I 4 THE POST-vSTANDARD, June 1970 Eight Die Upstate in Two Fires By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Eight persons, including a former volunteer fireman and his four little perished in two fires in Western New York late Sunday night and early Monday, Firemen said faulty wiring set off a fire that engulfed the former fireman's home in Castile, 50 miles southwest of Rochester Sunday night. Bernard Pleace, 29, and his 'daughters Cheryll Ann, 7, Lynn, 5, Mari Anne, 4, and Patricia Ann, 3, were killed. In the Village of Lancaster near Buffalo a woman and her 14-year-old daughter jumped through windows of their ranch style home to escape flames that killed the woman's invalid husband, sister and another Killed were Johnny -C. Smith', 58, who had been confined to a wheelchair; Patiann Henderson, 38, his sister-in-law; and Harvey J. Kindal, 58.

Smith's wife, who leaped from a bedroom: window, was admitted to St. Joseph Intercommu- nity Hospital in fair condition with burns of the face and hand. Her daughter, Sharon, jumped from a bathroom window and escaped harm. A police official said it was "not a fire of suspicious origin, but we are puzzled by the speed with which it spread through the house." A witness said, "It looked like the whole place blew into Cosmonauts Aloft For Record Time MOSCOW (AP) nauts Andrian Nikolayev and Vitaly Sevastyanov set a space 4 endurance record Monday but the Soviet Union failed to claim it immediately and official news media remained silent. The display of modesty was unusual, since the Russians are usually very quick to propagandize their space feats, particularly when they break records set by the Americans.

The record of 13 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes was set by Gemini 7 in 1965. The Soviet So- yiiz 9 spacecraft passed this mark at 9:35 a.m. EDT, Shortly before this, the official news agency Tass announced the craft's third orbit change since it was launched around the earth June 1. Its only comment was: "The flight contin- FREE UNTIL NEW TRIAL.

The fire at Castile erupted while Pleace, formerly a volunteer fireman in North Java, was in his trailer home at a trailer park with his daughters.

orbit, the solitary flight has been singularly unspectacular. But while they haven't grabbed many headlines, the cosmonauts are believed to have compiled valuable data that will help Soviet scientists in their long-range space goal- constructing an orbiting launch pad for deep space probes. Soviet television viewers have been treated to glimpses of Ni- kolayev and Sevastyanov play- ling chess and resting in their mahogany-furnished space capsule. Despite these casual scenes, Tass reported their working day "lasts for 16 hours and is notable for strenuous activity." They appear to have two main duties--perfecting manual navigation techniques without assistance from ground control and a continuing program of medical tests to see how the human body stands up to extended space flight. "the crew of the spaceship has been in flight for 14 Tass said.

"Under conditions of long weightlessness, the cosmonauts have carried out a great number of scientific, technical and medical experiments. The news agency reported Soyuz 9 had completed 220 orbits around- the earth by 6 a.m. EDT, It added they carried out their third orbit correction maneuver in the 208th orbit "under both manual and automatic control The craft is now circling the earth every 88.8 -minutes in ah orbit ranging from 144 miles to 134 miles above the earth's surface.

N.Y. (UPI)- The Court of Appeals ruled unconstitutional Monday the 1970 law giving incumbents the top line in the primary election ballot in New York City. In a 5-2 decision, the state's highest court upheld lower court findings that there was "no rational basis" for the law, and that it gave undue advantage to incumbents. The challenge was brought by Elizabeth Holtzman of New York City on behalf of several reform Democrats who claimed the law was intended to benefit regular organization candidates. The ruling means that primary candidates will have to be ranked by lot, as has been done in all other areas of the i state.
