Twelve persons had ailed ir. Colorado as a result of the series of storms, chiefly from heart attacks brought on by over-exer-tion wading through deep snow or struggling with stalled automobiles.

PRESIDENT IN APPEAL TO NEW CONGRESS MR. TRUMAN ASKS REPUBLICANS TO COOPERATE WITH HIM
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 — (UPl President Triunan, admitting the possibility of "serious difficulties” running this government, today appealed to the new Republican Congress to cooperate with him for the welfare of the
people.
After reviewing the possible difficulties which, threaten, ns the result of having a Republican Congress with the executive branch controlled by the Democrats, Mr. Truman put forth his policy for the next two years: "I am guided by a simple formula: to do in all eases, from day to day, without regard to narrow political considerations, what seems bo me to be the best for the welfare of all our people. Our search for that welfare must always be based upon a progres sive concept of government. "I shall cooperate in every proper manner with the members of Congress, and my hope and prayer is that this spirit of cooperation will be rciprocated. “To them, one and all, I plqdge. faith with faith, and promise to
