...Other stockmen waged similar battles. Railroads moved all available stock cars into sidings at Hugo, Limon, Boyero, Wild Horse, Kit Carson, Cheyenne Wells and Arapahoe. Few ranchers were lucky enough to get more than a small percentage of their cattle out of the drifts, and many distant herds had not eaten for a week after the storm. As a desperate expedient, the Keystone Ranch near Karval had Army bombers try dropping baled hay to some of its cattle. After that seven Army C-47s began hay-bombing on a larger scale. As the cold weather continued, airlines passengers reported seeing...

At one time trucks were backed up four miles at Omaha waiting to unload; drivers had to turn hoses on their stock to keep it from dying in the hot sun.

Trim, hearty Legionnaire Stambaugh, a successful Fargo lawyer and long-time advocate of U.S. participation in world affairs, has invested in 53 red-white-& -blue billboards for a high-pressure campaign. But the grain growers and stockmen who cast most of North Dakota's votes listen to his tireless speechmaking with stony faces. They regard him as a city slicker backed by city slickers...
