Cold Relief Comes After Drop to 9; New Blasts on Way

Most of U. S. Suffers; Michigan Digs Out; South Shivers.

(Continued From Page One)

Jacksonville recorded 34 degrees _above zero and Tampa 40 above. Miarni reported 66 above, but faces colder weather by tonight. Chicago's reading fell to a low of 2 above today, but Mr. Lloyd forecast it would rise to 18 this aft-|: ernoon and as high as 28 tomorrow before the effect of the second movemens of cold was felt. Earlier forecasts had predicted the cold wave would not abate this week, but today’s report brought the Dromise of a slight respite.

44 Below in Alberta

Lowest temperatures reported in the United States today were 20 degrees below zero at Wausau, Wis, and Bemidji, Minn. Freezing temperatures were reported as far south as San Antonio, Tex. and throughout Alabama. Florence, Ala. recorded a l4-degree minimum and Atlanta, Ga., saw its thermometers drop to 20. The second cold wave sent the temperature down to 44 below zzro at Edmonton, Alta., and subzero temperatures were forecast for Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and North and South Dakota tomorrow night. Light snowfalls were reported in the Great lakes states, New England and New York. Gales which swept Michigan yesterday, causing snow drifts to block roads, dissipated today and enable workers to clear roads and restore broken communication lines. 100 Flee Fire in Cold At Toledo; O., the threat of a water shortage was averted as milliéns of gallons of water rolled back into the Maumee River from Lake Erie, where the water had been pushed by strong off-shore winds. Reservoirs which had been nearly exhausted were filling rapidly. Two aged men died from heart attacks after trying to walk against a 66-mile-an-hour wind at Buffalo, N.Y. : At International Falls, Minn, more than 100 persons were forced into 20 below zero weather early today when one of the worst fires in the city’s history destroyed two hotels, two barrooms and two cafes. Loss was estimated at nearly $100,000. The fire started in the furnace room of the Walhalla Bar and spread to the Victoria and the Svea Hotels.

Blizzard Trails Fail To Halt Wanderer

WINNIPEG, Can. Dec. 28 (U. P.). Canadian blizzards and sub-zero ternperatures mean nothing to Jean De Vaudreuil, 71, one-armed Belgian war veteran and wanderer. He said he would start out on foot to"day for Vancouver, B. C. despite howling winds and a heavy snow. He has roamed the world for years and claims to have hiked 53.677 miles through Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Arnericas.

Motorists Warned

Police warned motorists that driving would still be hazardous even though yesterday’s traffic had chopped up and removed some of the ice at bad stretches. They pointed out, however, that because there had been no “appreciable snow, all roads were passable in the state. The temperature rose to 10 above at 4 a. m. and continued to move upward. While the cold resulted in several fires from overheated furnaces yesterday, the Fire Department reported none from that origih overnight. Two auto fires were reported, however. Slackening winds lessened the severity of the cold for city residents who yesterday fought stiff winds of 30 miles an hour and more. The wind velocity was reported at five miles an hour at the Municipal Airport at 8 a. m.

Transportation Service Formed The highest wind of the wave came at 11 p. m. Monday when a shrill wind of 40 miles-an-hour velocity moved over the city. The suddenness of the cold wave caught some transportation companies off guard partially disrupting service early yesterday. Bus, traction and plane schedules were operating on time today. The Power & Light Co. reported no trouble with its circuits and the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. reported the near-zero temperatures had caused no trouble with lines.

Six Overcome by Fumes

In Kokomo Pastor’s Home

KOKOMO, Ind. Dec. 28 (U. P)). —PFiremen early today revived six members of the family of the Rev. Allen Rice, Methodist minister here, who were overcome by fumes from an overheated furnace. Prompt use of an inhalator was credited with saving their lives.

EXPLORER’S DEATH REPORTED CHURCHILL, Man., Dec. 28 (U. P.).—Radio advices from Repulse Bay, on the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, said today an Eskimo from the village of Igloolik, 800 miles north of here, had trekked in to report the death last September of Reynold Bray, 28, British explorer.

Josiah W. Bailey (D. N. C.) F. Byrd (D. Va.) and Ellison D. Smith (D. S. C.), planned to renew attempts to abolish WPA and turn its administrative functions over to the individual states. These efforts may be strengthened by the finding of the campaign expenditures investigators. Chairman Morris Sheppard (D. Tex.) said he hoped to make the committee's report public on Jan. 2, the day before the 76th Congress convenes. Although the report may not criticize Mr. Hopkins, it is expected to attack severely the activities of WPA personnel in some states, Senator Wallace H. White Jr. of Maine, only Republican on the committee, indicated that the findings of the Democratic majority would be so “strong” that it would be? unnecessary for him to file a minority report.

New Deal Seeks

Rules Committee Control WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 (U. P.). -~Administration leaders in the House sought today to smoothe the path for New Deal legislation in the next Congress by recapturing control of the rules committee. A In order to accomplish this, they believed it would be necessary to

retain the present 10 to 4 Democratic majority and not grant Republicans increased representation in line with G. O. P. congressional rains in the November election. Four members of last year’s rules committee, which provided the Administration with some of its biggest headaches, were defeated for ele sion, Two of them, Reps. Arthur H. Greenwood (D. Ind.) and Byron B. Harlan (D. O.) were Administration votes. The other two, Chairman John J. O'Connor (D. N. Y)) victim of President Roosevelt's campaign to defeat anti-New Dealers,” and Rep. William J. Driver (D. Ark.) were inclined to balk at White House leadership. Thus the Administration is in a position to add four friendly members to the vital committee, and to gain the chairmanship in the person of Rep. Adolf J. Sabath (D. IIL), a dependable New Dealer, who succeeds Mr. O'Connor. . But even with this increased pro-
