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.
The fires were 30 mile9
north of downtown Los Ange
les. Fighters Hurt
Six fire fighters suffered
minor injuries such as sprain
ed ankles and slight burns but
no serious cases were re
ported. Perimeters of the two fires
- one In the Newhail-Placer-ita
Canyon area and the other
in the Castaic-Hasley Canyon
area - were only four miles
apart but there seemed no im
mediate danger of a junction.
A county fire department
spokesman pointed out that
the blazes were separated by
U.S. 99, a four-lane highway,
and added, "Unless things
really go bad. I don't think
there's a possibility of the
fires joining."
The perimeter of the New
hall fire was about 27 miles
and the Castaic blaze encom
passed a 25 miles perimeter.
Bulldozers and men using
shovels and sacks were con
centraled on the southern
edge of the Castaic blaze and
ijet up fire breaks which avert
ed a threat to suburban Chats
worth. Hottest "spot" in Ihe blaze
during the night was at the
east end of the Newhall blaze
f In and around Los Pinetoi
Peak.'
Soviets Propose
Cut-Off Deadline
For Nuclear Tests ;
Geneva - IUPD - The Soviet
Union said today it is willing
to accept Jan. 1 as a cut-off
dale for all nuclear tests pend
ing agreement on a foolproof
nuclear test ban treaty. West
ern sources said the plan was
unacceptable.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
ister Vassili Kuznotsov appar
ently made a slip of the
tongue when he first told tho
17-natlon Disarmament Con
ference that Russia would ac
cept Nov. 1 as a cut-off date.
He told newsmen after the
7fith plenary session that he
hod not used the word Novem
ber. He said he had been re
ferring to an earlier Mexican
proposal that Jan. 1 be set a.i
a cut-off date.
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.
While admiltiiig that Kui
nctsov's tongue may have
slipped, Western sources not
ed that the current series of
Soviet nuclear tests end
