The individual rate cut in calendar 1963, if Congress ap- proved, would amount to some $3,000,000,000.

"|ties were blocked by snowdrifts Winter I LONDON (CP) Freezing winds aad snow whipped across Britain today, burying the shi- vering country deeper in one of its worst winters in recorded history. After almost a month of bliz- zards, record cold and search- ing winds, the nation was run- ning short of fuel and electric power, Its railroads were strug- gling and its road network was in chaos. ; More than 100 major high- ways in 80 of Britain's 86 coun- and treacherous ice. Virtually the entire country lay beneath a thickening crust of snow that has been there since Christmas. Weathermen held out no hope of an early end to the freeze. The British air ministry is- sued the warning: '"'We can see no change for at least four days." The Thames River froze bank to bank at Kingston. It was the first time since 18% that the river has frozen so far down- stream. Searchers looked for three men feared dead beneath ava- lanches in the Pennine Hills of northem England. Snow and ice on runways forced British European Air- lines to cancel 44 flights out of London Airport. Trains between London and the suburbs ran hours late. The intense cold froze the wheels of some trains to the tracks, FACE POWER CUTS Britain faced the bleak pros- |pect further electric power of both a wilde Zo-slow strike and an official overtime ban by workers in the electric power industry. A British electricity board n U.K. spokesman said the backlog of work and repairs caused by the strike had. left power supplies "seriously jeopardized" in Lon- don and its immediate area . Leaders of the Electrical). Trades Union--one of five un-|' ions involved in the electricity industry--decided to end their official ban on overtime. . But the union's executive council warned it was still dis-|' satisfied with the '"'totally un- acceptable' pay settlement reached last Wednesday, and called for new negotiations. EUROPE HIT HARD On the continent, ice breakers were smashing. their way to iso- lated islands in Scandinavia, and troops were called out to aid isolated villages in Austria and Holland today. In western Austria a state of emergency was declared when many villages were cut off by snowstorms. Police said at least four people died from the cold over the weekend. Blizzards were forecast for eastern and northern Sweden as temperatures plunged ,again to- day. Italy also continued to take a beating from the weather. Freezing temperatures gripped the peninsula after a weekend of snow and rain, Four persons died in unheated homes. Venice's lagoon was frozen over. Icicles formed on Rome's famous fountains, In the Appen- nines, snowdrifts and landslides left several villages isolated. In. West Germany tem- tthe ; r and sunny. In Moscow the tempera- ture dropped to 18 degrees be- low zero, It was the Soviet cap- ital's coldest day of the year.

NOT evidence of proof of the fact. Mr. Justice Morand said the jury heard this evidence only to consider the conduct of the com- Plainant at the time. He said evidence given by Walter Waku- lowsky and Oleh Sandul, who picked up the girl, was not evi- dence of corroboration. Both witnesses told the court last week the girl had told them: "I was raped, I was raped." How this evidence should be considered was one of two com- plaints by Defence Counsel Brian A. Grosman of Toronto. Following the charge to the jury, in which Mr. Justice Mor- and reviewed the evidence and the statements of both Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck and Mr. Grosman, the defence counsel objected to the inclusion of com- mon assault as one of three pos- sible verdicts. Mr. Justice Morand had told the jury they might return one| of three verdicts: Guilty; Not Guilty; Guilty of common as- sault. When Mr. Grosman objected, Mr, Justice Morand retired to his chambers to hear the charge reread. On the jury's return, he refused to make any change in the possible verdicts he had previously listed, The jury was in for only four minutes and went out again at 12.05 p.m, Court was adjourned to 2 p.m. WEST GERMAN Chancellor Konrad.

In both cases, the weekend brought. freeing rain and wind- driven blizzards, with chaos on the highways, Most of Canada had only the normal midJanuary deep- freeze to contend with, but the widely separated storms which touched Alberta and southern Ontario during the weekend gave residents of those areas an unpleasant change. The warm Alberta wind brought mixtures of rain, freez- ing rain, snow and gusts as high as 60 miles an hour. Three buses were stranded briefly north of Calgary by icy roads, and others were delayed while highway crews opened drift- clogged highways. The frustrating combination of freezing rain followed howling blizzard sent southern Ontario's accident rate soaring At least four deaths were at- tributed to the storm and spec- acular, multi-vehicle crashes were almost a commonplace.
