"Under tt all." so many of them are really still in love. THE ASSOCIATED PKESS A new cold wave, just as bitter and unwelcome as the old one last weekend, stung the Midwest today. Frigid air blanketed most of the nation's mid-section. It was 30 degrees below zero in northern Minnesota and it was near zero as far south as northern Arkansas. Snow added to the wintry chill from northern Arkansas and southern Missouri into Tennessee and southern Kentucky.

It was freezing in northern sections of the Gulf states. Most of the eastern and southern sections were out of the cold air pocket. But the icy air appeared headed through the Ohio Valley and into the Middle Atlantic states and New England as well as the western Gulf region. Mote than five inches of snow covered FayettevUle, and storm swept across parts of the middle Missouri and Ohio valleys yesterday and continued during the night in some areas. Skies cleared behind the snow belt and temperatures drop ped, edging to near zero at Fayetteville.

Snow flurries flecked the Appalachians and light snow and flurries fell in the Great Lakes region from northern Indiana northward through northern Michigan. The snow cover at Houghton, was 46 inches. Light snow also was reported in the northern Rockies, adding one inch to the 37 Inches already on the ground at West Yellowstone, Mont. Rain Rain dampened opposite corners of the country in western sections of Washington and Oregon and in southern Florida. Falls in most spots Here under one inch.

Skies were generally clear to partly cloudy for most of the eastern sections of the country except lor snow flurries in the Appalachians and lower Great Lakes region. Clear weather prevailed from California eastward across the southern Rockies and throughout the Plains and Mississippi Valley.

Rogers said the President's program shied away from "extreme measures or elements of retaliation." He said the peaceful start of integration in Virginia was "the important factor in convincing the administration that a stronger federal hand was not needed at this time."

Pfaff's continuing efforts to save marriages have received wide publicity. He heard more than 5.000 divorce cases last year. Think of your youngsters, his booklet tells the feuding couple. Three-fourths of juvenile offenders come from broken homes. "Children are too often the forgotten third parties to a divorce action." Look past the present.

The congressmen themselves -as guests of the Anny-plan Germany Okays Race Issue Act BONN, Germany. A bill authorizing stiff penalties for verbal attacks on anyone's race or religion cleared its first legislative hurdle today in West Germany parliament. The upper house, or Bundes-rat, gave unanimous approval to the measure.

It now must pass the lower house, or Bundestag, and be reapproved by the Bundesrat. The bill directed particularly against expressions of anti-semitism, but floor leaders said it would be equally applicable to persons inciting hatred against any religious, racial or national group. A number of anti-semitic incidents in recent months has stirred parliament. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has called for firm action in order to preserve the Bonn Kepuoiic reputation aboard. The new law fixes a mini mum sentence of three months in jail for anyone who incites to hatred against national.

racial or religious groups, or who publicly assails such groups. Fines are also provided and no maximum ceiling is put on penalties. Backers of the measure argue that it is stiffer than the present law, which provides maximum jail term of up to two years for those who incite people to acts of violence against "classes of people." No minimum penalty is pro vided. More Abour JACKIE DIES Continued From Page 1-A1 her eyes from the form on th pavement. A patrolman walked over and knelt beside the boy.

CP Scientists trying for a new-altitude record for unmanned balloons released a huge 3-million-cubic-foot model here today at 5:33 a.m.

Dr. Michael Friedlander of Washington University at St. Louis. said the big bag was rising at 800 feet per minute in perfect weather for the attempt. It carried 100 pounds of instruments to measure cosmic ray intensities and to take toher scientific data.

The balloon will radio some of the findings back to the ground and will release its instruments by parachute when it reaches its maximum altitude. Dr. Friedlander said. The name of Walla Walla, in. Washington, means "many waters" in the Indian tonu.

PARIS, un Allied prep arations to counter Russia's Berlin threat picked up speed today as Secretary of State Dulles met with French leaders and British Prime Minister Macmillan made plans for his Moscow trip. Diplomats in Paris said Dulles in the second stop of his listening tour would find the French deter mined to preserve Western unity in dealing with the Russians on Germany. The American secretary called first on Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville.i Then he was to see President de Gaulle, whose independence in the past has given his Allies worrisome moments. Britons of all political complexion cheered Prime Minister Macmillan's decision to fly to Moscow Feb. 21 for what he called a reconnaissance mission.

The suave 64-year-old Macmillan was depicted in the British press as a "diplomatic prince charming out to win the hearts of the Soviet people." Some newspapers predicted the trip would lead to an early East-West summit conference. Secretary Dulles and the French privately endorsed the Macmillan venture as pos i sibly useful, but they did not share the British public's ex pectation that it might start thaw in the cold war. One thing was clear the West will be awaiting Macmil-' lan's return from talks with Soviet Premier Khrushchev before forging any new proposals on the reunification of Germany to counter Russian de- mands that the Allies get out of West Berlin. LISTENING Dulles still insisted that he is carrying no new proposals in his European tour of London. Paris and Bonn.

He implied he is doing mote listen ing than talking I let the way open for a possible shift in Allied strategy.

Lvov, who said the whole thing was a misunderstanding resulting from the language barrier, was charged with petit larceny and re leased in $500 bail.

"We couldnt have missed him if we were a Macy's spokesman said. All this, Macy's thought, was not only illegal, but also rather ungrateful, considering how the store had rolled out the red carpet recently when Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan dropped in to browse around during hia recent tour of the United States. Late yesterday, however, the store decided to drop the charge. "The matter has been carefully considered with all interested parties and the charge will be dropped," a statement released by the store said. Some skeptics suggested that Macy's change of heart originated in the U.
