Ten German Boy Scouts were reported lost in blizzards that buried them in the Austrian Alps where they were under going a "courage test." The weather was blamed for five deaths in Britain and five in Sweden. On the French Riviera, a 70-year-old man was swept away and drowned by a huge wave that engulfed the promen ade at Menton. The dread "black frost" which last month sank three British trawlers off Iceland with the loss of 40 lives struck in Oslo Fjord, Norway, last night. The layer of ice forming on the 657 ton coaster Toron caused it to heel over and sink but there were no casualties. British Royal Air Force planes and giant snowplows brought food to isolated com munities in Northern Scotland. Some areas had been cut off since Jan. 3 by heavy snows. r ' is .
