By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A near, blizzard and subzero cold hit widespread areas of the Midcontinent today and the arctic invasion threatened to develop into a new crop killing cold wave.

The mercury plunged to -44 degrees in parts of Montana and to -42 in Minnesota. Below-zero cold covered the northern Rockies and northern Plains and extended souhhward across most of Kansas and Iowa.

The U.S. Weather Bureau in Chicago said freezing weather was expected to invade the fruit and vegetable areas of the Rio Grande Valley and the normally warm valley of southern Arizona and .California during the next few days.

A cold wave that hit these crop producing areas a week ago caused damage running into the millions of dollars and resulted In higher prices for winter vegetables and citrus fruits.

In Lubbock. Tex., the temperature shriveled from a mild 54 late Friday to 2 above early today.

Snow fell over much of the mid-cmitinent from New Mexico to the western Great Lakes and near blizzard conditiwis were forecast for an area from northern Texas and eastern New Mfexico to Iowa and Missouri.

Dense fog blanketed areas in the relatively mild East, disrupting travel. The fog temporarily closed Washingtons National Airport and Friendship International Airport at Baltimore.

Three prisoners suffocated Friday night from fumes from a faulty liquid gas heater in the Costilla County jail at San Luis, Colo. The heater had been burning throughout the day because of near-zero temperatures.

Massive School

Program Readied

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Kennedy admlnlstratiwi will propose a massive five year aid-to-educatlon program of more than $6 billion, informed sources report.

Programs involving construction do not require big outlays at the beginning. Costs rise as the blueprints are drawn and con-structiwi starts.

Rest Home, Too?

Construction of nursing and rest homes may be just around the comer fdr Pitt Countys chronically ill and aged citizenry.

At least thats the Impression left by Friday night comniento from County Commissioners Chairman Robert L. Martin of Bethel.

Martin told a meeting of the Overall Planning Committee that a red-hot prospect wants to put a nursing home and a rest home" on a 10-acre tract near Pitt Memorial Hospital.

In their Jan. 7 meeting, the commissioners agreed to purchase the site aivd to act an intermediate agents for a Baltimore firm, reported then to be interested in building a nursing home on half of the 10-acre tract.

Martins comments Friday

hinted at the first concrete disclosure that the firm would also Invest In a rest home operation. Officials had hoped, however, that both facilities could be built by a private business.

Construction of the facilities by private capital and subsequent private operation would mean a happy ending to a continuing issue considered for nearly three years by county officials. The possibility of Issuing county bonds to building such facilities has arisen on several occasions during those three years.

Details of the transaction with the Baltimore firm have been handled thus far by the Pitt County Development Com-mis^on through its executive director. Dr. C. Sylvester Green.

It is to be spelled out in a spe-! j^an said the $144 million in I cial messsige to Congress late this spending recommended for next

After two days of often heated discussion ,t he French agreed to continue negoUationa <m the British application Jan. 28.

The interval provides an opportunity for possible American pressure on the French to persuade them to change their position.

Any U.S. intervention would have to be discreet. De Gaulle already has shown that he believes Britains mtry into the common market would tend to transform the European group into an Atlantic community under American leadership.

A speech by U.S. Ambassador Charles B. Bohlen in Paris Friday night was seen as part of the spadework. He addressed the France-Etats Unis association, an CHganization devoted to promoting good relations between the two counties.

Bohlen said he wanted to correct what he called an Illusion that United States has lost Interest ar might lose interest in defending Western Europe. He also said he wanted to knock down another iilusloithat the

United States wants to dominate Its allies.

This was an Indirect reference to statements made by be Gaulle last Monday at a news conference at which he all but slammed the common market door on Britain and rejected President Kennedys offer of Polaris missiles.

Bohlen said the United States Is determined to negotiate the lot-mation of a multinational nuclear arm within the NATO alliance.

He aald that obviously some NATO members have atomic ca-

abiliUes while i(xne do not and It others might favor a multinational force while othere might not.

Whether to up the ceiling on taxes levied for hospital support to twice the present level moved a step closer Friday night to a question for Piit County voters.

Answering a request from Pitt Memorial trustees, the Overall Planning Committee sent ' the County Commissioners a recommendation th:^t the official board seek legislative authority to call a referendum on the question of jacking the present five-cent limit to an authorized 10 cents per $100 valuation.

With 19 of 28 OPC members present, a unanimous voice vote sent the issue back to the commissioners on a motion by T. W. Willis, director of the Farmvllle Economic Council.

Tax Supervisor R. S. Moye presented the recommendations of the study committee to Fridays OPC meeting.

Citing^ the statutory deadline for completion of the project, Moye told committeemen county machinery for initiating the project is not starting any too soon.

A legislative act of 1959 requires each of the 100 counties to conduct a revaluation by a specific date. Pitts deadline for having new values and schedules ready for use by tax listers Is Jan. 1, 1965.

Pitt oficiis say requested exemptions and postponements requested by various counties have been denied by the legislature.

The 1959 measure rules out the former policy of revaluations in each county every four years. It established a schedule of revaluation at eight-year intervals with adjustments, if necessary, in the fourth year of each revaluation period.

The plane exploded and the wreckage scattered over a 15-acre area, the pilot. Maj R.ob-ert Gasper, 40, of Pekin, 111., was missing and state police said there was evidence he may have been destroyed in the crash.

OTHER COUNTIES Moye said Wayne and Edgecombe have authorized tax levies of .five cents, identical to the present Pitt limit. Wilsons limit is eight cents. Lenoirs 10. Beaufort 10 and Craven 15, Moye reported.

County Auditor Gray and Martin cited these actual-levy figures;

Beaufort levies nothing; Edgecombe 1.6 cents, Lenoir nina cents (with $50.000 a year tabbed for capital outlay), and Wayna 4.4 cents. Pitt, for the last two years, has levied its authorized maximum, five cents_^^

TREA'TMENT CONTROLS Moye said the hospital is legally bound to admit and treat emergency patients regardless of their ability to pay or their eligibility for welfare hospitalization grants.

A major problem. Moye and Ward said, is confinement of patients beyond the number days for which welfare regulations will certify them for hospitalization. They are kept according to direction of doctors, they said.

Unemployment, too. figures prominently into the hospltajs deficit.s, the officials said For example. Ward told the committee, a person who is physically fit to work, regardless of employment status, rules a patients hospital bill ineligible for regular welfare participation. Cases of that type, he said, become the complete responsibility of the county.
