‘Cuts Path ‘Through East

By United Press A severe snow and sleet storm

day after blanketing the Midwest with snow and ice that broke communications lines and glazed highways dangerously. The storm cut along a path from western Pennsylvania) through upper New York State to] the Atlantic Coast.

Portland, Me., was buried under a 12-inch snow cover, six inches of which fell in a six-hour period, and it was still snowing heavily.! The southern reaches of New England suffered severe glazing. New York City and coastal areas to the south were doused by rain.

18 Inches of Snow in Maine

Some parts of northern Maine had 18 inches of snow on the ground. Two persons] died while shovel] ing away snow in northern New. England. One hardware store in Concord, N. H., which had 10 inches of snow, sold 67 shovels in six hours. The weather bureau warned against unnecessary travel in Maine and New Hampshire. Freezing temperature was forecast for tomorrow. The storm was blamed for at least nine traffic deaths wy scores of injuries in the Midwest.

Southern Illinois was hit hard- | est with thousands of homes and! business firms cut off from power | ,and communications. Only one long distance line was open to Cairo, Ill, and all service was knocked out to nearby cities.

1000 Homes Without Heat

More than 1000 homes in the| Cairo area were without light, heat or telephone service.

The Midwest was promised a comparatively mild week-end but forecasters warned that a storm was “trying to get started” over] Missouri and could follow the| same path as the present blow. Another storm was sweeping| inland off the Pacific along the Oregon and Washington coasts and forecasters said it would bring snow to the northern Rockies Sunday. It might, they sald, move into the northern plains Monday if it picked up strength. The warmer weather in Iowa created a fog in which four young persons were killed when they drove their automobile into the side of a freight train near Oran,
