UFI-- Al arson-suspected fire roared through more than 5,000 acres brush and timber yesterday In the Sierra about 35 miles east of here.

State and federal firefighters were hopeful the blaze, dubbei the White Deer fire, would be controlled by tonight. Some 1,000 firefighters were called in to battle the flames along with two helicopters and nine airplanes. Sequoia National Forest officials reported the destroyed 600 acres of reproduction timber and l.ROt acres of mature timber. Tim only structure destroyed by the flames was a wooden storagn building at Delilah lookout tower. The lookout was evacuatec Sunday by Mrs.

Attachments Given Cuba Ship Priority NORFOLK, federal judge said yesterday he will not consider letting Cuba claim sovereign Immunity over a merchant ship brought here in a reverse mutiny until the Coast Guard allows U.S. marshals to post attachment notices on the vessel. U.S. District Judge Walter E.

Hoffman took under advisement the question of whether the Coast Guard has a right to continue to prevent the marshals from boarding the ship, the Bahla De Nipe, which the capialn and 10 crewmen diverted here at gunpoint to seek asylum from Fidel Castro's government. At least four claims have hern filed in court against the ship. "This Is not cerneri with sovereign Immunity," Hoffman MM. U.S. Attorney Francis X.

Davis, representing the State Department, asked sovereign Immunity over the ship to permit its release. The State Department wants to release the motor vessel which has lain at anchor off Cape Henry here since Thursday when it made its unscheduled "freedom stop." The vessel's Capt. Jorge Navarro, said he and 10 crewmen locked up 23 "untrust- worthy" crewmen to divert tli ship to Norfolk from its schec uled to iron curtai ports in the Baltic. The ship carries 5,000 tons of sugar. Navarro said he has askec President Kennedy to hold th ship as ransom for the familie of his 10 defecting crewmen.

Hoffman told the State De partment attorney the court does not have (he vessel and cannot the question of Immunity. "If you had let the deput marshal go aboard with tha iillle piece of paper (attach ment notice) then we coul 'consider immunity," Hoffman said. Davis said the Coast Guard iy i to let anyon ward the ship, was defendini J.S. rights under federal law. WHOLESALE CLEARANCE Texture One-Eleven SALE ENDS AUS.

Here in the Institute of Gas Technology, Professor Miller demonstrates a fuel cell that has been experimentally producing electricity from natural gas for over a year. Says Professor Miller: "This fuel cell is like a super storage battery that never needs recharging. It'runs on natural gas and air. It has no moving parts, makes no noise. "Fuel cells potentially: may The most mocSem power plant todayis about efficient, a sleam engine an automobile, of ten less than 25 No wonder scores of laboratories here in the United States, in Russia, and in England are making fuel cells.

"Fuel cells are still in the stage. Con-, siderable work must be done to make them smaller and more' powerful. But great progress is being made." The July 1960 Reader's Digest told of an all-electric tractor.run by'fuel cells. Built by Allis Chalmers, it plowed fields on a tank of bottled gas. Today, Allis Chalmers says it can make a tractor with fuel cells 18 times more efficient than-those built less than 2 years ago.

Today experimental fuel cells are operating.radar, equipment for the Marines, and space generators for the Air Force. The.Navy has reported to Congress that it plans to run submarines on fuel cells. Shell and Lockheed have predicted fuel cell autos by 1965.
