More (old, - More Snow So@g Areas !Relief Operations Are De- | layed-Nebraska Suffers °| Staggering Blows (By The Associated Press) More Federal funds were on the way to the storm-stricken Western states today but new snow and cold weather delayed relief operations in some areas. Nebraska, one of the states which | suffered staggering blows from the |early January blizzards, was in the path of the new cold wave that ex- |tended over the central section of | the country. The below zero tem- peratures followed heavy falls of { snow which have seriously disrupt- ed relief operations. Gov. Val Peterson has told Pres- ident Truman in a telegram human | sutfering is “increasing, death con- | tinuing, losses to cattle are mount- ing and potential losses are stag- | gering.” Mr. Truman alloted another $500,- {000 for relief to the snow-stricken }Westem states yesterday. That | brought to $800,000 in Federgl aid for relief operations. The new blast of cold air and strong winds was most severe in the North Central States. But tempera- tures were below freezing in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Southern Ar- kansas,* Central Texas, Northern New Mexico, Northern Arizona and Southern Nevada. ———l . ® 000000000 WEATHER REPORT (U. 8.

He added: “The vote was based on the con- viction that affiliation gives addi- tional strength to the fishermen and shore workers as well as the ILWU in winning improved conditions for the membership.” Jurich was re-elected President of the union at the concluding ses- sion last night.
