In general, the "arald Macmillan
West Germans have taken a chil
ly attitude toward the British
idea of elasticity, on the grounds
it could mean giving up long-held
defensive lines without any con
cessions from the Soviets.
Macmillan saw French Presi
dent Charles de Gaulle earlier
this week. Next week he goes
to Washington where he will
see President Eisenhower.
Macmillan showed awareness
of the attitude of the -French and
Germans when he said at the air
port that the West was "still a
long way from our goal" of find
ing a way to counter the Soviet
threat to West Berlin.
Official spokesmen gave no de
tails of what had been said.

Paralyzes
Northeast
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The worst snowstorm of a mean
dying winter struck a savage,
slushy blow at the Northeast

the Midwest and across the South
to Virginia.
The storm claimed seven lives
in Ohio, New Jersey, Connecticut
and New York Most of the deaths
resulted f r o m heart attacks
brought on by shoveling snow.
Up to 14 inches of snow. fol
lowed
by sleet and rain, lashed
an area from Indiana to Vir
ginia and Maine.
Falling temperatures were ex-i
petted to freeze the slush over- 1
night, thus heightening hazardous
driving conditions that tied up
many of the East's highways. But
today is expected to be partly
sunny and milder.
As one storm center moved in
from the West, a second came
off the Virginia coast. Winds
up to 60 m.p.h. 'whistled in with
the snow. Tides- ranged two to
three feet above normal.
Western Maryland and upstate'
New York measured 14 inches of
snow. West Virginia and western
Massachusetts had a foot. New
Jersey got up to 10 inches. Ohio
had 7 inches, Indiana 6.
Air travelers were grounded in
Cleveland, Boston, Buffalo, Roch
ester and New York.
Hundreds of schools were
closed in New Jersey. Connecti
cut, Massachusetts and Upstate
New York. All public schools
in Boston closed.
Highway traffic conditions were
chaotic. In Rhode Island, they
were described as the worst in
years and nearly all public events
there were canceled, including
horse racing at Lincoln Downs.
Iraq Strife Due To
Kassem Says Nasser
DAMASCUS, Syria (EP)—President Gamal Abdel Nasser
of the United Arab Republic wooed Iraq's people yesterday
and denounced their premier as a man trying to spread a
Communist reign of terror across the Arab world.
Nasser renewed his attack on Premier Abdel Karim
Kassem in a biting discussion of
the Mosul rebellion before flag
waving student demonstrators at
the presidential palace in Damas

He denied Baghdad charges
that his United Arab Republic.
which links Egypt and Syria.
inspired Col. Abdel Wahab
Shawaf's nationalist revolt last
weekend against the leftist-in
clined Kassem regime.
Instead, he said, the revolt
sprang from opposition of Iraq's
people to a "reign of Commun
ist terror and persecution of free
officers and Arab nationalists in
Iraq."
"Kassem was trying to drive
a wedge between the Ircqi peo
ple and the U.A.R.," he said,
"assuming that by this policy
he would divide the Arabs to
strengthen communism in the
Arab world and bring, it under
Communist terror, as in Iraq."
He accused Kassem of open
ing Baghdad to Syrian Commun
ists fleeing the recent anti-Red
campaign within the U.A.R.

Will Discuss Crisis
At Mountain Resort
WASHINGTON UP) -- Strategy
talks on the Berlin crisis between
President Eisenhower and British
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
will be held at Eisenhower's re
treat in the Mar;yland mountains.
It appears doubtful that Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
will play any direct major role.
Present prospects are that Dul
les will confer at least once with
Macmillan and Foreign Minister
Selwyn Lloyd when they come
here.
Acting Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter, will likely be the
President's chief adviser at - Camp
David.
Macmillan is due in Washington
next Thursday.
