Firemen Find Office Looted; Awning Plant Damage Put at $13,000.

Burglars were blamed for starting a fire early today in the office of Fred Schuchman’s junk yard at 17th and Mill Sts. The loss was estimated at between $2000 and $2500. While police and firemen investigated this blaze, owners estimated at $13,000 the loss in a spectacular two-alarm fire which swept the two-story plant of the James Montgomery Awning & Supply Co., 2404 E. Washington St., late yesterday. When firemen entered the junk vard office, they found the rear door standing open. Employees said they had locked it with two bolts last night. After extinguishing the flames which they confined to the office and prevented from spreading to warehouses on either side of it, the firemen investigated and found that an adding machine, check writer and typewriter were missing from the office. They were valued at| $150. Firemen believe the blaze was

caused by a cigaret dropped by

the burglars. The awning plant fire was believed to have started when friction ignited chemicals. All materials

and machinery on the second floor|

of the building were destroyed. Howard Bryant, 22, Bridgeport, an employee: told police he was working on the second floor water-

- proofing canvas with some of the 7g

chemicals. “Suddenly they burst into flames,” he said. He was burned on the face. : Battalion Chief Harvey Keppel narrowly escaped injury when the - second floor gave way beneath him. "He grabbed a window sill and hung there, saving himself. - ~ James Montgomery, owner of the awning company, estimated his loss at from $7000 to $8000 and H. G. ‘Reger, owner of the building, put his loss at $6000.

sympathy. He found them a sturdy, hard-working, highly literate, independent and democratic people. Mr. Hindus was born in a village in Russia but was educated in America. Through his travels back to his native» village, noting the changes made in the conditions of the peasants, he has been able to give some idea of the human side of the Red Revolution and evaluate it. Wrote Book on Czechs Among his books are “Broken

" “The Indianapolis Open Forum is lucky, indeed, to get Mr. Hindus just a few ‘days after his return from Europe, especially since the Open Forum was notified at the very last minute that Pierre Van Paasen, originally scheduled, was physically unable to travel because of illness resulting frem his service as a war correspondent,” Mrs. J.
