Some may have got out, but we don’t know.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An iee storm dropped on Texas Monday faster than expected, dealing the worst misery of the season to millions. It closed schools, killed people and jammed streets with the cars of stranded motorists. The cold sheath reached from the Panhandle to parts of the semi-tropic Lower Rio Grande Valley and from El Paso to the East Texas border. The ice hit most of Texas’ lar gest cities about the time workers started for their jobs and many were hours late arriving. The forecasts indicated freezing mois ture—but due later in the day or during Monday night in most areas. Houston closed its freeways only to find angered motorists tearing away the barriers. Jammed traffic blocked a major Fort Worth freeway. San An tonio’s expressway system was closed in places. Monumental traf fic jams occurred all over Dallas. One person froze to death in the bitter weather preceding the ice. A Dallas wrecker driver died of a heart attack while trying to clear a traffic jam. At least two traffic deaths were attributed directly to icy roads. The Dallas public schools, which like to stay open whenever possible, surrendered at 2 p.m. and sent pupils home. Some schools were 80 per cent vacant when classes convened. Most federal workers in Fort Worth and Dallas were dismissed at noon so they could get home. Postal workers, expecting wide spread trouble over postage due collections with the rates going- up Monday, found slick sidewalks giving them more trouble than NICE KITTY’ A cheetah bares its fangs and snarls at Vice President Hubert Humphrey as he tries to pet it at the palace of Emperor Haile Selassie in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Johnson Still Agrees With McCarthy NEW YORK IA>) _ Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., said today he did not believe he could further the cause of peace by supporting Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D- Minn., for the presidency. Kennedy reaffirmed his support of President Johnson for re-elec tion. He said he saw no inconsis tency in supporting Johnson and agreeing with McCarthy on his criticism of Johnson’s Vietnam policy. “I have to analyze how I can accomplish more good and be the most useful,” Kennedy told a stu dent audience at Manhattan Com munity College. He said that “my judgment is at the moment that I don’t fur ther the cause” of peace by sup porting McCarthy. “I have a feeling also that I am not accomplishing a great deal,” he added slowly. Later he told newsmen that he meant he felt a “frustration” be cause he could not get the John son administration to test reports from Hanoi that an end to the bombing of North Vietnam would bring peace negotiations. Kennedy said that he did not believe McCarthy was soliciting his endorsement when McCarthy said here Saturday that senators not seeking re-election should do “a little bit more.” LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR FOR ONLY $1767.00 COME TO Hickman Garrett Volkswagen AUTHORIZED DEALER 1701 So.

The ice was so bad that Don Magness, operator of an ice skating rink in Fort Worth, closed down. “We’ve got too much com petition all over the city,” he de clared. Dallas residents, caught on traffic jams when one o r two cars would slip and clog the street, went to nearby stores to find shelter and to telephone their offices and homes. The Houston morning rush hour, usually ending by 9 a.m., continued as best it could until after 10:30 a.m. Portions of San Antonio’s ex pressway system were closed be cause of ice. Authorities were swamped with reports of well over 100 traffic accidents. Am bulance calls were frequent. Austin had more than 100 col lisions in a little over two hours, including two between police cars and two between wreckers. City Manager Robert Tintsman said, “I’m not satisfied with our re sponse to current weather condi tions,” and indicated he hoped to get street clearing crews to work earlier. A spectacular collision on an iced bridge near Conroe resulted in the smashup of 16 trucks and automobiles on Interstate 45. Sev eral persons suffered injuries, including a trucker pinned in his cab for 45 minutes. The Weather Bureau said a “slow warming trend is expected to begin in the southern part of the state Monday afternoon and spread slowly northward through Tuesday. Traveler’s warnings were in ef fect from Southeast New Mexico, southern and eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas and portions of Louisi ana. The Texas Highway Depart ment said ice occured in varying amounts in its districts of Waco, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Houston, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Brownwood, Tyler, Austin, Del Rio, Yoakum, Pharr, Beaumont, Wichita Falls, Fort Worth, Bryan, Paris, San Antonio, Dallas, Lub bock, Childress and Amarillo. A six-vehicle pileup on the ice- covered Bernard River Bridge near Wharton killed Manuel Phil lips of Wharton and injured five others. Phillips burned to death when his pickup truck caught fire. Orris W. Taylor was killed at Beaumont when his car skidded on a bridge. Jennis English, age undeter mined, died in a fire at her home at Greenville. Fire fighters were hampered by slick roads and freezing fire hoses. Curtis Barryman, 49, was found frozen to death Sunday outside a home in Sanger he had been visiting. He left to return home Saturday night and was not found until the following morning. He wore only a light coat. ABE HADN’T A LICENSE LEWISPORT, Ky. (^(—Abra ham Lincoln is reported to have been arrested and tried near here at age 18., on charges of river ferrying without a lincense.
