Authorities sought a third boy who was in the basement with O’Shea and Machaj, and planned to question other boys assigned to carrying trash to the basement. “It would seem to me that some youngster was smoking down there and flipped the cigarette away when he thought he heard someone coming,” Pape said. However, he emphasized that no one was under suspicion at the moment. “At the present time the origin of the fire is still undetermined,” Pape continued. He said it didn’t "make sense that a child would set the fire deliberately” and then return to his classroom. Flames Spread Quickly’ The FBI offered its cooperation in the probe in the event investigators turned up evidence of arson. Authorities said they had not ruled out arson as a possible cause. Sgt. Drew Brown of the arson detail said the thick smoke, at finst believed to have been oil. apparently came from thick wax on the school floors. He said the flames spread quickly when second floor windows were opened by panicstricken youngsters seeking an escape route and sucked the smoke and flames up through the stairwell to the upper floor. He said the fire could have been smoldering for some time in tightly packed papers under the stairwell before it broke out. The building had only one outside fire escape. Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, is on land which an Englishman named Sir Arthur Chichester offered to sell for five pounds in 1603. There were no takers. Trade In a good town — Decatur.

This week a junketing delegation of 21 Red movie moguls (and two actresses) visited Hollywood to get the lay of glamourland. But they were more interested in Disneyland than movieland. Still, they agreed to a press conference — ostensibly to exchange information about Russian and Hollywood films. But first they had to hold a private conclave to determine what press corps cooled its heels while they’d talk about. ( Hollywood’s the Russians yakked it over. Occasionally a Russian head poked out of the door, shouted something in Russian and retreated. Finally the press was ushered into a room thick with smoke (from American-made cigarettes) where reporters were greeted with owlish suspicion. Seated around a giant oval table, the visitors looked more like a bunch of farm-machinery salesmen than bigshot movie-makers. Sets Off Explosive Babble A travel-bureau translator explained we could ask any questions we desired, and that they would answer as best they were able. First question: “Why are you in Hollywood?” This set off an explosive babble during which every Russian discussed the knotty query with his neighbor. Finally, director Sergi lutkevich (who proved most talkative) answered solemnly, “We are tourists.” His fellow-travelers nodded approval, though none spoke English. Next they were asked who was the favorite American performer in Russia. It was a bombshell. They shouted 21 different names, which shrank .to only two within a few minutes. Spokesman lutkevich made it clear that HenryFonda, indeed, was the Russian favorite. But one of the actresses, an elderly Bette Davis type, held out for Katharine Hepburn until one of her associates convinced her she meant Audrey Hepburn. Once this was settled. lutkevich said, “Henry Fonda and Audrey Hepburn,” which cheered the actress considerably. “What percentage of the 1201 films you produce yearly have a political theme?” was the next question. Lordy, you’d have thought they’d been asked for the Russian H-bomb secrets. Russians Lose Interest Half the Russians left their zhairs to discuss this one. The translator looked pained and resentful. Again, lutkevich came to the rescue. “Every picture made in every’ country has some political theme. It is a matter of degree,” he said, in the Russian equivalent to "no comment.” Obviously by now the Russians had lost interest in the conference. They began talking to one another in loud voices, paying not the slightest heed to further question

Recommend State Commission Ended Proposes Census Os Handicapped In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission will hear a recommendation today for abolition of a state commission—by the members of the organization slated for extinction. One of the principal matters to be considered by the interim body of lawmakers is a report from the Governor’s Commission on Physically Handicapped Chidlren. The recommendations are to be outlined by Robert Yoho, Indianapolis, a member, speaking in behalf of chairman Dr. Neal Baxter, Bloomington. Yoho said the legislation to be recommended by the commission, first created by ex-Gov. Henry Schricker, urges that this commission be abolished and that a Council of Rehabilitation be established under the aegis of the Indiana State Board of Health. "Die bill proposes a census of all handicapped and their handicaps, and establishment of a state advisory council which would guide and direct the rehabilitation programs now being carried on by about 70 agencies operating on a state-wide basis. An appropriation of $25,000 a year was asked to carry out the provisions of the bill. “A great deal has been done and written on specific activities of rehabilitation,” Yoho said. "There has been much said on how to straighten an arm, how to walk again. But very little has been done on the administration and planning of rehabilitation programs. "We feel this expenditure of money actually will represent a savings by getting more effective use of rehabilitation services already existing. "We are not proposing the creation of a new commission. The bill would do away with the Commission on Physically Handicapped Children and place responsibility for giving gudance and direction in all rehablitation work n an already functoning crffcal agency—the State Board of Health.” Business-owned aircraft flew 4, 900,000 hours last year, against 3, 600,000 for commercial planes, ac- ; cording to the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
