CONFEREN AT MOSCOW TACKLES
 MANY PROBLEMS
By EDDIE GILMORE

MOSCOW. Dec. 20.-The Foreign Ministers of Soviet Russia, Great Britain and the United States were reported making steady progress as they went into the fifth day of their conference today, but there were indications they did not expect to finish by Christmas.
 The first intimation that the meeting might go over into the next week and possibly continue at- ter Christmas was a disclosure by informed quarters that U. $. Sec retary of State James F. Byrnes planned to attend the annual Christmas Eve dinner of the Amer ican colony Monday.
 So far there has been no official estimate as to how long the con- ference would last, but observers pointed out that the ministers had before them a multiplicy of prob lens. some of which were extreme ly complicated, and that disposi- tion of these issues would naturally require time.
 There was no definite informa- ton as to which of the numerous problems on the agenda had been under discussion or just how far the ministers had gone toward dis posing of any of them. Strict sec recy continued to surround the dis cussions.

WINTER lS TAKING FIRM GRIP; SIXTY
 TWO LOSE LIVES
(By The Associated Press)

Winter, which sneaked into the nations autumnal weather scene a couple of weeks before it's official entry date, appeared ready today to continue holding the climatic spotlight for the next few months.
 The Federal Weather Bureau re- ported temporary break in the prolonged cold wave which has gripped a wide section of the coun- try for the past several days. But forecasters said new mass of cold air was moving in from central Canada and would hit the Dakotas and Minnesota tonight
 A blanket of snow extended from the Rockies eastward into New England and into the South, with the heaviest falls in the eastern section. Falls ranging to depth of more than five feet were re- ported in some sections of New York State. The cold that covered the same area, with sub-zero tenn peratures general this week from eastern Montana to Indiana and Illinois.
 The extended cold snap, which has crippled transportation, dis rupted communications, fore d schools to close and curtailed pro- duction in many industries, also was responsible for at least 62 deaths.

ORDERS POLICE DEPARTMENT CLEANING
VETERANS WARNED
 ABOUT COMING 10
 ALASkA;; FACES OUT

WASHINGTON, Dec 20-Alaska is anxious to welcome war veterans to settle in the Territory but wants them to understand that the Ter ritory never was a -rich-quick' land except for a limited few
 Delegate Bartlett, who represents the Territory in Congress, warned the veterans that while Alaskans would welcome them heartily, they should not arrive in Alaska broke" !" He said transportation was ex- pensive up there and most of it was by airplane.
 Don't go at all if you will not have nest egg upon arrival" he cautioned the veterans.
 What Is Wanted
 The delegate said there was room for farmers, a few professional men, such as doctors and dentists, and urgent need for additional small industries. He predicted that gold mining, closed during the war, would reopen with surge. He said there was urgent need for lodges and camps and said the Territory's s tourist business would grow fast as soon as travel to the Territory is available.
 Bartlett and Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing, who is in Washington, have asked the President to have the government make plans for aiding veterans to settle in Alaska. They told the President their most press ing need was housing and roads.
 Don't Gene Too Fast
 They said the Territory was ready to take care of the veterans if they don't come too fast" and are prepared to meet the rugged conditions they must face.
 The four principal farming areas in the Territory are the Tanana Valley the area near Homer on the Keani Peninsula, parts of Ko- diak Island and the Matanuska Valley, where there are already about 250 farms. Those farms Of 30 to 160 acres, owned by the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Cor poration, sell for from S4,500 to S6.000, with about 20 per cent down payment Undeveloped gov- ernment land may be purchased at S1.25 to $5 an acre but is usually covered with birch-spruce forest and must be cleared before it can be farmed
 Mining Prospects
 Most Alaska mining is large scale operations, but the individual prospector has not entirely disap- peared from the Territory.
 Another business is that of fur farming and the Territory yields more than S2,0Oo,000 worth of furs annually. A fur farm may be leased from the government for 10 years at an annual rental of 1 per cent of the gross returns from fur sales.
 The Territory comprises nearly 100000 square miles, is twice as big as Texas, and climatically, a settler could take his choice.

MORE ATROCITIES OF GERMANS ARE
 GIVEN AT TRIAL
Poisoned Bullets for Pris- oners Naked Women
 Used on Frozen Men
Bu DANIEL DE LUCE

NUREMBERG, Dec. 2O.--Nazi Elite Guard (SS) surgeons fired poisoned bullets into concentration camp prisoners and carefully re- corded the symptoms accompanying slow deaths for the victims, accord ing to German documents disclosed tcday at the war crimes trial of a score of Hitler's highest leaders.
 Details of the notorious activities of the black -shirted Elite Guard were unfolded before the military were unfolded before the Inter- national military tribunals by Ameri- can prosecutors to support then charges that the SS and five other powerful Nazi organizations should be convicted as criminal groups.
 Poisoned Bullets
 The poisoned bullet experiments resulted in the deaths of three out of five prisoners selected SS re- cords disclosed.
 The prosecution also recounted the experiments, previously reported at the Dachau war crimes trial, in which women prisoners were used to rewarm frozen men with the heat of their naked bodies.
 Naked Women Used
 The scientists eventually report cd that the experiments, conducted for the Air Force and Navy, dis closed that the practice Of re- warming with womens bodies was inferior to rapid rewarming' by artificial means.
 As the court session headed to- ward g Christmas fortnight adjourn ment late today only 20 of the z accused Nazi leaders were in the prisoners box.
 Security Police Chief Ernst Kalt- enbrunner, suffering from a recur- renee of a cranial hemorrhage, was reported in somewhat improved con- dition but Army hospital physicians were still concerned for his life The 22nd defendant, Martinn Bor- mann, is still missing, and is being tried in absentia.

NEW ANGLE IN LOCAL MURDER
 IS DISCOUNTED

Recent disclosures have opened a new avenue of approach to solu- ton of the mystery cloaking the brutal murder here of Clarence J. Campbell, whose hacked body was found more than a week ago in the Scatter Tract
 However, authorities were inclin- ed to consider former leads on which they had been working as having more promise and were in- vestigatipg the new angle mainly in their determination to overlook no possible clue to solution.
