Four Killed In The State During Storm
Chicago, March 27—(U.P.)—One of the biggest spring storms in history pushed northeastward toward Canada today after battering the mid-continent with tornadic winds, dust, snow and rain that killed nine persons and left two children missing. Four persons were killed in auto accidents during the storm in Kansas.
The center of the storm, much of its force spent, moved from Kansas to eastern South Dakota and veered eastward over the Minnesota-Iowa border. Winds of 75 miles an hour, part of the backlash from the widespread storm, hit Jackson, Miss., today but there were no reports of damage.
Flying dust which reduced visibility yesterday to nearly zero was blamed for automobile accidents that killed four persons in Kansas, three in Texas and one each in Colorado and Nebraska.
Philip Bell, 9, and his brother Kenneth, 7, were lost in a brushy, cave-pocked area south of the Kansas City, Mo., city limits. They disappeared Sunday at the height of a dust and wind storm. Their parents feared they may have been hurt.
Indications were that the swirling clouds of dust would strike again today in central Kansas. Skies began to blacken early too, but the wind moved over City area and winds that subsided overnight were slowly increasing.
The heavy curtain of dust produced 30 accidents in central and south-central Kansas Sunday, resulting in two deaths in the Salina area and two others near McPherson.
Mr. and Mrs. Waclaw Kolez of Bavaria, Kan. Polish displaced persons, were killed in a pile-up of 19 cars on U.S. Highway 40 west of Salina, Mrs. H. G. Brandt, 55 of Wichita, died in a two-car collision on highway 81 seven miles south of McPherson and L.C. Parks, about 50 of Mound Ridge, Kan., suffered fatal injuries in a two-car crash near his home.
THE WEATHER
KANSAS: Generally fair today and Tuesday. Colder east, warmer extreme west today; strong west to northwest winds, diminishing slowly today. Highs 55 to 65 degrees.

She worked also in a few motion pictures in which she had singing parts. In addition to her musical studies at the conservatory, she attended Charles university at Prague, preparing for graduate work in the field of history.
The coup by the Communists stopped this, and the family fled the country, eventually coming to America. Through friends in Washington, arrangements were made for Miss Hasalova to continue her advanced music work at K.U.
