Fire Destroys Ashland Mill ASHLAND Fire destroyed the big Lithia Lumber Co. sawmill this Southern Oregon city Satur day night. The fire department gave $75,000 as a preliminary estimate of loss but said that figure "might be a bit low." The blaze, reported at 8:55 p.m.. quickly swept through the plant and fireman had no chance to save it. They controlled the flames after more than an hour's work and kept them from spreading to the company planing mill and umber piled outside.

No one was reported injured. Patrolman Vera Becker of the city police department said the mill, Unorganized and unaffected by the Northwest lumber strike, employed about 120 men and had a daily capacity in a 16-hour oper ation of from 150,000 to 180,000 board feet.

S. government officials and agency personnel, eight to 13 news correspondents, a teacher. a student and four to six missionaries. The number varies with travel movements. Plans have been made for evac uation of all Americans if it becomes necessary, but plans were not disclosed.

All might have to fly because other transDort is either stopped or too risky.

These are the ones who fear the Communist-led rebels. But for every Vietnamese here angry at the thought of a possible French retreat from this beleaguered city, there are uncounted others who have long nursed a deep hatred for their French colonial rulers.

Tell Plans to Stay The French High Command is acutelv aware the situation could develop into a native uprising like the 1946 outbreak which killed hundreds of Europeans and Eur asians. In every possible way, the French seek to counteract the idea they plan to leave. But non military agencies here are quietly moving their records and files to Hai-Dhong and Saigon. American and British consulates have evacuation plans ready. A spokesman for Gen.

Paul Ely, French commander in Indochina, said in Saigon plans for evacua-Hnn of French women and chil dren from Hanoi hinge on whether or not an armistice results irora the talks at faraway Geneva.

The hundreds of persons scrambling through the ruins of the old structure in search of the whole brick the past few days have just about as many answers.

As you would suppose a majority have plans for a patio' or an outdoor fireplace, but one woman, sitting beside a growing stack of -neatly cleaned bricks said she was getting bricks to keep her husband, home. She didn't say whether he was going to build something with them or whether she was going to throw them at "him. One man planned a brick walk, another a brick wall, and a young matron with mortar dust on her face said book cases were in her brick plan. A greying grandmotherly woman admitted shyly she just wanted one brick to keep her feet warm this winter. -A hardy pair with a rented trailer expressed hopes of getting enough bricks for a full-fledged fireplace some day.

They had some from the old courthouse and now some more from the school house. They'd still need some later, they said, City Hall maybe. Some prefer red bricks. Some prefer yellow bricks for their pet projects. But the proverbial brick outhouse must be passe, Bunclie to Speak At University EUGENE m-Dr.

Miss Thiel had left three $1 bills to pay for a window she had broken to gain entrance to the cabin. But there was no water there.

Between Italy, ROME Wl A so called visional" division of the long dis- puted Trieste Free Territory be- tween Yugoslavia and Italy. is expected within a few days, possibly early next week. Immediate results will be: 1. Italy probably will be invited to join Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey in their projected Balkan military alliance. This would knock down the last barriers to link Com munist but anti Cominform Yugo slavia with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

2. Italy probably would rush her ratification of, the European De fense Community by the end of August, leaving France as the last hold-out nation to a West European army. 3. This nation's thin-majority center bloc government would face its "test in blood" against the powerful Communist left and rising Fascist right.
