Livestock barn
 totally destroyed at spenurd Sunday

ANCHORAGE (P) One of the biggest livestock barns in the Anchorage area went up in smoke early yesterday and the loss was expected to exceed $30,OOO.
 Trapped inside the raging inferno were 26 calves, seven sows and 2,OOO chickens. A large heating plant, some as sorted farm equipment and a quantity of feed also were lost
 The fire consumed the barn of Harry Suggitt, well known S,penard businessman, farmer and former fire department board official, located almost five miles from the Spenard shopping center.
 Suggitt, a volunteer fireman himself, battled the flames with his part time firemen friends more than a half hour, but the blaze had too much of head start.
 Spenard fire chief Ken Fish CT said the big barn, the equiv alent of three story building, was a mass of flames when his men arrived shortly after 2 am
 Fisher said it was impossible to save the livestock and any of the building by the time the blaze was discovered and fire men were called. He said his men used the limited supply o1 l water from their two trucks tc save some smaller structures nearby.
 SuIggitt, incidentally, had re turned from Palmer only a few hours earlier where he had helE ed Palmer volunteers fight 2 $50,O0O fire which partially destroyed the American Legior building there.

Convention asked 10 give Natives l60 acres of land

He charged that a new civil zation is sweeping over native villages, depriving natives of rights and all land.
 Petitions for overhauling land laws lay in the land office gathering dust and they will end there," he said. 'The Great White Fa.Iher is too far away and has too many agents
 Col. Marsten said he has spent three years trying to get the title to land at Unalakleet turned over to Eskimos there. But he said the complicated ramifications" of the present land laws make it virtually impossible for natives to oh- tain property to land they have occupied for generations.
 The delegate from Spenard changed that military has er- ected installations at Unalak- leet and has overrun land that has been owned by natives without title for generations.
 Delegates were pleased with the results of their first pub lie hearings and have schedul- ed more in the future.
 On Saturday, one speaker, Vera Banks of Fairbanks charg ed that civil liberty is not a reality in Alaska. She said that discrimination against negroes in selling and renting of prop erty exists in Fairbanks and other places.
 Others who addressed the committee hearings included Lee Gardner of Fairbanks, Rev John Stokes and Norman Hogg also of Fairbanks.
 Delegates rose in protest when delegate Barrie White of Anchorage made proposal that members of the general public be required to register in the manner of lobbists when addressing the convention com mittees.
 He received some support from delegate George Sund- borg of Juneau who believed that the delegates should know if certain speaker is being paid to appear.
 The proposal was referred flo committee.

Long convention
 now appears 10 be a certainty

FAIRBANKS (P) Delegates to the Alaska constitutional con vention today opened their fourth week of work here on the document that is to be the foundation for the new State of Alaska. A long convention appears to De certain y, with some delegates predicting that it will continue for the full 75 days authorized by the legis- lature.
 Among the new proposals under consideration by the con vention was one presented by Col. M. R. Marston, original or ganizer of the Alaska National Guards Eskimo Scout battal- ions. Marston proposed that the new sta.e give all Indians. Aleuts and Eskimos 160 acres of land free of charge.
 He said his proposal was in no way connected with the is- sue of abroginal rights to land.
 Col. Marston delivered a dra matic speech a. a plenary ses- sion held here Saturday in. which he charged present land laws make 1t virtually impos- sible for natives to obtain title to land used for composites or homes.

Truman, denies he used profanity regarding Nixon

LOS ANGELES (P) The Los Angeles Examiner today quot ed one of its reporters as say- ing former President Harry $. Truman said yesterday of vice president Nixon:
 II don't even want to discuss that Don't even men ton his name to me-
 The Los Angeles Times quot ed Truman: II don't like the ........ and I don't care who knows it!'
 But Truman, who arrived here yesterday, denied making the statements. A spokesman at the Beverly Hills home of oilman Edwin Pauley, where Truman is staying, quoted the ex-president as saying he would never speak in any such way of anybody holding the office of vice president.
 Both newspapers said the quotes were Truman's response at the air port when reporters asked what his reaction would be to Nixon becoming the 1856 Republican candidate for pres ident.
 The spokesman quoted Tru- man as saying he said instead: You know how I feel, so don't talk fto me about MT. Nixon"

.Frigid air grips
 portion of nation
Iby The Associated Press

Frigid air - termed the most severe of the late autumn season by the weather bureau gripped a vast portion of the nation today.
 The cold Arctic air covered the country from the Rockies to the Alppalachians and reach ed from the Canadian border into the western gulf states.
 The cold snap, said the wea- ther bureau, had just about ex pended it's force in the south early today and was moving eastward at about 30 miles per hour.
 Cold wave conditions became the rule rather than the excep- ton for most of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley as well as the middle and upper Mississippi valley. The cold was accompan jed by gusty winds and snow flurries.
 It slicked roads in parts of the midwest to add driving per ills to motorists returning home from an extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
 Sunday midnight ternpera- lures hovered abound the zero mark or below in parts of Wis consin, Minnesota and NortK Dakota and Minnesota.
