(UP)-- Fury of a blizzard that battered the Great Plains for two days di minished and rescue parties today started hunting for cars buried under mountains of snow, fearful of what they might find. A steady snowfall continued early today in parts of Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Missouri. Much of the snow was expected to move eastward. In the Texas Panhandle where numbers of motorists and buses were still stranded, rescue parties hoped to batter their way with heavy equipment through drifts that rose as high as 14 feet and stretched 40 feet wide. Four Known Dead "We may have a story that's not prettyt tell when we are able to get to some of those cars and get to looking into them," said Sgt.

R. G. Gravestock of the Amarillo sheriff's office. Four persons were known dead in the storm; two in Texas and two in Nebraska. Others, stranded for 24 hours and more in their automobiles and buses as the snow slowly covered them, were feared in serious condition.

At least 4,000 travellers were estimated to have been maroonec or delayed. Six trains and an un told number of buses were strand ed.

In this onnection Nehru particularly condemned the Baghdad Pact. There was no official comment Western capitals on the Israeli 'Osition that Hammarskjold had ailed to resolve the differences Between Israel and Egypt. President Eisenhower and Brit- sh Prime Minister Harold Macmillan merely agreed publicly at heir Bermuda conference not to do or say anything that would im- eril the Hammarskjold mission. They forged a joint Mideast pol- cy, but it remained top secret. No 'Test' Ship Hammarskjold himself interrupted his talks with Nasser and Minister Mahmoud Fawzi today and flew to the Suez Zone to watch the UN salvage team begin raising the ast obstacle in the main channel --the sunken freighter Edgar Bonnet near Ismailia, midway through canal.

Only one major obstacle remains after that, the frigate Abu- dr near Suez, and ships of 10,00.0 are expected to begin transiting the canal as soon as Egypt gives permission. The Egyptian Suez Canal Au- announced today the waterway was open to ships up to 4,000 tons. Israeli newspapers demanded that an Israeli ship try to use the canal the moment it is declared open, but Israeli sources said the U.S. State Department opposed such a move. Israel was reported using the Gulf of Aqaba in the meantime despite Egyptian and Saudi Arabian declarations the gulf was closed to Israeli shipping.

"It would have the duty of determining whether or not changes our Constitution are advisable and, if so, how best we might effect them," he said. "If the commission concludes that we should proceed by amendment, it is em- sowered to recommend such a course, and to include, in its report, drafts of proposed amendment or amendments. "On the other hand, the commission may conclude that our onstitution needs general revi-j sion. In that case, it would collect, compile and analyze such information as it may deem useful to the delegates to a constitutional convention, and shall make any recommendation as to the substance of the revision it may consider appropriate." The governor said the Commonwealth, because of economic development and social change since 1874 has been "forced to evade, various makeshifts," a number of constitutional restrictions. He cited as an outstanding example the state's $1,000,000 debt limit for capital purposes fixed by the Constitution which, he pointed out, has been by-passed by the authority type of financing.

"It (the Constitution) is freighted with provisions which treat the legislative branch of the state government with distrust; with provisions dealing specifically and inflexibly with various matters of public policy; with provisions hampering imaginative and broad- scaled attacks upon the pressing problems of urban and metropolitan living," he said.

(UP)-- The body of an elderly woman recluse was found Sunday almost devoured by the pack of 10 dogs she kept in her hillside shack on the city's outskirts. Police said Mrs. Edna Palmer, 66, apparently became ill a few days ago and took to her bed vhere she died.

Police said the dogs were shut in the house, unable to get out when the woman died. They said the enimals evidently became ravenous and attacked the body. Columnist Says Press Pampers Administration CHAPEL, HILL, N.C. (UP)--A 1 Washington columnist has criticized the press for "pampering" President Eisenhower and for a "tendency" to "look through Eisenhower's rose-colored glasses." Doris Fleeson, Washington columnist for United Features Syndicate, told the North Carolina Press Women Saturday that "the press was often unfair to Presidents Truman and Roosevelt" but that "it is better to be unfair to a president than to pamper him as they have done Eisenhower." "The tendency of the press to look through Eisenhower's rose- colored glasses and to overlook the failure to give creative leadership," she said, "has given people a totally wrong idea of the situation." Miss Fleeson said the Eisenhower administration was "dedicatedj to the status quo," adding this! was quite wrong and quite gerous." in in the Society Bulletin, said the Fund set up what amounted to a "picket line" by removing the hospital from the list approved for direct payment.
