3 elderly men
in nursing
home blaze
COLUMBIA, Miss. (UPI)
Fire destroyed a nursing home
for elderly men early today
and trapped and killed three of
the aged occupants In the old
one-story frame building.
Authorities said three bodies
were found In the charred re
mains of the building that
housed 17 or 18 men.
The occupants who escaped
were either rescued by firemen
or stumbled blindly out of the
building and into the freezing
weather.
Fire Chief Allen Dobson said
the fire broke out at about 5:45
a.m. He said he believed the
fire may have been caused by
a faulty furnace.
The temperature was In the
low 20's when the fire began.
A hard layer of frozen snow
about seven inches deep cov
ered the ground following a vio
lent winter storm that moved
across southeast Mississippi
New Year s Eve.
Marlin Fortenberry. a wit
ness to the fire shortly after it
started, said he went to the
scene and found "old men
standing outside in the snow
without shoes and partially
clothed. None of them were
fully dressed. Smoke was
everywhere," he said.
Clyde Bourne, owner of a lo
cal feed mill, said the building
housing the nursing home was
built In 1840. He said It had
been used as a nursing home
for the last five or six years.
The building was a total loss.
A Negro woman who lived
near the nursing home took in
several of the elderly patients
from the freezing cold.
Strike avoided
in New York
NEW YORK (UPI) Sub
ways and buses rolled as usual
tn the nation's largest city to
day. A dramatic settlement of
the transit contract dispute as
sured the 4 million daily riders
of uninterrupted service for the
next two years.
The Transport Workers Union
(TWU) accepted Wednesday a
85-cent money and fringe bene
fit nackace spread over two
years, averting a strike which
would have paralyzed this city
of 8 million. The Transit Au
thority, which operates the
mass transportation system
here, made the $33,608,000 offer
after the union withdrew its
demand for a four-day, 32-hour
work week.
The settlement, which came
more than four hours after the
TWU's original 5 a.m. strike
deadline, slaved off the first
complete close-down of the subway-bus
system In history.
The TA's offer was made pos
sible by a behind-the-scenes ar
rangement between Mayor Rob
ert F. Wagner and Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller to financially
aid the deficit-ridden TA. Tie
help, valued at $41 million, will
preserve at least for one year
the present 15-cent subway and
bus fare.

Rep. Gross has unkind words for LBJ
WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep.
H. R. Gross, R-Iowa, who has
been a thorn in the side of
other presidents, Is starting off
the new year with some unkind
words about President Johnson.
Gross said in a statement
Wednesday that the new Presi
dent already had shown that he
talks "out ol notn sides ot ms
mouth" and Is "well-schooled in
the art of political expediency."
The Iowa Republican, noted
for his one-man stands against
proposals of the previous ad
ministration, reached the boil
ing point because of Johnson's
role in the foreign aid bill
hassle.
He said that Johnson had dem
onstrated "tough and ruthless
arm-twisting seldom, tf ever,
seen in Congress" to fight a re
striction on credit guarantees
for wheat sales to Russia.
Gross was among backers of
an amendment to prohibit use
of government credit guaran
tees for the commodity sales.

In his attack on Johnson,
Gross noted that the President
had promised in a speech to
Congress on Nov. 27 that he al
ways would respect the inde
pendence and Integrity ot the
legislative branch.
"Yet less thin a month
later," Gross said, "Johnson
completely repudiated this
promise and cracked the lash
over the backs of members of
Congress, forcing them to do
his bidding."
Gross said he and other law
makers argued that if Russia
was permitted to buy on credit,
it would have just that much
more to spend to promote com

Cuba.

Transplanting
of turkeys made
PORTLAND (UPI)-The State
Game Commission reported 12
wild Merriams turkeys have
been transplanted from the
White River game management
area to the Malheur National
Forest in Eastern Oregon.
It was the first transplant
since the turkeys were intro
duced at White River, Troy and
in the Metolius area in 1961.
Bob Mace, chief of the com
mission's upland game bird pro
gram, said the birds were re
leased in the upper Murderers
creek drainage southwest of
John Day.
Mace said more birds will be
introduced as they are cap
tured. The turkeys, extremely wary,
are baited for several weeks
then captured with a device
known as a cannon trap. The
trap operates on explosives
which throws a net through the
air to spread out over a given
area.
Mace said that although some
30 or more birds were in the
trap site when the charge was
set, most were fast enough to
escape before the net settled.

hectic afternoon

the Secret Servicemen guarding
them a hectic afternoon.
Lucy Baines and Lynda Bird
Johnson watched Texas defeat
Navy 28-8. The men who guard
the daughters of the President
didn't get much of a chance to
see the game.
The 19-year-old Lynda Bird
had mixed emotions about the
game. Her fiance, Lt. (J.G.)
Bernard Rosenbach is an An
napolis graduate, but she is a
sophomore at Texas.
However, she joined her
schoolmates In cheering for the
Longhorns. She often jumped
up from her seat on the 35-yard-line
seat and displayed the
"hook 'em horns" hand sign,
much to the discomfort of the
Secret Service men around her.
Each time she jumped up,
they stood up and searched the

Lucy Baines was not so no
