The driver, Paul Ruggiere, 21, of Bellwood, was hauling gasoline to farmers in the. valley. Ruggiere said he believed the fire started after the vehicle motor backfired.

Beckwith, O'Brien, the two chiefs, and Black, were atop the truck pumping water into a hole. The vehicle was carrying a load, some 2500 gallons.

Firemen from Tyrone, Bellwood, Tipton, Greenwood, and Pinecroft all were on hand. These same companies have been plagued with an extraordinary number of fires since early April.

The first call to firemen was made at 9 a.m. when the Tipton Co. was notified. The other companies were alerted, then minutes later went to the scene. Kimmel Gives Dedication Traffic Data Lt.

But as soon as space is no longer available, the barricades will be placed.

Bolivian Palace Is Under Attack LA PAZ, Bolivia (UPI) An army regiment revolted against the government of President Hugo Banzer today and troops attempted to smash into the presidential palace. The government said it crushed the revolt but the rebels claimed victory. Tanks, armored cars and infantry troops filled the streets of the before dawn, sealing off the the presidential palace and strategic areas.

A presidential spokesman said Banzer was not in the palace at the time of the revolt and had left Tuesday on a trip to the town of Tupiza in southern Bolivia. Information Minister Guillermo Bulacia and high command spokesman Gen. Carlos Al- coreza said a revolt by the Tarapaca regiment, based nine miles outside La Paz, had been quelled and the government retained control of the country. Alcoreza, speaking over the Woman Hurt In Crash; Gar Demolished A woman driver was injured and her car was demolished in a two-vehicle accident this morning at Eleventh and Moore Streets, Huntingdon, Eileen Hensler, 24, of 119 North Eighth Street, Jeannette, was taken to Blair Memorial Hospital where she was treated for facial injuries and injuries to her right side.

He said the streets of the high Andean capital were calm.

But Radio Altiplano later said rebel leader Col. Raul Lopez Leyton called the station and announced the insurgents had taken over the government with armed forces backing. Leyton told the radio station the country was calm but in rebel hands. The rebel colonel warned political parties to abstain from issuing calls of support for Banzer. The Bolivian interior ministry then issued a radio communique saying he rebel leaders had surrendered and had been granted permission to seek aslylum in foreign embassies.

Earlier, Radio Altiplano quoted two army colonels as saying the garrison at army general headquarters in Mirafiores in the southern sector of La Paz had joined the rebels and controlled the streets. The broadcast said an armored car from the Tarapaca regiment attacked the presidential palace and destroyed a doorway in an attempt to batter its way inside. The information minister gave few details of the attempted coup other than to say the Tarapaca regiment had revolted but was beaten by loyalists who were in "total control." He said rebels who had advanced on the presidential palace had withdrawn. The Tarapa regiment is controlled by young officers without a definite political ideology, political sources said. Soldier Is Killed By Sniper BELFAST (UPI) A sniper firing from an abandoned house shot and kiled a British soldier on patrol with a single bullet in the head in a town west of Belfast, the army said today.

Police, fearing Irish Republican Army (IRA) reprisals for the death in jail of a hunger striker, today questioned 12 suspected IRA members captured by paratroopers in County Armagh Tuesday and today in a massive nationwide crackdown. The IRA has vowed to revenge the death of Michael Gaughan, who died Monday in a prison hunger strike. British Army officials said the soldier killed on patrol was shot once in the head shortly before midnight in the County Tyrone town of Dungannon, 36 miles west of Belfast, and died early today. Other troops returned the fire but the sniper escaped after the ambush. Gaughan, a 24-year-old alleged IRA officer, died Monday of pneumonia at Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight, where he was serving a seven- year sentence for bank robbery.

He had refused to eat since March 31 to back his demand that he be recognized as a political prisoner and transferred to a jail in Northern Ireland. More than 7,000 demonstrators, some shouting "British government murderers," marched through a Roman Catholic section of Belfast Tuesday night to mourn Gaughan and support five other Irish hunger strikers in British jails. The soldier slain at Dungannon was the 215th soldier to die llth this year the army moved into Northern Ireland to step between warring majority Protestants and minority Roman Catholics, the army said. The killing put the overall death toll in nearly five years of strife in Northern Ireland at 1,032.

On Strip Mine Law House Rejects Coal Protests WASHINGTON (UPI) A coal industry claim that it would be economically prohibitive to return strip mined land to its approximate former condition has been rejected by the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. The committee, in-a 295-page report accompanying a surface- mining bill for House floor consideration and released Tuesday, said renewed federal commitments toward coal as a domestic energy source assured the industry of a reasonable return on its investment. "Thus the argument that reclamation is prohibitively expensive, if it ever was valid, is certainly no longer so," the committee said.

"In regard to the most stringent performance standards, namely those associated with returning the mining site to the approximate, original contour, recent studies have shown that even in the steepest, Appalachian terrain, reclamation according to those requirements is economically feasible using currently available equipment," the report said. "There is evidence, in fact, that compliance in some cases increases profitability to the operator," the report added. The House committee bill, which still needs rules committee action before it goes to the floor, would require surface mined land to be returned to the approximate original contour, as well as setting various other mining and reclamation stan- dards. The Senate passed strip mining legislation last October. The House committee approved the bill on May 14 by a 26-15 vote.

In a minority report, 10 members of the committee, headed by ranking Republican Craig Hosmer of California, said passage of the measure "would bf improvident, and seriously endanger this nation's economy." They said Congress "should not further endanger this nation's energy supply and thereby endanger its economy by adopting this ill-conceived legislation." "It is short-sighted and dangerous legislation for a nation which is involved in energy circumstances, because it minimizes the access to and the production of most abundant and logical fuel source presupposes the protection of the natural environment as our paramount national interest," they added. To back up their objections, those holding the minority view, included letters from Interii Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton and federal energy administrator John C. Sawhill calling the bill "unacceptable" in its current form.

Five other members of the committee who supported the bill in general, filed additional views objecting to a provision which would require the consent of surface owners before co.f owned by the federal government could be mined.
