Blame for Fire
f -' i v ' " ' ' . ' ' '
' ;A cigarette, tossed carelessly
from a passing automobile was
blamed today for, a fire which
licked through more than an acre
of young pines on the Brooks-
Scanlon, Inc., tree farm south of
Bend late yesterday anernoon.
Only quick work by volunteers
and fire fighters from the Bend
district of the Deschutes nation
al forest prevented the blaze from
spreading to a forest service
plantation southeast of the
Brooks-Scanlon farm, according
to Gall C. Baker, fire assistant
for the Deschutes national for
est. The tree farm is located about
six miles south of Bend along
highway 97.
Seen by Lookout
The blaze was first sighted by
the fire lookout atop Lava butte
and a 10-man crew under Ken
neth Clark, district assistant, was
dispatched immediately to the
scene. In the meantime, two passers-by,
A. D. Craft and R. E.
Schroeder, members of the local
staff of the bureau of land man
agement, had spotted the fire and
were at work checking the
flames.
The fire fighters were joined
minutes later by two more passers-by,
Charles Overbay and Ray
Ellstrom, both members of the
staff of the Deschutes national
forest, and within a short time
several nieces of heavy fire-fight
ing equipment were on the scene
after being rushed from the for
est service warehouse in Bend.
Baker today credited the quick
work by the volunteers and the
members of Clark's crew with
saving the area from a larger and
more disastrous fire.
The blaze was first sited at 6
p.m. and was not brought under
control for more than an hour,
Raker said. Forest service per
sonnel remained at the scene of
the fire all night to prevent a
possible flare-up. -Baker
said it was obvious that
a motorist's cigarette had caused
theblaze.
The young trees burned In the
fire were between 10 and 15 years
old, he reported.

Court Orders
15 Communist
Leaders Freed
New York. July 12 IP Judge
Learned Hand of the U. S. court
of appeals today ordered 15 in
dicted communist leaders to be
freed on the original bail posted
for them by the clyil rights. con
gress.
The 15 went to jail last night
after Federal judge Sylvester J.
Ryan revoked their ?l7b,uuo ball.
Judge Ryan had held that their
bondsmen were totally unre
sponsible." Judge Hand also paroled In
$10,000 ball each, two trustees of
the bail fund of the civil rights
congress who had been held in
contempt by Judge Ryan and
given six,month jail sentences.
The two trustees, detective
story writer Dashiell . Hammett
and Dr. W. Alphaeus Hunton,
were admitted to bail pending an
appeal .; of .their; contempt cita
tion. ;
". Arreiited June 20
Judge .Hand ruled that, the 15
leaders were to be let .out of jail
on their original bail until the
federal district court inquiry into
affairs of the ball is completed.
Seventeen members of the U.S.
communist - party "second eche
lon" leadership were arrested
June 20 on an Indictment charg
ing conspiracy to teach and ad
vocate the overthrow of the gov
ernment by force and violence.
Judge Ryan sent 15 of them to
jail last night. He revoked the
bail which the civil rights con
gress had posted for 14 and
which Trustee Frederick Vander
bilt Field .had posted personally
for one. He disqualified both the
CRC and Field from further ac
tivity as bond men in his court.
Judge Hand's ruling came
shortly before a senate sub-committee
was scheduled to convene
here to question Field about ac
tivities of the ball fund and the
persons who donated $80,000 to
the fund as ball for four convict
ed communist leaders who on
July 3 skipped, bail and became
fugitives to escape serving prison
terms.
U. S. attorney Irving H. Say
pol argued that Judge Ryan's ac
tion was taken after new evi
dence had been presented con
cerning the' bail fund and Its
trustees. -
The order will free the com
munist leaders at least for one
night. Arguments about the bail
fund will be resumed before
Judge Ryan tomorrow and may
be concluded then. Judge Hand
made it plain he was allowing
the defendants bail only until the
inquiry is concluded.
Field was sentenced to 90 days
for contempt but is free on $10,-
uuu ban pending appeal. -.

