Long overdue snowfalls which ranged
up to seven Inches brightened the
winter crop outlook in the one-time
dust country and adjoining areas
today.
Winter's welcome onslaught erased
visions of a return of the vast palls
of wind-borne dust that snuffed
out winter wheat hopes In the
southwestern "dust bowl" in 1034-35.
The storms covered much of Colo
rado, Kansas and Oklahoma and
parts of Texas. New Mexico and Ari

drought had depleted seriously the
contents of water reservoirs, two
days of rain and snow copiously ful
filled prayers for moisture offered

Angeles river began to recede last

LIMA, Peru, Dec. 21. (AP) War
time aerial ' bombardments which
destroy non-combatants and cultural
treasures were condemned today In a
declaration adopted by a Pan-American
conference committee repre
senting the 31 republics of the west
ern hemisphere.
L MA, Peru. Dec. 21. (AP) The
principal delegations to the Pan
American conference agreed today
on a declaration of roopeintlve ac
tion against aggression, ending a
ten-day dispute on wording between
the United Stntes and Arnentlna.
The declaration, highly reliable
conference Informant said, provides
for consultation against aggression,
the menace of forco, and subversive
political propaganda.
Argentina won her point. In that
European or other non-American na
tions were not named specifically.
The United States attained Its pur
pose, however, delegates said, in ob
taining a declaration to which all
the 21 American republics could sub
scribe. Many of the delegates held It was
fear of propagandist incursion by
European totalitarian, dictator states
which Inspired the resolution In the
first place; that even If It did not
speclfloally contain the phrase "ag
gression from without" its warning
was evident. '
A most reliable source said the
United Stntes, Argentine, Brazilian
and Peruvian delegation chiefs agreed
to a final draft at conferences last
ing until early morning.
The Argentine Insistence the dec
laration be against all aggressors
was based on the contention the
United States might one day alter
the good neighbor policy and be
herself a potential aggiessor.
The resolution now awaits the ap
proval of home governments and,
with the principal dispute settled,
likely will be adopted unanimously
within a few days, delegation spokes
men said. It provides for resistance
against any aggression or menace of
Aggression by force Against any

WITH PROBE OF
Detectives Investigate Pos
sible Connection With
Unsolved Slaying of Weal
thy Brooklyn Brothers
NEW YORK. Dec. 21. (AP) The
F. Donald Costcr-Phlllp Musics mys
tery, already Involving millions and
international duplicity, took a new
nnd more sinister turn today as
Brooklyn detectives began Investigat
ing the swindler's possible connection
with the unsolved murders of Joseph
Cohen, wealthy poultry and fish
dealer, and his brother, Bamett.
The Cohen brothers were shot down
a month apart. In the spring of 1032.
Police Inspector Michael S. McDer
mott ordered detectives to
question members of the Cohen fam
ily as well as Coster-Muslca's three
brothers George Vernard-Muslca,
Georgo E. Dlctrlch-Muslca, and Rob
ert Dletrlch-Muslca who are . being
held In $100,000 ball each on charges
of violating the securities act of 1934.
Triple Invest I gut Ion
The investigation started as federal,
state and city authorities delved
deeper Into the fantastically Involved
activities of the Musics brother
Philip who became the respected
head of McKesson and Bobbins, Inc.,
and the brothers who aided him, all
working under the elaborate guise of
fictitious names and fictitious back
grounds. Coster-Muslca killed himself last
Friday after he had been exposed as
the arch-swindler In a million dollar
scandal a quarter of a century old.
An investigation was already under
wy into the missing $18,000,000 as
sets of the drug concern's crude drugs
department when he fired a bullet
Into his head In his Fairfield. Conn.,
home. ,
Brian McMahon, assistant U, S. at
torney who came here from Washing
ton to take charge of the multiple
phases of the Investigation, said yea
ttrday the Mustca . brothers appar
ently frittered away millions of the
corporation's dollars and probably
used great sums to hush blackmail
ers. Knew .MunIi'U
Inspector McDcrmott's tentative
theory, calling for a reopening of the
alaylnga of the two Brooklyn men,
followed the same line.
Both the Coli on - brothers had
known Coster-Muslca In the lean
days before he became a corporation
prt-sident with a palatial Italian villa
In Fairfield and a 123-foot yacht.
Joseph Cohen spent a year In the
death house at Sing Sing as the
slayer of Barnctt Baff, poultry mer
chant In 1014, after Coster-Muslca.
then working as ad Investigator for
the district attorney, had been Instru
mental in getting an affidavit from
the two gangsters confined In Sing
Sing Implicating Cohen In the case.
There, was some doubt, however, as to
whether the truth had been told and
Cohen's sentence was commuted to
life imprisonment. Later he was re
leased. As a result of the affidavits Coster
Muslca was Indicted on a charge of
subornation of perjury but was never
brought to trial.
The Indictment. Mr Dor mot t said,
was dismissed in 1020, three years
after Coster-Muslca had become Mc
Kesson and Rob bins president and
had hidden his criminal past.

There was the possibility, the In
spector said, that the Cohen brothers,
remembering Coster-Muslca's part In
the case, had stumbled across the fact
