Rio de Janeiro, June 28 (AP) — Helicopters
have been snatching people from the roof of a 21-
story building in downtown Rio de Janeiro as fire
rages through the top ten stories. At least seven per-
sons have died in plunges from the blazing struc-
ture. Others are feared dead inside. At least 14
firemen have been injured.
Until a short time ago, fire-
men were hampered by a wa-
ter failure, but last reports in-
dicate they’re making some
headway now.
Spoiiy Showers
Nay Continue
Across Texas
Texas weather is falling into
a routine almost as common
as the sun rise. Showers form-
ed over much of the eastern
half of the state late Thurs-
day, are doing so again today
and are forecast to repeat the
pattern again Saturday.
Most of the showers are
spotty and light. But a few de-
veloped thunderstorms have
been forming each day, dump-
ing heavy amounts of moisture
on isolated, and varied, report^
ing stations.
Some areas of northern Hop.
kins County received moisture
Thursday and a huge thunder-
head was visible most of the
late evening to the south. There
was no official rainfall in Sul-
phur Springs during the 24-
hour period ending Friday
morning.
Temperatures were climb-
ing rapidly here Friday, how-
ever.
By n o o n Thursday’s high
reading of 93 degrees had been
equaled and the mercury moved 1>. m.
ri
on higher. Friday morning's
low reading was 69 degrees.
Thursday’s weather featur-
ed what is believed to have
been a baby tornado to the
area northeast of Garland in
Dallas County. Holes were
bashed in six farm buildings
and several pecan trees were
uprooted.
An estimated three inches of
rain fell in the area during the
storm.
Scattered rain clouds appear-
ed late Thursday from Gaines-
ville south to Victoria and east
into Louisiana. Some light
shower activity was reported
in East Texas and along the
Gulf Coast Friday morning,
but these storms dissipated
before noon.
Powell Takes
Dim Views
Oi Racial Law
Washington, June 28 UPi —
Negro Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell says that—as
it looks now—there’s no chance
that congress will pass a law
banning racial discriminhtion
in hotels and restaurants.
| Powell told newsmen in Wash-
! ington that the key public ac-
commodations portion of Pres-
ident Kennedy’s civil rights bill
is doomed by Republican oppo-
sition. The Harlem Democrat
added: “No civil rights hill has
a chance without Republican
support.”
Supecifically, Powell blamed
opposition by the two GOP
leaders in e ongress—Senator
Everett Dirksen of Illinois and
Congressman Charles Halleck
of Indiana. And he added:
“Idealistically, I’d like to see
a public accommodations law
but—knowing the political re-
alities—I’d have to say that as
it looks now it doesn’t have a
chance.”
Newsmen asked Powell wheth-
er a w a t c r e d-down version
might have a chance. He re-
plied. “It all depends on Sena-
tor Dirksen and Mister Hal-
leek.”
Two helicopters were taking
survivors from the roof of
the commercial structure. The
building houses three movie
companies and stocks of film
were adding to' the fury of the
blaze. The fiie is believed to
have started in the offices of
a group called Motion Picture
Production. An official of the
firm — Herbert Richer — told
newsmen: “I saw a big light
flash in {the air conditioning
equipment, followed by heavy
smoke.”
At least three men and four
women fell to their death as
thousands of persons watched
from the street. Five of the
victims had been attempting
to escape by use of a rope
from the 14th floor. They
plunged to the street when the
rope parted. Another woman
leaped from the 18th floor
with a fireman’s ladder only
five feet away. And a fire-
man died in a plunge from the
14th floor.

