7 Firemen Hurt In $1 Million

‘Cincinnati Blaze

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 30 (UP) —Firemen poured water into the smouldering ruins of the Cincinnati Sash and Door Co. today to prevent further spread of a $1 million blaze described as ‘‘the worst” here since the fires of the 1937 flood. Seven firemen, including Chief Barney Houston, were injured battling the flames which raged out of control and threatened other buildings in the industrial west end last night. Their efforts

were hampered by 17-degree weather. It was the fifth extra-alarm

fire here in four days. ® Four of the five fires destroyed industrial plants and investigators were seeking to determine their cause. The three-unit sash and door (firm contained about $500,000 worth of stock. Several railroad cars on a nearby siding, one con{taining gasoline, were threatened.

Human-Type Animals Get Pet Down

By HEZE CLARK ORKY" the lonesomest raccoon in the world, languished in the Indianapolis dog pound today, saddened and perplexed by the complex reactions of humans. “Corky” looked in his new master, James Kile, 32, | of Trenton, N. J. But .it will be some time before there will he |! a happy reunion. | Seems Mr. Kile got all fouled | up in Indiana law when he

vain

stopped here overnight while en route from Sandoval, Ill, to his New Jersev home. He bought “Corky” over in

Illinois from a man who had trained him as a pet. Then he bought a 1948 Dodge and applied for Illinois license plates, which had not yet been celivered before he started his homeward trek.

Here in Indianapolis this morning, his car, containing | “Corky,” was hauled in for

overtime parking. “Corky” was

transferred to the dog pound

for temporary quarters. Mr. Kile agreed to pay the $2 overtime parking charge, but the police would not him have his car license plates. So he said he would buy Indiana plates. But ‘oh ne,” said Hoosier officials, “you have your receipted tax bill before yqu can get a license here.” And it seems, the Illinois title to the car had no standing here.

So Mr. Kile is going to his Trenton home, get the title | properly registered there, ob-

tain New Jersey license plates return to Indianapolis to reclaim his car and his car and “Corky.
