THK DAILY MAIL, Hagerstown, Md Monday, Oct. 15, 1973 1,100 Homeless In Boston Fire By ROBERT MEDEIROS Asuciilcd Prasi Writer CHELSEA, Mass. (AP) A wind-fed fire that raced across 20 blocks of wooden tenements and small has left 1,100 persons homeless in this rundown Boston suburb. Four firemen fighting the blaze were hospitaliied for smoke inhalation. One was in poor condition, the other three fair.

Two others were treated for smoke inhalation and released. No deaths were reported. About 500 National Gnardmcn roped off the desolate, charred 'expanse of the oldest section of the city, which was destroyed Sunday when a fire devoured dozens of crumbling buildings. The homeless, most of them Spanish-speaking, blacks and elderly Jews, sought shelter with relatives and in a make- shift dormitory set up in an armory. "1 have lost everything!" said Henry Wogciechowski, 49.

"It's a crying shame. AH the people who live in the stricken area are poor people. Just look at all these people standing around crying! They have no place to go from here." Residents of the estimated 60 dwelling places destroyed rushed through the streets ahead of the blaze, carrying plastic bags and suitcases stuffed with belongings. At the height, of the blaze, which officials said apparently slarted in an abandoned rag storage building, 3,000 to 4,000 persons were evacuated from their homes. Sparks leaped from building to building as gusts up to 50 miles an hour swept across Boston Harbor.

"This is a conflagration of 1 epic proportions," said Fire- Chief Herbert C. Fothergill. "A conflagration such this one creates its own winds of hurricane force." The fire cut a path a half mile wide through the decaying industrial section of the community of 32,000. Many of the industries were small businesses (hat reclaimed scrap metal, rags and tires. Much of the area had been demolition through urban renewal.

About half of the 20-block area was leveled. The rest was a jumble of stark building skeletons and smoldering utility poles. The fire, which broke out about 4 p.m., was contained at a railroad right of way about five hours later. But it continued to burn today. Policemen with dogs roamed the area to guard against looters.

Nixon To Soon Learn If Justices He Named Now Agree With Him By DONALD M. ROTHBERG WASHINGTON (AP) Five years ago when Richard M. Nixon was elected President, one of his principal goals was to reshape the Supreme Court Analysis to bring it into line with his own interpretations of the Constitution. He'll soon learn how successful he's been in appointing justices who agree with his views of separation of powers and executive privilege. For the Supreme Court now judicial support for his argu ment that under the Con stitution, only he has the au thority to say whether the tape of his conversations about th Watergate scandal can turned over to a federal grani jury.

Democratic Chairman Cites GOP Lawlessness By BILL STALL Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) -Democratic leaders have can tioned their party not to expect a windfall of congressional seats next year from Watergate and the Spiro T.

Agnew case. National Chair- F. Strauss pro- Democratic man Robert dieted Sunday that Democrats would pick up two to four Senate seats and five or six House seats in the 1974 congressional elections. Strauss appeared at the 1973 Western States Democratic Conference over the weekend. The main goal of 1974 is to enhance Democratic majorities in Congress in hopes of blunting President Nixon's veto power, party strategists said.

Strauss did say that Democrats should benefit indirectly from Watergate and the resignation of Agnew, who pleaded no contest to a charge of income tax evasion. Republicans der" issue they have used sue cessfuliy for the past six years Strauss said. "There never' was a more lawless band than there was in the White House," he said in an interview. Strauss added Ameri cans should not be deceivec into thinking that Agnew re- vice presidency of service to his signed the out merely country. "I refuse to buy this posture they are trying to put him in as this brave, heroic, self-sacrificing man who resigned in the nation's interests," he said.

Strauss did not identify "they," but when Agnew resigned, Nixon commended him for his "concern for the national interest." Strauss said, "He didn't serve this nation. He held the welfare of this nation' in one land and bargained for his freedom. I find nothing heroic, nothing brave, and nothing to no longer have the "law and or-serve the nation in that. 'Miracle Drugs' May Not Cope With New Strains ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) Sev- Although Gangarosa says eral "miracle drugs" that have reduced disease in the pasl may not be able to cope with new strains of gonorrhea, typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis and shigellosis, the Center for Disease Control says.

The diseases have grown immune to antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, stretomy- cin, tetracycline and other drugs, recent studies by the CDC show. "Thank goodness we have not seen any resistance developed in cholera or bubonic plague," says Dr. Eugene Gangarosa, head of the CDC's epidemiology branch. Doctors at the Atlanta-based center already have noted that a new typhoid strain in Mexico does not respond to any kind of drug treatment. Medical personnel in Mexico have been fighting a raging typhoid epidemic for more than two years, and their problems have been compounded by the drug-resistant typhoid.

And the bacteria that causes gonorrhea has shown the ability to develop resistance to penicillin to the point where the new dosage level is about eight fimes the amount originally required to combat the malady. plague and cholera have not developed resistance, the possibility of their doing so in the future cannot be ruled out. Cost Of Dying Up 41 Per Cent In Ten Years CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) The cost of living is climbing Taster than the cost of dying, the president of the National Funeral Directors Association says. Raoul Pinette, 47. of Lewis As President, Nixon has had the opportunity to name four men to the Supreme Court.

Each he said he had sought a man he regarded as a "strict constructionist," one who would not read into the Constitution powers beyond those expressly included by the original trainers. the appeals court said the President's lawyers were trying to the Constitution" with their claim that he was immune from court orders. The Constitution makes, no mention of special presidential immunities," the five-judge majority said in its opinion "Indeed, the executive branch generally is afforded none. This silence cannot be ascribed the oversight." Both the courts and special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox also seem to have stolen another of the President's favorite themes) law and order. Cox has hit hard in his arguments on the theme that the are evidence in a grand ury investigation of possible criminal activity.

Again and again, the special prosecutor las said "the grand jury has a right to every man's evidence," and, "the highest executive of? "icials, like all citizens, are sub- ect to the rule of law."

Communists Capture Post In Vietnam SAIGON (AP) The Viet Cong has captured 'a government position in the Bach Ma area near Hue, the former imperial capital.

A Viet Cong spokesman said the Communist troops decimated a force of about 200 ien. But a South Vietnamese spokesman said the outpost on Hue's outer defense perimeter was abandoned by about 60 men last'Friday after 11 hours of heavy shelling. He said two government soldiers were killed and 11 were wounded. A Viet Cong spokesman, Capl. Phuong Nam, said the Bach Ma area had been controlled by the Viet until last April when the South Vietnamese troops moved in.

He said the Saigon forces took the outpost May 25. The Saigon command reported 91 more cease-fire violations.

Key institutions suffering in appeal were big business, with a "great deal" or "quite a lot" confidence rating of only 26 per cent, and labor unions with a 30 per cent confidence rating. In the area of government, Gallup surveys have recorded a sharp decline over the last 22 months in the proportion of Americans who.

say they are satisfied the way the nation is being governed. A December 1971 survey revealed that 37 per cent of those interviewed were satisfied with the governing of tbe country, compared to the latest sampling which showed a 26 per cent rating, a decline of 11 per cent. The Watergate scandal is apparently a major factor in the drop in confidence. A recent Gallup study showed that 67 per cent of the American public felt reduced their confidence in the federal government "a great deal" or 'somewhat." According to Gallup officials, of the unsolved societal problems that have irked Americans, the most major are high prices, "dissatisfaction with government," "corruption in fact that during the early 1960s'governmenl" and crime.
