Father Only Survivor Of Family Tragedy
Officials my Blaze Fag When Y Threw Gasoline on Coals of Heating Stove
The only survivor of a Thanksgiving morning fire which wiped out a family of four was still in a state of semi-consciousness here today, as relatives planned rites for his wife and three tiny children. Hi sroyed is og Pardue, 26, was badly Burtied in the fire cabin home near Marshall, Ind. , yesterday and took the lives of Mrs. Putliue Pardue, his 19-year-old wife. George Pardue Jr. 4. Pauline Patricia Pardue, 2%. Penny Sue Pardue, 4 months. The grief-stricken father was . brought to the home of his brother, Everitt Pardue, 306 Beecher St. here. His relatives today said he was “dazed” by shock and from burns received in the blaze which followed a stove explosion. In Parke County, officials who investigated the blaze said it apparently was caused when the young mdther threw gasoline on the coals of a heating stove as she prepared to heat a bottle of milk for the 4-month-old infant. The infant was sleeping on a chair between the bed, where the father was sleeping, and the stove. + The other two: children were in a bed near the stove. As the gasoline exploded, flames spread over the two-room cabin. Mrs. Pardue’'s body was found about two feet from the front, door, indicating she tried to run from the blast. Tried to Reach Children The father, who apparently was saved by the bed clothing covering his body, awakened to find the cabin in flames. He said he tried to reach his children but flames forced him back. He dived out a window and ran a quarter mile to the nearest neighbor, William Milan, Members of the Marshall volunteer fire department hurried to the cabin, located in a wooded area almost a mile north of Turkey Run State Park. Fire already had consumed most of the structure but they poured water on the embers to hurry the removal of the bodies. Firemen and neighbors also extinguished’ brush fires, threatening the adjoining wooded section. Formerly Lived Here The Pardue family moved to the cabin from Indianapolis two years ago. Mr. Pardue was employed by Tom Henley, a farmer near Marshall. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Pardue is survived by her father, Harris Hendrickson, and a sister, both of Indianapolis and a broth-

Brains, Brawn in Lilienthal Successor
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25
today for someone with brains and brawn to run the Atomic Energy Commission. Administration officials. said they regard the AEC chairmanship as the “toughest job we have to fil.”
They said that right now they have no idea just who will replace David Lilienthal when he leaves the post Dec. 31. They said that Mr, Lilienthal's successor must be a man of superb administrative ability who is strong enough physically to stand the tremendous pace of the job, Leaving for Florida It was understood that Mr. Truman will wrestle with the problem during his coming threeweeks vacation at Key West, Fla. The president leaves for Florida Monday. Mr. Lilienthal, a storm center since he took over the commission, announced his resignation Wednesday. He said he was quitting government service for financial and health reasons and because he wanted “to engage in public discussion and public affairs with greater latitude.” Policy Likely to Remain
It was considered likely that Mr. Truman would offer the post
