Second Storm Passes Battered Atlantic Coast
New York—(U.P.)-A second snowstorm threatening the Mid-Atlantic seaboard blew out to set off Virginia today and left Eastern cities to dig out of the heaviest snowfall in five years.
As the first snow storm, which began Sunday, dissipated early this morning, the weatherman said the coastal states would see biting winds and sub-freezing temperatures during the day.
Authorities blamed the snow storm for at least 47 deaths from Maine to the Carolinas.
The layer of snow, up to 15 inches deep in some areas, posed a costly removal problem. The expense of scooping snow off the streets in New York was estimated at $100,000 for each inch of snow-almost $1,000,000.
Philadelphia was buried under 10 inches of snow and the city joined the local transit company in hiring extra crews to clear the streets. At least 13 persons died in Pennsylvania, including four cases of heart attacks brought on by snow-shoveling.
In Washington, D.C., seven deaths were a result of the storm, including five cases of heart failure from over exertion.
The snowfall in New York City measured 9.6 inches at midnight and the fire department ordered 11,000 men on 24-hour duty until high drifts blocking sidewalks and burying hydrants could be cleared.
New England and the Middle Atlantic states were hardest hit by the storm. Elsewhere east of the Rockies temperatures were low and winds were strong but snow was confined mostly to flurries.
White Death Stalks Europe
Vienna, Austria —(U.P.)—“White Death” stalked the mountains of South Central Europe today, burying at least 64 persons under snow of thunderous avalanches in three countries.
Farmhouses and a railway station were swept away or buried by the ice slides. The center of one village was gouged out, and an express train was broken in two and partly buried by another avalanche.
As much as five feet of snow piled up on the mountaintops during the past week's storms, and thousands of tons began thundering into the valleys of Switzerland, Germany and Austria yesterday when thawing temperatures at the low levels "pulled the plug."
Temperatures in most of Italy still were below freezing, and no serious avalanches were reported in that country.
Snow still was falling over a wide area, and authorities in the stricken countries said the avalanche danger is "very serious" or even "increasing."
The known toll so far includes 32 killed in Austria in two avalanches that buried nine homes and a restaurant in the town of Schruns, 12 "missing" in a slide that smashed the railway station at Dalaas, and 2 dead at other points; 17 dead and four injured in Switzerland, and one dead in Germany.
Japan leads the world in fisheries production with an average of almost 3,000,000 metric tons of fish a year. The United States ranks next with 2,500,000 and Russia is third with 2,000,000.

St. Louis, Mo.—(U.P.)The controversial Jane Russell picture "The French Line," condemned by Roman Catholic leaders and Hollywood's Breen office, will be withdrawn, an exhibitor said today.
Manhattan, — (U.P.)— A 19-year-old Kansas State college sophomore, Beverly Amick, was injured fatally in a one-car accident on Highway 24-40 one mile east of Manhattan.
Auto Crash Fatal For K-State Student
Miss Amick died today in St Luke hospital of head injuries.
Edward Arthur, St. Louis executive of the Franchon and Marco theaters, said he was closing the technicolor musical Jan. 18 on advice of RKO president James Grainger.
RKO chief Howard Hughes had previously ignored Breen office warnings to cut a so-called suggestive dance scene and okayed the film's premiere here without the usual industry seal of approval.
Mr. Arthur said Grainer "advised me to withdraw it" by long distance telephone.
Highway troopers said she apparently lost control of the car and it crashed into Blue river bridge.
The exhibitor is not controlled by the studio and conceivably could have ignored the request, but the film will have run three weeks by Jan. 18 anyway.
Spokesmen for Mr. Hughes said yesterday that Mr. Arthur had said in a letter to the archbishop of St. Louis that the picture would be withdrawn. But early today another RKO spokesman said he knew nothing about the withdrawal.
Before World War II, the Soviet Ukraine accounted for nearly a fourth of Russia's entire wheat and corn crops, a third of its barley, and two-thirds of its sugar beet output.
It was not known if Mr. Hughes planned to cut the controversial dance scene, which Hollywood censors said showed too much of Miss Russell's famous bosom, before releasing the musical nationally. A national release date has not been set.
A St. Louis Catholic organization condemned the film on the grounds that Hughes had ignored the Breen office recommendations and was tending to "break down censorship." Catholics in the archdiocese were warned to boycott it on "penalty of mortal sin."

