4 THE NOME NUGGET
Weather Goes On
June 1 Binge
(By the Associated Press)
Nature’s elements appeared on
a climatic binge Friday as June
started with a crazy-quilt weather
pattern.
The South prayed for rain as a
prolonged dry spell heightened
the danger of millions of dollars
damage to crops. i
Torrential rains fell in Neb-;
raska and rivers overflowed low- j
lying areas in the southeastern
part of the state.
Snow covered parts of the Da
kotas, Wyoming and Montana. It
was below freezing in some parts
of the snow belt.
It was top-coat weather over
many of the plains States, North
ern Rockies and Northern Mid
west States.
The South and most of the Mid
west and East sweltered in mid
summer temperatures. Electrical,
wind and rain storms broke the
oppressive heat in some Midwest
and Eastern cities Friday night.
At least four persons were
killed in the storms.

Report Accuses RFC And
B & O Railroad Of
Collusive Dealings
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A four
year-old proposed Senate com
mittee report accusing the RFC
and the B & O Railroad with
“collusive and irregular dealings”
was made public Friday.
The dealings involved an $80
million dollar loan made by the
government Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
The document said RFC’s ar
rangements with the B & O con
cerning the loan violated the RFC
Act.
The arrangements also exposed
the railroad t‘o far greater risks
than was necessary or warranted
by the B & O financial condition,”
the proposed report said.
.It wound up with a recom
mendation that the record of a
Senate banking subcommittee’s
investigation of the RFC and the
B & O loan be turned over to the
Justice Department for possible
prosecutions.
Compromise Settlement May
Avert Strike At Westinghouse
PITTSBURGH, (/P) —- James B.
Carey, president of the CIO In

50,000 IUE members employed by
Westinghouse Electric Corp.
Carey made the statement after
meeting briefly with the confer
ence board of the union. The
board voted to strike June 11 if
: no agreement is reached by that
■ time.
