Three soldiers who were criti cally burned while fighting the flames which destroyed or dam aged more than 30 buildings at the army camp died In a hospital last night. They were injured at the height of the fire, part of a widespread brush fire which swept over a 20-mile-square area south of here. Tuesday. More than a score of persons were Injured. FIRE DESTROYS SHED A woodshed on thp proDertv of T. F. Moonev. 1615 W. Fifth pttreet, was slightly damaged by 'Ire this morning. Hot ashes which had been emptied were blamed for the fire by firemen who answered a general alarm at 10:27 o.m. Cleared attached. He indicated that the light-weight equipment might encounter difficulty in some drifts, but that he felt most of the walks and paths could be cleared satisfactorily. Decision by the commission to resume sidewalk clearing follow ed a vigorous portest made by Mrs. Tom Daly, 225 Newport. Noting that the commission had abandoned -sidewalk clearing be cause a few sprinkler heads had been ripped up by the tractor, she declared that thousands of other Bend residents who do not have automatic sprinkler systems have been penalized because of a few persons. Up to Department Mayor T. D. Sexton insisted that any sidewalk clearing pro gram should include the entire city, and not just a few easily reached areas. Drost pointed out that it is impractical to operate where rocks threaten damage to equipment, but that he felt most sections could be given adequate arteries for pedestrian traffic. As finally approved, the street department was given discretion in areas jo be cleared. Drost sug- ed to clear their own walks, and thus avoid any possible damage. E. O. Stadter, acting city attorney during the absence in California of Ross Farnham, said that the city property line extends one foot inside most sidewalk lines in Bend. Thus if sprinkler heads have been put in this area, it Is tantamount to encroachment, he declared.

Malik spoke four separate times in the meeting before he made his departure the sixth soviet UN walkout in the last week. Malik's walkout came as a re sult of Russia' refusal to parti cipate in any UN meetings while the delegation of nationalist China Is accepted here.

Not Recognized "I moved the removal of the Kuomintang representative," Ma lik said, "but my motion was not recognized." He was asked whether tV Kremlin planned to carry their UN boycott to the general assem bly, perhaps refusing to parti cipate in "the town meeting of the world" while Chiang Kai shek's government Is represented.

Robert Khubert (United Pmu Staff CurrutH,ndent ) Pittsburgh, aJn. 19 mi Plans of a number of major soft coal operators to withhold royalty payments to the United Mine Workers welfare fund raised new doubts today that John L. Lewis can stop "wildcat" walkouts of more than 88,500 miners. Lewis' lieutenants were in the coal fields with a back-to-work order, but they admitted they didn't know "what will happen." Adding to the anger of the min ers was the government's peti tion for ' an Injunction against Lewis and the union. New violence broke out. Two power-shovels of a strip mining company near Unlontown, Pa., were wrecked by an 'enormous" dynamite explosion early today. The blast shook a 15-mile area. The mine had been picketed yes terday. Operators Adamant An operators source said that many northern and western oper ators, perhaps a majority, will refuse to make their monthly payment to the welfare fund, due tomorrow, because Lewis had re fused to seat their representative and tormed a new board of trus tees. , All mines were closed today be cause of the UMW-imposed three- day week.

After the Blizzard Unusual Lights In Eastern Sky Provide Mystery Fingers of light In the eastern sky, with some of the eerie beams reaching well Into the southeast, led Bend residents last night to believe that thev were viewing a displaced aurora. The rays were described as reaching from the norlzon toward the zen ith, and were at their maximum brilliance about 7 p.m. It was first believed by west- side residents that the beams were originating downtown, but calls from rural areas disclosed that the rays apparently had their origin far distant from Bend. One of the observers was George Mur phy, who lives south of town. Possibility that Bend residents were viewing southern lights, in stead of the aurora borealis was considered, but local amateur as tronomers indicated that at this latitude this would be Impossible. The light rays, described a pale blue and about 15 degrees in length, disappeared shortly after 7 p.m , when a low overcast spread over town. .

Portland'was asked to recheck the Bend lorecast, -and word came' back Jhatfrhe 10 above prediction for Bend would not be changed. The lorecast, it was pre sumed here, was partly based on readings from the nearby Red mond station, still under a chilling mass of arctic air at noon. Forecasts for the region Indi cated that tlie warm front from the south would gradually prevail over the stubborn boreal mass of cold air and that weather over the entire northwest would moderate. Much of northern Oregon today noon was still experiencing bitter ly cold weather, with Portland weathered in sleet.
