said they had decided against

Senators Johnston and Mon

ponents of a fiat Accent rate
for letters instead of the higher
figure asked by President

Senator Carlson led the sue

! Several women were leaping

Six women in all leaped to the
street. Two other persons were
caught in fire nets; I'VE were
rescued via aerial ladders.
Although saying there was no
evidence of fire law violations
on the premises, Mr.. Cavanagh
ordered an investigation. In
Albany last night, Gov. Averell
Hartman ordered the State
Department of Labor and

the fire in cooperation with
city officials.
s.. Mr.. Cavanagh commented:

The blaze broke out when an

They saw bodies piled atop

near the doorways. others lay
under work tables and benches,
