No damage was done but sev eral homes were threatened for a time, he said. The cold has frozen and dried the grass so that it burns easily, Miller said. A few minutes earlier, fire men had gone to the C. Harms residence, -3ti Glenwood St., when a blazr btarted in a pump house and garage. Harms was trying to thaw out a frozen pump when 'the blaze started, Chief Miller said. Damage was lim ited mainly to a scorched Inte rior of the building, he said.

Sa n dys A r rives for Washington Talks No Aid Sought, Says British Minister i NEW YORK (UP) British Defense Minister Duncan Sandys said today he is going to Wash ington to obtain closer Anglo American cooperation and not lo ask for aid. Sandys, armed with some of the most sweeping powers ever held by a British defense minister, UN Diplomats Maneuver on Middle East Debate Starts Monday On Israel Delay. In Moving Out By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS tn V N. diplomats moved today into a weekend of intense behind-the-scenes maneuvers in preparation for a crucial debate on the explo sive Middle East dispute. The debate is to start Monday in the sanation General Assem bly. The key point will be Sec retary General Dag Hammar skjold's 3,500-word report on Is rael's delay in pulling her inva sion forces bjck of the 1949 Pales tine armistice line. Israeli sources said Hammar skjold's report was not clear enough and declared it gave a legal approach to a political prob lem. Hammarskjold informed the As sembly yesterday Israel has not fully complied with five resolu tions calling for withdrawal of its forces. He added that numerous poitical and. legal barriers pre vent the U. N. from accepting Israel's conditions for a complete pull back. Israel still holds two areas seized in the October-November invasion, the Gaza Strip and the Sharm El Sheikh sector on the Gulf of Aqaba. Israel insists it must have firm guarantees that its interests will be protected be fore quitting those areas. Sharm El Sheikh guards the Gulf of Aqaba. Israel's link with the Red Sea. Prior to the recent invasion, Egyptian guns had kept Israeli shipping out of the area. The Gaza Strip on the Mediter ranean was controlled by Egypt after the 1948 Palestine War. Is rael repeatedly has charged it was used as a base for Arab commando raids into Israeli ter ritory. ' Israel was said to feel that Hammarskjold's report, harks back to the 1949 armistice, which Israel considers a failure and no solution to the problem. The Israelis also were said to feel that the right of navigation in the Gulf of Aqaba is not an armistic question, but one of pre venting belligerency. MacARTHIR NOTES BiKTIIDAV NEW YORK if Gen.

But Sandys de nied he was seeking guided mis siles from America to offset his country's defense cuts. The cuts and his talks here are separate things, he said. "I am not coming with any requests at all," Sandys said when he reached .International Airport in New York. "ThOi main purpose Is to have a frank, thorough and informal ex change of views on the military situations and to. . .compare American and British strategic thinking. We should also explore the possibility of extending still further the excellent arrange ments for collaboration which al ready exist in the scientiiic and technical military fields " Atom Expert Here Britain's atomic weapons ex pert Sir William Penney is in the United States and could easily be called into the Washington talks if necessary, Sansys said.

Forecasters Say No Relief in Prospect With 10 Seen for Tonight, Pipes Bursted By MARIAN LOWRY FISCHER Capital Journal Writer Numbing and bone-chilling cold tightened its grip on Salem and valley area. Saturday, along with most of the rest of Oregon, and thermometers will continue to drop tonight to new low seasonal marks. At Salem the minimum this morning was recorded at 14. the lowest temperature here since No vember, 1955, when the mercury .slithered down to 9. Little relief looms for a tew days, in fact, con ditions will be worse this week end. 10 Tonight A low of around 10 is booked In the capital for tonight. Over a peri od of years Salem has had below zero weather, the all-time low here being the 10 below zero minimum recorded one morning in January of 1950.

Bursting water pipes were ma jor immediate damages from the intense cold in the city, damage to shrubs, orchards, etc., to be reck oned later. About the busiest group of people In Salem these days are the plumbers but fuel oil dealers arc nearly as busy, the bitter cold causing furnaces to gobble up the oil in fast time. Many home owners reported some trouble with frozen pipes and bursting ones, and downtown the Marion hotel reported a frozen pipe in the basement early this morning, water shooting over quite an area, but the situation there was caught early enough to keep damage at minimum, Biting Wind Adding to the cold conditions was the biting, knifing north wind that was holding around 10 to 14 miles per hour velocity here Sat urday morning. Portland and Eugene were cold er than the Salem area. Eugene listed 8 above for its minimum this morning and Portland recorded 9. Portland's outlook tonight is for a zero reading. And to make you feel really cold, it was 41 below zero at Seneca in Grant county this morning! Bend reported 23 degrees below zero, Pendleton IS below. Burns 13 be low. Baker, IB below. Providing insult to Injury for the Northwest area is the ironic announcement that temperatures in Alaska are relatively mild. Bright blue skies and brilliant sunshine are beautiful sights for daytime, but no comfort for the intensely cold nights, the clearing skies bringing the colder marks on the thermometers.
