West Shrugging Off Grip of Snow
Snow and ice gripped the West with blizzards and 18 foot drifts on Cumbres Pass trapping railroad crews and delaying highways. About 21 men were marooned on the western side of the pass for five days. another 38 aboard a work train moved toward Osier to reach Sollette and continue snowbound repairs. An airlift by Norman Kramer and others supplied shelters with provisions and snow gear. Weathermen forecast flurries in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Utah and Texas also faced severe ice.

He warned that losses in steel production would disrupt mobilization schedules and called for the parties to preserve the status quo under their contracts.

Reds Reject U.N. POW Proposal
The Reds spurn a U.N. plan offering repatriation swaps for 116,000 Communist POWs. If returned voluntarily, some prisoners or internees might stay behind. The proposal would end the man-for-man exchange after all POWs are released, with ICRC interviews to verify voluntary returns. North Korea’s Maj. Gen. Tee Sang Cho denounced the plan as an attempt to detain most prisoners.
