Flash Fire ROuts ROckefellers from Executive Mansion

ALBANY, N. Y. R-A ruinous flash fire drove the Gov. and Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller from New York's 101-year-old ecutiv e mansion early today and left the mansion a wreck.
 Rockefeller's conservative esti- mate of the damage was $500,000, including paintings and art ob- jects valued at almost $350, ,000. He said his preliminary inspection indicated the historic mansion could be repaired.
 The governor, reused by his wife, climbed through a second floor bedroom window to the roof of a shelter over the main en- trance and directed firemen in the rescue of three servants trap ped by the flames in their third floor quarters.
 The fire, which originated in the basement and spread to the main floor music room and sec ond floor bedrooms, ruined seven paintings left by former Gov Averell Hartman and several contemporary works installed by Rockefeller. Harriman's old mas ters' collection was valued at $250,O0O. Rockefeller said his own loss could run as high as $100,- GOO.
 In the charred living room, only the blackened frames of the liar riman masterpieces remained.

.Twenty-Two Coal Miners Die in
 Flash Explosion

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. R - Twenty-two miners died in a flash explosion deep in a coal shaft last night. Their torn, burned bodies were hauled out by masked work CTS in a hazardous 10-hour opera ton.
 "We don't now what caused the explosion" the mine general man. ager said, "but we're going to start an investigation to find out"
 The blast ripped through a shaft deep in the Biking Mine about eight miles southwest of Terre Haute.
 Pockets of intense heat and deadly coal gas threatened the operation and forced the rescuers to push forward with the greatest care.
 The explosion was so far un- derground that nobody heard it, and mine officials were unable to pinpoint the time.
 Just when the explosion was discovered was not clear. When an air pressure gauge on on the sur face dropped to zero, an official attempted to telephone the miners and got no response to repeated frantic ringing.
 Then coal dust was seen bel lowing from the shaft.

Senate Boosts Benefit Pay Period for Employment Security to 28 Weeks

bill,' McNealy said, "because he is only man and as man he can be wrong, and in this case he is wrong.
 'If we keep discouraging busi- ness from coming to Alaska with bills like this, here won't be any need for employment security, be- cause there won't be anyone work ing to contribute to the fund.
 ''If we continue to try to bank rupt the state in this manner, it would be my suggestion that we had just as well sell the whole thing back to the Russians"
 Smith said the Senate should not pass the benefit period ex- tension until the present law has had chance to work unemcum- bered for at least year.
 Smith said the new contribu- ton formula went into effect only last October.
 Bronson told the upper chamber it should not hesitate to pass the bill because i've have no assur- ance that the Congress is going to pass the emergency employ ment security legislation before it.
 Lets take care of our own backyard, now," Bronson said.
 Greimann and Pollock said the bill will not provide any helping hand to the little fellows who need it, those making under $1,- TOO a year"
 "The only ones who are going to benefit" Greimann said, "are those who are making $7,000 to $15,000 year and they don't need it."
 Engstrom said that while he planned to vote in favor of the bill, he felt strongly that the Leg islature should do something im- mediately to make the bankrupt employment security fund sol- vent"
 Engstrom said the fund was al- most $9 million in debt and at the current rate of contributions, and payouts, it would take 27 years to wipe the debt away.

Ike's Five-Star General Rank Will be Restored

WASHINGTON R - The Sem ate and House Armed Committees today approved d biii to restore former President Dwight D. Ei- senhower's five-star general rank.
 President Kennedy this week called for early legislation to re- turn his predecessor to the rank Eisenhower gave up in 1852 be- fore accepting the Republican candidacy for President.
 The measure, approved for ac- tion by the House, would author ize Eisenhower's restoration to the active list in the rank and with privileges but not the $20,- 543 yearly pay of a general of the Army.
 It stipulates that Eisenhower will receive instead the $25,000 annual pension and $50,000 al- lowance for office and staff pro- vided for former presidents.
 The measure would authorize the Secretary of Defense to as- sign military aides to the former President, but provide that their salaries and expenses be deducted from the staff and office allow ance Eisenhower will receive as an President.

Missile Sub Tender Runs "BIOckade" Al Holy Loch

HOLY LOCH, Scotland LR - The U. s. Navy tender Proteus ran a comic blockade by paci- fist canoe armada today and moored safely at this new missile submarine base.
 Thousands of spectators lined the the Loch as the 18,500-ton tender for nuclear missile submarines was lowed to her anchorage by three tugs.
 While this was going on, Brit ish naval and police launches darted around the big river Clyde Basin chasing the pacifist canoes.
 In the end, all six of the block ading canoes were sWamped and the occupants arrested.
 The pacifists don't like the idea of a missile base here.
 The Patrick Henry, first of the U. S. Navy nuclear subs for which the Proteus will act as mother ship, is already enroute from AI1l6I1Cd.
 The lively welcome for the Pro teus and her crew of $50 had been well-advertised in advance by the pacifists.
 First of the Proteus crew ashore was photographer Eugene Meece of Dayton, Ohio.
 Meece was happy to find Scots rushing up to shake his hand as he stepped from a launch.
 Some of the boys were little apprehensive as to the welcome we'd get after all we had read" he said. 50 you can say we're relieved to find everything so friendly"

WASHINGTON R - The U. s. Treasury paid out nearly $2OO million more in income tax re- funds in the first two months of this year than in the first two months of 1860.

JUNEAU LR - The State Sen ate, after debate lasting more than an hour, today passed legis lation boosting the maximum benefit period for employment security payments from 26 to 28 weeks.
 The vote was 13-7 on the meas ure requested by Gov. Egan.

F. Logan, McNabb, John McNees, Irwin Metcalf, Al Owen, Vance Phillips, Howard Pollock and Jack WeiSe.

School Bands First Concert On March 18th

The Nome School Band will hold it's first concert on March 18th for which two groups have been preparing for some time.
 The band is a large one, but has been divided necessarily into two groups due to the fact that the school is on a shift program and all students are not in school at the same time.
 Don Grettie, music instructor, sated that the proceeds from the concert will be the start of fund raising series of projects which will make it possible to send the band to the High School Band Festival next year. The com munity having experienced being host to the basketball tournament recently for the first time, is now aware of the benefits derived from the meeting with groups from other schools. This is important in other fields of endeavor as well as athletics as there are many stu dents whose interests are not in athletics.
 In April a benefit basketball game will be played for this proj- ' ect, matching the female teachers against the mothers, and the male teachers against the fathers.
 Chairman for the teachers teams is Richard Mccormick and an- other teacher to be announced. For the parents, Dorothy Grant and Werner Bohrer.
 The band is hopeful that it will be invited to participate in civic functions such as the Midnight Sun Festival and Fourth of July celebration.
 Band members will start selling tickets for the concert the first of the week.
 MT. Richard Mccormick, High School Principal stated, that pro- fit left over from the basketball tournament, which is well over a hundred dollars, will be put into the band fund to help get it start ed.
