(AP) An arson investigator was called in Thursday to look into the possibility that a fire which de stroyed the riverboat Robert E.

Lee was deliberately set. The paddle wheeled tourist attraction, beached in shallow water for the winter burned be fore dawn at a loss estimated by the owners at more than $100,000. The boat, replica of one by the name that plied the Mississippi during the 1870s, cruised Lake Norman during the summer from its docking facilities just inside Iredell County. Iredell Deputy Sheriff R. L.

Warren said the incident may be connected with five other fires and other acts of vandalism on the sprawling Lake Norman shoreline in the last two months.

"But this court decision came at a period when our nation was beginning to foresee a shortage of some agricultural commodi ties. Instead of the farmer being asKed to cut back production, he will be asked to increase keep up with an exploding population." warned tne pork pro ducers that rural people are a minority group and will have minority representation in legis.

lative bodies. The rural interest will no longer automatically be protected."

Blowing and drifting snow prompted Weather Bureau warnings of driving hazards from eastern Montana south- weard to northwestern Utah and eastward through the Dakotas and northwestern Iowa.

Not all of its fury had spilled out of the Rockies. Locally heavy snow continued in north western Wyoming, where 20 inches fell Wednesday night at Teton Pass on the Idaho-Wyom ing border, and in the adjacent sections of Utah and Idaho. The Weather Bureau at Salt Lake City called it the worst storm of the winter. New snow accumulations Thursday ranged from around one foot elsewhere in western Wyoming to 3 inches or less from eastern Montana to north ern Utah and northwestern Ne vada. A snowslide closed Teton Pass on Wednesday night and tne Weather Bureau said the mounting snow is expected to make other passes difficult to traverse.

Strong winds in eastern Wyoming brought a recom mendation against truck-trailer movement in the Rawlins and Douglas areas.
