Donald C.

Layser, proprietor ol the firm, said it would require several days before he could determine what if any damage re s'uUe'd t6' the' plants while they were being transferred from one greenhouse-to another. There was no immediate estimate df damage caused by the burning the TBeH Telephone- American Telephone and Telegraph Company cable line' outside the fire-gutted boiler room. Local telephone lines Bethel and Mt. Aetna Telephone Company'were also damaged. John F.

Kirby local Bell manager, said the service interruption was not too severe since Bell was able to utilize alternate routes. There was some limitation, however, on between Lebanon and Myerstown and Frystown. Location Fire The fire scene-was on the north side-of an alley between Route 422 and old Route 422. It is one of- two operated by the The boiler 'house, which supplied heat for six greenhouses in the.area, was a one-story frame structure adjacent to the two- story shed that at one'time was a stable. The fire reported by Mrs.

Ernest Harnish, West Myerstown grocer, who was awakened the of a horn outside her-home. At first she and other members of her family thought' the Boise was the work of" a holiday celebrant. When it persisted sh'e investigated and saw Vh flames breaking through the roof of the boiler room to the her Firemen of the Keystone and Goodwill Companies, -Myerstown, responded to the. alarm, as did many residents of the area. A slight wind blew the flames toward the storage shed which contained a tractor, and a loader, a 1957 Chevrolet step-in truck, 110 bales, of peat moss and a large quantity of pots and other florist equipment and.

materials. The truck was driven from the premises and escaped damage but the-iractor was believed extensively damaged, if not a total loss. A 1951 model truck, parked outside the boiler room was also a total loss. Layser said the fire apparently started around the roof of the boiler house and he attributed it to an overheated vent stack on one of the two furnaces in the aoiler room. "It was a cold, sard-firing night," he added.

Although the air was finger- numbing during the fire, a warm glow of the spirit of help fulness prevailed throughout the fire and continued today. Layser said he was cheered by the assistance he received and the spirit of cooperation on the part of firemen, volunteers and workmen called to help him stay in business. The Cleaver-Brooks boiler firm, this city, was contacted while the fire was still burning and arrangements were made to bring a boiler to the fire scene from Manheim this morning. Contractors Harry Kline, Myerstown, and William E. Swonger, Myerstown R.D.

2,, and plumber Isaac Gass, Myerstown, teamed up to provide a temporary shelter for the boiler. They said the new boiler plant would be in operation tomorrow. A. W. Beylcr and Sons, a competitor Myerstown florist firm, also came to Layser's assistance while the fire was at its height.

This firm sent two trucks and two men to the scene io help in the removal of planfs from the fire-damaged and heatless The Hibshman premises that were scorched by. flames was at one time used as a butcher shop by Paul Wartluft who is now a resident of W. Maple Myerstown. At that time Wartluft used the fire-destroyed storage shed of the Layser firm as a stable for cattle awaiting slaughter.

In fact, a group of economists from the universities of America advised Kennedy during the campaign. Since the election, the "Cambridge group" so called because of its proximity to Harvard, has been relaying to Kennedy ideas for combatting the current slump in business. Heller has been one of the consultants to this group Samuelson, he believes' ejceciitive rather than legislative action will be necessary to cope economic conditions immediately after the new administration takes over Jan.

Freeman since the latter took office in 1955. During World War II he was a fiscal economist with the Treasury Department and also served as a Treasury consultant during the Truman administration. Heller, is an advocate of lower interest rates, and some flexibility; for the executive branch to raise and lower taxes within ranges prescribed by Congress as a means of coping with inflationary booms, as 'well as slumps. 19 Left Homeless After Fire Hits Carlisle Homes CARLISLE, Pa.

TREASURY BALANCE WASHINGTON (DPI) U.S. Treasury Balance is $5,723,958,517.98. Truman And MacArthur Are Again At Odds (Continued Fran One) lions is equally fantastic," he said. "My plan was to end the war, not expand it. Victory Within Reach "Victory was, acbally within our grasp cost in blood and effort that was later expended in the protracted bloody stalemate along the 38th Parallel.

We did not need.the atom bomb here anymore than we did in the war against Japan. "Our conventional weapons were enough to destroy the bridges across the Yaiu River and their supply bases if not unprecedented- ly and astonishingly proclaimed them a 'privileged sanctuary' for the enemy." Truman, in an interview with Chicago Sun-Times columnist Irv Kupcinet made the following remarks: Kupcinet: "Was there any pressure on you to release the A-bomb again in the Korean conflict?" Truman: "Yes, MacArthur wanted to do that." Kupcinet: "MacArthur did?" Truman: "Yes, he wanted to bomb China and eastern Russia and everything else." Kupcinet: "Use the atomic bomb?" Truman: "Why, of course, that's the only weapon we had that they would understand." Kupcinet: "Was this one of the main reasons you recalled him?" Truman: "I recalled him for disobedience of orders. He was in private contact with the Republican minority in the House of Representatives, Joe Martin, and he had been warned that the com- rriander-in-chief was still the Commander-in-chief." MacArthur, in his statement, said it was equally untrue that be had disobeyed orders. "The members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, my immedjate superiors in the conduct of the Korean War, testified under oath at the congressional hearings that there was no insubordination or disobedience of orders on my part," MacArthur said. Court Denies Supporr To College Student, 18, Continued support for an 13- year-old Myerstown boy attending 11 g'e was denied Thursday afternoon during, a domestic relations court proceeding in the courthouse.

Judge G. Thomas ruled Favorably on the petition df Cecil E. Saunders, Myerstown R.D. 3, for a reduction in a $20-a-week order in favor of his ex-wife, Lena Saunders, 619 Myerstown. It was for two minor children.

Saunders ordered to pay $10 'a week for one 'son and also pay $3 weekly on arrearages of The previous order bad Deen in effect for 11 years. Under the new order Saurideri will not pay support for his son, Lee, who on 26th. is a first-year student at the University of Oklahoma. In his plea for the reduction Saunders pointed out that his son old enough to earn' his own iving. He further contended his son's station in life does not necessarily call for a college education.

Counsel for ex'husband pointed out to court the plane fare 'or the student to and from col- ege is about $190. Court was 'in- ormed that on the basis of two rips to and from the school a year, the fare would eat up almost all of the support payments. As Judge Gates handed down us order he asked young Saunders not to be discouraged in he pursuit of a college educa- ion. Then he "I know hat it isn't going to be easy." Thi jurist pointed out he was acceding to the request of Saunders view of his earning power and station in life.
