Rep. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, former Republican national chairman, dimmed further the ence March 14 that he would be be on any political ticket on which he was a candidate with Nixon. Nixon got more than 22,000 write-in votes in the March 13 New Hampshire primary even before Eisenhower made that statement.

"The convention alone will make preted in some quarters as another sign that Nixon is popular its choice." Scott said in a ith the GOP rank and file. radio interview, but he added: "I think the ticket will be Eisenhower and Nixon." Scott is looked upon as a member of the liberal wing of the GOP from which most suggestions for dumping Nixon reportedly have come in the past. Nixon's position in the shadow of Eisenhower apparently has been made more secure by private Republican polls. These party samplings are said to have indicated that Democratic criticism of the vice president has not penetrated deep enough to damage materially Scott also is close to former any ticket the President heads.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Dry weather prevailed over most of the nation today with indications of rain or snow for some sections on Easter Sunday. Generally cool spring weather continued in wide areas from the northern Great Lakes region southward through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys and eastward to New England. There was a warming trend from the plains westward across the Rockies to the Pacific coastal states.

Precipitation was i mainly to the Northwest and Northeast regions. Heaviest falls of snow, around six inches, were in Mount Washington, N.H., and Caribou, Maine. Falls ranged from 1 to 3 inches from central New York through New England. Snow or snow flurries continued during the morning in northern Ohio, western and northern Pennsylvania, western New York and Maine. In the Pacific Northwest, snow falls ranged from light to moderate through northern Idaho, Washington, Oregon and the northern California coast.

Widely scattered showers were reported last night in north central Texas and along the South Atlantic Coast. There was a cooling in the Southern states with temperatures rolling festivities on the White House lawn the following day.

For the youngsters, Easter baskets were brimful of sweets, cross-shaped, egg shaped, bunny shaped, all guaranteed to taste good. Traditional sunrise services will be held in many places.

In both Catholic and Protestant churches, special music was planned to mark the day. The weather outlook is generally good, though perhaps a little chilly for Easter parading. The forecast calls for generally clear skies and moderately warm temperatures Sunday afternoon. Across the state, Good Friday was observed with the most solemn rites of the year in Christian churches. Banks and government offices were closed, as were many private businesses.

The reductions would be completed in 1958. Corresponding reductions in conventional armaments and military appropriations. Creation of an international control agency to check on "fulfillment of obligations" at big ports and airfields, army bases and depots and munitions factories. The agency could make recommendations to the U.N. Security Council "on measures of preventing and stopping the actions of violators of the agreement." An immediate ban on thermonuclear tests.

Tass quoted the Russian plan on controls: "When confidence between the states has been consolidated, the countries concerned will examine the possibility of using aerial photography as one of the methods of control." This was an obvious reference to President Eisenhower's plan for aerial reconnaissance. The proposed limits for armed forces are the same as those put forward in the Anglo-French plan of 1954.

Removal of the records came after the government turned down as premature a cash bid for the seized property.

Harry Sacher, attorney for the newspaper, said yesterday's removal was by agreement. He said Treasury officials assured him the subscription lists would not be turned over to the FBI. An internal revenue spokesman in Washington said the subscription cards contain' data that "definitely relate to income" in the government's tax case. The government seized offices to Curwensville.
