Charleston Fire Is Out of Control CHARLESTON, 111. (UPI)--A swift moving blaze a out of control in downtown Charleston today as firemen from four departments fought to keep flames from spreading to nearby buildings. "No injuries were reported. Charleston firemen began battling the fire at 9 a.m. and had been joined by firemen from Mattoon, Ashmore and Hindsboro.

Firemen feared that the three- story building would collapse and walls might fall on bordering structures. Fire officials said the blaze probably started in a store in about the center of the building, Neers Paint Store. The burning building occupies a quarter block south of Jackson and west of Sixth Street. On the east end is a city parking lot and to the south is an alley, and then other buildings up to Van Buren St. Part of the block which is burning was built in 1892.

It was mostly a three-story structure, with upper floor apartments. Visiting Continued From Page 1 stops in Honolulu, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and will take him east around the world through New York, London and I a few cities in Germany, is all paid for by the Carey School. The school plans to send a teacher a jear on similar trips to learn about education in other countries, he explained. Though there are differences I between schools here and in his country, "the important thing are the similarities," Grimwade said. "I'm picking out the differences and highlighting them, but we're all working for the same goals," the teacher asserted.

Australia is a developing country with enormous opportunities for growth, he said, crediting military aid made available by the United States with allowing the Australian government to concentrate on building up his country's resources. Which is important, he indicated, because of Australia's Western culture located geographically in the East. "If we can show that we, as Westerners, can in Asia, this Is important to the rest of the world because somehow or other the world hat to survive, has got to get along with all types--to cooperate with each other," Grimwade To this end, he hopes, his trip here will have been worth while. "There are a lot of new ideas here," he asserted. "When you're proportioning out your time, you've got to go to the areas where there'i a lot going on--and that certainly true here.

This is a real live-wire center." $30,000 Suit Filed in Fatal Car-Train Crash A 530,000 suit resulting from an Oct. 11 fatal train-car crash has been filed in Madison County Circuit Court. Mary R. Gibson, administrator of the estate of her husband, James E. Gibson who was killed in the crash, filed the court action in behalf of herself and the couple's four minor children.

The suit alleges that at the Maryville Road Crossing of the New York Central Railroad tracks there is an incline, along with weeds, shrubbery, poles and other obstructions which interfere with a driver's view at the crossing. In addition, the suit says that there are no signals, no flashers, no lights, no bells and no watchman at the crossing, despite the fact that it is in a residential area and is well traveled. The suit also alleges that the engine of the train which struck Gibson's car did not signal properly as it approached the crossing and that it was traveling at too high a rate of speed. HELD OVER!

Leo Dustmann, president of the Bank of Edwardsville, told the Intelligencer that "we haven't been able to get as much as we'd like to have, but jo fa. we have enough to stretch it."

Green Police Cars ARE Prettier COHONADO, Calif. (UPI) --City Manager Race N.

Wilt knows today that chojs- ing colors is a woman's prerogative even when it comes to police ears. Wilt wanted the cars beige because it would show the dirt less than the current black and white combination. "Beige is a dirty color even after it's washed," retorted Councilworftan Helen King, "Green is one of our city's official colors. I believe we should have green police cars." By a unanimous vote the council overrode Wilt and called for bids on two green police cars. Green cars, Mayor William A.

Seavey added helpfully, "can hide better in clumps of bushes." Foreign Aid ie-re is to cut at a place where it is most unjustified John 0. Pastore, D-R floor manager for the bill, said it would be "chaotic" and' a "crying shame" to trim the supporting assistance fund. President Johnson urged approval of "maximum" funds for the program in a letter to the Senate Wednesday. He said the need for a major foreign aid effprt "remains and cannot be escaped." House Cut Bill Congress authorized $3.6 billion for foreign aid earlier thii month, but the House voted to appropriate' only $2.8 billion. The late President Kennedy had asked for $4.5 billion.

The Senate discarded plans for a session Wednesday night in favor of meetfeg at 9 a.m. EST today, three hours ahead of its customary irooo meeting time, at the suggestion of Sen. Wayne Morse, R-Ore. Armed with a number of amendments, Morse said time might be saved if sponsors of proposed changes could time to confer in the Interim. Most controversial of the remaining amendments was one to restore a House-approved ban on use of Export-Import Bank credit guarantees for grain sales to Russia.

It was offered by Sen. Karl E. Mundt, who was defeated on a 57-35 vote when he tried to write a similar restrictioni into the Senate foreign aid authorization measure. Other Considerations The House planned to consider a $41.8 million supplemental appropriation for the mental health program and an agriculture appropriation conference report during the day. The way for pre-Christmas departure was paved Wednes-' day by final votes on six bills, all of which went to the White House.

Three of them were money measures that should have been enacted months ago. They provided funds for operating the State, Justice and Commerce departments, the District of Columbia and Congress itself for the fiscal year which began last July 1. Congress also sent to President Johnson an $817 million river basin authorization bill, legislation requiring that imported goods bear a label identifying the country of origin even if they are repackaged for U.S. sale, and a measure authorizing issuance of a 50-cent piece bearing a likeness of President Kennedy. Johnson Expects News Sessions To Be Flexible WASHINGTON (UPI)--President Johnson, doing "what comes naturally," expects to hold many more impromptu- style news conferences in the future.

The White House press corps was waiting in the lobby outside Press Secretary Pierre Salinger's office for their regular midday briefing Wednesday when they were summoned by Salinger. "We're going to have a press Salinger a nounced, and in no time at all newsmen found themselves in the President's office clustered around his desk. Johnson, asked if he planned to continue the informal note in future news conference, said, "1 would say that we are going to maintain an adequate flow of information to the press at all times in the best manner that we can. We will do what comes naturally. "Maybe it will be a meeting of this kind today; maybe a televised meeting tomorrow, with maybe a coffee session the next day.

We don't want to be too rigid. We always want to be flexible." Johnson's easy, informal manner shows to best advantage at the impromptu news conference. Standing or sitting behind his desk as Ihe mood struck him, he fielded the newsmen's questions with apparent ease Wednesday, pausing only now and then to consult notes or to check a figure or a fact. 3 Broken Lens Occur in Chain Reaction Crash STAUNTON What started out to be a minor accident on U.S. Highway 66 during Tuesday night's snow storm ended in three broken lees and a shoulder injury suffered by a State Trooper, a doctor and a truck driver, when another auto was pushed into them.

Firemen rushed to the home about 11:15. but the blast had caused no fire. Mrs. Volrab, the only occupant of the home at the time of the mishap, said the cause of the sudden puff which shook the ranch-style home was a corroded pilot light, which caused gas to back up into the furnace. "It frightened me more than anything," Mrs.

Volrab said. "Suddenly the Christmas decorations started falling off the walis and the Christmas cards fell down, and I thought I'd had it" An Illinois Power Company Crew was working this afternoon to repair the faulty pilot light, he said.

Even without the tinsel and holly, the Library staff would know it was the month of December.

The busyness of the season interrupts the hest readers, as fewer books are checked out for sheer enjoyment and time-killing. Even the youngsters are affected, except where deadlines of reference work and specific outside reading are involved. The Library will close at 5 o'clock on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. "Library Notes" wishes all its readers a Merry Christmas, and the column will be resumed after the holidays. Educator Speaks Here Tonight Richard G.
