Here, a tractor pushes a stalled auto through the heavy snow near one of the runways at New York’s LaGuardia Field. The ceiling at the airport was less than 100 feet and visibility was zero, so that no planes (like one Ln the background) arrived or departed throughout the day. The field itself was completely isolated with no buses, limousines or taxis running. (.International)

40 Residents Os Adams County Home Cheered By Visits Forty residents of the county home are repeatedly learning these days that they haven’t been forgotten. Frank Kitson, home superintendent, said today that a large number of churches, church groups, Scouts, fraternal clubs and ladies' organizations have been sending delegations out to cheer up the oldsters. The groups have been appearing at the home intermittently during the holiday season until an estimated 500 visitors have called at the institution, he said. Just prior to and on Christmas Day residents of the home received “treats" and gifts. Other groups presented short musical and religious programs. Os the 40 residents of the home, 29 are men. The youngest is 40 and a majority are in or near the 7Q’s, Mr. Kitson said. Mr. Kitson, his wife, who serves as matron, and the residents of the home expressed today their sincere appreciation to all those who added to the holiday spirit at the institution. o Ronald Byers Hurt In Auto Accident Ronald Byers, 31, of route six,] Decatur, is recovering at the Adams | county memorial hospital here from injuries sustained in an auto accident Saturday. Byers sustained severe facial lacerations whbn his car overturned on U. S. 33, five miles southeast of the city. He told sheriff Herman Bowman that his auto skidded on the icy pavement and that when it hit a “dry spot” it rolled over. Joe Avery, Willshire, 0., and Walter Kaehr, route four, escaped in- 1 jury when their cars collided at an | intersection six miles west of Cop-, pess Corner. Sheriff Bowman esti-1 mated damage at SSO to both cars, i The crash occurred Christmas Day. I

A list of instructions on how to make applications for the operator's license is found in the envelopes. The change in the law does not apply to holders of chauffeur’s li censes — and those, along with the new plates, must be secured by February 29.

has been named vice president of DePauw University in charge of the department of financial promotion and public relations, Dr. Clyde E. Wildman, president, and Dr. Roy O. West, president of the board of trustees, said today in a joint announcement. o Assistant Pastor's Father Is Critical The Rev. Ignatius Vichuras, assistant pastor at St. Mary’s Catholic church, Saturday was called to his parental home in Gary, due to the critical illness of his father. Mr. Vichuras suffered a cerebral hemorrhage last Friday. o GREEKS CHARGE (Continued from Page 1) border. Other sources reported that Vafthiades himself had taken command in the field. Guerrillas captured in the snowswept mills said Vafthiades had placed himself in the leadership of seven battalions of his soldiers. They said they had been told that artillery and air force reinforcements were expected from “outside Greece.” The Athens government’s coun-ter-offensive was reported gaining ground in several sectors around the broad arc of hostilities in Epirus. Guerrilla losses were reported heavy in hand to hand fighting around Konitsa, the mountain stronghold near the Albanian border which Vafthiades was reported to covet as the seat for his “free Greece” government. Field dispatches described heavy fighting marked by bayonet charges on communist posts between Konitsa and loannina, the capital of Epirus. Thirty-eight guerrilla bodies were reported found in the districts of Rambala Heights and near Yeroplatanos and Mavrovousion. 0 AUTO WRECKED (Continued from Page 1) Elston was taken to St. John’s hospital and Mrs. Northrup to Memorial hospital. Extent of their injuries was not determined immediately but police said Mrs. Northrup was in a “highly nervous” condition and could not be questioned immediately. They were questioning Elston. Police said a car was stolen in Springfield this morning and later was found near Chatham. They believed Elston may have taken the car and abandoned it before he allegedly accosted the two women. Mrs. Lindquist said she and her sister were on their way to visit relatives.

PREDICT LESS (Continued from Page 1) “A distinction should be made between food grains, such as wheat, which provide human food, and feed grains, such as corn, which provide feed for livestock.” 0 STORM HALTS (Continued from Page 1) managed to fly low over the scene yesterday. The first C-47’s emergency landing was believed caused by the intense cold. One paratrooper of the trio dropped through a dense “snow fog” was blown more than two miles from the wreckage and was forced to snowshoe to the crash scene. 0 THIRD PARTY (Continued from Page 11 An elaboration of that program appears to be what Wallace plans tonight. Since his Detroit speech, l the principal leaders of organized labor have repudiated Wallace’s repeated third party threats. But the extreme left wing of American politics has rallied around him. In addition to the Communists he has the organized backing of the Progressive citizens of America, a Communist infiltrated organization, and of some lesser groups. The Communist element of New York’s American Labor party is plugging Wallace for president in 1948. Wallace repeatedly has charged that the Democratic party is becoming a “war party.” Last October he told a Baltimore, Md.. audience he would help organize or even lead a 1948 third party if the Democratic party continues to remain a war party. His address tonight is being

sponsored by tTie Illinois Progressive party. Party officials said he would receive a delegation of citizens “from throughout the midwest” and an appeal from negro leaders to “give new year hope to our people and all other freedomloving Americans by declaring yourself a candidate.” Among those expected to confer with Wallace in Chicago are Robert W. Kenny, former attorney general of California who heads the “Democrats for Wallace” movement in that state: Hugh W. Bryson, chairman of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union (CIO); and Elmer A. Benson, former governor £nd U. S. senator from Minnesota. The Progressive Citizens of America announced that Wallace would speak before a Citizens’ rally in Milwaukee tomorrow night. Wallace cancelled a scheduled personal appearance at Tulsa, Okla., yesterday so nothing would

him from being on hand in Chicago tonight. But his Tulsa audience, 2,500 members of a negro fraternity, heard a reading of his speech by Clark Foreman, an official of the southern conference for human welfare. Wallace’s speech did not mention a third party but Foreman said the American people need a thiid party and a person “they can vote for without holding their noses.” — o — EX-ITALY KING (Continued from Page 1) but the gesture did him little good. His name was too closely linked to fascist excesses. Trying to save the throne for the house of Savoy, Victor Emmanuel abdicated in favor of Humbert in May, 1946. He gave up his titles as king of Italy, king of Albania and emperor of Ethiopia and went into exile in Egypt.

Humbert Wield the throne f or less than a month. On June 2 1946, the people of Italy voted to abolish the monarchy in favor of a rupublic.

First reports from the scene at Damascus Gate said six Arabs and one British constable were killed, and three Arabs were wounded gravely. Still later 12 Arabs were reported slain and 15 others injured. One British constable was killed outright at the scene of the explosion. Another was shot dead by an infuriated band of Arabs inside the old city near the closed Damascus Gate. A Jew, described as one of the attackers at the gate, was report-
