Dark Horse In Presidential Race

CHICAGO (AP)-Senator Stuart Symlngton of Missouri appeared today to be gathering strength as a dark horse contender for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion after Adlai E. Stevenson's up- set defeat in Tuesday's Minnesota primary.

Stevenson and his supporters in- dicated in interviews they regard Symington as perhaps more of a threat to their own aspirations than Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, who whipped Stevenson in the Minnesota vote.

The Stevenson camp does not dismiss Governor Avcrell Harri- man of New York as a '” nominee if Stevenson suffers fur- ther primary defeats that might knock him out of the race.

It is the apparent feeling of Stevenson's supporters, however. that a dark horse nominee is more likely to emerge in that event. and Symington seems to come

Besides making this the worst month for snow this winter it also surpassed a twenty year rceord. Previously and calculated over a period of 47 years the average snowfall for the month of March was 18 inches.

Tests For Space Missile

WASHINGTON (AP)-The U. S. Air Force disclosed Sunday it has achieved in a laboratory speeds of more than 18,000 miles an hour and temperatures 11.5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.

The fantastic speeds and tem pcratures were created in "shock tubes” - second cousins to the wind funnel-at the Avco research laboratory, Everett, Mass.

The laboratory announced that velocities up to 25 times the speed of sound had been recorded in several shock tubes.

The temflc speeds were accom panied by temperatures up to 15, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. This in- tense heat would melt the tubes, w-re it not that they are in o eralion for only millionths of a second at a time. .

Since the speeds exceeded the velocity planned for the space sat ellites which U. S. scientists hope to launch in 1957. the research makes possible study of the "in teraction of satellites with the earth's atmosphere." the an nouncement said.

MUCH LIKE CANNON

Disclosing for the first time the existence of shock tubes, the la boratory identified them as a type of cannon 100 feet long and only four inches in diamete -"the big gest hypersonic research device of its kind."

"When it is fired. for the pur pose of studying gases at extreme temperatures. a shock wave is created that races down the length of the tube, moving so fast that its travel time is measured in

Halifax Near New

Snowfall

HALIFAX (CF) - The third snowstorm in eight days had Maritimers flounde Rug In drifts again Sunday. Up to a foot. of new snow fell along the Nova Scotia coast where some back roads were still clogged from the earlier storms.

Highway plow operators worked day and night to keep traffic mov- lng. Muscle-weary motorists spent another day shovelling out drive- ways and parking spots.

The storm brought Halifax within 3.4 inches of the all-time snowfall record set in 1917-18, the winter of the Halifax explosion. This season": total is now 126.8

Another fishing boat tracked the missing craft by radar and towed her into port Sunday afternoon. The two men were reported cold and hungry but otherwise well.

Nova Scotia got practically all the snow this time. The fall was light to the north, Moncton re- ceiving only a trace and Frederic- ton none at all.

First Pronounced Drop In Unemployment Despite Snow

The Charlottetown Office of the Unemployment Commission at last week end, reported the first pro- nounced drop In the number of benefit claims since the onset of seasonal unemployment last aut- umn. In Charlottetown and vicini- ty the total was practically un- changed at 884 but in the remaind- er of Queen's county and King's county, the total was r J ” from 1,734 to 1,653 a drop of 81 people in receipt of benefit pay- ments. The figure for Prince Coun- ty are complied separately by the Summerside Office.

Some of the people struck off benefits are returning to work, the remainder are claimants whose benefit rights have expired.

The severe weather is holding up the early return to work of many people but some workers employ- ed on government dredges and tug boats. are being notified to re- port for duty. Because of govern- ment wcight restrictions there will be temporary layoffs for some drl vcrs of bus and freight transport tation companies.

The reduction in the number of benfit claimants will be progres- sive frnm now on, say local office officials and in the next month the total number of claimants will dwindle to less than one thousand. The total at present is 2.537. This refers to Kings and Queens coun ties only. i
