rIre Kills Man
At Night Club

BALTIMORE, Oct. S (AP).-
A smoky four-alarm fire this
morning in a downtown Balti-
more night club claimed one
life, overcame four firemen,
forced evacuation of a neigh
boring hotel and disrupted
downtown traffic.
The fire apparently started
in a basement dressing room Of
the Club Troc, managed by box
ing promoter Benny Trotta.
Mr.. Trotta said he and three
employees tried to check the
blaze with fire extinguishers,
but it spread quickly.
In trying to escape from the
building. one man apparently
was trapped in the basement
and died in the fire. He was
identified tentatively as Will
liam Lewis, 80, one Of Mr..
Trotta's employees.
Firemen were unable to enter
the basement until hours after
the fire started. The fire was
nearly out by the time they
reached the body believed to be
that of Mr.. Lewis.
AS the building filled with
smoke. firemen had increasing
difficulty getting at the blaze,
and pneumatic drills were used
to cut through the pavement
into the basement. At the
neighboring Armistead Hotel,
36 guests were evacuated.
During the height of the fire,
police arrested a dancer as she
tried to struggle through fire
lines to reclaim a costume in
the building.

William P. Ballard, president
Of Ballard Fish & Oyster Co.,

He attributed the shortage
to the presence of the dread

Tin Pan Alley reports have it
that Vice President Nixon will pick
his own campaign song before the
Republican National Convention in
Chicago on July 25. More than 100
songs have been submitted to his

sional and amateur status, but it's
likely that Mr.. Nixon will pick an old
favorite with lyrics updated for the
occasion. Senator KennedyS conven-
ton music has not been ascertained,
but the public can be assured it will
be true to the Democrats spirited
tradition.

Nov. 8 (AP). The Roman
Catholic Church counts about
one-third Of the Congo's IL
million people among its ad-
herents but faces q tough job
in trying to expand.
The Catholic Church is the
largest in this new African re-
public with about 4.8 million
members. There are about q
million Protestants and 1l5,000
Moslems.

growth presents problems, says
the Most Rev. CASTOR Mojaisky-
Perelli, apostolic delegate to the
Congo:
"The very successes in max
ing such large numbers Of con-
versions contain the seeds Of
weakness. We now have mis-
sions serving thousands Of
Catholics with perhaps only two
or three priests to care for the
faithful"

However, he saw hope in the

Nike-Zeus
ProgrumWiII
Be Hustened
By the Associated Press

The Army has appointed Q
five-man committee to review
the controversial Nike-Zeus
missile program and try to
speed it along, the man In
charge Of the program said
yesterday.
The Nike-Zeus is the Ma
tion's main hope at present for
a weapon that can knock down
intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles. But the Eisenhower ad-
ministration has refused to let
the Army 60 into the produc-
ton stage until the develop
ment is further along.
Richard Morse, director Of
research and development for
the Army, told a luncheon
meeting Of aircraft company
Representatives yesterday that
"lots Of things have changed
the Nike-Zeus outlook, tech
nically and psychologically, in
the past year."
Although he did not elabo-
rate, it was clear that the
changes he had in mind in
cluded the increasingly bel
ligerent attitude of Soviet
Premier Khrushchev since the
U-2 incident last May.
Mr.. Morse said the new COM
mittee, which he appointed, will
seek to determined, among
other things. whether anything
can be done toward starting
production Of the Nike-Zeus
before its forthcoming test
firing against an Atlas inter-
continental ballistic missile in
the Pacific.
The Atlas will be fired from

Calf, in the first attempt to
destroy an ICBM with q 200
mile range defensive missile
