Councilmen Study Park Road Repair By HALF. BCARItKOUUII Something should ba done this summer to fix up Moore Park ruada, member ol the City Council seemed agreed last night, but whether It can be done legally Is another matter. In the current budget, no money Is specifically earmarked lor road Irnpiuvemeiil or repair In city parka.

The chief executive, who plans to file for reelection some tlmo this week, said he will campaign for Eisenhower as he conducts his own bid for another term as gov ernor. Commenting on possible damage caused by the Taft-Elsenhower split, Langlie predicted that the number of Taft men who will leave the Republican party because of Elsenhower'a nomination will be more than offset by the number of Independents and Democrats who will vote for Uie general. "There would have been certoln people who would have left the party If we had nominated Abra ham Lincoln," the chief executive quipped. "They would have said he was socialistic or something simi lar."

Estes Kefauver, asserted Monday that backers of other Democratic can didates are "ganging up" to stop Kefauver from winning the parly's nomination for president. Sullivan told a news conference his accusation was based on "re ports." He read a long statement which said: "In Chicago next week we want to be free of those fixers and masters of Uie double cross. To them, a sellout of Uie people Is never Important. If there are . any deals to be made, it Uie price is right, they want to make them behind closed doors. They cannot do it out In the open before the eyes 01 Uie nation. " REPORTERS Reporters questioned Sullivan closely for details of Uie alleged deals, and for names. He said, "the statement speaks for itself." He said, however, he does not Include either President One Killed In Fairbanks Fire FAIRBANKS. Alaska Wl Punc tured by explosive bursts of llame, a fire raced through the old Pio neer Hotel here early Monday, leveling the three-story structure 111 two hours and leaving at least one person dead. Police Chief Floyd Clower listed five persons as missing and said eight were hospitalized with burns. Clower said the toll may go higher, as firmcn start probing the ashes of the wooden building Tuesday. He pointed out that only 180 of the 2o0 persons registered at the hotel had reported In to police headquarters 30 hours after the lire had died down, despite urgent radio and newspaper pleas. He expressed Uie possibility, how ever, that many of the more than 50 yet unaccounted for would show up Tuesday. He said some who1 es- capcj we names may aireaay have left the city. Tho one listed victim was identi fied as Bill Vanderpool, an Alaska Freight Lines employe who died In a hospital of burns. Clower said Uie fire apparently started on the second floor stair landing of this city's second larg estand oldest hotel and mush roomed rapidly, roaring up the Under-dry wooden stairs and block ing the third floor exit. . A llcht rain, tlnced wllh an eerie half-light in this land of the mid night sun, kept the flames from spreading to three nearby build ings, although the hotel Itself, was burned to the ground. . 1 FIRE BEATEN PRINEVILLE Wt State forest' crews brought under control Tues day a night-long fire that started at a logging operation nine miles east of Sisters.

Asked If he considered it pos sible that Uie candidates could be unaware of what their supporters are doing, he replied, "it could be." A great many Democrats have arrived in Chicago early to confer, tack up signs, make predictions and generally build up a full head of steam for Uie National Con vention thst opens Monday. This Is a multi-candidate con vention, wide as the great open spaces. QUESTION MARKS Consequently, It Is full of question-marks, hot and cold running rumors, speculation and ballyhoo. The backers of Uie various as pirants and one of Uie candi dates, himself have been dis cussing Uie situation, fore and aft only points of agreement are that: 1 Nobody Is going to be named on the first ballot, or even on an "early" ballot; Some guesses on roll calls ranges up to 10. 2.
