Snow, Sleet, Rain, Fog Hit Midwestern, Eastern Areas
Bv THE UNITED PRESS
Snow, sleet, rain and fog plagued much of the nation east of the Rocky Mountains today, grounding planes and coating highways in the Midwest with snow and ice.
U. S. weather forecasters said a fog blanket this morning extended from Pittsburgh to Denver, and from Minneapolis southward to central Texas.
Slippery highways were blamed for a mounting toll of highway deaths, several of them in Indiana. Iowa highways, packed with snow and slush were given a coating of ice when freezing rain fell during the night.
Forecasters said a storm center was centered over Arkansas and was moving northeastward. It was throwing rain ahead of it and snow to the north.
The fog grounded airliners at St. Louis, Indianapolis and other midwestern points, but forecasters said it would thin out later in the day.

to the north. The storm brought hurricane-force winds up to 80 miles an hour to Fort Worth, Texas.
New French Cabinet To Be Attempted
Pinay announced after a one-hour interview with the president that he reluctantly had accepted the mandate.
He expressed the hope that "with the help of everybody" he could successfully end the crisis that developed last week when Edgar Faure gave up as premier after losing an 'assembly confidence vote on a tax increase proposal.
Ship Investigation Asked By Senator
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Richard M. Nixon today called for a "full-fledged investigation of all ship disposal deals" involving the former wartime commission.
The California Republican said disclosures before the Senate's permanent investigating committee show the need for an overall investigation to see "if the spirit and the letter of the ships sales act were abused in 'get-rich-quick' ship deals.
Nixon said he felt such an inquiry might be outside of the jurisdiction of the Senate investigating group and suggested it be made by either the House or Senate interstate commerce committee, or any other group which has jurisdiction over maritime affairs.
Washington — (U.P.) — Corruption hunter Newbold Morris is going to "wash his hands" of his new job if President Truman refuses to fire government employees who don't answer financial questionnaires which Morris plans to send them.
Morris also said on a television program Sunday that if he had been in the president's shoes he would not have appointed former New York Mayor William O'Dwyer as ambassador to Mexico, and would not have kept Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan as a White House military aide.
Morris May Quit Over Questionnaires

Three Persons Killed When Reds Hit Train
Morris said he plans to send financial questionnaires to "about 25,000" top government employees, and that the questions on income, gifts and favors will be "very searching."
Stassen To Enter May Oregon Primary

The former Minnesota governor's Washington headquarters said he will file March 10 with the Oregon secretary of state.

UN Fighters Down 200th Russian MIG
Washington—(U.P.)-Sen. Paul H. Douglas, who once proposed that both parties nominate Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for president, said today he now fears Eisenhower may wind up without either party's nomination.

Sen. Douglas Fears Ike May Be Omitted
Nice. France—(U,P)—All 37 persons aboard, including an American-born ballerina who had just danced "of love and death." were killed today in the takeoff crash of a French liner.
Airport officials said two of the plane's four engines apparently failed after it ran into a flock of migrating birds while straining to gain altitude over this holiday city.
"Gen. Eisenhower doesn't want the (Democratic) nomination he can get, and he apparently is going to have great difficulty getting the (Republican nomination he wants." Dallas told a reporter.
The authorization approved a request by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
French Plane Crash Kills Thirty-Seven
Further study of preliminary plans for more housing at the University has been authorized by the Kansas board of regents.
Preliminary studies made in the past bogged down due to financing. Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said that the new studies will probably incorporate some of the previous plans.
The airliner crashed in La Valentine valley, a little more than half a mile from Nice airport, and burned. One of the 34 passengers survived the crash, but died in the hospital. All four crew members were killed instantly.
"Our existing facilities are filled to overflowing with students," he said. "University officials realize that more dormitories are needed, but before we can make studies, we must have the approval of the Board of Regents. Now that we have the approval, studies will probably begin immediately."
Mr. Lawton said, "One of the biggest needs at the University is more University housing for students, especially men students."
Dorm Study Authorized
The studies are expected to consider possible locations for dormitories, size of the units, types of buildings, financing and other specific needs.
