Screaming children were thrown to safety by their parents from the windows of the burning building. At least four other persons were injured and rushed to Michael Reese Hospital, where they were reported in fair to satisfactory condition. “I was woke up by the screaming,” said Mrs. Mary Williamson, who lives down the street from the three-story building. “There was a whole lot of screaming and people in the streets.’’ Fire broke out in the building between 11:30 p.m., and midnight Thursday. “A lot of kids were being

by LYLE WILSON The soft boiled Republicans continue in their teary protests that the party’s conservative elements refuse to stay dead. The most convulsive soft boiled sobs lament that the conservatives are developing an urgently manly zest for another presidential ticket with a conservative Republican at the top. This is not playing the game as the soft boiled partymen understand g a m e m a nship. Their approach is to speak softly and carry no stick at all in their friendly litUe pattycakes with the Democrats. The soft boiled argument is that the conservatives just missed wrecking the Republican party in 1964 and, therefore, that any challenge to the credit card Great Society should be up to them. Them being the part time Republican New Dealers, Fair Dealers and New Frontiersmen who bolted the conservative Republican ticket in 1964 or who sat motionless through the campaign, saying and doing nothing. The answer of the conservatives to such as these is, substantially: NUTS! In more elegant language, the answer is that If conservatives wrecked the Republican party in 1964, more than 26 million Republicans were in the wrecking crew. Further, they would have it known that those 26 million citizens intend to be around for some time to vote for conservative presidential nominees. These conservatives are all set also to focus the blast of their displeasure on any soft boiled part time New Dealer who manages by hocus pocus to flinch the Republican presidential nomination. The undistinguished leadership of soft boiled Republicans led the party to political disaster in the presidential campaigns of 1940, 1944, and 1948. The Republican party won

bumptious clamor for control of the party machinery. Barry M. Goldwater had dropped th e boom on two idols of the soft boiled host. They are Gov. George Romney of Michigan and Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York City. Neither would be accepted to Goldwater on the 1968 presidential ticket which means that neither is likely to be on It Goldwater wasted a perfectly good boom on Mayor Lindsay. Lindsay belongs to the Ivy League charm school of Politics, a natural ally of New York left wingers. The mayor has not much more claim to a Republican tag than had Gen. Robert E. Lee’s horse. Lindsay would look good and draw well in Ttecond place on the 1968 Democratic presidential ticket with Lyndon B. Johnson if LBJ should decide that Hubert H. Humphrey’s drooping political prestige finally had collapsed altogether. Romney is one of the uncommonly able men in public life. But he bolted Goldwater in 1964 and he is not likely to be forgiven. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Gov. William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania, both more coddled than soft boiled, have taken themselves out of competition for the 1968 Republican presidential nomination. This no doubt, is j u s t as well because Republican conservatives would not swallow either of them. The Republican party should be in the market for fussy leadership and management No less will enable the multimillions of conservative citizens now or ever to vote Santa Claus out of Congress and out of the White House.

The vote came after a week of bitter internal struggling over the issue of disciplining Powell for what a majority of the 31 committee members regarded as abusive use of a chairman’s traditional powers. The committee adopted a new set of rules which would remove from Powell the power to delay action on bills approved by the committee; to hire and fire committee staff members at will, and to dispense committee funds.
