The latest a reached early Sunday, was between tine carriers and the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks, the largest of the four unions. Still unresolved is a contract settlement involving the United Transportation Union, which represents 90,000 workers.

(UPI) AJ small storage building owned by the Austin Powder Co. in nearby Boswell, Somerset County, was destroyed by fire during the weekend. Boswell Fire Chief Ralph Ber- suhn said the building, a converted railroad station, contained about five tons of ammonium nitrate, a colorless, crystalline salt used in making some types of explosives. Bersuhn said Boswell resi-. dents were alerted to the dan-! ger of a possible explosion but none was evacuated.

The fire chief said firemen from Boswell, Somerset and Jennerstown brought the blaze under control in a little over two hours. Cause of the Saturday night fire was undetermined. Bersuhn declined to estimate damages. 24 Persons Killed By Roaming Tigers KHULNA, East Pakistan (UPD--Man-eating tigers of the Sundarban forest have killed at least 24 persons and injured several others during the past four months, according to reports received by the divisional forest officer of Khulna, Ajmal Hossain, Sentenced to Life In Pen for Murder Of Bedford Girl, 12 BEDFORD, Pa. (UPI) David Cruthers, 23, Cumberland, has been sentenced to life in prison for the September, 1970 slaying of a 12-year-old Bedford County girl.

Cruifchers, employed summers at the Bedford Springs Hotel, pleaded guilty Monday to a general charge of murder in the slaying of Kelly Jo Brailier near her Bedford home. Judge Richard C. Snyder handed down the sentence yesterday after hearing testimony in a non-jury trial. Police said the girl was on her way to a friend's house when she was killed last Sept. 12.

Her battered body was found in a rural area near her home.

and area be- the hotel and Market Basket Food Store to the point where much of the hpselines soon became next to invisible. The thermometer, already in the teens before the fire erupted, covered men and equ'pment with coats of ice; jackets froze, raincoats became as stiff as well hardened concrete. A i a communications system kept confusion from entering the ranks of the firefighters and gave men a chance to get off the line and go to nearby stores, cafes or other places to warm up and get a cup of coffee relief crews stepped in to fill the gap and play water on the unyielding blaze until were relieved. West Penn Power Colum- )ia Gas Co. and Connellsville Water.

Co. crews were dis- satched to cut off utilities leading into the structure, the live wires giving the firemen no ittle concern and forcing them use far more than just extra caution in playing streams of water through the broken out windows praying the streams would not hit a high, live power ine. When water lines plus the open hearth like conditions on third floor failed to crack ihe windows, firemen had to bottles, rocks or bricks some of the windows order to get the water into building. One volunteer fireman a veteran firefighter and first aid man himself highly praised Connellsville's fire chief in nandling the entire conflagration from the start and commenting: "I often wonder if the people of Connellsville fully realize or appreciate what have in Gerry. It's easy to go down there (meaning the hotel area) and see a lot of damage.

But when you consider what was saved that -could have easily been lost to flames had they not been confined by good efficient cooperation of men and stationing, then you have something to think of that a lot of people don't take into consideration or just take for granted." A large number of Bullskin Township firemen who came to town with their apparatus to man the South Connellsville fire station were brought to the fire scene and put on the line with their fellow volunteers from the borough, the city, Connellsville Township and the paid firemen. Management of Quality Department Store made that facility available to firemen for a coffee break and a rest spot as well as unrestricted use of the store's telephone. Baker credited the citv's ownership and presence of the 65-foot aerial ladder truck which gave firemen a chance to get above the fire with the principal factor in saving the lames from leaping over to the roof of neighboring Swan's warehouse on East Peach St. "There was no way in the world we could have that third floor, but we could and did confine the blaze to that section of the building, prevent- it from working downward and keeping the sparks from shooting eastward and igniting the warehouse roof," Baker observed. From outward appearances tiurins the height of the fire was believed by many that ihe second floor of the hotel was also wrecked.

But, upon later examination Sunday, it was learned that much on that floor can be-salvaged. Some windows were broken out, and quite a bit of water and smoke got into that area as well as into the first floor. Several off-duty policemen returned to duty without being called out and a large force of Connellsville Auxiliary Police donned uniform top coats and caps and went on duty to help control traffic and keep the spectators out of the way of firemen. The intense cold while it hampered fremen did serve to keep the crowd to a minimum. Finally, after more than seven struggling against the extremes of searing hot flames and bitter cold weather, firemen succeeded in knocking down virtually all cf the flames, bul left one pumper on the spol with one hose line until midmorning Sunday.

It was after midnight, Baker said, when the aerial ladder track was taken off the line and removed to the city garage And, its journey there was no easy task. Firemen could do nothing more than swivel the extended ladder around to its -traight-line position and lower it, leaving the ladder fully ex tended because ice had cake the shafts shut where the sec- t'ons could not be compressed It took more than hour at the city garage for firemen and city street a personnel to thaw out the extended ladder, chip off the he coating, and clear the tracks of the ladder sections and dry them so they could be pullec together.

This morning a spokesman 'or Swan's Appliance Co. said the building had suffered some smoke and water damage, but otherwise "we were fortunate with it all." South Connellsville firemen had two booster lines hooked up and laid on the warehouse's third floor, "just in case" and firemen stayed there for more fian five hours on fire guard, iome smoke did get into stored bedding on the third floor and a little water did get into the warehouse office space that was nearest the burning building.

However, the warehouse was open for business today with conditions virtually close to normal. Unofficial reports placed the number of tenants in the hotel at 42, all of whom escaped uninjured. A large number of them lost all of their belongings while some were able to carry some possessions with them. Sunday morning some of those who lived on the second floor were given access to their rooms to salvage clothing and other items. One South Connellsville fireman, Joseph Knight, 26, of 1117 West Gibson was injured when he fell while fighting the flames.

He was treated in the emergency room of Connellsville State General Hospital at 10:25 p.m. for soreness of the right hip and groin.

Six men died Sunday in the Pittsburgh area while shoveling inches of new snow. A Maryland man was killed in a two-car collision in upstate New York as visibility dropped to zero because of blowing and drifting snow. Syracuse, N.Y., Mayor Lee Alexander declared a snow emergency and continued it when ice-coated tree limbs fell and cut major power lines, affecting 10,000 area residents.

A 134-mile stretch of the New York Thruway was closed Saturday night when the snowfall was at its peak. The Buffalo to-Syracuse route was not reopened until late Sunday morning and other highways in the western part of the state remained closed most of the day. A snowmobile rally near Syracuse was canceled because there was too much snow and many churches called off services. Thousands of motorists were forced to seek temporary shelter as gusting winds drifted highways full of snow nearly as fast as plows opened them. Occasional snow still was falling late Sunday, with three inches in a six-hour period reported at Syracuse.

Further west, the Boston Common looked like spring had arrived as couples strolled leisurely, walking their dogs. The sun shone brightly and fog and rain earlier in the weekend had melted most of the winter's accumulation of snow.
