Fighters Stop Spread of Fires In Settled Area Buildings on Autry Ranch Destroyed Los Angeles - H'TO - About 1,300 fire fighters, assisted by bulldozers and borate bomb ers, fought a massive holding action today against two giant brush blazes and prevented them from joining and spread ing lo more inhabited areas. The two blazes, which start ed Tuesday afternoon almost simultaneously, charred mora than 16,500 acres by 9 a.m. (PDT) today, destroying a $100,000 clinical building at Olive View sanitorium and some 30 ranch buildings in cluding most of cowboy singer Gene Autry s famed Melody Ranch, scene of many movie Rnd television films.

But Russian-speaking mem bers of Western delegations said they distinctly heard the words "around November first," and the official United Nations translators also in terpreted Kuznetsov's words that way.
