National Gallery Receives
Byzantine School Painting

A Byzantine School Q3th CEN
tury) painting of the Madonna
and Child Enthroned. has been
bequeathed to the National Gal
lery of Art, it was announced
yesterday.
Director David E. Finley said the
gift was from the late Mrs. Otto
Kahn, New York. He explained
the wood panel painting by an
unknown Greek artist is so closely
related in style to painting of
the same subject in the Mellon
collection that some critics be-
lieve they are by the same hand.
Until 1920, both panels we're in
a convent in Calahorra, Aragon,
Spain, he said. where they evil
IDENTIFY had been for centuries.
The Madonna, who holds the
Child on her left arm, is seated
on carved and painted wooden
throne. Her dark blue cloak hangs
in folds accented in gold accord
ing to the Byzantine conventional
treatment of drapery.

 Two new deaths were added to the storm toll, bringing the total since last Fridays blizzard to IT.

 A second victim was tentatively identified as Loyel Johnson of the Grants Pass, Ore, area. He appar- ently collapsed in the snow-block- ed Oregon Caves Highway.
 Most flying service was either curtailed or shut down.
 A rescue crew reported it had reached the snowbound Cape Horn country 25 miles east of Vancouver in southwest Washing ton. The party, which had to ski in after a snow weasel broke down, said none of the 50 families in the area were in distress al though one had been running low on supplies.

Pioneer Trapper Rescued By Merle Smith

CORDOVA, (P)-Mike Laddy, an old-time pugilist and rugged individualist, is having a hard time of it on his Copper river valley trapline. They're going to try to fly him out this weekend.
 Laddy, pushing 70 years of age, took a small store of food and the necessary traps to his trapline re- gently.
 This week, word came from other trappers in the area that the old-timer had an injured foot and was short of grub.
 Merle "Mudhole" Smith. Cor dova bush pilot, flew over Mikes cabin and said he saw Laddy stagger out, wave and fall. Unable to land at the spot, Smith re- turned to Cordova and arranged with a trapper to move Laddy 70 a clearing where a plane could sit down.
 Saturday, pilot Smith will again try to reach Mike and bring him out for hospital treatment.
 Friends say they've tried to talk Laddy out of hitting the trapline in favor of taking it easy, but that he told them he was intent on slugging out a living and to bla- zes with old age security.

Gas Seepage Fatal For Couple

SEATTLE, (P)- Gas seepage from a broken line outside their home snuffed out the lives of sleeping couple here during the night. They did not have gas tic- lures in their home and the leak age was from about 40 feet away
 The victims were John J. Cot ton, 42, and his wife, Julia, 40. He was an accountant.
 Coroner John Brill's office said gas company employees reported the line break about 40 feet from the Cotton house.
 A "snub line" ran to their base ment. Coroner's deputies said the gas from the main line break ap- parently followed along this un- used line under the frozen earth.
 The snub line was one laid from the main in case the house occu- pants ever wanted to have gas service.

Gas And Oil ScOw Burns In Petersburg HarbOr

PETERSBURG, (P)-A burning scow, loaded with exploding drums of crude and diesel oil, gas oline and acetylene gas, drifted aimlessly in Petersburg harbor early today before being beached three miles south.
 Don Bell, operations superin- tendent here for the Puget sound Bridge and Dredge Co.,, said there were no casualties.
 Bell said the fire broke out when sparks from an acetylcne torch, being used to thaw a fro- zen pump, ignited gasoline.
 The billowing flames from the exploding drums attracted virtu- ally the entire town to highways lining the harbor where the scow drifted helplessly. Once it came dangerously close to the speciality processors cannery.
 SEATTLE, R-- Jim McCurdy, manager of the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company'S Alaska operations, said today that the burning of one of their scows at Petersburg Wednesday will have no effect whatsoever on the firms's work there.
 The loss from the fire will not exceed couple thousand dollars McCurdy said, and will not affect the Wrangell narrows dredge job for which the company was low bidder.
