Six Persons Perish in Bar When Elected Customers Toss in Bomb, Causing Fire and Catastrophe

Asst. Fire Chief R. A. Williams said the men sloshed a bucket of gasoline or some other highly in flammable liquid onto the floor, then threw a match in after it.
 FtIt went up like a blowtorch, '" said the bartender, Larry Fenton, 24, who escaped uninjured out the back door.
 Others weren't that lucky. One male customer was found on a nearly melted corner bar stool, dead and leaning slightly back ward against the shattered front wall. Two charred bodies were found in one of the Cafes four booths. Another was on the floor.
 The only woman victim ran screaming into the street, clothes ablaze. She died soon after.
 Inside, the small cafe was a blackened ruin. The 20-foot-long bar was a charred wreck. Shat tered, blackened bottles stood in front of a smokey, obliterated mirror.
 The three men who threw the improvised ''Molotov cocktail' es- caped in a car amidst barrage of gunfire from a passerby.
 Art Hartner said he was driv- ing home with his wife when he saw the bar belch flames onto the sidewalk "The whole place was a wall of flames and I saw girl stumble out on the sidewalk"
 "She was all on fire-her hair, her clothes, even her hose.
 q wrapped her in my coat and tried to beat out the flames as she cried: Why did they do it? What about my children?'"

Soviets Carry Out Seventh A Test Since August

LOND ON, R1I'he Russians carried out another nuclear test Wednesday, the British Defense Ministry announced.
 It was the seventh Soviet test reported since last August, when the US. Atomic Energy Commis- sion announced the start of a Russian test series.
 The AEC announced the sixth explosion on March g, saying it had occurred the day before.
 The British announcement said only: "The Soviet Union carried out another nuclear test on Wednesday,"
 Earlier this week the Russians rejected a Japanese appeal to sus- pend test explosions. Soviet For eign Ministry Press Chief Leonid F. Ilyichev said that without big power agreement to end tests, the Soviet Union would have to con- tinue perfecting its weapons in the interest of its own security.
 The British government also has refused requests from the Japanese government and the op- position Labor Party that it call off it's test soon of Britain's first hydrogen bomb, at Christmas Is- land in the Pacific
 The government said the tests were necessary for the defense of the free world, in the absence of a disarmament agreement.

Wind Blown Drifts Continue To Plague States in Wake Of Damaging Blizzards, Tornadoes
(By The Associated Press)

Towering drifts-minus fresh snow-whipped across roads and blocked travel again today in east central Colorado and the south east corner of Wyoming.
 Winds backlashing from a storm which dumped paralyzing snow two days earlier churned it into binding ground b1izzards late yesterday.
 The toll from the earlier snowstorm. meanwhile. mount ed 10 eight deaths in Colorado. "A Georgia storm killed two Ne gro children.
 A rash of violent early April storms battered broad areas from the Rockies to the Atlantic coast today.
 The tornado activity appeared abatlng in southern areas after causing widespread property dam age ana deaths.
 Tennessee. Kentuck and Mis- slssippi were hardest hit by the storms which followed earlier tornadoes in Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas. Drenching rains followed.
 Twenty-one persons were killed earlier this week in tornadoes which struck Texas and Oklaho- una and in blizzards in the Rockies. Ten persons were killed in Dallas, heaviest hit by the twisters, which caused more than $4 million dam age in Dallas alone. Five persons were killed in Oklahoma.

only $17 million of the $47 million extra it has asked for operations over the next three months.
 The necessary cutbacks, he said, twill very seriously penalize the American people and the sos, ,0O0 employees of the Post Office De partment."
 Sunmerfield called what he termed "an emergency press con- ference" to discuss the action by a House Appropriations Commit tee which cut his request to SIT million. He said he was confronted with the 'fmost difficult decisions a postmaster general has been called on to make" naming it as the necessity to decide within 48 hours how the cuts can be applied.
 Summerfield outlined these various possibilities:
 An embargo on acceptance and delivery of all third class mail ex- cept merchandise, at a saving of $30 million for the final quarter of the fiscal year. Third class matter includes advertising mat ter, samples and oatalogs.
 Wipe out city carrier delivery on all kinds of mail on Saturday at saving of $1O million.
 Close all post offices on Satur- days and stop rural mail deliveries on that day at a savings of $4 million
 Halt money order sales at a savings of another $4 million.
 Summerfield told some 70 newsmen that it made him "heart- sick" just to list these possibilities, as he already has done for Con- gress. He said he hopes Congress, if it insists on cutting funds for his department, will instruct him where the cuts should be made.

3 Children Spend lh Hours Trapped In Deserted Safe

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Three children spent 112 hours trapped in a deserted mansions walk-in safe last night before firemen could tear open the door.
 The youngsters did not say who locked them in as they were play ing in the partly demolished building in Pacific Heights.
 Bremen knocked the dial off the ' X 10-foot safe door in order to press in an oxygen tube. That prevented use of the combination which turned up soon after.
 A professional safe mechanic finally jimmied the door enough so that firemen could pry it open. Efforts to pierce the massive con- crete and steel walls had failed.
 The three children, all members of prominent families, were Chris Stevenson, II; David Rude, 15 and William Moore, 16. Cheri's 13-year-o sister, Cathy, sounded the alarm when she found the door of the tomb1ike vault shut.
