Main as a fireman tries to enter the building. The dense smoke hampered firemen's efforts to reach the source of the fire which was located in the basement. John Alice, 102 E. Main St.

Fire Chief E. E. Malloy said the fire was reported at 12:12 p.m. yesterday in the basement parts supply room. Using air-packs, the firemen tried to contain the fire but it spread up an internal stairway to the first floor.

"The area near the stairway is a maze of small rooms and doorways," said Malloy. "By the time the fire had spread upstairs we had run out of oxygen and had no way to reach the flames. Dense smoke and heat hindered any effort made by the men without air packs. When It broke out in the back of the showroom we were finally able to contain it." The firefighters fought the fire in the basement, on the east side and'from the front of the showroom. One hose burst while a second was burned.

A portable ventilation fan had been set up to clear smoke out of the showroom and burned when the fire broke out on the first floor. A total of 38 men were on duty during the fire, including 16 off-duty men called in to man one pumper at Central Fire Stateion as a back-up crew. One fireman, Robert Yost, was treated and released at Licking County Memorial Hospital for smoke inhalation. David Chesrown, owner of the firm, estimated between $200,000 and $300,000 in damages and loss of parts. No automobiles were lost but there was considerable smoke damage to antique cars parked in the basement and to five new cars parked in the service' department in the east part of the building.

Chief Malloy said he could not estimate the amount of damage but the parts lost in the fire "could come to a considerable amount." He said the building itself, however, was not structurally damaged. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Ginny MiDaniels mi 0 I He was a great guy, but as Z' i Him it M'k x. Ashbrook said that the taxpayers owe McCormack nothing, because he, was elected to the House by a single congressional district, and to the speakership by a partisan vote of the House. Ashbrook said that the House's decision to give McCormack the allocation reflects a jealousy between the executive and congressional branches of government.

He said that some congressmen want to match the retirement facilities set up for outgoing Presidents. "The difference is that our top man shouldn't be a public figure when he retires. At 79 he should just retire and enjoy life with his wife," Ashbrook said. The cost of the retirement gift was cut nearly in half at Mc-Cormack's request. "That was typical of him.

He is a very frugal man," Ashbrook said. Becky Jones Speaker of the House John W. McCormack may be a "great guy," but he doesn't deserve a $76,000 going away present from the American taxpayers, according to U.S. Rep. John Ashbrook (R-17).

Ashbrook was one of 69 representatives who voted against a resolution providing the retiring Speaker with free office space, supplies and two secretaries at the taxpayers' expense for two years. The resolution passed by a vote of 218 to 69. The 79-year-old McCormack will retire at the end of this congressional term after serving 42 years in the House, nine of them as Speaker. "The easiest thing In the world is to buy a gift with somebody else's money," said Ashbrook, who said he would have been willing to chip in out of his, own pocket, as a going away present for McCormack. in p.m.

Under the proposal, there would be four community colleges as there are now, with the possibility of a fifth in the Miami Shelby Darke county area. There would be 15 technical of 1,000 students for each.

In November, regents proposed that academic centers, university branches and technical institutes be reconstructed into 25 separate and. independent community technical colleges that would provide two-year programs in general studies and technical education. The plan was withdrawn after mft state general and technical colleges to become independent from four-year universities on a voluntary basis.

Norpell, representing The Advocate, filed answers to three items brought by Newark City Solicitor John R. Lind-sey as grounds for dismissal. In answering the first of two items dealing directly with dismissal of the case, Norpell said "records kept by public offices are public records and the public has the right to review such records." Lindsey contends that The Advocate has "failed to establish any special interest in the names beyond public knowl ments are being sought. Norpell charges that the writ was "necessarily 'vague and being unable, by direct questions, to ascertain what records, if any, are kept generally, and what may or may not have been kept in the instant case." The newspaper started court action against the Newark police department in an effort to have the names released of those involved in the Oct. 27 "bank prank" at Park National Bank.
