Costly Fire Today At Atlantic City Million-Dollar Pier Is Damaged By Fire Atlantic City. N. J . Sept. 12. I —(t’Pl— A general alarm fire I swept the boardwalk end of the < famous million dollar pier here to- j day but a low tide and a favorable ! gale wind enabled firemen to keep i It from spreading. ' A 33-foot navy crashboat, outfit- i ted as a fireboat, was called from nearby Absecon Inlet to help fire- | men fight the fire. The boat ran aground, however, about *4 mile I from the pier and was unable to lend assistance. Three persons, who lived in apartments at the seward end of the famous pier, were trapped for a time but firemen managed to | erect ladders from the beach and brought them to safety. The fire was discovered by patrolman Harold Mcßride as he passed the entrance of the pier ( while walking his beat. The flam-! ( es. whipped by the strong wind, were shooting from windows in the ballroom by the time the first firemen arrived. The 175 firemen first concentrated their efforts on keeping the flames from spreading to the widely-known wooden promenade and the numerous buildings on the shore side Rut a shift in the wind | ended the danger of the fire spreading shoreward. A tide enabled firemen to walk cut on the beach far enough to play high pressure hose lines on the Reward side of the flames. At the height of the blaze, the famous race-horse sign which stands about 200 feet high above the ballroom collapsed The huge steel frame of the sign toppled backward, collapsing the roof of the ballroom building After battling the fire nearly three hours, firemen were able to confine the flames to a IM-yard section of the pier adjoining th* boardwalk. The ballroom, lobby J and entrance to the pier was destroyed along with a rolling chair ' concession and a bingo hall flankI Ing the main entrance. | Firemen estimated damage to the I pier would exceed >206.000. John Evler. operator of the rolling chair concession, said 41 chairs and other equipment worth an additional >25,000 also was destroyed. Young Wabash Girl Is Fatally Burned Wabash, Ind..

Left-Wing Unions Oppose Proposals Phil Murray Move Puts Him On Spot Washington. Sept 13 — <fP>— CIO president Philip Murray's abandonment of the drive for a fourth round wage increase put him on a spot today with CIO leftwing unions. Murray urged his united steelworkers to accept the recommendations of President Truman's fact-finding board Just about the time the Mine. Mill and Smelter Workers convention in Chicago voted to call on him to reject the recommendations and renew the wage drive. President John Clark of the smelter workers union ridiculed the steel board's proposal as ' a puny, piddling pension and we! fare program." Grant Oakes, president of the left-wing United Farm Equipment Workers Union (CIOL said the steelworkers accepted a settlement formula that is "Inadequate?' Labor sources said these reactions may presage a series of attacks on Murray by other leftwing unions prior to the ClO's national convention in Cleveland on Oct. 31. The United Electrical Workers, biggest of the CIO leftish organizations, will open its convention next Monday in Cleveland, and it is expected to Join in the general criticism of Murray's policies.
