Arturo Toscanini Dies in Sleep At Age of S9

NEW YORK R-Arturo Tosca- nini, poor Italian boy who be- came one of the worlds foremost orchestra conductors, died in his sleep today. He was 89.
 Death occurred at his home in Riverdale, The Bronx. His son, Walter, said the famous maestro had suffered a stroke on New Years Day and had not fully re- covered from it.
 Toscanini's brilliant care CT spanned 70 years, and won him virtually every honor the musical world has to offer.
 He had already scored great success before he came to the United States in 19O8 In this country he swept on to the heights.
 For seven seasons he conducted at the renowned Metropolitan Opera in New York-during the era of such never-to-be- forgotten artists as Caruso, Melba and Scotti. But disagreement, never explained, caused him to quit the Met in 1915, never to return.
 Subsequently, he directed the New York Philharmonic Sym phony and the National Broad casting Co. Symphony Orchestra. The latter brought him closer to the American public than any of his other endeavors.
 Toscanini conducted his last concert with the NEG Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall on April 4, 1854.
 Toscanini, known as a severe taskmaster and a perfectionist in his direction, was hailed by many as sthe greatest living conductor" :"

Antarctic Claims Seabee Victim in Weasel Accident
BY DON GUY

McMlURDO SOUND, Antarctica A 22-year-old Seabee has become the eighth fatality of the current American campaign into the fro zen antarctic.
 Ole Barrett Bartley of Slaugs, Ky, drowned Monday when the Weasel snow tractor in which he and five other men were rid ing plunged thru thin ice near Hut Point. Bartley's companions escaped altho they suffered shock from being dashed into the icy water. :.
 The vehicle tipped over and disappeared beneath the surface only 50 yards from the spot where a weathered wooden cross marks the loss of a British seaman from the Scott expedition of 1902.
 Bartley's body was recovered nine hours after the accident by Navy frogmen flown in by heli- copter from a cargo ship.
 The Weasel was travelling over ice formed in the year since the icebreaker Glacier broke chan nel to Hut Point

 Most of the frozen surface is four feet thick, but it was be- lieved that currents near the shore weakened the spot where the vehicle broke thru.

Snow Follows
 -55 Record Cold In New York State
By the Associated Press

A heavy snowstorm described as dangerous and intensifying" blanketed much of the northeast today while subzero cold kept it's grip on the midwest.
 The storm, moving northeaster- ly near the mid-Atlantic coast, dumped from three to eight inch es of snow in an area which yes terday suffered it's coldest weath- CT of the season. The cold moder- ated somewhat.
 The snowfall slowed trains, buses and autos in the New York City area and caused some delays in airline schedules.
 Glacial cold reached 55 degrees below zero Tuesday in upstate New York.
 The minus 55 mark at Boon- vile set an al-time record for New York State, shattering 23- year-old record set when the mercury sank to 52 below at Still water Reservoir Feb. g, 1884.
 Local records fell by the hun dreds as the arctic siege went into it's second day Tuesday.
 At Owls Head in New York s Adirondacks, an unofficial -57 was reported yesterday.
 New York City, favored by it's coastal location, recorded 3 above zero early yesterday.
