Burial will be under the direction of the Blazing Dish Is Suspected in Blaze NEW ORLEANS (AP) Crepes suzette, flamed at the table at elegant Brennan's French Restaurant, may have ignited a blaze that heavily damaged the restaurant Thursday night, officials said. A fire department spokesman said flames from the crepes may have been sucked an air conditioning duct, where the fire was discovered. The blaze itself storage areas, but water confined largely to floor smoke left the dining rooms of the French Quarter landmark a shambles. The restaurant was closed early in the evening after 300 to 400 customers filed out amid dense smoke. The fire caused little damage and was extinguished within minutes.

more than an hour later, flames broke out again. There was no official word on whether the second fire, which caused most of the damage, was a separate blaze or erupted from 1 the embers of the first. "In my judgment, the first fire was extinguished," said Fire Supt. William J. McCrossen.

Two firemen were injured slightly fighting the second fire, which caused most of the damage, and a chef was treated for smoke inhalation. Officials had not put a dollar value on the damages. David Wilson, Brennan's general manager, said among the losses were reservations files that included bookings as far ahead as 1985. Restaurant patrons said the evacuation process was orderly and calm. Judy Chatfield of Seymour, was one of the first to spot the flames.

Judi Mancel of Madison, was nibbling French bread and awaiting her order of Shrimp Clemenceau when a waiter appeared and told her and her date, Les Castleberry, they had to leave. "Our wine hadn't even arrived," she said. "If it had been there, we might have taken it with us." Wilson said some 60 customers returned after the fire to try to pay their bills, but their money was not accepted. Wilson said he hoped to have the restaurant back in operation by Monday. "I've promised the Brennans that -even if I have to serve only 10 tables." But a waiter, surveying the damage, said he doesn't see how the restaurant can reopen for several months.

An airline spokesman said early flight operations were running "very passenger traffic was not, surprisingly, light." About 80 per cent of the company's. 1,900 employes were on their jobs. A spokesman said the airline suspended flights from Love Field pending resolution of litigation involving commercial air carriers operating from the close-in airport. The spokesman estimated it would take the airline at least 60 days to recover traffic lost during the strike. The airline spokesman said it would be several days before service resumes to Monterrey, Tampico and Veracruz, as well as Salt Lake City.

The Air Line Employes Association went on strike Dec. 1 and was joined four days later by pilots, mechanics, dispatchers and flight attendants. The airline suspended all operations. The employes association reached tentative agreement on a new contract with the Girl Arrested In Tot's Death Haggard Funeral Home. She was a retired nurse and a member of the First Baptist Church.

Sew up a no-iron summer now. Sale yd. Corp. He designed some of the most sophisticated planes, including the Lockheed Electra, and space age vehicles. His name became familiar to hundreds of thousands of World War II airmen who were trained in Stearman-designed trainers.

They were built by the Stearman Aircraft Division of United Aircraft with which Stearman merged after the 1929 stock market crash almost wiped out his privateplane building company in Wichita, Kan. After the stock market crash, his reputation enabled him to form a group and purchase the then Lockheed Aircraft Co. in Burbank for $40,000. The company grew into a giant. But Stearman, preferring drawing boards and cockpits over desks and private offices, left Lockheed in 1935 to go back to designing.

In 1955 he returned to Lockheed as a designer. He designed the swing wings for the F111 fighter-bomber, worked on F104-like VTOLs vertical takeoff and landing craft helped design winged rockets to loft men into space, ion-propelled craft that may one day orbit Jupiter and reentry vehicles built of columbium to withstand high friction temperatures. Born in Wellsford, the son of an architect, Stearman made his first flight in an N9 seaplane after winning. his wings as a Navy pilot in 1 World War I. In recent years Stearman had been living in retirement.

He is survived by his widow, Ethyl. Other survivors include a sister, Ruth Metzger of Sherman Oaks, his daughter, Marilyn Carr of Kansas City, and his son, William Lloyd Stearman, an aide to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger.

Guard Says He Took CIA Memo LOS ANGELES (UPI) The Los Angeles Times reported Friday an interview with security guard Mike Davis who said he absent-mindedly took a top secret CIA document from the Howard Hughes' Hollywood offices and destroyed it when a furore arose over the incident. The document was a central Intelligence Agency memo to Hughes suggesting his company be used as a cover in raising a Soviet submarine which sank near Hawaii in 1968. Davis told the Times he took the memo and stuffed it in his pocket when it fell to the floor during a robbery of the Hughes' offices last June. He also took a $100,000 deposit certificate made out to Kay Glenn, a Hughes executive.

"It was just an absentminded thing," Davis told the Times. "'The next time I noticed them was when I got home and was in the bathroom changing clothes. When saw what I had, I panicked." The action by the guard set off an effort by the CIA to suppress information of the robbery during which thieves got away with a reported $68,000 in cash. Davis later destroyed the memo from the CIA, saying, "I felt that what was on the memo was of no personal value to anyone and that the person who wrote it knew its content." He returned the bank certificate. The memo was the forerunner to a secret contract under which the CIA supplied some $300 million to construct the Glomar Explorer, a mining vessel, which, according to the CIA, pulled up part of the Soviet sub but could not get the whole thing A man purporting to have contact with the thieves offered the return of the stolen Hughes files for $1 million and it was then that some details of the investigation became common talk among law of enforcement agencies and filtered to the news media.
