The probers did say that, so far, they have not uncovered any evidence of arson. Fire, police and medical officials all amazement that the fasts spreading blaze did not claim more lives. Nearly 100 guests were trapped by flames and choking smoke on the upper three floors and escaped only through spectacular heroics by firemen.

They were snatched from windows on three sides of the eight-story structure and brought down to safety over a forest of aerial ladders. Among the 200 who fled were the 70 members of the road-show cast of "The Sound of Music." Some of these were at a party on the sixth floor. The hotel is on Massachusetts ay. near Boylston st. in the Back Bay.

The sixth floor was entirely burned out. The heat was so intense that even heavy doors were consumed. At least 15 rooms were destroyed. Dr. Richard Ford, medical examiner, said, "It must have been a terribly hot fire.

The temperature was at least 2000 degrees. When the people opened the doors to the corridor to try to escape, that is when they died." The loss was set at $100,000, but smoke and water damage will bring the figure much higher. The victims included a couple who had come from Ecuador to have their 5-year-old daughter treated for a hip injury.

WASHINGTON Former President Eisenhower came out fighting against President Kennedy's new budget Friday with a fearful warning of dire events if it is not cut by some $13 billion. Cambridge detectives theorized he may have been the victim of a loan shark "enforcer." But a quick check also revealed: He is known to have once worked with a man who has been questioned in connection with the $1.5 million Plymouth Tail robbery. He is known to have associated with at least two others who have been under surveillance by postal agents. Cambridge police investigating the murder also requested additional postal circulars in the hope that they may help to determine the identity of One of the participants of the robbery, known as The postal truck drivers Department of Anthropology at Brandeis, have resigned their posts, effective in June, in protest of Dr.

Sachar's reprimand. The faculty arrived at its conclusions after almost six hours behind closed doors on Thursday and Friday. The faculty statement did not say Sachar's reprimand did abridge academic freedom. "The resignation of Dr. Aber le has prevented a clear test of the issue," the statement said.

It referred both to the reprimand and to Mrs. Aberle's charge that she had received an unusually small increase in salary because of the speech.

Felix Santos, wife of the Ecuadorian consul in Boston, came to the phone. "Does she know yet?" she was asked. "Have you told her?" Mrs. Santos' voice cracked with emotion. "No," she replied, "she doesn't know.

She keeps asking for her mother." Five-year-old Maria Elena Jijon, who has a congenhal hip condition was orphaned early Friday in the fire that swept the upper floors of the Sherry Biltmore Hotel. Fabian J. Jijon, 40, ond his wife, Dolores, had brought the dark-eyed youngster here from Quito. Ecuador, in hope that surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital could perform corrective surgery. She was in the hospital undergoing tests and awaiting the operation when her parents died.

She could not understand Friday why they did not come to see her. Lonely, unable to speak English, she wept. Later Mrs. Santos arrived and took her home to Brookline. The girl's grandparents, caring for a second child back in Quito, have been notified and are coming here for Elena, Mrs.

Santos said. Their consent will be needed if the hip surgery is to be attempted. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 BEARDED AT 11? LONDON (Reuters)United States customs officials recently uncovered the bust of an elderly bearded man which was sold to an American tourist labelled "Bast of TennysonCirca 1820." In 1820 the poet was 11 years old. The British Treasury Department and, customs service Thursday said unscrupulous antique dealers were palming off British-made fakes on Americans. A British dealer who had a contract with a London refuse department shipped bric-a-brac discarded by London housewives to the United States under the guise of antiques.

The dealer had first choice from the municipal garbage collections, the department said. The United States allows genuine antiques to be imported duty free, but charges duty on fakes. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Leff testified Mar. 2 that he could not recall if he had ever heard of any such civic organization. Nor could he remember whether he had ever asked Banner to make a contribution.

He said Friday that since then "I have had occasion to review this matter with people I work with, and apparently I was wrong. "If Mr. Banner says I talked with him and he sent a check, I'm not going to argue with him."

Lefts statements were made under oath before the special House committee investigating racing. His testimony was at variance with that given earlier by other witnesses. Rep. George W.

Halleck Gen Eisenhower wrote: "If the government is to accept deliberately a massive deficit and then simultaneously embark upon lavish new spending and a huge tax cut the nation is headed for trouble. If we do this we will convict ourselves of fiscal recklessness and a failure to heed the plain lessons of history." The former President, writing from Palm Desert, pictured "a vast wasteland of debt and financial chaos" as the legacy for the youth of America "if we irresponsibly keep on passing to them our bills. "Of course, there is no compulsion upon us to be so foolish. I believe the new spending programs in the pending budget can be drastically reduced without hurting a single essential function and still leave the level of Federal operation billions higher than I thought necessary only two years ago.

Nonetheless the US. Friday morning sent a note to Cuba demanding a "full explanation" of the incident. Led by Florida members, whose state is under the guns of Castro Cuba, congressmen spoke angrily over the shooting.

Demands ranged from reimposition of the "quarantine" blockade of last Fall to calls for Navy and Air escort of U.S. merchant ships in the area. And one member demanded an investigation to find out why it reportedly took U. S. fighterse 55 minutes to reach 'They Fired 30-40 Shots' "They must have fired 30 or 40 shots at us during those ten minutes," a West Roxbury man told the Globe Friday night.

Donald P. Fisher, 35, of 51 Redlands the radioman aboard the S.S. Floridian, said, "When we saw those jets burst out of the clouds, fire at us, and then swing back on us again we just couldn't believe it. The crew was stunned because were just not used to being fired at." Fisher said, "It's the first time I ever had to send an SOS because we were under attack. I hope it's the last." 'Less than an hour before his ship left Miami for the return trip to Puerto Rico he gave this eyewitness account in a telephone interview: "It was about 5:45 p.m.

The probers said it appeared obvious that all funds received by the committee ended up in Furcolo's campaign kitty. John Banner, treasurer of the Tr-County Fair, testified that he was approached by Leff in 1959 and asked to make a contribution. He could recall no mention by Leff of the scholarship fund.

Brandeis Pres. Abram Sachar says his faculty cer with him on his reprimand of Mrs. Aber le for her statements on Cuba, but the.action stands because it was based on this idea: scholars have a right to free expression but there is also a "responsibility (which) a scholar owes his institution."
