Eleven die in blaze

NEW YORK (UPI)—Nine children and two adults died early today in a fire that swept a tiny gray stucco house where four families lived. Fire officials said a false alarm delayed some units. The fire department said the false alarm drew firemen from the nearest station to a building seven blocks from the blaze that engulfed the two-story house in the St. Albans section of Queens. Police said a suspect in the false alarm had been arrested. One ladder company saw the flames on the way back from the false alarm and stopped. Fire Lt. Lawrence Trotta was one of the first on the scene. “We looked down the block and saw this massive flame,” he said. “We went down and saw two men jumping from the

second floor. We tried to break into the building but the heat and flames forced us back.” The flames left black scorch stains that curled along the side of the 20 by 40 foot dwelling that a city official said had been zoned for only one family. He said there would be an investigation into why at least 16 persons were living there. Five persons were taken to nearby Mary Immaculate Hospital. They were treated and released. It took firemen 30 minutes to get the flames under control. They found four bodies in the attic and seven bodies on the second floor. Most of the children were huddled near the windows. They were apparently overcome by the smoke and intense heat.

Mr. and Mrs. Jewell Page entertained with a birthday dinner Sunday in honor of their grandchildren, Dennis and Cindia Robbins. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. William M.

Thieu replied, but sources in Saigon indicated South Vietnam’s leader was not so confident. Vows No Sellout He left for the Honolulu summit by vowing he would “never surrender to the Communists’’ or “sell out” his nation in his talks with Johnson. He appeared worried Johnson will stray from the Saigon government’s belief that the only way to handle the Communists is to trounce them in battle, sources said. As the two leaders and their senior advisers began their summit conference in military headquarters overlooking the Pacific, they were beset by rumors from all sides of the world.