Then the Catholic legion of decency demanded the picture be withheld from national distribution because of the dance scene.
Wife, Son Strike Against Old Man
St. Louis, Mo.—(U.P.)The wife and oldest son of a small manufacturer were on strike today for higher wages, but the husband and father said he can't afford them.
Mrs. George V. Harrison, who led her 19-year-old son, George JR., and the plant's only other employee on a picket line, said her husband had been a brick about their joining the AFI. Carpenter's union
"But he's going to be sore before it's over," she said.
Mrs. Harrison said she has worked in her husband's venetian blind factory the last eight years without any pay, George, Jr., complained that he has made only 75 cents an hour for the last four years and can't afford to marry.
Business agent Tom Hathaway of the Carpenter's union said he didn't take their application for a loan threatened to join another union.
"I've never heard of anything like this before," he said.

'White Indian's' Story Fails; Paleface Device Tricks Her
Fitchburg, Mass. —(U.P.)— Million dollar babies aren't the only thing you find in the five-and-ten-cent store. "White Indians," too
Rome — (J.R.)— Ainintore Fanfani, 45-year-old member of the Left wing of the Christian Democrat party and advocate of an Italian "New Deal," agreed today to try to form a new government to end the nation's week-old political crisis.
Italy May Try OwnNewDeal
President Luigi Einaudi quickly handed the job to Mr. Fanfani after outgoing premier Giuseppe Pella rejected the president's invitation to stay in power.
Mr. Pella told newsmen he did not have the full backing of his own Christian Democrats, the Roman Catholic pro-Western party which has been dominant in Italy since the end of World War II.
The party, it was reported, felt Mr. Pella had drifted too far to the right during his four months regime as premier of a "caretaker" government of experts who had agreed to serve for a temporary period.
The selection of the comparatively youthful Mr. Fanfani, a former university professor and frequent minister in post-war governments, represented a definite attempt to shift his party, the government, and the nation slightly to the left.
He favors the Italian equivalent of a "New Deal"—increased social and economic benefits to the low income voters who have been deserting the Democratic parties and increasing Communist and pro-Communist Socialist strength to an alarming degree.
Mr. Fantan, who was his party's choice for premier, served as minister of the interior in Mr. Pella's retiring cabinet and was minister of agriculture in the preceding government of premier Alcide de Gasperi.
Yalamulankastidanamutson, or Kim, as she prefers to be called, was discovered today working in a dime store here. She explained that she's earning money to finance her trumpet return to Texas—on horseback.
"I'll be leaving here May 9, my 18th birthday," said the grayeyed brunette. "Shouldn't take me more than three months to get to Ft. Worth."
It was near Ft. Worth that Kim was found living in the woods 16 months ago. She convinced some people she had left a wandering tribe of "white Indians" near the Yukon and made her way south. But a device of paleface civilization betrayed her. An alert sheriff discovered her real name—Yvonne Hanks—on her brassiere.
Police records showed that she was listed as a runaway. Her father, Richard Henkx, who runs a tavern here, went to Texas and brought her home.
However, a taste of Texas was all Kim needed. She loves the wide open spaces and is determined to go back there to live, on a ranch.
A ready sine has her black riding habit, her boots and saddle and, what is more important, her horse. The horse, a gift from an aunt, is a registered Morgan bay named Honey. For protection on the 1,900-mile trip Kim will take along her cellie, Shantan.
"I didn't have any trouble when I hitch-hiked last time," Kim said. "And I don't expect any this time."