Of 'Blackmail'

"$he Chinese communists, giving

that the allied command used
"blackmail tactics" in an attempt
to get correspondents of the free

After alerting listeners to Its
early Friday morning broadcast
to stand by lor the "true ver
sion" of the breakdown, the Chi

quoting communist cease fire ne
gotiators.
Irony Seen
The communists objected to the
presence oi newsmen alone, and
not the regular United Millions

Ironically the red version was
given, over radio Pelplng, from
a dispatch of a correspondent of
tne (jninese communist New Chi

7 Die in Blast
At Allison Jet
Engine Building
By Keith L. Martin
(United Prvea Staff CorreflKnknt)
Indianapolis, Ind., July 12 itB .
A gas explosion and fire wrecked
a closely-guarded jet engine ex
perimental building at a General
Motors Corp. defense plant today
and killed seven of eight mem
bers of a skeleton crew on duty.
Maj. Harold E. Wilber, air
force commanding officer sta
tioned at the 75-acre plarrt, said
the explosion was accidental. The
plant is operated by the Allison
division of GMC. The blast de
stroyed test cells of experiment
al plant No. 3, used to house the
overflow from testing in main
experimental plant No. 2.
Names of .the .dead were with
held until relatives were notified.
Carl Gartner, 33, chief of plant
guards, was burned seriously. He
was taken to a hospital.
Vapor Blamed
Wilber blamed gas vapor ior
the blast. He said there was "pos
itively no sabotage involved."
"It was just an Industrial acci
dent," Wilber said.
The explosion occurred in a test
cell of a windowless. experiment
al building where jet engines are
tested before they are released
to the air force on government
contracts. Fire broke out Imme
diately but was put out within
two hours.
Wilber said 20 test cells were
destroyed by the explosion. Each
was 20 by 50 feet In size with
concrete partitions separating
them. . -
The explosion, heard at least
eight miles away, wrecked the in
terior of the experimental build
ing. It destroyed the partitions
between cells and left only the
12-inch concrete outside walls of
the building standing.
The fire was brought under
control within three hours after
the explosion.

Poster Dulles, the republican
leader who negotiated the
treaty of the United States.
"Never in modern times have
the victors in a great and bit
ter war applied this principle,
"They have, in the name of
peace, imposed discriminations
and humiliations which have bred
new war. The present treaty
would avoid that great error."
Text Made Public
Dulles made public the text of
the Japanese treaty as the United
States and Great Britain wrote it
after consulting their allies.
Enough other western powers
have approved the treaty to make
sure that the pact will be signed
in San Francisco the first week
In September.
Dulles announced that the
treaty will be followed quickly by
two separate arrangements for
mutual defense in the Pacific:
1. A Japanese-American agree
ment that will allow the United
States to station land, sea, and
air iorces in japan, inis arrange
men would be signed immediately
after (he main Japanese peace
treaty is signed,

1 Fourteen hours later, at 1 A.m.
today (11 a.m. Thursday EDT) no,
reply had been received, and red
radios had failed even to mention
the matter. -
The correspondents were" alert
ed late last night to be ready- to
go to Kaesong today. However, so
far as is known, no assurances
have been received from the reds
that they will be admitted. Nor is
there any definite Indication that
the cease fire negotiations will be
resumed today.
Now Up' to Reds
As of this morning it appeared
nothing further could happen un
til the reds replied to Joy
It was hoped the breakdown
was only temporary. But the ne
gotiations already had been sus
pended -.for one full day; while
soldiers died on. -the fighting line,
and quick red action was neces
sary- to- permit a resumption to'
day,
This was the first test of red
good faith and the first direct op
portunity to find out if the com
munists really want a cease fire--
not a sham conference which
might cover a gigantic double
cross.
The reds stopped a truck con
voy containing 20 newsmen, along
with other UN personnel, nine
miles south of Kaesong. The
trucks turned back. When It be
came evident the reds did not in
tend to admit the correspondents,
Joy sent his ultimatum.
It was believed Joy acted on In
structions from Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway, supreme UN - com
mander. And it was assumed Ridgway
may have had direct orders from
Washington and the UN regard
ing the allied attitude.
Indicating the importance he
attached to the free press issue,
Ridgway had waited alongside the
road when the allied convoy start
ed for Kaesong to wish the cor
respondents good luck.
Now he and his command await
ed the red reply which was the
next step.

its physical aspect is concerned.

ed to go to Kaesong.
The halt in negotiations came
after nine hours of talks Tuesday
arW Wednesday which seemed, ac
cording to UN authorities, to
bring the prospect of an armistice
much closer.
UN supreme commander Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway had Inform
ed the reds in a formal statement
delivered by Joy to North Korean
Gen. Nam II at the Wednesday
meeting that as of Thursday the
western press would be consider

for Seoul.
The breakdown In the talks oc
curred while reports from the Ko

of a huge buildup of red forces
