One fire laid waste to a 9-mile stretch of Topanga Canyon, de stroying 80 homes in a terrifying surge to the sea. The other raced through the Hollywood hills to the outskirts ' of the rich residential community of Beverly Hills. Both fires are believed to have been touched off by a firebug. The leaping flames, flying em bers and blinding smoke provided nightmarish background to New Year's Eve celebrations in homes close to the fire front. Christmas lights still gleamed from expen sive homes from which the occu pants had fled. City and county fire officials rushed nearly 2.000 men to the blazing areas, about 12 miles apart.

Too much wind, too low humidity, too much fire. The Topanga Canyon blaze was the first to break out, flaring up Wednesday morning in the home studded canyon running from the ban Fernando Valley to the ocean, about 20 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Urged on by strong, dry winds from the desert the flames raced at incredible speed. Residents barely had time to throw a few belongings in their cars and join the confused, jumbled stream f evacuees.

Just a few miles further on lie the charred acres and blackened ruins left from the fire that roared through the Malibu Hills. A hundred families living in homes stretched along the bottom of San Ysidro Canyon on the north ern edge of the city were ordered to be prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice as the fire edged within a half-mile. Firemen concentrated on savinc homes, rather than trying to stop the fire in its drive through the dry brush.

A French - language broadcast enlitled "Soviet Science in 19!M" said the new year "will see still greater development in the field of interplanetary rockets and Sput niks. "Here progress of technology and automation will without doubt make it possible to send an inter planetary rocket around the moon in 1S59. the broadcast said. By using the word "possible." Mos cow avoided saying flatly that the Kussians would try. The 1'. S. Air Force has made throe unsuccesslul attempts to send rockets around the moon The IT. S. Army failed four weeks iico to hit the moon. A second Army attempt is expected within tln next few months. Ever since the Russians sent up their first Sputnik 15 months ago. the West has been expecting a Red attempt to shoot the moon. Completely unconfirmed reports have circulated that the Soviet Un ion has tried and failed at least once. The broadcast noted that Soviet scientists are concentrating on the problem of nuclear reactors. It declared: The prospects of conquering these sources of con centrated power are closely linked with the prohlem of penetrating into cosmic space. Soviet scien tists haVc been working for a long time on the problem of efficient use of atomic engines for civil avi ation and the results already ob tained make it possible to state that IDS!) will see the first trials in this field." The specification of civil as dis tinct from military aviation could have two causes. One would be the usual Soviet propaganda ap proach that its inventions are for peace. The other reason might be that the Russians already have a nuclear-powered warplane. On Nov. 31 the American maga zine Aviation Week reported the Russians had completed a nuclear powered . bomber six months be fore and it had been flying in the Moscow area for two months Secretary of Defense McElrov said in Washington at that time that he doubted the Russians had TRAIN WRECK TURIN, Italy (AP)-A two-car express passenger tram rammed into several freight cars today and derailed.
