Southern California, which had , been hit by its worst cropdulling freeze in history, thawed out as temperatures rose. Arizona reported that the cold snap was its worst since 1937. The floods in the south and midwest and the freezing weather in the far west both were by products of the big blizzard which snapped a huge vortex of bad weather

around the nation as it scourged the great plains. Two families were wiped out in the whiplashing storm. A snowplow crew found the bodies of Phil Roman. 35. his wife, lone. 35. and their children. Tony,

11 and Peggy, 9, where they had died amidst 20-foot drifts when their light truck stalled near Ault, Colo. Less than a mile from the ranchhouse the family was trying to reach, the crew found Mrs. Roman's body huddled protectively over that of Peggy. Fifty feet away they found Roman, his frozen body still sheltering his dead son. At Hillsdale, Wyo„ searchers found the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Archuleta and their daughter, Nancy, 5, where they were caught by the blizzard after visiting friends at Burns, Wyo. The latest victim of the storm was William W. McHodgkins, 55, who died in a Torrington. Wyo., hospital of carbon monoxide poisoning. The heavy snow jammed the flue of his home, causing the fumes to back up into the house. BACK BULLITT (Cont. From Page One) indicated willingness to lead such a group again. In contrast to some U. ( S. officials who have all but written off Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's government. Bullitt told newsmen: "It is late, very late, but not too late.”

LEGISLATURE (Cont. From Page One) < terday by the house. Sen. John A. Kendall. R., Dan- I ville, introduced a bill setting I mandatory penalties for rape con- ] victions. One of the terms of the | bill was castration for men con- I victed of rape in the first degree.. I Another provided for life terms in | prison for men convicted of first-11 degree rape of girls under 12 | years of age. Meanwhile political dissension I over direct primary legislation appeared to be limited to a race I between both parties to push their own measure into law. ' A Republican representative i' said today he will introduce a di- [ red primary bill Monday. Demo- ' cratic leaders said, their measure 1 was “being written.” < But a legislative battle loomed on the question, nevertheless, as < the assembly convened for its second day of limited activity. Both houses met briefly before I going into joint session to formalize the election of Democratic . Gov.-elect Henry F. Schricker. It j

He said it would propose that state legislative candidates and holdovers and the state central committee of each party serve as delegates to draft party platforms “thus eliminating the prospect of embarrassing platforms written by persons not in the legislature.' Rep. Walter Maehling, D., Terre Haute, majority leader of the Democratic-controlled house, said his party would have a direct primary bill ready soon. The Democratic p’atform pledged a direct primary and strapping of the GOP sponsored convention reform law, enacted two years ago. With the Republicans in the majority in the senate, a dog fight appeared in the making on the issue.
