United Press International Up to a half foot of snow in Pennsylvania and record- shattering lows in the Northern Plains made March a dead rin ger for January in the Northeast and Midwest today. In Colora do, a warm front collided with the cold, sparking 95 mph winds. At least 26 deaths have been blamed on the latest onslaught of snow, rain, ice and sub-zero temperatures since the weekend. Winter, which re turned with a fury last week, has less than two weeks before its official demise. An elderly Chicago woman was found dead in the kitchen of her unheated South Side home Tuesday. Authorities said the woman had asked officials of People’s Gas to turn off the heat in her small frame dwelling for no apparent reason. Dozens of children received minor injuries and at least one was hospitalized with a neck in jury in two separate school bus accidents on slippery western Pennsylvania roads. One bus carrying 40 children collided with a car trying to make a turn on an icy part of Route 153 in Lawrence Town ship, police said. In the other accident, a bus carrying 34 chil dren collided with a tractor- trailer rig on a snow-covered road in Beaver County. Snow covered the Great Lakes from Indiana to north- central Pennsylvania and west ern New York, but it warming trend crept across the Rockies and the western edge of the Plains, creating ferocious winds through the Colorado foothills. Four inches of snow fell u Detroit in six hours Month night, bringing the city’s ton snow accumulation to 63.2 in cites in the worst winter in J years.

"I think it’s going to pro duce too much of a diversity of weather for a regional office to handle effectively. “This is one of the most tor nado prone areas of country. Most of the tornado de^/Jis that occur in the L'.S. occur in the south and southwestern states, especially Arkansas, Mississippi and western Tennessee. “Also, this part of country is where most of hurricanes that hit the United States happen. We have some rather peculiar weather problems in this region and over the years we have built up a certain expertise to handle them.” The National Oceangraphic and Atmospheric Administra tion, which oversees the NWS, estimates about SI.2 million would be saved by closing the 60-person regional office that oversees operations in 10 states f rom New Mexico to Florida and Puerto Rico. “The plan as we know it now would call for a three-regional- office configuration for the con tinental U.S.,” Anderson said. In the changeover from four to three regional offices, about half the staff would be cut and the rest transferred to regional off ices in Salt Lake City, Kansas City, Mo., and New York. Anderson is concerned about the efficiency of the plan that would probably transfer mam of the Fort Worth of fices’duties to the Kansas City facility. Under the plan, the central re gion could stretch from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. •n ■rfvrtl—4 It r cHoic* o4 ■ <omy f bl» awllob**. raflactln* ril—Jat «Ha advartlaad prlca within M 4aya.
