Glasgow Fire

GLASGOW, Scotland, Mar
20 (AP).-Britain's worst fire
brigade disaster in history-the
explosion of a blazing whisky
warehouse-killed 10 firemen
and injured at least 40 other
f1reflghters last night.
The explosion dumped tons
of rubble and burning Scotch
whisky on three fire trucks and
rocked surrounding tenements
Two little girls who had run
from their nearby homes to see
the first were at first feared
buried in the blazing ruins. But
they spent the night in a near
by warehouse and turned up
this morning.
Heat Bars Rescuers
Intense heat from the smol-
dering ruins prevented rescue
teams from making a thorough
search early today.
Ofhcials said that not even
during World War II did any
single fire claim so many fire.
men victims.
The six-story warehouse con-
tanned $1,000 gallons of Scotch
whisky and an estimated SIS
million worth of tobacco. The
owners said the financial loss
might reach $28 million.
The big warehouse had al
ready begun crumbling from
flames when the first units OF
flremen arrived.
A short time later, there was
a deep rumble and then the
walls bulged and split apart in
a deadly cascade of debris. The
blast ripped OF the roof and
shot blazing barrels of whisky
into the narrow cobbled streets
below.
Cascade Of Flaming Whisky
Tons of rubble and rivers of
flaming whisky cascaded over
the fire trucks.
Despite scorching heat, a
rescue team managed to reach
one man half buried in bricks
and masonry. Another fireman
was pulled clear but a leg was
severed.
Cries of help could be heard
amid the roaring flames.
ITS impossible to reach
them" said one fire chief. NO
one could survive that heat"
The blaze spread to an ad-
joining ice cream factory be-
fore Glasgow's entire firefight-
ing force and units from out
lying districts managed to con-
troll it early today.
1t was the second major
whisky loss by fire in Glasgow
this month. On March 20

Three Lost As Rangers Get Dumped Into Florida Surf

ELGIN AFB, Fla, R = Rough surf and a broken cable dumped 30 Army Rangers into the Gulf of Mexico during a training exer- else. Two officers drowned, and third is missing.
 The series of. .mishaps occurred late Tuesday night about 500 yards from the white beaches of nearby Santa Rosa Island.
 The Rangers arrived at this northwest Florida base from Ft Benning, Ga, Saturday for spe- cial survival training.
 Two landing craft brought 14O men taking part in the exercise to within about 600 yards of shore. At that point they trans ferred into l6-foot rubber rafts to make simulated beach assault.
 The surf, churned up by stiff breeze, capsized three of the rafts, throwing 25 Rangers into the water.

,U. s. Will Not Be
 Party to Castro
 Reprisals, Says Ike


 WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower Tuesday ruled out any United States reprisals at this time against Cuba's Fidel Castro regime.
 The President told a news con- ference the Castro governments anti-American campaign causes concern and perplexes this country.
 But, Eisenhower added, the American people still have great affection for the Cubans. The United States, he went on, is not going to be party to any re- prisals against Castro at this mo- ment, and is certainly not going to intervene in Cuba's internal affairs.
 In a TV broadcast last week, Castro accused the U. s. Embassy of working with opponents of his government He also denounced VlCG II6SlQGIlL NIxOIl.
 After this Castro broadcast, the United States called Ambassador Philip Bonsal home for consul tations.
 Eisenhower dealt with these other topics in his news confer ence:
 Space = The United States, he said, has no reason to bow it's head in shame in any comparison of American and Soviet accom- plishments in space exploration.
 Defense = The United States has developed better intelligence methods Tor evaluating the mili- tary strength of the Soviet Union. Eisenhower made that remark when asked for comment on what reporter called assertions by Secretary of Defense Gates that the United Stats now is passing its conclusions on Soviet intentions rather than military capabilities.
 Politics = Eisenhower said he had no comment except laughter for Democratic attacks on Vice President Nixon as Juvenile Delinquent"
 Asked about the possibility Of his visiting other countries in the Far East, Eisenhower noted that Congress still will be in sesion in June. On trip, he oberved, he does not get a chance to con- suit as thoroughly as he would like with other officials regard ing bills which he must either sign or veto.
 For that reason, he strongly in- dicated, he has no present plans to visit additional countries on that tour.

insurance don't really know what their policies can do and can't do for them simply because they can't understand the legalistic and highly technical language in which most policies are written, "Michael H. Levy, president of Standard Security Life Insurance Company of New York said today. He con tinued, "A mans life insurance policy is one of the most important documents he'll ever own, possibly the single most important. What it says should be as clear to him as his birth certificate or marriage certificate"
 Standard Security has changed all that. This company has de- yaloped really different form of life insurance contract approved by the New York State Departirent of Insurance-that is both easy to-read and easy-to-understand.
 The new policy is unique not only for its readability-it looks entirely different from the tradi- t;onal life insurance policy. Instead of using the ordinary legal-sheet, "road-map" format, this policy is made up as digest-magazine-size spiral-bound booklet. All the basic information is clearly shown upon the cover, the details are spelled out in full-large type and in easy to-understand style-on each of the
The Nome nugget., 1960-01-27

succeeding pages. Policies are sold with small even-dollar monthly premiums enabling policyholders to budget their family security pro- tection."
 This policy, level term to age 75, is not available through brokers or agents, but is sold only through the mail directly from the Com- pany's home office at III Fifth Avenue, in New York City. The direct sales approach by the Com pany enables it to give its policy holders more coverage and more benefits for less money. Thus the customers pay less for the protec- tion they want, need and get.

Fishing Boats Engineer Tells of Intentional Sinking in Puget Sound

SEATTLE, R - A strange dia- logue on the bridge of a sinking ship was described yesterday at the trial of John Solnordal on charge of scuttling the fishing vessel Cape Douglas.
 'sHe (SolnordaD said: Don't worry. There's $3,OOO in it for you if you side with my story" Ken meth Ness testified. Ness, 40, was engineer of the 78-footer when she sank in Puget Sound little more than year ago.
 "I told him to go to heck" Ness added. "It wasn't worth it. Then when I saw the ship was going anyway, I said: Make it five
 "I won't guarantee five, but I'll make 1t three. When this is all over, you and your wife and me and my wife will go up in the mountains for a few days and I'll tell you what happened"
 Ness, now a machinist with a Seattle engineering firm, said he and Solnordal clambered aboard a rubber raft, rowed away about 50 yards, and watched the Cape Douglas sink.

Airline Says CAB
Air Service Order
Would Kill Profits
Ry ne Associated Press

American Airlines says a re-

The airline said the intent
of the ruling was that sched-

so far as profit and loss are
concerned, should be by "flatly
arbitrary Government pre-
scription unrelated to profit
ability"
The airline objected to the
proposed CAB requirement that
round-trip service with no
more than two intermediate
stops must be provided in mar
kets which actually exchange,
or potentially could generate.
