First Heavy Snow Blows Self Out By United Press International The Midwest’s first heavy snow storm of the season blew itself out as it reached the Great Lakes early today, but not before it played a role in eight deaths. A wide band of snow was dumped across South Dakota through Minnesota into Michigan. Michigan counted five dead in weather-related traffic accidents, Minnesota two and Wisconsin one. The heaviest snowfall was eight inches at Willmar, Minn. Minnea-i polis and St. Paul, Minn., coped with a 5-inch fall which snarled traffic and caused numerous minor accidents. The storm left four inches of snow at Eau Claire, Wis., and Menominee and Stevenson, Mich., and Deadwood, S.D. Watertown, S.D., received three inches as did Wausau, Wis., and 2-inch falls were deposited at Lemmon and Aberdeen, S.D. Light snow fell early today from Michigan into western New York state. Elsewhere generally fair skies were predicted for today. » Warmer temperatures were expected today from the Rocky Mountain region into the Mid- , west, with cooler readings on tap from Texas through the Ohio Valley.

Minnesota Governor Race Is Undecided ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) — The winner of Minnesota’s photo-finish battle for governor will not be announced by the state canvassing board until Monday at the earliest. Republican Gov. Elmer L. Andersen now leads his DemocraticFarmer - Labor challenger, Lt. Gov. Karl Rolvaag, by 139 votes in the UPI tabulation. But the DFL has protested that canvass corrections in seven counties, which swung the lead to Andersen, were illegal. If the board rejects the changes, the DFL said, Rolvaag would lead by 58. Regardless, the board’s decision will be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and a recount inevitably will follow that. The canvassing board certified winners in all other races late Friday but then recessed until Monday so the GOP could prepare answers to the DFL charges about canvass changes. DFL candidate A.M. (Sandy) Keith was certified as lieutenant governor - elect. He had 612,024 votes, compared with 607,227 for C. Donald Peterson, the Republican candidate. Peterson has said he will demand a recount.
