temperatures caused snow to melt as it fell.
 A binding snowstorm in the New York metropolitan area last night caused one of the greatest traffic jams in the city's history. The jam started during the rush hour when trucks without chains became stalled on slippery approaches to the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Will iamsburg bridges. Thousands of motorists were caught in the jam, many for as long as an hour in one spot.
 All air traffic in the area was at @ standStill. Plane schedules throughout the midwest were irre- gular.
 c. A. Donnel, U. s. weather fore caster at Chicago, said the heaviest snows fell over Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis., sonsin. He said light fall had been reported in parts of the Pacific northwest.
 He predicted additional snow or rain in practically all eastern and northern portions of the north cen- tral states today and in most ex- treme eastern states Sunday. The snow will be accompanied by lower temperatures.
 A three-inch snowfall was re- ported at Washington, D. C., where the temperature hovered in the 20's. Cincinnati four inches of snow. A heavy snow fell at Chicago but melted quickly in temperatures which ranged to IS degrees above normal for January.
 Indiana was digging out of its heaviest snowfall of the season. In many places it was a foot deep. The state highway department ordered out 800 pieces of snow-fighting equipment to clear highways.
 Donnel said the storm was cen- tered over the Ohio valley and was moving rapidly northeastward to- ward New York and New England He said the heaviest snowfall today would occur in New York, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Continued from Page D sentenced to life imprisonment for the Kidnapping of Edward G. Brem- CT, of St. Paul, and was co-leader of the Barker-Karpis gang which ter rorized the middlewest three years ago.
 He was the third son of Kate (Ma) Barker to die violently in a clash with the law. A fourth is serv- ing life in Leavenworth Federal Prison. Ma Barker was slain with another son in a battle with federal agents in Florida.
 When a blood-stained stretcher, carrying Barker's body arrived in San Francisco, a guard said:
 Well, he's a lot better of now where he is than where he was"
 His body was placed in the coun- ty morgue and if unclaimed will be accorded simple but respectful services and buried in local ceme- tery.
 Stamphill, "lifer" from Okla homa, was reported near death in the prison hospital. He was shot through both legs and an artery was severed.
 The guards fired when Barker and Stamphill would not stop. The prisoners sawed out of their cells, GU the bars over the largest window on the southside of their building, and dropped 10 feet to the ground.
 A heavy fog, before daylight, yelled them as they ran down hill and across a level space, down arl- other 45-degree grade and to high wire fence that surrounds Alcatraz. They climbed the wire before a guard, making his rounds, discov- cred the sawed bars.
 Lights flashed on and the prison siren screamed. Through the fog, guards saw the men dimly. Young and Mccain threw up their hands and stopped. Barker and Stamphill were brought down by rifles. Martin slipped down the rocks and injured himself, and gave up. All five had begun peeling of their uniforms to plunge into the bay.

 FOR BARAN0F
Artist Finishes Three Big MuraIs Public h.
 vited Sunday

Sunday the public is invited to see three new murals recently com pleted by Alaska's vigorous brush expert, Eustace P, ziegler, who has spent two months on the three oils for the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel. ----
 The three. part of number of murals which ziegler is commis- stoned tc do for the hotel, are hang ing in the Geld Room today and need but a few touches for finish ing.
 Each is approximately eight feet by ten feet. One is of horses, men and a loaded boat forging up swol- len mountain river Another is o1 two prcspectors as rugged as the mountain top on which they rest looking at the panorama before them. The third is lone pros pector cooking his lonesome supper on a rocky ledge with bold. but un- limited distances fer backdrop.
 ziegler, well known to all AL askans, has a portion of his exper- fence in the North behind him that is not well known Although 8 wanderer of the woods, a cook. a hardyman, always an artist, few people know that Ziegler came tc the Ncrthland as sky pilot, which branch Of work he forsook for his brushes and his paints in which he has found religion of a deeper sort more tangible to him whose hands were admittedly more subtle with brush than tongue with Gospel
 The frosty haired artist expects to have more Baranof Hotel murals finished before Christmas.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 10

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 10. The Secretary of the Natonal Lumber Manufacturers Association, Dr. Wilson Compton said today that the building industry needs more standardizationS and fewer fancy trimmings if America is to have a housing boom. tA
 Dr. Compton addressed the na- ticnal meeting of the Association. He said there is no need for fun d a m ental reorganization of the building industry-and no call for prefabricated houses to provide ade- quate housing.
 The lumber association secretary said that private builders can erect good small homes for as little as $6OO a room compared to an aver age of $500 for PWA housing pro- jects and $1200 for the Rural Re- settlement Administration.
 Said pr. Compton: we lumber manufacturers are developing types which are structurally sound but use one third less lumber and one fourth less labor. We believe this will result in the building of two houses where one is built at higher cost"
