Dust Storm Brings Night in Mid-Afternoon--Lights were turned on by mid-afternoon in Dallas today as a dust storm comparable to the 1930s struck a wide area of the Southwest. This picture was made on a downtown Dallas street two hours before sunset-- a time when the area is normally brilliant with light. Street lights and automobile headlights were necessary for movement. A time exposure was necessary to obtain a picture.
