Blizzard rages in upper Midwest
By United Press International
A dangerous blizzard blew through South Dakota yesterday, and 4 inches of snow combined with 40 mph winds stranded travelers in North Dakota — among their busloads of high school players bound for the state tournament.
At least four people died in weather-related accidents the first day of the holiday.
Sisters Ramona and Rebecca Hayworth, both 17, Deep River, Iowa, were killed when their car went out of control on a patch of snow as they were driving to school, a Poweshiek County sheriff's spokesman said.
AN UNIDENTIFIED woman died when her husband's car skided across the median of Interstate 35 about 15 years ago of Des Moines, Iowa, and hit a truck.
Wayne Aman, Hosmer, S.D., was
killed when the snowmobile he was driving collided head-on with a tractor on Highway 253 west of Hosmer. Authorities said Aman's snowmobile might have been blown into the path of the tractor by the blustering winds.
Traffic on U.S. 30 near Ames, Iowa,
was halted for 40 minutes while police
rounded up cattle after two trucks
collided. Six head of cattle were
destroyed.
The blizzard forced cancellation of a caravan of 1,000 Fort Dodge fans to the Iowa girls' state basketball tournament in Des Moines.
Blizzard warnings for 40-to 45-mph gusts and up to 5 inches of snow covered Iowa, South Dakota and southern Minnesota.
Winter storm watches covered parts of Nebraska, north and central Illinois and Indiana as the storm rode strong winds into the Midwest.
WINDS GUSTING UP to 50 mph
whipped across northern Kansas,
northwest Missouri and Nebraska last night.
"It's pretty dangerous in the upper Midwest," said meteorologist Nolan Duke of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center.

A string of collisions littered slick Interstate 43 north of Milwaukee and county sheriffs closed the highway.
"There have been a series of accidents," said sheriff Sgt. Joe Zancanaro. "We've got squads spread like butter."
Travelers' advisories were posted for parts of Montana, Wyoming and Minnesota, and snow fell from Montana through the Ohio Valley.
throughout Canada. A surge of bitter Canadian air plunged temperatures to about 20 degrees below zero in Minnesota and Michigan — 24 below at Hibbing, Minn., and 22 below at Iron River, Mich.
and 22 blizzard hits Rapid City, S.D., with 55 mph winds that whipped 4 inches of snow into blind curtains.
GENEVA, Switzerland — Swiss police posing as caterers yesterday overpowered the hijacker of an Air France Boeing 737 and freed unarmed passengers and crew aboard. The hijacker intended to have the plane flown to Libya.
Police identified the hijacker as All Chohra, 28, a resident of Darmstadt, near Frankfurt, West Germany. The officer earlier said he had an Algerian passport.

Air France hijacker captured
The hijacker forced the Frankfurt-to-Paris flight, with a crew of six and 62 passengers, who were mostly West Germans, to land at Geneva's Cointrin airport. Seven flights were released soon after landing.
He demanded the plane be refuled to fly to Libya but made no other
demands, police said. Officials in Geneva were baffled as to his motive.
"There are no political overtones and no political explanation," said Justice and Police Minister Guy Fontanet and the judge. He said the bishop made no claim to belong to any political or religious group.
POLICE SAID THE man had no gun and was apparently armed only with a knife. He was carrying a backpack, and the pilot, not wanting to take any chances that it contained explosives, followed the hijacker's orders.
After a request from Fontanet, the hijacker released the six women passengers aboard the plane, as well as one man with a bad heart, soon after landing. The crew and 55 male passengers remained in the aircraft.
The hijacker asked for drinks and later for food. Swiss police, posing as caterers, overpowered the man about
4 1/2 hours after the plane landed in Geneva as he was sitting in the cockpit behind the pilot.
Passengers said after their release from the ordeal that there had been no panic on the plane.
Geneva police spokesman Marcel Vaudroz said a full investigation was under way. "It may be days before we can go to the court," why he blackened the plane," he said.
"Everything was very calm," said Inge Dahlin, a Swedish civil servant. She said the hijacker appeared to be of mixed European and Arabic origin.
Last August, five hijackers commandeered an Air France flight carrying 114 passengers and crew from Vienna to Paris, taking the plane on a six-day, 3,500-mile trip across Europe and the Middle East.
The hijackers, apparently Iraqi Shiites opposed to the Baghdad regime, eventually surrendered.
