One guest who was hopping about the hot ixiof clad only in aborts was rescued by firemen on an aerial ladder. None of the five hospitalized was, in serious condition, most being treated for window glass cuts and smoke inhalation. Less leriously injured were treated and released.

WJlner Smith, a hog buyei from Peru, told newsmen he, was sleeping in a third floor room near a fire escape when he was swakened by smoke. The blaze evidently started in the kitchen or just abov? it.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) Even after 20 years, the words oh the yellowed sheet of paper made the old soldier mad. "It was the last sentence, that lousy last sentence that did it," growled Gen. Anthony C.

McAuliffe today as he reread the German surrender ulthnatum delivered to him in surrounded Bastognc. The German conuHahder gave McAuliffe tsvo hours to surrender his 101st Airborne Division and the Belgian town it held. After that, the German warned, massed Nazi artillery would "annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne." Then came the German windup sentence the one that stung McAuliffe because he felt it held a sneer. It said: "All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity." On impulse, the hard-jawed commander of the "Battered Bastards of Bastogne" replied witli one defiant word "Nuts." That reply made McAuliffe a living legend of World War II.

Vernon industrial firms paid out to 1,291 employes during 1964 and one industrialist expects his plant to show a 28 per cent increase in gi'oss business during 1965. This was disclosed Monday night at Green Hills Country Club as the Mt. Vernon Chamber of Commerce and Industry presented a "Salute to Industry" dinner. President Malcolm E. Henning of General Radiator, Inc.

predicted that this company, a subsidiary of Chromalloy, would increase its gross sales 28 per cent over next year over 1964, while the company showed a 16 per cent increase this year over 1963. Mr. Henning was one of two guest speakers at the tribute dinner, with CJiarles W. Mc- Caulla, industrial development supervisor.

President Henning thanked the city council for its cooperation in the matter of land access. In the matter of nationeil in- dusti-ial business, Henning stated that one editor in observing the scene, has predicted a generally higher level of business in 1965, but a slow down in the rate of growth. This prognosticator sees a five percent increase in the gross national product, against an increase of around seven percent in 1964.

Three economists, according to Mr. Henning, have predicted that the nation's gi-oss national product may rise next year as much as $31 billion to $40 billion over the 1964 level.

During his career, Bendix played characters ranging from brutal villains to everybody's pal. To millions of fans of "The Life of Pviloy" television show, Bendix' death was a double loss. It removed Chester Riley, the harried father.

Bendix' wife once admitted to an interviewer: "Chester Riley and Bill Bendix are alike in a lot of ways. "Bill's bluff manner doesn't let outsiders know what he is like at all. He has all the Idnd- ness and desire to help others that Riley is noted for.

His debut on the boards at 16, as a member of the Henry Street Settlement House players, wasn't notable. Bendix knew his wandering nose and beer keg physique would never qualify him as a matinee idol. "I'm about as handsome as a mud fence," he once remarked. But the stiength and sincerity underneath the craggy exterior ti-ansformed him from character actor to star.

He was frightening in Eugene "The Hairy Ape," tough as the brutal first mate in "Two Years Before the Mast." Bendix undei-went surgery for stomach ulcers in 1955.

policy in the Congo mobilized today for a counterblast at U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson after he accused them of injecting "black racism" into the Security Council debate. Ambassador Achar Marof of Guinea told newsmen a strategy meeting would be held today by the 18 African and 4 Asian nations who have charged before the council that the United States and Belgium committed aggression by sendmg paratroops to rescue whites held by the Congolese rebels. Most African delegates who had denounced the United States and Belgium in the council debate refused to comment on Stevenson's blistering reply Monday.

But they plainly did not relish his charge that they vvere guilty of "irrational, irresponsible, insulting and repugnant language." Pro-Western nations voiced praise for Stevenson's speech, in which he said many of the countries criticizing the United States arc openly supplying military aid to the Congolese rebels. Stevenson told the council the United States had "no apologies to make to any state appearing before this council" for its part in the operation which rescued 1,700 white civilians from the rebels. "We are proud of our part in saving human lives imperiled by the civil war in the he said. Stevenson charged flie Congolese insurgents have received open support from Algeria, Ghana, Sudan, Red China, the Soviet Union, Congo Brazzaville and Burundi. Most of tlie African countries which have condemned military aid from outside Africa have themselves received such aid, he said.

He said that iii his severi years at the United Nations he had never heard such invective as that used against the United States during the present debate. "But even such a torrent of abuse of my country is of no consequence compared to the specter of racial antagonism and conflict raised in this chamber," he said. "I make no defense of the sins of the white race in this respect. But the antidote for white racism is not black racism." Four Youths Murder Boy EUREKA, 111.
