The nursing staff rescued seven of the men, but one died later. The other' six suffered minor injuries. One of the dead patients was 16 years old and the rest were described as middle-aged. Most djejdjn their bedsbut the main doors were said, to have been unlocked at the time of the blaze. About 325 patients were in other buildings of the hospital.

The fire occurred in the Winfrith Villa, a wing which opened nine months ago. Dr. Peter Johnson, chairman of the hospital management committee, said the most severely handicapped of the male paitents were kept there. Johnson said investigators had no idea yet what caused the fire. He said the fircfighting equipment in the wing was "perfectly adequate." "It was a very, rapid fire, with a great deal of smoke," he added.

Cold Harbor Hospital is spread over 24 acres and is a former navy hospital. It is near the center of a market town of 8 0 0 0 residents in Dorset, southwest England. the party who also ran, former Foreign Ministers Takeo Miki and Masayoshi Ohira, stood out for change. When they were knocked out on the first ballot, they threw their support by advance agreement to Tanaka. Tanaka made a brief, restrained acceptance speech stressing that unity of the party must continue.

He has said viously that he would give his major attention to repairing the frayed relations with the United States and to bringing about diplomatic relations with Communist China. Japan's conqueror in 1945, then its benevolent occupier and friend, the United States dominated Japanese political life for a quarter of a century. Whatever the United States wanted, it usually got, including mushrooming trade, support for the Nationalist Chinese regime on Taiwan and official boycott of the Chinese Communists. The crunch came when Japan achieved a favorable balance of trade with the United States and steadily widened it with a river "of low-cost, highfliiality goods poured onto the American market.

The other is the alleged slayer. By JOHN RODERICK Associated Press Writer (AP) Japan's ruling conservatives today named Kakuei Tanaka, a dynamic rags-to-riches construction man turned politician, to be prime minister with a mandate for bold new approaches to the United States and China.

"The liberal democratic Party in effect turned its back on the cautious establishment politics of Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, who is retiring at 71. It decisively rejected, the bid of his protege, 67-y ear-old Foreign Minister Takeo Fukudaj to sijeceed him. kanaka, at 54 the youngest' prime minister since 1945, won the party presidency and with it leadership of the gov-tfSqment at a convention of the party's njambers in the Diet, the Japanese parliament. The vote on the' second runoff bijllot was 282-190, with four blank votes. 'The Diet will meet tomorrow to confirm as prime minister for a term, a formality since the party has a sizable majority in both houses.

He ir expected to announce his cabinet on fftday. CTanaka's victory resulted from growing" restlessness within the party over Sato's inability to cope with the problems of thina, the United States and mounting domestic difficulties. Little change would have been expected had Tukuda been cEosen. he leaders df two powerful factions in Food States and Japan, having served both as Minister of Finance and as. Minister of-International Trade and Industry.

His qualifications for negotiating with China are not as clearcut. But it seems likely that his cabinet will include Miki, who has made his mark with the Chinese on several visits. Tanaka appears to share Miki's conviction that a new peace treaty has to be worked out with Peking to replace the 1952 pact with Chiang Nationalist regime. That is one of Peking's conditions for rapproche-ment. Short, dynamic and outspoken, Tanaka was the son of a poor horse farmer turned carpenter.

He did not go beyond high school, served in the army during the war as a cavalryman, got out because of illness and started a small construction business in Tokyo. As his business prospered, he studied law at nights and made his debut in politics at the age of 28, winning a Diet seat in 1947. He first made the cabinet in 1958, as minister of postal services, and at 39 was the youngest minister in recent history. prices up again Angry talk combined with American restrictions soured the old relationship, and relations are still strained despite a vfslt last month by presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. President Nixon's unexpected rapprochement with Peking without prior consultation with its chief Asian ally, also hit Sato in the political jaw and weakened his standing within the country and the Spassky rebukes (Continued from Page 1) suited Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title.

The statement demanded that Fischer be punished. However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punishment. "What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the corner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not comment on the Soviet statement. 1 In New York, E.

An-Associated Press survey of "about two dozen cities shows that grocery bills particularly for the better cuts of beef and for pork have increased anywhere from a dime a pound on up in the two weeks since the latest warning was issued. Cabinet officials scheduled a meeting in Washington today with officials of food chains and called in farmers for a session tomorrow to KeTpTn preparing a food prices report that President Nixon has requested by July 10.

