Crackling Flames Endangering Three Lake Resort Areas NEWHALL (UP)—Three lake resorts were menaced today by crackling flames which have blackened more than 8000 acres of brush and timber 20 miles north of here in the Angeles National Forest. More than 500 men were on the firelines. The blaze, which started three days ago, was believed to have started from a carelessly tossed cigarette. Firebreaks were thrown up to protect resorts at Lake Hughes, Elizabeth lake and Munz lake. Extensive backfiring at Lake Hughes was undertaken to halt the roaring flames. The 600 residents of the lake were prepared to evacuate. The fire painfully burned three men and destroyed a helicopter, truck and cabin in the San Francisco canyon area. A U.S. forestry service lookout tower atop Grass mountain also went up in flames. Forestry officials said the fire, fanned by winds of 20 to 30 miles an hour, was crackling out of control and is 22 miles long. The three men were injured after they landed their helicopter near the Grass mountain lookout station. Forestry officials said heat from the flames exploded a gasoline drum on a pickup truck and ignited the helicopter.

The actual number of donors far exceeded expectations, only 90 persons having asked for appointments before the bloodmobile arrived and donations were taken. Another unusual aspect of Friday's Bloodmobile visit, according to Mrs. Nelson, was the fact that only two persons who had obtained appointments failed to show up.

American officials made no secret of their bitter disappointment at India's public denunciation of the proposed treaty draft, coming as it did only nine days before the start of a formal 50-nation peace conference in San Francisco Sept. 4. India's arguments for boycotting the signing, officials here said, seemed to echo Russia's long standing objections, and give powerful, timely ammunition to a new Moscow propaganda drive to wreck the Japanese treaty. In New Delhi, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told parliament today that India will sign a separate treaty with Japan as soon as Japan has achieved independent status. Nehru, whose treaty statement brought cheers from parliament, did not explain what he meant by "independent status." He might have been referring to the period after the peace treaty is signed and ratified, when the formal U.S. occupation will end; or he might have meant the time, no one knows how far distant, when all U.S. troops in Japan will be withdrawn and U.S. bases relinquished. A seperate pact between the U.S. and Japan is expected to be signed after the main peace treaty is disposed of.
