Teddy Nadler Wows TV Quiz Viewers Terrific Memory Is Shown By Clerk NEW YORK (UP) — Teddy Nadler is a frugal man. He turns the lights off in his Manhattan hotel room before he goes out. He checks to make sure he has not left the water running. He has brought up a family of three boys on a salary of S7O a week and he knows the value of a buck. But he is not economical with words. They pour out of him in a ! torrent. They spill from his lips like quarters from a Jackpot. He suffers from total recall. A word, an image, will set him off on a train of facts he seems powerless 1 to halt. * Nadler is the 47-year-old clerk from St. Louis who currently is wowing the customers on CBSTV’s "The $64,000 Challenge.” Last August, he walked off with $16,000 in a tie match against the Egan brothers, a couple of quiz whizzes themselves from Hartford, Conn. Last December on the show. Nadler picked up another $16,000 in a match against seven assorted experts. Since Jan. 27, Nadler has been ’ squaring off against another covey of specialists in “Challenge.” Thus 1 far, he has won $32,000 in "European history" and reached the $4,000 and SI,OOO levels in "base-1 ball” and the “Civil War.” His garrulity cost him SB,OOO last Sunday when he over-answered a musical question, supplying some incorrect information on the key of a Beethoven symphony. His memory is fantastic. It is what the psychologists call "eiditic.” Nadler knows the most minute details of some 1,000 battles. He can rattle off the square mileage of 198 different countries. He can recall the number of doubles Kiki Cuyler hit in 1928 and the number of years that Louis XIV reigned over France. He once memorized Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar" in a few days and stopped all work at the Army depot center where he is employed by delivering it over a period of 3 hours and 55 minutes.

March 1 Blusters Into United States High Waters Plague Pacific Northwest By UNITED PRESS March blustered into the nation today with an ice storm in the East, floodwaters in the Northwest and rain in the Southwest. Freezing rain or sleet slicked highways from eastern Ohio through Pennsylvania and into southern New York and southern New England and south to Vir-, ginia Thursday night and early today. Weathermen said the freezing rain will advance over most of the rest of the north Atlantic Coast states today. They warned of dangerous driving conditions throughout the area. The storm dumped up to onehalf inch of precipitation at Richmond, Va., and Atlantic City, N.J., and rain fell as far southward as Alabama and Georgia. Floods, although ebbing, continued to plague a three-state area in the Pacific Northwest. Authorities said it will take another two days for flood waters to drain from the town of Wilson Creek, Wash., where about 300 residents were forced to flee. Some of the residents returned to their homes Thursday to begin salvage work, but most of the community’s 70 flooded homes remained abandoned. Most resiI dents spent another night in a i church and school located on higher ground or with friends in
