Snow Storm Hits Western Kansas
By UNITED PRESS
A winter storm of near-blizzard proportions slammed Kansas last night. Winds up to 60 miles an hour in the west drove snow into drifts.
The weather bureau said the storm had reached its peak and would wear itself out, giving the state a chance for warmer and possibly sunny weather tomorrow.
Visibility was cut to zero at Goodland and one-quarter mile at Hill City early todd as blinding snow whipped across the plains.
Two inches of snow fell at Goodland and an inch at Hill City. Visibility was half a mile at Norton and the highway patrol described conditions as "near-blizzard."
In Colby, highway, rail, and local traffic halted, schools closed, and
business was virtually suspended as 40-mile winds swirled snow across the high plains in blinding clouds.
Because of the wind, it was impossible to determine whether snow was still falling.
Thunderstorms brought light moisture to central and eastern Kansas during the night. The heaviest fall was 90 inch at Trading Post.
Telegraph and long distance telephone communications failed to many small communities, but authorities expressed belief storm losses in northwest Kansas probably were small. They explained stockmen had advance warning that gave them almost 24 hours in which to get their herds to shelter.
Winds still raged up to 55 miles per hour in gusts at Garden City early today. They blew at 37 miles an hour at Dodge City and in gusts to 45; at 28 miles at Russell and in gusts to 36.
Temperatures tumbled to eight degrees at Goodland, 15 at Garden City and Hill City, 17 at Rusell and Hutchinson, and 21 at Wichita. They dropped from a high of 58 yesterday at Dodge City.

Ad Opens Ideas About Atom Ship
Washington—(U.P.)An advertisement by the Newport News, Va, ship-building co. for "nuclear engineers" sparked speculation today that plans are under way for an atom-powered aircraft carrier.
Government and atomic officials refused to comment, but referred questioners to a recent Atomic Energy commission report.
The report noted that the Westinghouse Electric corp. was working on a nuclear power plant suitable for use in aircraft carriers and surface vessels such as aircraft carriers.
The shipbuilding company advertised in the New York Times for "engineers, designers, draftsmans." It said they would be engaged in "design and development of warship nuclear propulsion plant and other diversified participate in history-making events," the advertisement said.
Book Exhibits Set For Lecture Series
Exhibits of late books of early American architecture and French cathedrals will be shown next week in connection with Dr. Clarence Ward's Humanities lectures.
The exhibit on early American architecture will be shown on the first floor of the Art museum, where Dr. Ward will lecture at 4 p.m. Monday.
The exhibit of books on French cathedrals, which will provide additional references related to his address Tuesday, will be on display on the first floor of the library.
timetable
Prof. Stuhl was requested by the conductor of the orchestra to help made this concert possible by supplying three cellists in addition to the one they already have.
The three students chosen to take part in this presentation are Wanda Murray and Dorothy Woodle, fine arts sophomores, and Olga Zilboorg, fine arts freshman.
In addition to contributing to the cello section of the orchestra, Miss Zilbboorg will play the Haydn Dello Concerto in D major. She is a former pupil of Imre Hartman, a member of the Lena String Quartet.
Prof. Stuhl said he and the cellists are eager to contribute their talents and efforts, and for this reason are often sought by the orchestra chefsurgers such as this in the Midwest.
"We feel that we are musical pioneers," Mr. Stuhl said, "and are most enthusiastic about activities such as the one in which we will participate Sunday."
Roberts Starts Legislative Feud
Topeka —(U.P.)—The form of a resolution authorizing investigation of a transaction in which Republican National Chairman C. Wesley Roberts received an $11,000 fee for sale of a building to the state raised a stormy dispute today in the Kansas legislature.
As reported out by the judicial committee, the resolution limited the investigating body's life to the end of the current legislature and provided "election" of its members by the senate as a whole.
In its original form, as introduced by Sen. J. H. Moore, Salina, the investigating committee would have been authorized to study activities of state officers and departments for two years and report back to the 1955 session. Membership would have been designated by Lt. Gov. Fred Hall.
