Spring Storms Leave 40 Dead Across Nation
By UNITED PRESS
The blizzards, winds, and floods of spring left thousands of persons homeless and more than 40 dead across the nation today. Damage was counted in the millions of dollars.
The young season's first storm, whipped into eastern Canada after burying the Midwest under a blizzard, sending wind storms and tornadoes whistling through the Ohio valley and unleashing some of the worst floods in a half century on the South.
But a new major snow storm roared into the Dakotas and parts of eastern Wyoming early today. There was six inches of new snow in northern Wyoming and winds were rising in the area.
A United Press survey showed that the spring storms had claimed at least 43 lives in 17 states. Traffic accidents on ice highways killed 21, while six drowned in flood waters,
six died in tornadoes or wind storms, and exhaustion, exposure, and electrocution claimed two lives each. Miscellaneous mishaps killed one.
Spring was only three days old, but its storms had already outside winter in viciousness and destructiveness.

In the Midwest—drifts were 10 feet deep in northern Indiana and more than 14 inches of snow hit Wisconsin's Fox river valley. Damage was estimated in the millions in Michigan, where 70 mile-per-hour winds blew in hundreds of windows and drove waves from Lake St. Clair into Fair Haven homes. Hundreds of flooded-out families were receiving care at the Fair Haven firehall.

Final Action On Work Bill
Topeka—(U.P.)—The controversial right-to-work bill comes up for final roll call passage today in the Kansas Senate and then will go to Gov. Fred Hall for his signature or veto.
There was some belief among the senators that the governor would make it his first official veto.
The measure would outlaw the closed shop in Kansas by prohibiting any contract in which labor and management agree that all workers covered would have to become members of the union.
It passed the House two weeks ago by a vote of 66-45, just three more than the lower chamber's constitutional majority.
the governor has voiced no opinion on the bill.
Sen. Joseph McDowell, in debate yesterday, said he did not believe Gov. Hall would let the bill become law. The Kansas City Democrat, considered a spokesman for labor in the Senate, was strongly opposed to the legislation.
A big supporter, Sen. Joel Gumnels, Colby Republican, stated "It will do more for the workers than for anyone else. Let's give the laboring man a chance to work in his union to make it a better organization. As long as the union can hold the club of a man's job over his head, the worker doesn't dare to make a complaint."
Chairman Leonard Rude of the Labor committee opposed the bill. He asked it be discarded. Instead of the right-to-work bill, Mr. Rude requested adoption of the labor relations bill which the committee voted out yesterday. He termed that measure "labor-management legislation, not just law legislation."
