Pinewood Mansion, only recently restored to the splendor of its early days as the center of a thriving plantation, burned to the ground yesterday morning after fire broke out in its kitchen. "The house is a total loss," said Mack Wayne Craig, dean of David Lipscomb College, Nashville, who returned from a trip to Florida to find the structure he had bought in 1968 destroyed.

Craig declined to give an estimate of the amount of damage, saying, "There is no way to put a value on the house, because it could not be replaced." He said there was "very little" insurance on the house and its contents. Completed in 1868 as the home of Samuel Graham, who had established a small industrial community on the banks of the Piney River, Pinewood had stood vacant for 45 years before Craig bought it in 1968 from Dr. and Mrs. George Mayhew.

RESTORING THE house and filling it with period furniture "was something I had wanted to do for a lifetime," Craig said last night. I Pa Isy Director, 2 Aides Suspended The Hickman County and Dickson County rescue squads responded to calls for help, but the Hickman unit, the first on the scene, was delayed by about 40 minutes because of a detour around flooded Highway 100 just north of Centerville. "Chances are they could have saved it if they could have got straight on out there," said Hickman County Sheriff Frank Atkinson. (Turn to Page 16, Column 1) By KATHLEEN GALLAGHER and KIRK LOGGINS Middle Tennessee's first sunshine after a week of rain shone down yesterday on more than a thousand ruined homes, scores of washed-out bridges and roads, and a repair bill expected to exceed $31 million for the state. State Civil Defense Director Jerry McFarland said Smith County was hardest hit financially, with damages expected to reach $7.9 million.

McFarland estimated flood damage for the state at more than $31 million. WEATHER forecasts for the next few days indicate the area is in for more problems, with light rain predicted for today and again toward mid-week. Temperatures will remain cool, with the thermometer hovering just below 50 degrees. The flooding throughout the Midstate area was clearly hampering repair efforts yesterday as many families remained the unexpected guests of relatives and friends living on higher ground. "We can't make much headway as long as the water remains as high as it is," said W.S.

Wallick, assistant director of Tennessee Civil Defense. State Welfare Commissioner Horace Bass and Civil Defense Director Jerry McFarland yesterday toured badly flooded areas in Smith and Jackson counties. BASS WAS temporarily stranded with other members of the inspecting party when a bridge across Roaring River on Highway 135 near Gainesboro collapsed just after they had crossed it. Jackson County Sheriff Charles Ragland pulled some railings off and fashioned a makeshift bridge to get the commissioner and other officials back to safety. Ragland called the flood "the worst that's ever hit Jackson County" in terms of financial impact.

Wallick said early estimates of damage to the whole state total more than $31 million. HEAVIEST DAMAGE has been reported in Smith County, where rebuilding is expected to cost $7.9 million Jackson County, estimated at $2.7 million; Sumner County, $1.9 million, and Maury County, $1.4 million. Preliminary Red Cross figures showed a total of 1,032 homes damaged, including mobile homes, in the 19-county Midstate area. Emergency shelters were in operation Wednesday through Friday in Williamson, Jackson and Rutherford counties. In Gainesboro, Red Cross workers packed food for delivery by boat to 125 stranded families, and in Carthage, the Red Cross was still feeding 200 families yesterday.

MAYO SAID the action was taken because of fear of some board members that suspicion surrounding the handling of funds at the UCP Day Care Center, 337 22nd might discourage donations to the UCP operation.
