Six people died in an inferno that engulfed a four-story Crown Heights apartment house, forcing at least one woman to leap to her death in the back yard.

Fire Department spokesman John Mulligan said. "People were hanging from every window," firefighter Mel Moskowitz said. He said flames shot out of first floor windows and smoke billowed from upper floors. Stephen Russ, 11, who lived on the second floor, said he and his mother had to jump out the window to escape the blaze. "1 just went to bed after watching TV and boom." Russ said.

"It was scary. The fire came right in my room." In a fire in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, ambulance personnel said a man and a woman died as flames raced through a three-story wood frame house. The identities of the dead were not immediately known. The blaze in Crown Heights broke out at 1:01 a.m. and forced residents of the four-story brick apartment building to leap from their burning building into a driving rain.

About 100 firefighters battled the blaze for more than an hour. Mulligan said four of the dead were found on the top floor of the building, one on the third floor, and the body of a woman in her 20s was discovered in the building's back yard. Police said the three dead boys were believed to be in the 4- to 8-year-old range. The other two victims were males about 16 and 25 years old. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

A spokeswoman at St. John's Hospital said an H-year-old boy was transferred to Cornell Medical Center for treatment of serious burns. Mulligan said there were a total of 13 known civilian injuries and possibly as many as 19. Some were in critical condition, he said. Fourteen firefighters were injured, including seven who were placed on medical leave.

Farm Boss Sentenced To Life For Plot To Enslave Workers NEW BERN, N.C. (UPI) A federal judge, saying he wants to "sound a warning" nationwide, sentenced a farm boss to life in prison and Iwo others to lesser terms for conspiring to enslave migrant workers at a camp where one man died. U.S. District Judge W. Earl Britt sentenced John Lester Harris, 39, of Bullock County.

to a life term Tuesday. Harris was also sentenced to consecutive five-year terms on three counts of kidnapping one worker and enslaving three others. "I hope what I do today will sound a warning heard throughout eastern North Carolina and the nation," Britt said. Harris and brothers Dennis Warren and Richard Warren of Orlando, were convicted Jan. 22 in what is believed to be the first federal slavery case involving the death of a worker.

Robert Lee Anderson, a 40-year-old laborer from Philadelphia, collapsed while working in a field Sept. 13 and allegedly was left to die of heat stroke in an enclosed bus. About eight supporters of Harris and the Warrens allegedly shoved, kicked, threatened and spit on reporters, photographers and cameramen, said Francine Sawyer, a reporter for WCTI-TV, who said she was attacked. Attorneys for the station and the Sun-Journal newspaper were to meet today to decide whether to file charges. The three men were not involved in the scuffle.

Less than two weeks after Anderson died, FBI agents visited the camp Author Terkel Defends Language In 'Working' GIRARD, Pa. (UPI) Author Studs Terkel wanted to debate the parents who said his book "Working" was too obscene for high school students but about a dozen critics walked out of the discussion, saying the writer was a "smooth talker." Terkel, 69, traveled 400 miles from his home in Chicago for meetings Tuesday with parents, students and administrators of Girard High School to defend the use of four- letter words in his book. A school board committee met to discuss "Working" and announced it would decide the book's status on Feb. 15. About 350 people later attended the open meeting, which ended with about a dozen of Terkel's critics leaving the auditorium.

"I like this discussion. It creates passion rather than indifference. Fire away pleases," Terkel told his audience. "The language is not there to shock people. It is there because people in the book are talking the way they felt at the moment." The 761-page book consists of interviews with American workers including garbagemen and receptionists.

Among the most vocal critics at the meeting were Robert and Marilyn Richardson, whose son, Jim, was ordered to read Terkel's book by 12th grade teacher Kay Nichols. They, and other district residents, objected to what they claim are poor morals exhibited by the book, including the use of four-letter words. "He is a smooth talker," Richardson said of Terkel. "Today's morals are loose. I feel sorry for you kids.

The book has its place, but Small Earthquakes In Central Arkansas Puzzle Officials OPIN MON.fHMTHOIB. 7 a.m. to Midnight LIQUOR 509 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPI) A seismic researcher says it may take years to explain why 207 light earthquakes have rumbled through central Arkansas since mid- January. The small tremblers dubbed a "swarm" by officials at the Tennessee Earthquake Information Center in Memphis.

Tenn. have been detected in central Arkansas area since Jan. 12. "We've been too busy trying to keep up with it." spokesman Arch Johnston said Tuesday. "This will probably be a topic of research for years to come trying to fit the activity to faults and geological models." Johnston said more sophisticated seismic equipment recently placed in the central Arkansas area has recorded thousands of smaller quakes that the center's equipment in the northeast part of the state cannot detect.

this week and gathered evidence that resulted in indictments charging Harris and the Warren brothers. Former workers at the camp testttied Harris and Dennis Warren forced Anderson to keep working even though he had vomited blood and reported feeling ill. In issuing the sentences, Britt called Harris and the two other men products of the migrant worker system, which he said was black mark on you and others who may try it." Dennis Warren. 19, was sentenced to 20 years for conspiracy resulting in Anderson's death and two concurrent five-year terms for enslaving workers. Richard Warren, 22, was sentenced to six months in prison and five years' probation.

my quarrel is with him putting it in the schools." The Chicago author earlier this week blamed the controversy on the recent atmosphere in the nation caused in part by the Moral Majority. Richardson denied being a member of that group. The Richardsons and other parents had raised the possibility of legal action against the school board if the book was not taken out of the classroom but Mrs. Richardson refused to answer questions on that topic. Terkel said he would feel "terrible if they win.

I would fight it on the grounds of academic freedom." Some of the students and parents in the audience pointed out that worse profanity than that contained in the book can be heard in the hallways of the school.
