Georgetown 10 Push
huNedy Hall Repairs
After 3-AIarm Fire

Georgetown University officials
today were rushing plans to repair
Mulledy Hall, priests cloister, which
was ordered partly evacuated after
being rocked by a blast during a
three-alarm fire yesterday.
Observers at the fire said dam
age might run between $35 900 and
$4,000. Fire Marshal Raymond
Roberts said today, however, that
although the damage was "consid-
erable" ut would be some time be-
fore an exact. estimate could be
made.
Some priests reported loss of valu-
able notes and papers, but the Rev.
Edmund A. Walsh, S. j., regent Of
the Georgetown School of Foreign
Service, ran through falling bricks
into the building to save a manu-
script of book on German geo.
politics which he had completed
Wednesday night after two years
OF study. He also saved several his
toric documents used in writing the
book. They had been placed in a
trunk.
1t was said that most Of the repair
work to the 1l5-year-old building
would involve restoration OF water
soaked walls and ceilings and re-
setting of many loose bricks.
A university official said this
morning that wreckage will be
cleared rapidly and that reconstruc-
ton of the two badly damaged top
floors would start at once.
Mr.. Roberts said the blaze prob
ably was caused by sparks from an
incinerator. He said there were two
ventilators on the roof, one used for
blowing air out of the structure and
one for sucking air in.
According to MIR. Roberts, the
intake ventilator was on the side of
the building near an incinerator
duct. He said the suction from this
ventilator probably drew sparks from
the incinerator into the building.
The IS priests who lived in the
building as members of the faculty.
were moved late yesterday to stu

evacuated late in the day by Jesse

spector Of the District Engineering
Department. following a conference
with Father German. The building
inspector said the action was neces-
sary because of the possibility of
the walls collapsing.
The only parts Of the building
which Mr.. Kimball said may be used
are the dining room and chapel on
the first floor. Last night prayers
OF thanks that no lives were lost
were offered in the chapel.
