Woman picks up search for father FAIRFAX (AP) An Okla-: homa woman is looking for help in -northern Virginia in solving a mystery: What happened to her; Army crypotographer father who; disappeared 40 years ago. "I really don't know what hap-" pened to my father," said Carol Solstad of Lawton, Okla.

"All I know is that he was there one day and gone the next, and I was a little girl and it hurt." Rae Curtis Hickingbotham a decorated World War II veteran of the Burma campaign, rejoined the Army Signal Corps in 1947 as a lieutenant. He was stationed at' Vint Hill Farms Station in War-renton. What his family did not know until years later was that Hickingbotham was assigned to work at Arlington Hall Station, which was then and remains the Army's intelligence command headquarters. "In October, 1947, my mother was visiting my grandparents in New York when the base contacted my mother saying my father was AWOL," said Mrs. Solstad, who was 2 at the time.

She was later contacted by an officer with the Army's Criminal Investigations Division, "That was it; end of investigation." "Sometime between October 13 and 20, 1947, my father disappeared from our lives and as far as I know, and believe me I've asked, from the lives of our entire family," Mrs. Solstad said. The family could figure out no reason for Hickingbotham's disappearance. Mrs. Soplstad said she has never found any reason to believe her parents had serious marital problems.

Her father was in a high-pressure Job but doing well and had bought his captain's bars in anticipation of a promotion. So Mrs. Solstad is trying to find any of her father's Army intelligence co-workers, who might have some idea of what he did at Arlington Hall Station and what happened to him. She asks in a personal advertisement that started running in Journal Newspapers in Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria that anyone who remembers Hicking-i botham contact her. "I don't expect anyone to tell me state secrets.

I really don't care about that," she said With a toddler to raise, and no husband to support them, Mrs. Solstad's mother obtained a divorce and later remarried, but she never fully recovered from his disappearance," she said.

Officials could not get the children home. Wind gusts reached 78 mph at Dodge City, Kansas, and many roads were closed in the area as visibilities dropped to near zero.

In Liberal, wind blew down power lines and cut electricity to a National Beef packing plant, closing the facility that employs about 2,500 workers. Classes at Fort Hays State University were called off at noon. "We're in a blizzard. You can't see a block," Willma Baker, a Scott City weather watcher, said Monday. Parts of Kansas were expected to receive 10 to 12 inches of snow before the storm ends early Tuesday.

By midafternoon the snow measured about 6 inches at Hill City and Hays in northwestern Kansas to 3 to 4 inches at Liberal and Dodge City in the southwest. The storm, which was centered over Oklahoma, also hammered at the Texas Panhandle, producing 5 inches of snow near Amarillo. Stalled trucks forced the closure of Interstate 40 west of Amarillo. The blizzard followed strong thunderstorms and tornadoes that struck northwestern Oklahoma late Sunday, slightly injuring six people, including two in a car blown off a road. The highway patrol said Clifford ANNIE R.

Dawes and three of his family members were also treated for minor injuries after a tornado destroyed his house near Elmwood, a barn and some farm machinery. "The next thing he knew, he looked up and saw the sky and the rain because his house was gone," said Dawes Sheriff Bill Cassing-ham. Two tornadoes touched down Sunday in Rooks County, where Sheriff Frank Skovold said no one was injured. The twisters demolished buildings on two farms.

Monday's bad weather extended to New Mexico's east-central and northeastern plains, where strong winds and blowing snow iced roads and made driving hazardous. Four to 6 inches of snow fell in central Nebraska while rivers and creeks rose in the eastern part of the state. The threat of floods closed schools near DeWitt and in Cedar Rapids. Up to 4 inches of rain had fallen in eastern Nebraska since Sunday, and more was expected. In Linton, N.D., rapid snowmelt, ice jams and recent rains caused flooding.
