The fire also was only 12 miles from the Ojai Valley resort area where 16,000 persons reside.

AN ESTIMATED 2.000 firemen on the ground, spread thin at some spots along the fire line, concentrated on the eastern front most of the day. Summerland and Carpinteria, a few miles to the south, benefited also from highly favorable winds and moderate temperatures. Potential trouble spots remained on the west and northwest front. "The weather will tell the story," a fire official said. The fire in four days has burned 82,000 acres, much of it in valuable watershed, in addition to an estimated 100 structures most of them east and north of Santa Barbara.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (UPD A dramatic shift in winds and a concentrated air tanker attack late yesterday stalled a devastating four-mile wall of fire that was threatening two inland communities nestled in tinder-dry forests. The drastically improved weather" conditions also brought relief for Summer-land and Carpinteria, two threatened towns near the Pacific Ocean. But the U.S. Forest Service emphasized the situation is "still serious." and the massive fire still was far from controlled.

THE CONCENTRATED air attack with bombers dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of chemical fire depressants on the major front as it moved eastward coincided with a sudden, unexpected easterly wind that blocked the flames. The huge four-day old Santa Barbara Montecito 20-room mansion of Avery Brundage, president of the International Olympic Committee, they destroyed a multimillion-dollar art collection. Lost were Egyptian and Oriental art treasures considered irreplaceable. THE $500,000 home of Wright S. Ludington also burned, but his priceless art collection was reported saved.

Dr. Robert Maynard Hut-chins, former president of the University of Chicago and current bead of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions here, as-sertedly lost books and papers representing a lifetime of scholarship when his 100,000 home was gutted. Flames ended a lifetime dream and two years work on the part of retired actor-businessman Judd Morgan, his wife and children, who had labored to build their $100,000 dream home. It was almost finished when fire reduced it to ashes. THREE BUILDINGS at Westmont College, including a men's dormitory, were destroyed.

Fire also caused 10-20 per cent destruction of the Mt. Calvary Monastery, an Episcopal Church retreat high atop a mountain. Residents of Santa Barbara, Montecito and the surrounding area whose homes were not ravaged by fire went about their business hoping that their sections would continue to be spared and saddened by the plight of their less fortunate SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (UPI) Millionaires' mansions and modest dwellings alike have felt the ravages of flames in the five-day old Santa Barbara Montecito holocaust. Thousand of residents abandoned their homes in the outlying areas as flames marched toward them, destroying or damag-ging more than 100 dwellings.

By night, the red wall of flames rising along a 10-mile front was reflected in the ocean off this picturesque seaside resort where the old Spanish influence still predominates.

Ten persons were reported missing and 470 injured at midnight last night, as Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu began to recover from the shock of Wilda's initial typhoon punch. Some 7,260 houses were destroyed or washed away in Kyushu.

As the typhoon moved up the coast of Japan, it had sideswiped Japan's smallest main island of Shikoku, and then tore east across the main island of Honshu, neatly tipping over and sinking an Indonesian freighter berthed at the port city of Kobe. The crew swam to safety. WILDA'S FURY was mostly spent by the time it reached Tokyo today. It had just enough punch left, however, to rip the roofs off a building at Asaka shooting range, two bathhouses in the Olympic Village, and Lake Sagami canoeing course headquarters building. Five Hungarian athletes were taking baths at the time the bath house roofs were hit, but they were unhurt.

Ticket To Nowhere WASHINGTON (UPD Any American parent who lets his son drop out of school before the eighth grade is condemning, him to a life sentence of poverty, a U.S. Chamber of Commerce report said yesterday. The report said that grade school and high school dropouts are less likely to be employed, to be drafted by the Army, to move away from their home towns or to vote in a presidential election. The findings were contained in a 64-page study titled. "Education, an Investment in People," by the chamber's education department.

Issued every 10 years, the report covers the relationship between education and economic, social and political conditions in the United States. The emphasis this year was on the problems of pupils leaving grade and secondary schools before finishing their course of study. The report said boys who quit school before completion of their primary education will earn an average yearly wage of $3,100. "This is a life sentence to poverty," it said. 'COM Mil IS ISM IN CUBA stands today as I the greatest single threat to peace and freedom in our own hemisphere.

Only recently, the O.A.S. condemned Castro for his attempts to export Communism to other Latin and South America countries. Even today, the presence of Soviet troops just 90 miles from our shores together with reports that offensive missiles still remain there makes our national security questionable." "Today our nation confronts many grave and dangerous criers in every area of the world. Perhaps the greatest threat to peace and freedom comes today from RED CHINA. American soldiers have already fought this threat in Korea and are fighting it today in Laos and South Vietnam." "Every major foreign policy problem we 1 faced in 1960 including those in which solu- tions were hopefully near every single one of those, problems are ivith us today.

NAPOLI WAS given 7 to 15 years on each of nine counts, the terms to run consecutively. Goldstein said he would consider a reduction of sentence if Napoli disclosed his narcotics supplier. "I know of no more loathsome crime than being a seller and pusher of heroin," the judge said.

Police said Napoli, a former Brooklyn resident, moved to Long Island so he could better handle his narcotics trade in the Bethpage area. At his trial students testified that he not only sold them narcotics but injected it into their arms on the spot. I "This is a dastardly crime," the judge said.

"My only regret," Acting Supreme Court Justice Aaron F.

Goldstein said, "is that the state legislature has so far failed to prescribe the death penalty for this dastardly crime, which is worse than murder."

WASHINGTON (U I) An impatient Senate quickly approved President Johnson's prized Appalachia program yesterday and hurtled on toward final congressional adjournament, possibly next Saturday. The bill, passed by a 45-to-13 roll call vote, authorizes $1,060,000,000 in federal funds to revitalize the im-poverished Appalachia Mountain region in 11 states stretching from Pennsylvania to Georgia. The measure goes to the house, where backers expect it to pass next week by a narrow margin. THE BILL was earnestly sought by the President as a companion piece to his election-year "War on Poverty," incorporated in a broader program already approved by Congress.

Senate critics protested that the Appalachia bill was an "ill-conceived and poorly drawn" device to win votes. With its six-week legislative logjam broken, the Senate was working so fast jthat Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Demo- tic lead-j er, predicted that Congress Treaty With The Soviet Union.
