Cleanup Crews
Begin Work In
Burned Building
$100,000 Damage
Estimate May Be
Increased by Ownen
Cleanup workers were iolnc over
the Knight* of Columbus hall and
the C. R. Anthony company store
today In the wake of a fire which
did approximately $100,000 damage
Saturday night.
Damage estimates, Including ap-
proximately goo,000 each to the
building and stock of the Anthony
store, remained the same today,
with the addition of an unknown
figure representing damage to fix-
tures of the department store,
nearly all of which will have either
to be replaced or reflnlshed.
Plre Chief LeRoy Searcy said
firemen learned of the conflagra-
tion when they heard an explosion,
and looked up to see a solid sheet
of flame along windows of the fire
department which faced the west
wall of the burning building.
Searcy said It was believed the
fire started in a trash box near
two gas meters, and that when
solder holding the meters together
was melted, the escaping gas caused
the explosion.
Mostly In Rear End
Heaviest damage was In the rear
of the first floor, but flames shoot-
ing up an sir - conditioning duct
spread the fire In the floors on
both the second and third atoriea,
and Into the roof of the building.
So intense was the heat In the
alley between the burning building
and the fire department, that two
power line poles were Ignited, and
glass was broken and sills scorched
In the fire department Itself.
Telephone wire* to both the fire
department and police station were
put out of commission.
The fire chief said that Chet
Smith, a farmer of near El Reno,
who was attending a square dance
on the third floor, was going down
tlw stairs and was on the second
floor landing when the explosion
occurred.
finding the way suddenly blocked
by smoke, he retreated up the
stairs, and attempting to avoid a
panic, told approximately 100 per
sons assembled there to go to the
east end of the building, that
there was a fire In the alley.
Slagle Pliw fteape
Dance club members thronged to
the windows to escape the smoke,
and one girl dropped from a win-
dow to a narrow ltdge running
above the second story windows
In an attempt to make her way to
the Anthony store’s electric sign.
A single fire escape, on the north
side of the building, me not ade-
quate. fire Chief Setrcy said to-
day. and only 10 or 12 persons
made their escape by that route.
A drop of about eight feet at the
end of the fire escape also slowed
descent.
Remainder of those Inside the
building were removed by use of
the fire department's aerial ladder
truck, and four ladders propped
against second story windows, to
which they made their way by a
trapdoor opening from the third
floor.
Rebuilding Set Soon
Ray Maher, president of the
Knights of Columbus Home asso-
ciation, owners of the building, said
work to renovate the building. In-
cluding the Anthony store, would
probably get underway as soon as
arrangements could be made with
insurance underwriters.
A meeting of the ICC Home asso-
ciation Is scheduled for tonight to
discuss the fire.
It was reported today that C. R.
Anthony, Ouy Anthony and other
representatives of the store's main
office in Oklahoma City were in
El Reno Sunday to discuss the ex-
tent of damage with Melvin T.
Leflett, manager of the store here.
Leflett wu In Oklahoma City to-
day and could not be reached for
further comment.

Protestant Leaders, Senators
Gird To Veto Vatican Diplomat
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—(UP)—Protestant leaders and
key senators served notice on President Truman today that
they will continue to fight appointment of an ambassador
to the Vatican, no matter whom he nominates in place of
General Mark W. Clark.
The White House announced last night that Clark’s name
had been withdrawn at his request. But Press Secretary
Joseph Short emphasized that Mr. Truman “plans to submit
another nomination at a later time.’’
Clark, who will remain as commander of the army
ground forces, told reporters he bowed out of the diplomatic
assignment because it had be-
come “such a controversial
issue” he doubted the senate
would have confirmed him.
Protestant church groups have
been raising vigorous protests ever
since Mr. Truman moved last fall
to make Clark the first full-fledged
US. ambassador to the Roman
Catholic state.
Move Made In 1181
Clark's nomination was submit-
ted to the senate on the last day
of the 1861 session, and no action
was taken. Mr. Truman had said
previously he would re-submit the
nomination this year.
Protestant leaders were not mol-
lified by the White House disclosure
that some other nominee will be
substituted for Clark.
Episcopal Bishop Henry Knox
Sherrill, president of the National
Council of Churches of Christ In
the UwS.A., said the council's op-
position to the appointment "has
had no personal relationship with
Oeneral Clark.”
Opposed mi Principle
"Wo are opposed to the appoint-
ment of an ambassador on sincere
principle, and will continue to be.
whoever may be appointed,” he
said.
Chairman Tom Connolly. Demo-
crat, Texas of the senate foreign
relations committee said he would
stand on the statement he Issued
Saturday that he will oppose any
nominee for ambassador to the
Vatican.
Other members of the foreign re-
lations committee, who did not
wish to be quoted by name, pre-
dicted "strong opposition" to any
nominee.

Truce Talks Recessed
In Huff; Enemy Drive
Proves Worst of Year
Chinese T ry
Costly Drive
On UN Ridge
EIGHTH ARMY HEAD-
QUARTERS, Korea, Jan. 14
—(UP)—Waves of counter-
attacking Chinese smashed a
united nations attack on
Christmas ridge’’ today, but
it cost them at least 100 men.
An eighth army spokesman
called the action the “heaviest
and bloodiest” of the new
year despite its relatively
small scale.
The Chinese also repulsed
a UN attack northeast of the
cease-fire conference city of
Panmunjom last night and,
pursuing, drove the allies
from two advance positions.
However, the UN troops ral-
lied and recaptured one of the
positions in a counter-attack
early today.
Ship Blasts Shore
On the other side of Korea, the
45.000-ton U8 battleahip Wisconsin
blasted Communist east coast posi-
tions In the Kansong-Kosong area
with at least 90 tons of Its 16-lnch
shells.
Troops of the South Korean first
division launched a new attempt
to drive the Chinese Reds from
two hill positions on "Christmas
ridge” in the 8asi bulge west of
Xorangpo on the western front at
.4 am.
UN Falls Back
Both the two main attacking
forces and a screening detachment
ran Into almost Immediate stone-
wall Communist resistance. The
Reds stopped the South Koreans
cold, then bounced back in a coun-
ter-attack that sent the allies reel-
ing back to their original positions.
South Koreans counted at least
20 Chinese dead during the four
hour battle and estimated they
killed at least 80 more enemy
troops. Allied losses were believed
to have been relatively light.
The Communists captured "Christ-
mas ridge” last Dec. 28 and the
South Koreans have been trying to
re-take it ever since.

