Wanning Trend Is . Promised Indiana Spring Arrives In Rash Os Snowfall By UNITED PRESS A week-end warm-up in Indiana Was welcome news from the weatherman today. But he didn’t advise getting airconditioners in working order. $ On the first morning of spring, which arrived Thursday night amid a rash of snow flurries, forecasters found the future holds promise of a slight warming trend' Saturday afternoon in the south portion, and a general warming trend Sunday and Monday. However, the five-day outlook, poking even farther into the future, Indicated it will turn colder Tuesday and that average temperatures for the period ending next Wednesday would range 2 to 5 degrees below normal Light snow in the northwest portion Thursday glazed highways in spots and contributed to two traffic fatalities.

Confessed Slayer Commits Suicide Killed Self Rather Than Face Arrest DULUTH, Minn. (UP)— Police today sought evidence a confessed “grudge slayer’’ may have killed another person before taking his own life. Their fears were based on a blood-stained sheet found in the car of Clifford Berggren, 28, who died Thursday night in St Luke’s Hospital, hours after shooting himself in the head rather than face arrest. Sheriff Sam Owens said a note in Berggren's car confessed the Tuesday night murder of Arnold Floyd Johnson, 23, an hoYK>r-stu-dent at the University of Minnesota’s Duluth branch. Johnson watfl shot as he fled from a service station where he worked part time. Berggren, an experienced woodsman, had fled into the Minnesota wilderness after the shooting. His car was spotted early Thursday by aerial searchers who contacted a land posse that trudged through knee-deep snows in pursuit Arriving at the car, the deputies found Berggren’s confession note. It read “I killed Floyd. He took my life so I took his. Very, very sorry.” Following fresh tracks from the car, deputies heard a shot ring out and later came upon the unconscious Berggren. Investigation disclose d that Johnson was one of six persons Berggren had singled out for death because they had "damaged his reputation.” Police said Berggren gave no reason why he thought the six had damaged his reputation, but that he believed they hated him. They said Berggren apparently suffered from a persecution complex Police Chief Walter Wiski said Berggren’s relatives informed him of the list, but only knew five of the names. Four of the intended victims were warned by police and left town during the two-day search. Johnson was the fifth. Crime lab experts today tested bloodstains found on the sheet and in Berggren’s car to determine if ' human blood — possibly the sixth. ( person's—had been spilled.

Benefits under the veterans programs are fixed by law. Thus, the committee was merely scaling down the administration’s estimate of what these programs would cost, rather than achieving any actual savings. Congress would have to make up any shortage later. The committee also made minor reductions-in budget requests for the Federal Communications Com-| mission, and the Federal Power i Commission, the Federal Trade' Commission and a number of I other independent agencies. ;

Slight Increase In Spring Pig Crop Six Per Cent Boost In Crop Indicated WASHINGTON (UP)—The Agriculture Department's spring pig crop report was probably welcome news to midwestern Republican congressmen who seek re-election this fall. The pig report Thursday indicate# the 1958 spring crop will be 6 per cent larger than the 1957 spring crop in the 10 Corn Belt states. Many had feared the crop would be much larger because of an abundant supply of feed grains. The 1958 spring pigs will hit the market as full-grown hogs just at election time. Low hog prices usually mean fewer votes for incumbent congressmen in the cornhog area. The majority of congressmen E the Cora Belt are Republicans. A department economist said the 6 per cent increase meant farmers were sticking to their breeding intentions as indicated last December. The economist said the increase would mean the seasonal price decline this fall would be only a “little" more than usual- He said anticipated prices of hogs this fall would not make farmers happy. But he said prices will not be low enough “to create a hullabaloo over the hog industry going to the dogs.” There will be no debacle as in 1955, he said, when a big supply of spring pigs caused hog prices to drop to 110.60 a hundredweight in December of that yeai*. Moscow Request For Jet Landing Denied WASHINGTON (IP) — The United States has turned down a Moscow request to let two Soviet jet airliners land in the New York area with about 150 members of a Russian dance ensemble, it was learned today. In a note, the State Department said it welcomes Soviet plans to bring the Moiseev dance troupe|to this country. But the depari- ■ ment suggested the Russians I “make arrangements for travel to the United States by some. | other means.”

SNOWS (Continued from page one) heated public buildings. About 5,000 persons spent the night at a public school in Glassboro, N.J,, and authorities at Trenton, N.J., ordered the armory opened and cots set up for persons without heat in their homes Thousands of Motorists Stranded An estimated 1,000 motorists stranded on the Pennsylvania Turnpike were taken to a Howard Johnson restaurant near Brandywine. Some were rescued from stalled autos by a helicopter from Olmstead Air Base. At New York, two commercial airliners skidded off runways at Idlewild Airport during the snowstorm Thursday right, but all 64 persons aboard the two aircraft eseaped injury. Scores of air flights from major eastern airports were cancelled as a result of the storm. At sea, a Coast Guard cutter fought through heavy waves to rescue 11 men aboard a helpless fishing vessel. The craft, "Carol and Estelle,” broke down Thursday about 140 miles east of Cape Cod. The cutter, the Acushnet,/ headed out to sea after another cutter, the Gen. Greene, was forced to turn back from the rescue mission Thursday night when trailing lines from a smashed lifeboat wrapped around its propeller. Units of the Atlantic Fleet stood by with full steam up in Narragansett Bay, ready to put out to sea if necessary to ride out the gale. Trade in a *nwn — Decntu
