The National Guard then fired the traditional 19-gun governor's salute and the inaugural ended By United Press International Winter's first big snowstorm hit the Eastern Seaboard states with a New Year's punch Friday that crippled plane and highway travel, canceled sporting events and called off Philadelphia's annual Mummer's Parade. By evening, the storm had moved well out to sea off the New England coast and only parts of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were still feeling its effects. Holiday travelers, including President Nixon, were delayed by wind-whipped snow that fell to a depth of 10 inches in Virginia and Kentucky, 15 in Washington, DC, up to 8 in New York City and 6 in New England. THE STORM prevented Nixon and the First Lady from taking a helicopter to the Presidential retreat.

crews worked round-the-clock on holiday overtime to clear streels of a heavy fall from winter's first big storm. No negotiations were reported between the city and the Uniformed Firefighters Assn (UFA). Union officials planned to be in court Monday to show cause why firemen should not be permanently enjoined from continuing the slowdown which is illegal under a state law covering public employes. 7 I jp Successor to McManus NEW YORK (UPI) The city's 11,000 firemen, working without a contract as the result of a wage dispute, launched a job slowdown Friday that could escalate into an illegal strike. The firefighters flouted a State Supreme Court injunction issued Thursday to begin a "job action" which eliminated virtually all duties except answering alarms and emergency calls.

Some 1000 men on the morning shift were asked to work overtime to clear snow from station houses, hydrants and fire boxes, but all refused. The contracts of firemen, police and sanitation men expired at midnight but police and street cleaners remained on the job. Snow removal Stowers Is Expected To Get Judicial Post King, Lt. Gov.

Actually, much of the apparent highways New Year's Eve and Routing of Railpax through Albuquerque would meet all the criteria under guidelines set out by Congress, but the Chicago-Los Angeles route proposed by the National Assn. of Railroad Passengers could not meet these criteria, says the chief of the New Mexico Transportation Bureau. Ralph B. Harlan, executive director of the Transportation Bureau, proposes a Railpax route that would utilize the present Santa Fe Railway lines linking Garden City, Trinidad, Raton Pass, Albuquerque, Gallup and Los Angeles.

HARLAN'S VIEWS are expressed in a statement prepared Friday for presentation next week to the Albuquerque City Commission. The route he proposes "has assured profitability, proved by the present operation of the Santa Fe's Super Chief and El Capitan for many years the most beautiful and best patronized train in the country," Harlan wrote, adding: "The demand for service already exists; there is no need to create a demand, assuming, of course, that Railpax at least plans to equal present service. The route we propose is the most adaptable to be found single carrier now, simple to bring under Railpax and equal to, if not exceeding, any route in the country in scenic value.

Harlan said it is not the intent of his statement to challenge tne proposal of the National Assn. of Railroad Passengers, for he is sure the challenge will be accomplished adequately by the staff of the U.S.

But he said it is highly unlikely that the Chicago-Los Angeles route proposed by the association would produce the profitability anticipated, the demand for the service contemplated, the adaptability of the route to a total national railway network, the cost Continued on A-13 judge.
