Oil We'll Fire Put Out
 By Veteran Fire Fighter

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. R = A wild oil well fire which has blazed almost week at a well in the northern bushland was snuffed out yesterday by Red Adair, de- scribed as the worlds foremost oil well fireman.
 Adair, flown to the site of the blazing Blueberry g Well from Algiers by the Sun Oil Co, walk ed into the tic flames flames clad in an as bestos suit.
 He chained down the Christ mas Tree" pipe apparatus at the wellhead which had been loose and leaking.
 Then he simply turned valve which stopped the flow of oil and gas from below and the flames died away. The fire start ed last Friday.
 1t was the second asbestos-suit walk into the flames in as many days for the barrel-chested Texan. He took a first look at the blaze belching from the well among a maze of wellhead pipes Wednes- day.
 One awe-struck roughneck who witnessed the performance said: "If Adair is sent to hell he won't burn"

COP Legislators Want Time Off for Lincoln Day

JUNEAU tR - Senate Republi- cans asked the upper chamber yesterday to defer action on major bills on Feb. 11-12-13 so several COP members of the Senate could keep Lincoln Day engage ments in other cities.
 Majority Democrats granted the request, but only after a brief furry of good-natured debate on what constituted major legisla- tion and wno should determine what bills were major legisla- ton.
 It was finally decided that the Rules Committee should be the arbiter, but not after Sen. Vance Phillips, R-Anchorage), nearly broke up the session with the comment:

Ready and Willing Draftee

CHICAGO tP1 Joe Willie Riley was drafted during the Korean War but managed to avoid military service by appealing to President Harry Truman:
 If you want me, I'll lock my door and go, but just want you to know that you're taking an old lady off to war"
 Mrs. Riley, 62-year-old widow, was Selective Service No. 11-80- 31-137. She is believed to be the only female draftee in the na- tion's history, Marian Staniec, Social Security district manager, said Wednesday.
 Staniec and several associates gave a luncheon for the plump, pleasant widow and presented her with her first social security check.
 q think I'm still classified 1-A,' Mrs. Riley smiled. ssBut I've told the Army all I can do is pray for the boys, if they need another chaplain"
 Mrs. Riley became a Gold Star Mother when her oldest son, Will liam, was killed in a bombing raid over Germany irl World War II. Her other son, Robert, is sta- toned at an Air Force base near Little Rock, Ark.

.JFK Will Name
 Negro to Cabinet if Agency Is Formed


 WASHINGTON tR = President Kennedy says that if his proposal for establishment of new Ur- ban Affairs Department goes through he'll name a Negro to his cabinet to head the agency.
 The President told a news con- ference Wednesday the cabinet post would got to Robert Weaver, a Negro who now heads the Housing and Home Finance Agency.
 Kennedy said he would con- tinue to push for establishment of the Urban Affairs Department despite a rebuff by the House Rules Committee. It voted 9 to 6 Wednesday to block the proposal; Under questioning during his liveliest news conference in months, Kennedy was:
 Critical of the House Reptlbli- can leadership.
 Philosophic about the Senate in vestigation of Pentagon speech cenSoring.
 Hopeful that: His tariff cutting proposals will escape a partisan fight on Capitol Hill. His medical care plan under Social Security will come up for congressional headcount this year.
 Kennedy also was unconven- tional in identifying Weaver as the man he intends to appoint as head of department that doesn't yet exist. Weaver would be the first Negro to serve, in a cabinet. His race is one of the controver- sial factors in congressional dis pute over Kennedy's plan for the new department.
 Kennedy was critical" some what astonished"-of the House Republican leadership for opposing the plan. All five Republicans ir the Rules Committee voted agains' lit, with four Democrats. Tn a philosophic tone, Kenned. said "coordination" and "guid ance' on policy statements Q military men and government of cials are valuable if the United States is to address the worle Iawith force and strength. " He Twas discussing charges, now the subject of the Senate hearings, that military figures have been muzzled in speeches on such is- sues as the Communist menace. Kennedy was critical, at an other point, of the 25-hour work week provided in an agreement between the International Brother hood of Electrical Workers and New York's construction indus try He advocated 40-hour work week and benefits that reflect in creases in productivity. The New York contract, he said, meets neither standard.

Another Moscow newspaper told

Struggle Inside KremIin
External Sino-Soviet rivalry is
paralleled by a struggle inside the
Kremlin between those who, like
Trotsky, would fight for world
domination now and those who,
like the Stain of 1926, would first
try to consolidate communism in
the territory presently held.
This struggle inside the Kremlin
has been in process for at least
18 months. One of the most sig
nificant facts Of the year 1861
was that the 22d Communist Party
Congress in October failed to heal
the split, but on the contrary
magnified it.
Perhaps the most vivid single
piece of evidence of the struggle
is the personal history of Vya-
