a halt, even with police cars strand ed by the drifts. Cars were aban doned to the storm on snow-deep city streets, white and unbroken as a country lane. A baby girl was delivered to a New Jersey mother in the state capitol in Trenton, after an am bulance bogged down. The build ing was deserted, except for mo ther, child, doctor and ambulance driver. Airports closed and planes were kept to the ground. Trains fal tered far behind schedule. Busses fought a losing battle against drifts that closed . in like quick sand behind snowplows. Subways ran behind schedule and some ran not at all. Schools were closed and millions of pupils freed to frolic in the drifts. In New York City alone, 1.4 million students got a holiday. Factories closed because their manpower was marooned at home. Skied to Work In Washington, a man skied to work along normally bustling Con necticut Ave., with all the freedom of terrain he might have had on a remote mountain run. Ships at seas reeled and wal lowed in seas lashfrd by winds up to 77 m.p.h.—hurricane force. A 42-foot fishing boat went down off the Maryland coast with the loss of two lives. About 40 miles to the south, a freighter ran aground with 11 aboard but was not in immediate danger. A 36-foot Coast Guard Vessel was stove in off Nantucket and sank while res cuing six men from a grounded fishing vessel. All hands swam ashore safely.
