Hiss, center of spy scandal, dies at age 92 The Associated Press NEW YORK Alger Hiss, the patrician public servant who fell from grace in a Communist spy scandal that propelled Richard Nixon to higher office, died Friday afternoon.

He was 92. I Hiss died after a long illness, just lf you had the wind blowing and ice on these conductors, we could have had major problems. Northern States Power spokesman Jim Wilcox Make certain tires are in good condition. Snow tires are recommended, but chains provide the best starting and stopping performance in severe snow and on icy surfaces. Radial tires are not snow tires unless they are marked (Mud and Snow).

Ice also is a concern for crops standing yet in fields. Tod Ihnen, who farms 4y2 miles southwest of Chancellor, still has 200 acres of corn to harvest. With long lines at the elevator and his own bins already filled, he hasn't been able to get all his corn in yet. Now, many of his stalks are covered with ice.

But that shouldn't be a problem as long as the wind doesn't howl, he said. "Thus far, the ice really hasn't done any damage," Ihnen said. "If we get strong winds blowing it around, that could break some off or knock it on the ground. But as long as we stay away from the wind, we'll be all right." Statewide, 78 percent of the corn crop had been harvested as of last Sunday. The sorghum harvest was at 91 percent and sunflowers were at 95 percent.

So for farmers like Ihnen, who still have fields to harvest, this weather means they might have to be a little more careful, said Craig Rosenberg, Minnehaha County agricultural agent. "It's a problem when you start bringing all this material into the combines," Rosenberg said. "If it's warm enough in the combine for ice and snow that is on the stalks to melt, then you get stuff sticking and the combine won't work properly. That can be trouble. "And things like climbing up and down on steel grain bins become a lot more treacherous with ice coatings on the ladders.

People have to watch out." 1 American prin-Alger Hiss ciples- He said "Other people, whose vision was clouded by Cold War passions, couldn't see the truth of the man."

NSP spokesman Jim Wilcox said icing caused a wire to break one mile south and one mile east of Baltic about 4 a.m.

It took company officials about 2y2 hours to repair it. Fortunately, that was the only significant outage, Wilcox said. "The thing that really saved us is the wind. We haven't had any at all," he said. "If you had the wind blowing and ice on these conductors, we could have had major problems.

But we've missed the bullet on that so far." Electric cooperatives in western South Dakota haven't been as lucky. Grand Electric Cooperative in Bison reported 175 electric poles down, with about 450 customers in Buffalo, Reva, Faith and Mud Butte without power. West River Electric Cooperative reported 30 to 35 power poles down from Wall to Enning. "They get 1 to 2 inches of ice on them, with three lines running full of ice, that is almost 1 ton of weight spanned 300-feet long," said Brian Boyer, communications manager with West River Electric.

Scott Petterson, 25, of Sioux Falls and Craig Gilbertson, 32, of Larchwood, Iowa, were traveling on County Road 130 two miles west of Renner about 10:30 a.m. Friday when they lost control on icy pavement and struck a bridge abutment. Petterson was treated and released from McKennan Hospital. Gilbertson was listed in fair condition at McKennan late Friday afternoon.

And a Sioux Falls woman, 22-year-old Lamunu Yuvan, also was listed in fair condition Friday at McKennan after she lost control of her Chevy Beretta shortly after 8:30 p.m. Thursday. Yuvan was westbound on River Boulevard near Cliff Avenue when she skidded through the parkway and struck a tree, Sioux Falls police said. Her 3-year-old son was treated at McKennan for minor facial injuries. Cars and trucks weren't the only vehicles having trouble maneuvering on the slushy, icy roads and streets.

An Airborne Express DC-9 freight airplane rolled through the runway at the Sioux Falls Regional Airport early Friday after hitting ice, said Gary Messerli, deputy director of the airport. Neither the two pilots on the plane nor the craft itself were hurt or damaged. The incident happened shortly after 6 a.m. "I believe a freight twin-engine Cessna had landed just prior to this airplane, and that pilot reported that the braking action was good," Messerli said. "We had been sanding and de-icing both our runways, but there must still have been some slick spots." He said three Northwest Airline flights were canceled because of conditions in the Twin Cities.

Two United Express flights going to Chicago also were canceled, Messerli said.

For the rest of his life, he worked for vindication, in courts of law and in the court of public opinion. He proclaimed that it had come finally in 1992, at age 87, when a Russian general in charge of Soviet intelligence archives said Hiss was never a spy, but rather a victim of Cold War hysteria. iBUirrf Willi W' III ittumu mm.
