floods this season.
Upstate New York was hit
with scattered snow, -which ran1
from light in some areas up to
six inches around Olean.
The squalls, traveling on the
edge of a fast moving cold front
came from the west with fri'gh

But the cold air remained over
the area and the ’forecast for

tornadoes, with swirlisig winds
that toppled trees, ibroke power

Burgess and MascLean, high
ranking British foreign office
officials, disappeared in May,
1951, and are presumed behind
the Iron Curtain. A recent gov

them of spying for the Kremlin

Shortly after Parliament re
convened from its two month
summer recess, Lipton tangled
with prime minister Eden on
the Red spy case.
Eden rejected a demand by
the Laborite for the appoint
ment of a special parliamentary
committee to investigate the
oase. The prime minister added
“The government themselves
take the view that it is desir
able to have a debate on this
subject, in which I personally,*
as prime minister, shall be glad
to take part.”
