In north central Washington, east of many Douglas county farmers were isolated for the fifth straight day because of snow drills up lo five and six feet deep on highways and roads. The snow barriers built up during two days of winds that brought blizzard-like conditions lo Ihe rolling wheat ranch countryside. County Engineer Pat Thomson called it an emergency condition, but there were no reports of any acute hardships for the marooned families. The wind had subsided Thursday and four rotary snow plows dug at the almost endless drifts. Sheriff Chester Bowers said most families keep ample provisions on hand for such emergencies, although members of one traveled 17 miles Wednesday with propeller-driven inow lied to get supplies.

Friday, Feb. 17, 1956 GREELEY TRIBUNE British Commons Vote To End Death Penalty No Decision In U.P. Oil Reserves Case Is Likely within 90 Days Charge Filed Against Morrison School Girl GOLDEN Charges of assault with intent to murder have been filed against a 37-year-old inmate accused of slashing thrco matrons of the Slate Industrial School for Girls at Morrison in an escape attempt. The girl was specifically charged with assault on Mrs. Edilh Shut- flebarger, the matron most seriously injured in the knife attack.

Mrs. Betty Porlner, school superintendent, said the three matrons were slashed when a 175- pound girl inmate attempted to get keys to the dormitory building. The girl showed no remorse for her actions, a school official said, and remarked of "I hope she dies." LONDON OB Britain's House of Commons voted Thursday night to abolish 'the death penalty. The 293-262 verdict went against an Eden government effort to have capital punishment retained. The chamber was tumultuous after the vote that climaxed a century-old parliamentary battle.

Cheers rang out as tellers announced lhat the House wanted Prime Minister Eden's government lo do sway with the hangman and his noose. Women in the public galleries waved their arms in excitement The measure is so worded that Ihe government can comply with its terms by abolishing the gallows tho only melhod of capital punishment in this' island kingdom for a trial period to allow reconsideration. The vote means the government is directed-by the House to introduce legislation sweeping capital punishment from the books, either forever or for some specified period. The exact terms of any such bill will have to be thrashed out by government experts and Parliament committees. The present parliamentary program is so heavy the Cabinet may not get arounc lo it for several months.

It is understood no capital pun ishmenls will be out be fore this legislation is introduced Presumably the few murderers now under sentence of death have their sentences comutcd to life imprisonment. The result surprised the govern' ment. It had expected lo win by a ilim margin. But 37 Cpnserva lives and four Liberals joined the almost solid Labor opposition to vote for abolition of hanging.
