(By The Associated Press)
A savage winter curtain call of fierce wind, snow and rain storms howled across the Midwest during the weekend and swept eastward with undiminished fury.
At least nine deaths were blamed on the whiplash storms.
Fire deaths, always a major winter hazard, numbered more than 30.
The late winter storms left thousands of persons stranded for hours. Included were nearly 350 passengers on four Chicago and Northwestern Railroad trains which got stuck in 12-foot snow drifts in Wisconsin. All of the trains had sufficient fuel to heat the cars and all passengers had food during their enforced layovers, ranging up to 12 hours.
Striking as spring stood waiting in the wings for its seasonal debut on Saturday, the storms brewed tornadoes which killed three persons in Arkansas.
Elsewhere, the rigors of snow shoveling claimed two lives in Iowa. A pulp cutter died of exposure in his cabin in northwest Michigan.
In Cleveland Heights, Ohio, a man was killed when blown off a second-story porch Sunday during a windstorm which carried gusts up to 82 m.p.h.
More than a score of persons suffered injuries in the storms. Property damage was heavy.
