Windstorms and Snow Squalls Hit the West
United Press reports quick windstorms and heavy snow squalls piling up drifts as bulldozers clear roads. A new major storm area formed in the Aleutians and moved toward the mainland while eastern Washington saw rains melt drifts creating floods. Dayton and Walla Walla residents built sandbag barricades as highways turned muddy and perishables grew scarce. In contrast, eastern cities hit springlike highs with New York 59 and Washington 68, setting February records. Challenger Airlines planned to shuttle 650 stranded westbound railroad passengers if weather allows.

Delay Action On Conservation Dept Bill Delayed in Senate committee
COLUMBUS The State Senate Conservation committee postponed all action on a bill to unite the state conservation agencies into one department until Wednesday. Public hearing closed after a hearing with about a dozen amendments offered. A.E. Rupp warned the bill would grant the new wildlife division the same powers as today, prompting questions of department balance. Condon opposed a $10,000 director appointed by the governor, advocating a commissions-led policy. Clay Stackhouse urged more research. William Laybourne supported unification but preferred a commission over gubernatorial control.