Mrs. Bob Vaughn will be
manager of the nursing hoitie,
supervising three licensed vo-

Dublin. June 28 (AP)
—President Kennedy says
that small countries
should imitate Ireland’s
support of the United
Nations as the s u rest
guarantee of world peace.
Kennedy expressed the view
at the joint session of the Dial
—the Irish parliament — in
Dublin. Kennedy declared that
the peace-keeping machinery
of the UN cannot work with-
out the help of small nations.
Kennedy told the parliament
that the greatest powers alone
are no ec tain guarantee for
success of the LTN peace-mak-
ing effort. He added: “Great
powers have their responsi-
bilities and their burdens, hut
the smaller nations of the
world must fulfill their obliga-
tions as well.”
Applause and cheering burst
out as Kennedy strode into
the Dial chamber. The speak-
er of the Dial — Patrick Ho-
gan—declared that Kennedy’s

UN. And he described the in-
ternational orga n ization as
“the_,majoi forum for your
nation’s greater role in world
affairs.” He called the UN
“the protector of the weak and
the voice of the small.”
There was applause as the
President termed Ireland
"that remarkable combination
of hope, confidence and imagi-
nation which is needed more
than ever today.”
Strong Grasp
In a :iiui;trip to the city of
Cork" earlier’ in the. day, Ken-
nedy praised Ireland for its
participation in the United
Nations force in The Congo.
He added: “Ireland has found
a new mission in the 1960’s,
to lead and join the free
world in an intimate associa-
tion with independence and
freedom.”
When Kennedy entered his
car at Cork, he leaned over
and started shaking hanus.
One excited Irishman grasped
his hand in a film grip and
hung on. Vt hen the car began
to move, and the man still
clung to the President’s hand,
Kennedy stumbled and fell to
the floor of the car. A Secret
Service man tried to help, but

Many Weed Complaints
North Korea
[Holds Captains
Seoul, Korea, June 28 Lfl—
Communist North Korea has
idmitted for the first time that
is holding two US Army
^aptains whose helicopter made
forced landing in Commun-
pt territory last month. There
as been no indication, how-
ler, of the condition of the
vo officers. North Korea has
[nored repeated UN demands
the Mtutt. of the captains.
A bright sun, spatterings of
rain, empty lots.
The combination annually
results in weeds — and mos-
quitoes — and this summer
it’s no different in Sulphur
Springs. Both of nature’s
pests involved cause some dif-
ficulty to city officials.
Of prime interest these
days are weeds, which fell
under city business last year
with the passage of a weed
ordinance. Thus far this sum-
mer, the city has received ap-
proximately 50 weed com-
plaints involving 30 pieces of
property, City Manager Carl
Riehn said Friday.
Also thus far, Riehn added,
the city has received “fine co-
operation” from property own-
ers in correcting the situations
that have led to the com-
plaints.
Under the recent weed or-
dinance, complaints of high
growth received at City Hall
are passed on to Inspector Bob
Vaughn who goes to the- scene
to confirm that fields or lots
are in violation of the ordi-
nance with high growth.
When Vaughn confirms the
violation, the property owner
is notified of the violation and
informed that unless the
weeds or high grass receive a
cutting, city crews will move
in, cut the growth and the ex-
pense will be added to the tax
bill on the property.
To encourage property own-
ers to cut their own land, the
City Council has approved
charges of $10 an hour plus
administration costs if the city
moves in.
Thus far in 1963 the city
has not had to move in crews,
which as Riehn explains,
means pulling men off of ma-
jor construction or improve-
ment projects in the city.
One or two pieces of prop-
erty may yet receive city cut-
ting, Riehn explained, as final
cheeking with property own-
ers continues.
“We try to be cooperative
with both sides,” Riehn said,
“by moving quickly on the
complaints once they are re-
ceived and by giving the prop-
erty owner some time to cut
the weeds or hire the job done.
“So far we have had fine
cooperation from everyone.”
While nearby residents gen-
erally consider weeds and high
grass as eyesores, the city is
concerned in other ways,
Vaughn said Friday. In some
cases high grass near intersec-
tions or driveways poses a
traffic hazard.
But the areas also represent
fire and health hazards and
currently offer excellent
breeding areas for mosquitoes.
“We are trying to combat
the mosquitoes with the emul-
sion placed in breeding places
and fogging too,” Vaughn
said. “But this high Johnson
grass enables a little bit of
rain to collect on the ground
and it stays moist down in
there. The mosquitoes love
it.”
Vaughn made four checks
on complaints Friday morning
and found violations at all
four spots. He '“also checked
buck on areas where inoperty
owners had been notified pre-
viously and found the weeds
cut in all but one location.
