Snowstorm in Midwest moves east
Electrical storms whip 18 inches into New York
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Claps of thunder and bolts of lightning announced electrical storms yesterday that whirred up to 18 inches of snow from Lake Erie into New York. Western and midland states hung over from a massive blizzard that killed 54 people last weekend grounded from a fresh onslaught of polar weather.
Temperatures dropped to 29 below zero in Wyoming and ranged during the morning from zero to 10 below zero in parts of Montana, Colorado, Kansas
At least 54 deaths were blamed on the wintry storm that savaged the mountains and Plains over the Thanksgiving weekend.
The blizzard's kickback sent cold winds across the Great Lakes and whirled snow, accompanied by midsummer-like flashes of lightning, throughout western New York yesterday.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER Service said the storm was a "lake effect" snowfall caused by cold air traveling over the warmer waters of Lake Erie. The lake supplied the energy for the thunder and lightning that announced
Across the Midwest, it appeared it could take until week's end to get approval.
Polar temperatures severely hampered search efforts for a small plane believed to have crashed in the rugged Wyoming, Wyo., with two people on board.
The weekend storm killed eight people in Nebraska, seven people in Iowa and Minnesota, six each in Colorado, Georgia and Kansas, five in Arizona, four in Indiana, two each in Illinois and Wyoming, and one in Ohio.

Lie detector plan condemned
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House Government Operations Committee issued a critical report yesterday calling on President Reagan to drop plans for lie detector tests and stop censorship before leaks of classified information.
On a divided vote, the Democratic-dominated panel concluded that if Reagan did not repeal the policies, he should pass legislation against them.
The report condemned Reagan's plan to expand the use of lie detectors to investigate government leaks, saying it could "may brand innocent workers as liars."
In addition, Reagan's plan would subject 128,000 federal workers who held positions in the state government.
censorship. Requiring clearance for writings and speeches of workers "poses a serious threat to freedom of speech," the institution in our nation," the report said.
"The polygraph cannot distinguish between people who are lying and those who are merely afraid or nervous," the report said.
FIVE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE members dissented and instead aplauled Reagan "for his effort to tighten security."
The report found "no scientific evidence" that lie detector tests are valid when used, as Reagan proposes, to train users of information to treat medical, and others.
NOT ONLY DOES s censorship infringe "on the free flow of information and debate that is necessary for an informed public," the report said, but it also opens the door to great "political abuse" of censorship powers.
It criticized Reagan's plan to require government workers with access to highly classified information to have access to intelligence, including fiction or speeches, screened
In addition, the committee questioned whether it is necessary.
The General Accounting Office found only 21 unauthorized disclosures of classified information made through writings or speeches of employees from six agencies over the past five years, and only 38 of them had a type of highly sensitive classified information Reagan is seeking to protect, the report said.

Print workers confront police in violent strike
842-6046
By United Press International
LONDON — Scores of people were injured and 73 arrested yesterday as police and print workers clashed in a street fight near Thatcher's tough anti-union laws.
The confrontation at a small print-shop at Warrington in northwest England has provoked some of the worst labor violence in Britain in recent years and has challenged the power of employers to enforce the controversial legislation.
About 4,500 demonstrators hurled stones, bricks and bottles at 2,000 policemen in a seven-hour battle that raged from late Tuesday into yesterday morning. Forty-three people were injured and at least 73 arrested.
Print union leaders called for another big demonstration last night, but the turnout was small compared to Tuesday's action
"Compared to Tuesday night, there was no serious trouble," a police officer said.
POLICE SAID ABOUT 300 printers met outside the steel-paneled printing works late last night confronting lines of police. About 500 police reinforcements were standing by, but not all were deniled.
Three people were arrested for obstruction. They lay down in the road to try to stop a newspaper van leaving the works.
In the last week, miners, dock workers and other union supporters from across Britain have arrived to picket the Warrington plant and to block publication of local newspapers printed by Messenger Newspapers.
such secondary picketing — by people not directly involved in a labor dispute — is illegal under legislation passed by the Conservative government.
SUPPORTERS CONVERGED ON Warrington, 182 miles from London, to back the National Graphical Association in its fight to reinstate six fired printers who had walked off the job to protest the hiring of non-union labor.
Infrazed by the latest outbreak of violence, union leaders called for new picketing in Warrington and predicted that porters would turn out in three thursday.
In Parliament, Secretary Leon Brittan said, "There can be no excuse for violence and the attempt by intimidating weight of numbers to negate the lawful rights of other people."
All Britain's national newspapers shut down over the weekend as printers protested a court injunction ordering the seizure of the union's estimated $15 million in assets to cover an earlier fine it had refused to pay.
THE APPEAL COURT in London re-imposed the seizure yesterday after a temporary suspension But one national NGA leader hunted that there would be more trouble in the industry if funds were "plundered in this way."
The union blamed police for the violence. NGA official George Jeremiah said the union had lost control of the police, and accused police had seized its sound truck.
Police said the picketers included miners, dock workers and students, but Jerrom denied that the demonstration included outside "political agitators.
