The circulation of the upper air hat determined the targets in a series of global blows struck by a winter which, although only one-third completed, has been the most vicious in years. A steady procession of cold waves has rolled down into the central U.

spreading freezing weather into the crop growing areas of the Deep South and Southern California. Western Europe and the British Isles have had 33 consecutive days of freezing weather. The severe cold has filled hospitals with stricken patients and produced serious fuel and food shortages in many places. But the story has been "different in Alaska. Temperatures in that normal "ice-box" region have been running well above zero and often above the freezing mark.

Why the topsy-turvy pattern? Weather forecasters explain that there always Is an inexhaustible supply pf cold air, over the Arctic region in the winter. It either stays -there or is moved somewhere else by air currents. If it moves away, more builds up rapidly in the region where there is much snow and little or no sunlight A ridge of high pressure air stalled in the vicinity of and off the West Coast has caused the severe weather affecting most areas of the U. S. simultaneously.

Air has circulated from north to south east of this ridge spreading polar air across much of the U. S. and Canada. A south to north air flow west of the ridge has been carrying warm air up the Pacific Ocean and into Alaska, displacing the cold air there. Under the usual winter weather pattern, high pressure ridges ad- vance eastward and the nation's east and west- regions have contrasting weather mild in one region while severe in the other.

But the West Coast's high pressure ridge shows no sign of moving on and the long range weather forecast through Feb. 15 calls for below normal temperatures in most of the northern two-thirds of the U.

sonable to jexpect families By DON RIDER Staff Writer The Governor's Committee on Interstate Land Sales approached its first work session today with the attitude that most promoters of Florida real estate are honest, substantial citizens and that only fringe area operators need stricter policing. Chmn. Robert T. Brink-ley, Tallahassee, opened with the remark, "Florida should seek and encourage risk capital. At this stage, it is important to have a completely open mind, to seek what Is good for all.

"This is certinly not a witch hunt, and we do not want the public to get the idea that it is," Brinkley said. Nine of the 11 committee members and 13 others directly interested attended the open session held this morning at the State Office Bldg. in Winter Park. Chmn. Brinkley called an executive session of the members for the afternoon.

"There should be some uniformity throughout the state." He said Orange is one of the six but added, "There still are some loopholes in the Orange County act." Shuman said that the Florida Real Estate Commission has limited policing powers and the most effective of these is a requirement that out-of-state advertising of Florida land be cleared through it. However, there are very nominal sanctions against violators, Shuman saying when FREC has attempted litigation against most flagrant violators, the results have been mediocre, "only a slap on the wrist." Since a violation is a misdemeanor, prosecution is handled by county rather than state attorney, he said adding, "We have never succeeded in getting a prosecutor to prosecute a case."

It fell 21 degrees in an hour at Jackson, Miss. Parts of Northern Indiana received up to a foot of fresh snow; ice gorges blocking all river traffic; Cleveland, Ohio, put its new emergency snow ordinance into effect for the first time after a fresh layer of five inches fell.
