Snow Blamed in Highway Fatality,
Holiday Total Boosted to 93 Dead
By The Associated Press
Blinding snow and ice-glazed highways provided a new menace
for Texas holiday celebrants, boosting the ten-day toll to a known
93 dead.
The first traffic accident today directly attributed to icy high-
ways occurred near Marlin. Bradley C. Linthicum, 35, son of the
Marlin First National bank president, was killed almost instantly
when his car spun dizzily on a bridge approach, hurling him an a
woman passenger to the ground.
Miss Fay Kogers of Marshall, a resort viritor, was hospitalized
after the accident.
One person was killed and several injured when a truck crashed
five miles west of San Saba last night. Fatally injured was Andrew
Hunt, 18, of San Saba.
The two deaths boosted Texas’ traffic toll from Dec. 20 to 62
An automobile-bus collision in Dallas last night was fatal to
three. They were Tom Kinney, 45. Julius Jones. 45, and Myrtle Lee
Jones, 23, all of Dallas. All were passengers in the automobile
Ten persons have burned to death, nine died oL gunshot wounds,

Immediate Relief for North Texas

The old year bowed out today with the coldest weather

warned motorists not to drive unless absolutely necessary.

The time has come, Mr. Tru-
man said at one point during an
exchane with reporters, when
the executive branch should give
up some of the power exercised
during the war.
"This is entirely in keeping
with the policies which I have
consistently followed,” he said
(reading again from his state-
ment) "in an effort to bring our
economy and our government
back to a peacetime basis as
quickly as possible.”
Only yesterday Senator Wiley
(R-Wis) reported to the senate
Republican conference that the
effect wtld be “chaotic" if all
the government’s wartime con-
.rol* were repealed at a single
troke. He proposed a review of
the judiciary committee which he
will head in the 80th congress"
in the light of the overall national
welfare.”
Power to declare an end to most
wartime emergency laws was
vested in both the president and
on press, either could act sepa-
rately.
* The president concluded the
conference by telling reporters he
would see them again at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The confer-
ence was limited to discussion of
his proclamation.
He wished all the reporters a
happy new year.
