Seas Are Subsiding Along East Coast At Least 83 Deaths Blamed On Weather United Press International Seas slowly subsided along the Atlantic Seaboard Thursday, marking the expiring gasp of a week-long weather onslaught that flailed the nation from coast to coast. .. • Mild seasonal weather replaced the wintry extremes that saw heavy rains along the West Coast, sub-zero temperatures throughout the Plums and Midwest, and an icy i off the New England coast. : At the gale’s peak at least four ships had been disabled in the Atlantic. But reports from the Boston Coast Guard early 'Diursday said the only vessel still in trouble was the 110-foot fishing trawler Lillian 8., 140 miles off Cape Cod. A Coast Guard cutter was standing by, waiting for waves —once 50-feet high but now 10-15 feet high—to recede still more so the trawler cOtifd be towed in. The storm also iced up pipelines in the village of North Tonawanda, N.Y., Wednesday, cutting off the water supply to 33,00 inhabitants. A 6,000 - gallon pump and a number of smaller pumps were brought into operation- and eased■ the ' shortage considerably by late' 5 Wednesday. -' '■-■ ■ ■ '. Across the border in Canada, i hundreds of travelers and families were stranded by mammoth snows swept into huge drifts by freezing winds. . Road crews had -cut through much of the drift, and a small column of travelers was able to move out of snowbound Napierville, Que., late Wednesday. • Weather-blamed deaths, of I which at least 52 were caused by i fires, came to at least 83 in the I past week. Three persons were found asphyxiated late Wednesday at Shreveport, La., victims of fumes from unlit gas heaters. The U.S. Weather Bureau predicted rain along the West Coast Thursday—for the fifth consecutive day—spreading into central California and into the Great Basin. Early morning reports showed scattered light snows -from- the Rockies along the northern tier of states to Maine, and fog and drizzle from the .central Gulf Coast and into the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys.

Says Mikoyan Visit Attempt At Settlement East German Leader Says Settlement Sought On Berlin BERLIN (UPD—An East German leader said today Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan is in the United States to try and settle the East-West dispute over Berlin. Gerald Goetting, general secretary of the Communist-dominated Christian Democratic Union of the Soviet Zone, made the statement in an interview with the East German News Service. “The trip of Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan shows that the Soviet Union uses every opportunity to eradicate world trouble spots through negotiations, Goetting said. The East German leader’s statement partially-tended to confirm reports from Washington that Mikoyan has given hints of a softening of the Soviet position on Berlin. Goetting made no other mention of Mikoyan in his 700-word interview. Nor did he show any sign that the East is backing down from its demand that West Berlin be made a demilitarized, free city. He said Western rejection of the proposal could make its execution difficult but would not be able to block it. He repeated that East Germany Will assume control of the air and land routes to West Berlin. The Communists today charged the West with misusing the vital lifelines from Berlin to the West for aggressive purposes. A note handed to Soviet Ambassador G. M. Pervukhin said East Germany would take over control of the land and air routes running to the city through Eastr German territory. The note was in answer to a Soviet note of Nov. 27 proposing West Berlin be made a free, demilitarized city. The East German reply denounced the Western Occupation of the city in the harshest terms and showed no sign that the Communists had backed down on the original Soviet demand that the "West quit Berlin. . , Control of the highway, rail and air links to- West Germany are vital to the Western position in Berlin. The Soviets would need an all-out war to force Western troops out of the City, but a complete blockade of Western supply lines would place severe pressure on the Allies.

Bitterness Lingers Over Martin Defeat Backers See Nixon Hand In Proceeding WASHINGTON (UPD— Republican senators emerged today from their leadership contest without visible scars but bitterness threatened to linger indefinitely among GOP House members. Supporters of the deposed House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin read all sorts of meanings into his defeat two days ago by Rep. Charles A. Halleck. , They professed to see evidence that Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Thomas E. Dewey, twice the GOP presidential nominee, had played a part in Martin’s defeat. The White House explicitly denied Martin’s assertion that three White House aides—but not President Eisenhower—had worked for rfalleck. Denies Nixon Role Sources close to Nixon also denied that he had taken any part. One informant" said Martin telephoned Nixon to ask if the vice president were helping Halleck and was assured that Nixon was not encouraging the anti campaign. Rep. Robert C. Wilson (R-Calif.)

a friend of Nixon, said "it was mere coincidence that Nixon's friends in the House were on the Halleck bandwagon. He said they wanted a younger leader than the 74-year-old Martin. “This was no Nixon movement,” Wilson said. Reports of pressure from the Dewey camp were attributed to ' private explanations within the New York House delegation for giving support to Halleck. Dirksen Beats Cooper Halleck helped Dewey win the 1948 presidential nomination and expected to get second place on the Republican ticket' —a prize which went instead to then Gov. Earl Warren of California. Only time would tell how much time would be needed to heal the wounds left by the Halleck-Martin contest —In contrast. Senate Republicans were talking unity in the wake of Illinois Sen. Everett M. Dirksen’s 20 - 14 victory Wednesday over Sen. John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky for the GOP floor leadership.
