Nixon also said he was con vinced the President's recovery is "sure" and may even be speed ier than normally is the case with a cerebral ailment. None theless Nixon is planning to handle some of the President's chores during the convalescence. Nixon said he will preside next week at sessions of the cab inet and National Security coun cil, on oral instructions from the President, and may also direct a meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday if it is held as scheduled.

Captain James Culhane, veteran fireman with 42-years active service, was killed in a Thanksgiving Eve six-alarm blaze when buried un der the seared blocks of a col lapsing wall. Six other firemen were injur ed in the fire which caused dam age estimated up to S50,000 to a building housing offices, a ware house and an American Legion post. Culhane, 72, was due to retire at the end of the year. ' A policeman, directing traffic near the scene of the fire, was struck by a car and rushed to Pittsburgh Hospital, adding to the casualty toll. Four of the six injured firemen also were taken to the hospital. State of Emergency At the height of the Home wood area blaze, police declared a state of emergency when it was feared that firemen had been trapped inside the flame swept structure. All available ambulances in the city were call ed to the scene. The report, for tunately, proved to be false. Police and firemen, including Fire Chief Stephen Adley and Police Superintendent James Slusser, worked to free Culhane from the collapsed wall of Bel gian blocks. The rescuers con tinued their efforts to save the veteran fire-fighter as a fire es cape on the building threatened to topple on them. It took about one-and-one-half hours to retrieve Culhane's body. Shortly thereafter, the fire es cape collapsed. Said Adley, when he learned of Culhane's death: "I'm sick . . . he was a fine old firefighter, a real tough and fine Irishman." The blaze was the third multi ple alarm fire to hit Pittsburgh this week. Pressure Sought to Conserve Salmon Seattle HP) A spokesman for a fishing vessel owners' as sociation said Wednesday it was "time to take off the kid gloves and start slugging" in dealing with Japan over the North Pa cific salmon fishery. Harold Lokken, of Seattle, told a Senate subcommittee on fish eries that "pressure from all points" should be brought to force the Japanese fishing in dustry to conserve salmon spawn in North American waters. Lokken told Chairman War ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), of the Senate Interstate and For eign committee, the only mem ber attending the hearing, that pressure should be brought on the State Department to discuss the problem with Japanese of ficials. If that method failed, he added then an embargo on all types of Japanese canned salmon should be enforced. Reporter Admits Transcript Changes Los Angeles OP) Convict author Caryl Chessman got an admission Friday from a former court reporter that some chang es had been made in the final version of his trial transcript. Chessman acted in his own de fense in a superior court hearing ordered after he charged that the transcript of his 1948 trial con tained inaccuracies. Sanley Fraser, 63, who trans cribed shorthand notes of court reporter Ernest Perry who died at the conclusion of Chessman's trial, admitted the changes.
