How the new French

PARIS - (ALN - TIL u G h
Frances new cabinet is presented

its outstanding feature is the pre-

and injured eight others early
today.
The dead and injured all were
colored. Seven of those injured
were said to be In serious condi-
ton.
The fire, which broke out shortly
before 2 am, spread through the
upper floors of the five-story house
in few minutes and ragged for more
than an hour before flremen re-
spending to three alarms managed
to extinguish it.
Firemen effected many spectacu-
lar rescues as members of three
hook and ladder companies raised
extension ladders to windows and
fire escapes and aided more than so
persons to safety.
The dead, all residents of the fifth
floor of the building, were listed by
police as Ellen Daniels, 40, who died
in a plunge from her apartment to
the street; Ernest Cummings, IA, and
two, brothers, Richard Mckenzie,
13, and William Mckenzie, Is.
The blaze wrecked the fifth floor,
most of the fourth floor and Sec
tions of other floors near the dumb
waiter shaft. More than 20 pieces
of fire apparatus. five ambulances,
a hospital disaster unit and a po-
lice emergency squad responded to
the alarms.

Two years ago he had a cartilage

the second and third floors of the
Babies Hospital when a fire started
in a first-f1oor room early this
morning, were back in their cribs
today.
Miss Vera Floyd, superintendent
Of nurses, said none of the infants
suffered "any apparent injuries"
A score Of student nurses, Miss
Floyd said, hurried to the upper
floors Of the four-story hospital and
quickly removed the babies to the
nurses home and to homes of resi-
dents in the area. Two of the
babies, who were in oxygen tents,
were taken in a city ambulance to
Presbyterian Hospital, Miss Floyd
said, as precautionary measure.
ALI the children, she said, were
returned after the fire in a social
service room was extinguished.
Firemen were investigating the
cause of the blaze. Miss Floyd said
the room, which was locked, con-
tanned only some desks, chairs and
files.
