“Bazooka” May Be
Used In Arctic War
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
whooshing bazooka and the kick
less rifle may be the chief wea
pons if any future war is fought
in the congealing cold of the Arc
tic.
Brig. Gen. H. B. Sayler, chief
of the research and development
division of army ordnance, said to
day the current tests of men and
weapons in Alaska are beginning
to indicate this.
The sub-zero cold is revealing
shortcomings of conventional arms
and demonstrating new values for
the recoilless guns and bazookas
which made their appearance in
the recent war.
Sayler told a reporter ordnance
observers at the tests have noted
that a gun which should recoil per
haps 14 inches jolted back only an
inch when zero weather has solidi
fied its pneumatic apparatus, thus
wrecking and jaming the weapon.
At the same time, cold-stiffened
grease and oil aggravated the wear
of all moving parts.

type weapons, although it would

Blizzard Rages
In Saskatchekan
REGINA, Sask. (rP)—A blizzard
howled eastward across Saskat
chewan amid a 60-mile-an-hour
gale today. It struck from the area
of the Canadian Yukon where the
thermometer read 81 degrees be
low zero fahrenheit Sunday, a rec
ord low for North America.
Local trains were idle and trans
continental trains were 10 to 12
hours late. Snow drifted high in
Regina and Saskatoon, two of the
largest towns in Saskatchewan.
Snow blocked rural roads. Ail
planes were grounded.
Railroad men said snow condi
tions were the worst in Canadian
history. Trade was suspended in
many areas. Food supplies ran low
and in other districts farmers were
fearful for survival of their live
stock. Schools closed in Regina,
Moose Jaw, Swift Current and As
siniboia.
Remote Snag airport in the Yu

: the lowest recorded weather read
i ing. Official thermometer mark
I ings, reporting 83 below. The Do
minion weather bureau ruled this
a calculation and set the official
mark at 81 below.
The record that had stood since
1910 of 78.5 degrees below zero at
Good Hope, Northwest Territory,
was exceeded last Thursday at
Snag airport with a reading 78.7
below zero.
