ment was adequately covered by
insurance.
The fire broke out at about 6:55
am, but freak power failure in
Georgetown at about the same
time rendered the siren at h e
Georgetown Fire Company useless.
Since this made it difficult to
summon Georgetown volunteer
firemen, calls went out to three
other area fire companies for as
sistance.
When firemen arrived at h e
scene, on U. S. Route 113, about a
mile northwest of Georgetown,
they found the building engulfed
in flames.
The fire burned out of control
for about two hours before fire.
men from the Georgetown, Milton
Millsboro and Ellendale fire COM
panies were able to get inside the
building.
The firemen were hampered in
their efforts by the lack of fire
plugs or other water supply in the
area.
Firemen were not immediately
able to give the exact cause of the
blaze but they said it looked as
if the boiler had exploded.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf,
Nov. 16.-Mrs. Irene Gibbons,
better known as the movie
dress designer Irene, plunged
to her death yesterday from
the eleventh floor of a Holly
wood hotel.
Police said the 60-year-old
designer left several notes
indicating she was troubled
by financial matters and the
illness of her husband, Screen
Writer Eliot Gibbons.
He recently suffered a
stroke, and has been in a
convalescent home.
One unaddressed note said:
II am sorry to do this in this
manner. Please see that Eliot
is taken care Of. Allen mot

the business. Get someone
very good to design and be
happy. I love you all, Irene"
Investigators said she tried
to cut her wrists before her
fatal plunge.
She had designed clothes
for such stars as Marlene
Dietrich, Rosalind Russell,
Claudette Colbert, Loretta
Young, Ingrid Bergman,
Paulette Goddard, Joan
Crawford and June Allyson.
Irene left MGM in 1949
but continued to draw the
patronage of many actresses
as a free lance designer.
The late Irene's colleagues
considered her one Of the
greatest talents the fashion
field ever had. She brought
fame to California, not only
in the designs for the screen,
which she did, but also in
the clothes which made cou-
ture and California synony-
nous.
She was a woman who often
said, When I think of some
thing beautiful it can be
translated into a dress" A
perfect sunset, gray and pink,
became a beautiful flowing
chiffon gown.

inscribed on her tombstone as
having been born on February 80,

mecca of tourists and townspeople
for many, many years. with var
ious theories projected. Intrigued
by the persistent theories the Sal

opportunity to examine the family

that originally belonged to Elisha

Mr.. Cullen adds; OF course I
have no idea why the gravemark-
er showed the birth date as Feb

that it could have been a mistake
on the part of the stone cutter, and
the family saw no need of having

for a seat in the legislature where
in he will be better able to serve
the people of the Virgin Islands
by helping to carry forward the
legislative program of this admin
istration."
It is difficult (but then again,
perhaps it is not) to believe that
the same Ralph PaiewonSky un-
leashed a singing, vitrioTic at
tack on De Lugo last week in
Washington, calling him an 'ir-
responsible Juvenile delinquent"
That action no doubt soothed
Unity leaders, who have no par
ticular affection for De Lugo. But
the irresponsible juvenile delin-
quent" sobriquet probably will
haunt De Lugo for some time, and
it will take more than a smiling
Paiewonsky-De Lugo photograph
to make him forget It.
Paiewonsky knows De Lugo was
one of the three men personally
interviewed in the White House
early last var to secure the govern
or@s appointment. But perhaps the
point of no return has now been
reached between the two, and De
Lugo may decide to test his real
strength in Washington.
But overshadowing this power
play is the overall political future
of the Virgin Islands. The Nov. 6
election was decisive and may
portend eventual Unity control of
the entire government, %particu-
1arly if Congress soon gives the
islanders the right to elect their
own governor.
This is why the Democrats have
begun to oil their machinery and
seek majority influence in the
face of the Unity avalanche.