Shoppers, meanwhile, were issuing their own reports. "The food prices are just terrible now," said a woman in a Seattle, supermarket. "I know how much the prices have gone up because I just started shopping regularly a year and a half ago when I was married." "Prices are out of sight," said a man in a Kansas City store. "The very first thing the government should have done in its economic program was to put controls on food prices." Supermarket executives warned consumers on June 16 to expect a rise in prices, particularly of said that wholesale costs have geen going up and the retail outlets no longer could absorb the increase. In Los Angeles, ground beef went from 73 to 78 cents a pound, sirloin tip steak from $1.49 to $1.67 a pound and a Swiss steak TV dinner from 63 to 67 cents.

Items that were unchanged included round steak, chicken legs, russet potatoes, lettuce, onions, liquid cleaner and aluminum foil. Auto pollution testing begins The days of dirty, sooty automobile exhausts may be approaching an end. Starting today in the motor vehicle station on Route 46 in Wayne, inspectors began to check all cars for pollution The program is experimental. New Jersey is the first state to start the tests. For the first weeks, only the inspection stations in Wayne and Camden will conduct them.

Other stations will begin the tests as they receive the necessary equipment. The program is also voluntary. Motorists flunking the pollution tests will still be able to pass inspection. Adherence to the anti-pollution standards will not become mandatory until next July. because Credentials Committee rulings on contested delegations have resulted in half-vote splits between warring factions.

Many party regulars and campaign workers may lose their seats' as a result." A number of protesters are already here, in advance of the candidates and delegates. About 40 staged a brief mock funeral outside the Convention Hall yesterday for a young Vietnamese killed in Saigon Sunday when he tried to hijack an American plane. When they sought to drop a 3-by-5 foot slab of plywood laden with flowers into a canal as part of the ceremony, police retrieved it twice, then carted it off in a boat the third time. The demonstrators then dispersed. "It is an effort to make them feel they have a place here," Southwick said.

At a news conference yesterday; Convention Manager Richard Murphy announced that the hall would be "buttoned up" from midnight Sunday until late Monday afternoon for a bomb search recommended by the Secret Service. He said afternoon sessions may be necessary next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon to handle minority reports on the party's platform before the nomination proceedings begin. "It is even possible that we might have to come back Wednesday afternoon before we can get to the business of nominating a candidate that night," he said. Alternate delegates may be forced to take seats in the gallery, Murphy said, something can be worked out seating them both." tfi this sweltering convention center, meanwhile, the City Council planned to rg consider today whether it will reverse decision against granting campsites for young hondelegates expected in Mi-2mi Beach for next week's Southwick, one of McGovern's piith workers, announced arrangements lj.9 open a youth center in a downtown Beach hotel through which the oUng people will be able to get information about convention activities, watch Sessions on television monitors and meet 'jath the South Dakota senator's dele- gates. callecTthe dispute a charade and said it had "gone far enough."

He is also under indictment in connection with a disturbance at the corrections center last December. His surrender began with a call to the newspaper from a Newark minister, the Rev. William E.

Hedgebeth of Mt. Olive Church of Christ's Disciples. who said Smart wanted to turn himself in. According to Bob Smartt, a reporter at the paper who is no relation to the convict, Hedgebeth called the paper after the pastor of Smart's family's church in Hoboken asked his advice on how the escaped convict should surrender. The convict's father, Erwin Smart is on the church board in Hoboken.

Hedgebeth, who made the suggestion that Smart surrender at the newspaper, said when the called the paper that the convict had two conditions: that he "wouldn't be brutalized or killed by guards," and that he be granted immunity. The Star-Ledger notified state officials, and dispatched reporter Smartt and photographer Dwight J. Johnson to meet Hedgebeth. The Star-Ledger learned that Smart could not under the law be granted immunity, but the convict agreed to surren- der anyway. He was arrested in the paper's newsroom with his father, Hedgebeth and the Hoboken 'minister, the Rev.

Willie L. Craddock, present. Smartt acted calmly as he was arrested. Asked if he thought he was doing the right thing, he replied, "If I wanted to stay out I wouldn't be here."
