I Fire Damages School Pittsburgh, Jan. 10 UP Firemen fought through four alarms tonight to bring under control a blaze which did- an estimated damage to the 73-year old Horace Mann School in the Allegheny section of Pittsburgh.

Fire Chief William Davis, who estimated the damage, said the blaze was confined largely to the Miami, Fla 10 1 Twenty-one Army P-80 jet propelled Shooting Stars stole the (how to day at the opening of Miami's 15th annual All-American Air Maneuvers. A crowd estimated at better than 15,000 craned their necks while Jets swished past the grandstands almost too swiftly to see. It was the first time the Army had exhibited their propellorless fighters In mass formation. The highlight was the arrival from Tampa, of 27 B-29 Superforts which droned over the Navy's Master Airport in a simulated bombing attack. A duel between the new and the newer followed when the P-80's, diving at better than 550 miles per hour out of the sun, "attacked" the giant bombers in four-plane tactical formation.

The Navy demonstrated for the first time in public a lei -assisted takeoff of an amphibious type Cessna. Harrlsburg, Jan. 10 0P The Unemployment Compensation Board of Review granted the claims of 20 miner employed by the Hudson 'Coal Company at Carbondale to unemployment benefit during a 'mine shutdown coincident with an industrial dispute. I Overruling previous decisions by the Bureau of Unemployment compensation ana a compensation referee, the board found the men would have been unemployed whether or not a strike had occurred last May in a United Mine Worker's contract dispute. "A worker Is not to be disqualified unless his unemployment is due to the strike to which he has assented," the board held.

"Here it is clearly established that the claimants in all events would have been unemployed during the period of the suspension by reason of their lay off."

Jan. 10 (JPi.i Tompkins County Sheriff Clifford Hall sought tonight a motive In the killing of a lb-year-old girl by a soldier who later fatally shot himself. Hall said Richard Beames of Groton, who died today, shot Elizabeth Ann Warner, also of Groton, with a .22 caliber pistol, then turned the gun on himself. The girl's frozen body and Beames, critically wounded, were found in an abandoned barn near here last night. tBoth had head wounds.

Coroner Ralph J. Low of Tru-mansburg issued a verdict of homi cide and suicide. He said the shoot-, ing probably occurred Wednesday i night. Hall, who said Beames left sev-'erul notes at his father's home, reported that the couple probably had drawn up a suicide pact: In a note to Police Chief Clarence Howard, Beames admitted shooting the girl and expressed hope he would "have nerve enough to return to her side" and take his own life, Hall said. Elizabeth ma not "have courage" to shoot herself, the note said.

The sheriff said Beames was AWIL from Lowry FJeld, Denver.

It's an enormous job a $65,000,000 job, as a matter of fact and it may not all be clear sailing. We'll have plenty of obstacles to overcome. Some of them like continuing shortages of basic materials are with us now. Others uhpredictables beyond our control may arise to plague us. But we've faced them before and we'll face them again.

So we're going ahead, in spite of anything and everything, We have the organization and the know-how, the ingenuity and the resourcefulness, the desire and the will to get this job done to take this $65,000,000 stride towards giving Pennsylvanians the finest telephone service in the world. We're planning to put up 14 new buildings and to install central office equipment in them make major additions to 15 others and to enlarge almost every central office in the state a central office expansion program twice the size of last year's, which was, itself, one of our biggest We're planning to place 450,000 miles of wire wire enough to reach from here to the moon and almost back again, or to go 18 times around the earth. We're planning for continued record-breaking installations of telephones to add nearly 200,000 to the total now in service in Pennsylvania's cities, towns and rural areas. We're planning, by the end of this year, to have telephone service available for nearly James Williams of 562 Garfield For Generations il The Name Enowdon Han Been Synonymous With Jv THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA A-.