Yank Admiral Branded 'Liar'
By Red General at Truce Talk
PANMUNJOM, Korea, Jan. 14—(UP)—The Communists
almost broke up the Korean armistice negotiations today
with a charge that the united nations command was lying.
“As a repreaentative of the UN command, I shall not
sit here and listen to unfounded charges that the UN com-
mand is making a deceitful proposal and lying,” Rear Ad*
miral R. E. Libby angrily told the Reds.
He denied the Communist charge, demanded an apology
and finally proposed a recess until 11 a. m. tomorrow (8
p. m. today CST).
"You cannot intimidate us," retorted North Korean Major
General Lee Sang Cho. But he agreed to the recess.
The exchange took place in the armistice subcommittee
debating an exchange of war prisoners after Libby had con-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—(AV-
Presldent Trumart Ant to congress
today his plan for a reorganisation
of the Internal revenue bureau. It
would abolish the offices of the 64
collectors and place all tax collect-
ing employes under civil service ex-
cept the top man.
In a message, Mr. Truman told
the legislators:
“The most vigorous efforts are
being and will continue to be made
to expose and punish every govern-
ment employe who misuses his
official position.’’
Even as Mr. Truman’s message
reached the capltol. a meeting of
revenue collectors from all over the
country was being held here to dis-
cuss the plan, and a movement de-
veloped In the serutte for a substi-
tute proposal.
15 Billion Deficit
President T r u m an’s financial
chart for the government next year
adds up to about a 15 billion dollar
deficit, officials said today.
That would be two to three times
bigger than any red Ink operation
since World war II. It probably
would swell the national debt close
to or above the present legal limit
of 275 billions.
Authorities familiar with the
figures but preferring not to be
quoted directly told a reporter this
is the picture President Truman
will present to congress in his an-
nual budget message one week from
today, barring last minute changes:
1. Government spending in the
fiscal year beginning July 1 will
reach about 85 billion dollars, up
from an estimated 70 billions for
the current year.
No Tax Boosts Seen
2. Present tax laws will bring In
about 70 billions next fiscal year,
leaving an estimated deficit of ap-
proximately 15 billions If conditions
remain unchanged.
3. Although the administration
for several years has Insisted on
taxes high enough to balance the
budget. Mr. Truman In this election
year won’t demand excise or Income
tax boosts to close the gap be-
tween outgo and Income.
4. Instead, the administration will
press for tighter tax enforcement
and closing of alleged "loopholes."
5. Large portion* of the 85 billion
dollar spending program were au-
thorized by congress In past years.

advantages tor both sides.
The truce MpervUlon subcom-
mittee also reacted until 11 a.m.
Tuesday after , the Reds strayed
from the subject to accuse the
allies of sealtog planes over the
Red Chinese mainland.
Red Chaiye Doled
A far east air force spokesman
offered only this comment on the
charge:
"I can assart you that the far
east air forte la confining Its aerial
activity to North Korea."
In the prisoner subcommittee,
Libby told the Reds that both sides
would benefit If only war prisoner*
and civilian tntamaas loyal to them
wu repatriated. as specified In the
allied exchange program.
Oeneral tM snapped back:
“Is It possible that you as a
belligerent cast give tu any advan-
tage* without lutedftng the inter
esta of your state? Therefore, It Is
a lie that you can give us a special
advantage."
Retraction Bus grated
It was then that Libby laid he
would “not sit here and listen to
unfounded charges that the UN
command Is lying.”
"You will therefore go over our
proposal and the explanation we
made this morning In detail and
please point out any Instance where
the proposal is deceitful In any way
or any way in which It approaches
a He," Libby said.
"If you can find one, our side
will withdraw it with apologies. If
you cannot, you will retract your
Ill-considered remarks."

Search for Lost
Seamen Goes On
Ships Refuse To
Abandon Sen Hunt
SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 14—(VIP)—
Rescue ship* bucked gale-force
wind* and 46-foot seas today In a
widening search for 48 crewmen of
the abandoned freighter Pennsyl-
vania.
A new storm, packing winds up
to 60 miles an hour offshore, swept
the disaster scene and grounded a
team of 11 rescue planes aiding the
surface vessel*.
The seas were to rough that a
freighter and a tanker taking part
tn the search were toned to haave
to all night.
MU Have Nape
The coast guard refused to give
up hope for Captain Oeorge F.
Plover and hi* 45 men who radioed
"leaving now” Wednesday after re-
porting the Pennsylvania waa
cracked wide open and “down by
the head.”
‘The search will continue Indef-

has not been given up."
But so far no trace has bean
found of the four lifeboats known
to have been on the 7600-ton
freighter.
Air Search Halted
Air searches were cancelled Sat-
urday and Sunday, and officials
were doubtful they could be re-
sumed today.
The coast guard cutter Klamath
and the Canadian weather ship
Stone town battled 85-mlle-an-hour
gales over the week-end to continue
the search, but with “negative"
results.
Debris, probably wrenched from
the decks of the Pennsylvania as
she sank, was found by searchers
