Five Are Killed In Rhode Island Fire PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPD — Five persons including a mother and child perished today in an apartment house flash fire. Three persons were injured critically. Three of the dead were identified as Mrs. Virginia Davis, 38, her 8-year-old daughter, Mildred, and Linwood M. Smith, 49. The other two bodies were those of men. They were not identified immediately. The fire was the second mul-tiple-death blaze in New England in four days. Nine persons including six children died in a house fire Sunday at Buckland, Mass. Mrs. Davis’ husband, Frank, 41, another daughter Winifred, 11, and Alexander Lazdins, 68, were seriously hurt. They were taken to Rhode Island Hospital. Doctors said Lazdins suffered a heart attack as well as burns. Winifred Davis, trapped at a second story window, screamed. “Help, Help.” A fireman climbed a ladder to save her. The hysterical child cried “Get my daddy and get my mother.” But her mother was dead. Firemen hosed water on other firemen to protect them from the intense heat as they carried or escorted occupants to the street in cold temperatures. The Davis family lived on the top floor of the 2%-story wooden structure. Skid-Proof Shoes You won’t risk slipping and sliding around in those new shoes if you'll sandpaoer the soles.

Meeting Held Today On Grain Handling Discussion of a new, multi-type purpose building, that can be used to store ear-corn, shelled corn, or even machinery, as a possible improvement over the present type of corn cribs, took place this afternoon at the grain handling meeting at the co-op building in Monroe, extension engineer Bruce McKenzie and county agent Leo Seltenright in charge. The new type building, being tried on the Busche farm in Washinetdn township, is one of a half-dozen : n the state of the clear-soan type, and the first in the state of its particular design. New Type Larger Ordinary corn-cribs are sixeight feet wide. 12-20 feet long, and must be emptied bv manual labor. Thev range in size up to 1,000 or 3.000 *bushel capacities. Today there are about six to ten picker-sheller operators in the county, and manv are thinking in terms of converting to this tvne operation. Present-day corn cribs cannot be used for shelled corn, or for anything else except ear corn. The new-tvpe clear-span corn crib is a low, onen end building, the one on the Busche farm being 26 feet wide and 13 feet high at the edge. It holds 12.000 bushels of ear corn. Buil+ last fall, it is being tried this winter on an '•xperimental basis. Watch Experiment But the experiment bears watching, McKenzie pointed out. First of all, it centers the grainstoring operation, rather than spreading it out in six or eight cribs. Second, it can be used for many different things, from machinery storage to shelled corn, as well as for ear corn. It also provides for a scoop operation from a tractor, manual

supervision rather than actually lifting all the corn. Also, the operation is speeded up terrifically when done by a tractor scoop. Last Too Long The big trouble with farm buildings is that they last too long. McKenzie stated. He explained that technology changes, and while a building was very good when built it may be completely outmoded by a different type of operation in less than a generation. For example, suppose a farmer needs new storage space for corn, say 5,000 bushels. If he builds a, clear-span crib,-he .can use it for ear-corn at present, and then later may want to convert to shelled corn when his present equipment wears out. In the eenter of the building is a drying tunnel. This permits keeping the corn dry without moving it around. Hopes are high for this type storing and farmers are encouraged to watch the experiments, and think in terms of similar changes in the future. Reports Decrease In Radiological Reading The radiological monitoring reading for Adams county for th’s week dropped back to .01 milliroengtens per hour today- This is a decrease of .01 milliroengten over the past tw’o weeks. These readings, while measurable, are are so low that they would have to increase ten thousand tiroes to have any affect on people. To date, there_ hat. been no indication at all that there is anv' Increase during rain or snowfall There was concern in some places, following the last series of Russian i bomb tests, that radioactive fallout might increase to a serious' level. Weekly tests in the county have shown that to date, the amount of radioactivity in the atmosphere has decreased since last summer. j Trade in a good lawn — Decatur

East Germany Charges West Builds Tunnel BERLIN (UPl)—East Germany : today charged the West with j building a tunnel under their antirefugee wall from West to East Berlin. Communist officials took newsmen to the Wollankstrasse railway station on the border of the French sector and showed them , burrows alleged to be part of a “spy tunnel system.” In protests to the French and the West Berlin city government, I East Germany demanded punishment of the West Berlin “bandits” responsible for the tunnel. Communist Deputy F oreign Minister Otto Winzer made a j sharp protest to French Commandant Gen. Jean Lacomme. His note said the tunnel was an “injury to the territorial integrity of the German Democratic Re- ! public and against the search for a solution of international incidents.” The secret passages the Communists displayed today had no connection with a 90-foot tunnel through which 28 East Germans escaped to West Berlin last week. Its location was several miles from Wollankstrasse. The Communists said the tun- ■ nel was built to smuggle spies | into the Eastern zone. Observers said, however, if such a tunnel , was built it was apparently ini tended to help East Germans flee to the West. The West Berlin city government declined to comment on the Communist charge. But a city statement said West Berliners — “under the most difficult circumstances”—were trying to help Eastern residents escape

It said such escape attempts' violated no law and would continue. East German Transport Minister Erwin Kramer told a news conference the tunnel was discovered Saturday before it could be used and before its completion. He said the discovery was made when a section of it collapsed. Secretary Freeman Speaks In Chicago CHICAGO (UPI) — Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman proposed today that some farmers would do better financially by getting into the recreational business. Freeman, addressing a midwestern “grass roots” audience, said recreational areas could be developed in connection with watershed programs that had been designed, in most cases, for flood prevention. The areas would include conversion of Cropland, he I said, and would be both public and private. “In order to do this, we have asked for legislation to include recreation as a purpose in the watershed act and to permit the government to share the cost of land easement and right of way for recreational purposes,” Freeman said.

I Freeman originally prepared a speech proposing “ park belts” I around major cities as another way to reduce cropland and crop surpluses. But in the speech he delivered, he outlined ways to accomplish the same goal through watershed projects. Freeman discussed agricultural problems in general terms and mentioned highlights of the Kennedy farm program. Then he went into the recreational proposal. “Common sense tells us that substantial income opportunities exist for farmers who develop wildlife and recreation as profitable alternative uses for some land now in crop production,” Freeman said.
