(AP) Suspicions tliat three pre-dawn fires last spring at Cornell Umver- including one that claimed itine lives, were the work of an a i were strengthened Thursday by the discover)- that a combustible substance was near the origin of the fires. Police Chief Herbert Van Ostrand said a Canadian chemist hired by his department had found the remains of a "fluid accelerant" in all three structures at a point the flames had burned strongest.

Previous laboratory tests had Narcotics law ruled failed to indicate such a male- rial was present. Fire Chief Charles Weaver said last June that he suspected "a crime, or crimes, had been committed here." The sites of all the fires, two dormitories and an off-campus student residence, housed fresh- members of an experimental program leading to Doctor of Philosophy degrees in six years. The first fire occurred April 5 at the Cornell Residential Club, a three-story dormitory. Eight students and a faculty ad- viser were fatally overcome by dense smote that spread from a basement lounge up open stairwells to all parts of the building. A fire May 23 damaged a first-floor lounge at Watermar- gin House, a dormitory housing members of the special class who had escaped the earlier fire.

The last fire, June 3, damaged a three-story private residence near the campus that housed other members of the special class. Van Ostrand said he could not identify the Canadian demist or the highly flammable, "commonplace" substance until an arrest had been made. The chief declined to speculate further on the course of tht vestigation. He did tell reporters "the accelerant was a very commonplace, cheap, easily agent that could have produced the toxic smoke blamed for the deaths in the Residential Club fire." The material leaves practically no trace, he said. illegal NEW YORK (AP) Slate Supreme Court Justice Samuel A Spiegel Thursday declared unconstitutional the procedure adopted in New York State for the involuntary commitment of alleged narcotics addict under the recently enacted addiction control law.

In a ruling, Spiegel ordered the release of a 24-year- old Manhattan man who had been confined involuntarily in a state narcotics hospital. He ruled that the freed man had not been accorded his con- Btitutional rights to counsel before the confinement procedure was initiated, and that he had been compelled to be a witness against himself The decision was believed by veteran court observers to be the first of its kind that applied io a civil case the constitutional protection ordered in a landmark Supreme Court ruling on defendants in criminal cases. In the federal ruling, Miranda TS. Arizona, criminal charges against a defendant were dis- 'mined because he had not been tdvised to advance of right to counsel. On July 14, State Supreme Court Justice Wilfred Waltem- ade ruled the program did not violate the federal constitution.

laid me involved were civil not criminal. His ruling came In a case brought by Richard Spad- tora, a 21-year- old Bronx man who was committed to a treatment center at the request of his mother. Spiegel described the Intent of tht state law as commendable "trail blazing legislation to aid the addict and society." He also praised Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and the state Legislature for implementing the measure with "an adequate budget." But he added, "in our paternalistic efort to accomplish a compulsory rehabilitation, we cannot ignore the simple fact that a sick addict has the same inherent constitutional rights and is entitled to the same due process and protection afforded to all healthy people in our democacry." Travia snubs session State officials focus on 'urban crisis' MARSHAL TITO Tito confident after session Arabs ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) President Tito of Yugoslavia said Thursday he had found understanding among all the Arab leaden he had talked with on the necessity of a political settlement of the Middle East crisis.

Tito had a brief meeting with, newsmen after talking in private with President Gamal Abdel Nasser for more than two hours at the Has el Tin Palace. He did not disclose details of any agreement reached during his visit but said: "I would not like to enter into details because in due course you will hear about Tito said he was returning home with optimism. He is concluding a seven-day visit to Egypt, Syria and Iraq. He was reported to have brought with him a formula for Middle East peace that Nasser turned down. "The situation at present is in an impasse," Tito commented.

"We came in the first place to hear the views leaders whom we met and see what should be Tito said that in coming to the Arab countries he knew the attitude of the big. powers and he wanted to outline atitude for "further action." He is said to have received a message from President Johnson before leaving for Cairo. ALBANY (AP) Gov. Rockefeller and five other government leaders agreed on an "urban crisis" program Thursday at a meeting marked by Assembly Speaker Anthony J. Travia's refusal to participate.

Travia, the Legislature's rank- Ing Democrat, said he abstained because the Republican governor had put the gathering "in a political light." Later, after outlining the 21- point program to newsmen, Rockefeller said Travia's reaction was "an unfortunate misunderstanding" because the proposals were "not partisan issues." "I don't have any question hut that Mr. Travia, when he goes over this list, will be in complete support of the items on it." Among the conferees was the State Senate's Democratic minority leader, Joseph Zaretzki, who said he regarded the proposals, simply as devices for implementing President Johnson's; program for easing racial tensions in urban areas. Among other things, the Rockefeller meeting agreed to: with private enterprise in "com. vention to approve "appropriate authority" for the state to join, with pribate enterprise in "comprehensive community development projects," to' improve housing, commercial, industrial, cultural and recreational facilities. The state would be permitted to make.

low-cost loans to small businesses in need of more operating capital. --Develop a program under which the, state would give tax incentives to industry to encourage businesses to locate in slum areas and train potential em- ployes. The Legislature's approval would be needed. Request the Education Department to develop- "supplementary aids" for slum area schools, for action by the Legislature. Rockefeller acknowledged that this could be a costly the Education and Labor Department and local government authorities to provide more vocational training schools, with no ceiling on the age of those eligible for the program.

Recommend establishing more "Urban College Centers" in slum areas. This would-be done through the State University. Take steps to expand throughout the state an aid program under which the state now pays, in New York City only, half the cost of enforcing building, housing and safety codes. Increase the size of the State Police force and provide more assistance in training of local police forces. Include funds in the next budget to establish "information centers" throughout the state "to increase awareness of state services available to citizens." Rockefeller said he could not estimate the total cost of carrying out the program, since much depended on what the Constitutional Convention would do and how much money Congress would vote for federal participation New Yorkers flock to divorce mills ALBANY, N.Y.

(AP) Signs are that some New Yorkers are heading for so called divorce mills in Mexico in an effort to gain their marital freedom before the state's new divorce law goes into full effect Sept. 1. The small scale exodus apparently is by fears that the legality of the easily obtained Mexican divorces will be in question, if the divorce is obtained after the new law becomes operative. This is based on a provision in the law which opens the door for a charge.of fraud if a New Yorker re establishes residency in this state within 18 months after obtaining an out-of-state divorce. Out-ofstate divorces, including those- granted in Mexico, awarded before the Sept.

1 deadline will be absolutely valid under terms of the law. Only for those granted after the law goes into efect would the fraud possibility arise if the divorced person returns to live in the state within a year and a half.
