Storms Belt Opposite Coasts By United Press International Two storm systems worried opposite sides of the country today, heavy snow smothered sections of the West. Thunderstorms rumbled through the upper southlands of the East. Most roads in the Sierras of California were closed today due to a blizzard that dropped up to two feet of snow. Truckee, Calif., in the Tahoe north shore area was almost isolated. The storm system brought rain and hail, in addition to the snow to northern California. Some 50,000 persons were drenched Sunday when clouds opened up on San Francisco’s St Patrick’s Day parade. On the other side of the nation, a mass of turbulent weather produced at least two tornadoes. Holly Hill, S. C., was hit by a possible tornado which destroyed eight barns and 16 other outbuildings. No injuries were reported. Six houses were destroyed and at least 35 others damaged when high winds and torrential rain hit the hollows of Whitley County Kentucky. State police reported five persons injured. Hail “the size of baseballs” was reported across southern Illinois and near Evansville, Ind. The Western storm produced travelers’ warnings in sections of California, Nevada, Utah and Idaho. Elko, Nev., measured a foot of snow in 12 hours Sunday. High temperature records were set Sunday in Dixie where the mercury hit 90 degrees at Jacksonville, Fla. Three Arrested, Two Are Jailed

major scandal.

After nearly a year of investigating, the select six-member Senate Ethics Committee was to open hearings on charges of conflict of interest. The Connecticut Democrat is also accused of pocketing campaign funds and double and triple-

charging for air fares.

The hearings were scheduled

The resumption of the Dodd investigation came on the heels of the House’s investigation and expulsion of former Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., on charges of payroll padding and misuse of public funds. Powell has taken his case to court and also plans to run for re-election to his former seat. Last year, the Senate ethics panel investigated charges that Dodd permitted his influence to he used by Chicago public relations man Julius Klein, a registered agent for West German interests.

DETROIT UPI—James A. Tehansky, 21, had the desire but not the build to become a Detroit fireman, and three months ago flunked the departmental physical. But the burly 200-pounder is a hero, anyway. Saturday he raced into a burning apartment building and rescued 12 persons. Squatters Rights ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. UPI —Two traveling salesmen checked into a motel Sunday night and left the door open while they brought in their luggage.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Johnson administration, determined to increase the pressure on Hanoi, is looking for new bombing targets in North Vietnam, according to official sources. What the new targets in North Vietnam will be is a decision that must be made by President Johnson. But there is increasing mention in some quarters of bombing one of the new jet airfields, the North Vietnamese air defense headquarters, or industrial facilities north of Hanoi and Haiphong. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and Secretary of State Dean Rusk made it clear during the weekend that the administration is convinced a unilateral halt to bombing would delay rather than hasten peace talks. Rusk said Hanoi could carry on its war against South Vietnam another 50 years if the United States stopped bombing North Vietnam. The secretary of state made the statement on ABC-TV’s program Issues and Answers. Rusk said a bombing halt would relieve North Vietnam of the penalties of waging war, and would allow Hanoi to continue aggression in the south. “That’s the way to prolong it (the war) indefinitely,” Rusk

said.

Humphrey, speaking in Oklahoma City, said the North Vietnamese took advantage of the Tet bombing pause to move into South Vietnam “enough supplies for 50,000 men . . . and the big guns now being used on our troops. “If you think stopping the bombing will win the war. why didn’t it stop it before,” he said. “We walked the extra mile for peace. We are offering a cease fire now, but we mean both

sides.”

WASHINGTON UPI — Pres, ident Johnson meets with key diplomatic and military advisers today in preparation for the forthcoming Vietnam strategy talks on the Pacific island of

Guam.

The Chief Executive, who returned Sunday night from a quiet weekend at Camp David, scheduled a White House luncheon session with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, Walt W. Rostow, presidential adviser on national security affairs, and Press Secretary George Christian. All are to accompany Johnson to Guam this weekend for talks with Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. military commander in Vietnam, and Ambassador Henry Cabot

Lodge.

The Guam conference was described by the President last week as part of a periodic system of top-level reviews of the

Vietnam war.

There have been occasions when Lodge and Westmoreland came to Washington for this sort of meeting, usually at about six-month intervals. But for more than a year, Johnson has been reluctant to take Westmoreland, his top field commander, away from Vietnam for the time a Washington trip would involve. In addition, every time Lodge returns to the capital rumors of his impending resignation pop up. The President plans to leave as late as midnight Saturday for his Guam trip after a White House dinner for state governors and their wives. The talks are not expected to last more

than two days.

Meredith Quits Congress Race NEW YORK UPI — James Meredith, suddenly and without explanation, today withdrew from the special congressional election against Adam Clayton

Powell.

Meredith, who braved savage racial violence to become the first Negro to enroll at the

SAN FRANCISCO UPI — Electricians end their 129-daj strike against 18 West Coasl shipyards today under a Taft Hartley law Injunction request ed by President Johnson. A spokesman for the Interna* tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), said union members would show up for th* morning shift in accordanc* with the court order, which requires them to return to work for an 80-day “cooling off

period.

The injunction was issued by U.S. District Judge Albert C Wollenberg Friday after h« determined the walkout by 1,400 electricians was affecting U.S. prosecution of the war in Vietnam. The strike had idled nearly 10,000 shipyard workers in California, Washington and

Oregon.

Wollenberg made the decision on evidence submitted by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Rear Adm. Edward J. Fahy, naval ship systems commander. McNamara, in an affidavit submitted to the court, said, “this work stoppage, if permitted to continue, will imperil the national safety.” Fahy said there was “a growing nuclear submarine threat that is of concern to people of the highest level in our nation.” The electricians went oh strike Nov. 4 when contract talks broke down between the union and the Pacific Coast Shipbuilders Association, which represents the 13 largest yards.

Va., the first stop. Mrs. Johnson’s plane was to leave Washington’s National Airport at 12:30 p.m. EST.
