Only a shell—four shaky walls—remained today after the entire five floors collapsed into the basement of the buildings in a tangled mass wreckage. Fourteen persons were believed to have perished at first, but six later were accounted for. Fifteen persons were injured, 13 serious enough to be kept at Noble hospital. Fire Chief Jeremiah Moriarty said the walls were in danger of collapsing at any time and no one would be allowed to enter the ruins until an inspection has been completed. Robert L. Greaney, a navyman on leave; Chester Dawicki, an Air Force man also on leave; and Mingo Grunerio, were credited with saving five persons who were on the point of collapse when reached. Greaney later reentered the building but was forced back when flames burned the coat off his back and singed his hair. He said that as he left the building the second time he could hear a woman shouting, "help me, I'm burning." Dr. Harold Beattie said he heard the anguished screams for help from his home three blocks away. An elderly couple, dressed only in nightclothes, nearly collapsed on the street while waiting for help. Onlookers took off their own shoes and overcoats to protect the couple from the freezing cold.

MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1952 Allies Feel Reds Do Not Want a Korean Armistice MUNSAN, Korea (AP)—The United Nations' chief truce negotiator said today there are growing indications that the communists do not want a stable armistice in Korea. Today's report from Panmunjom was the now familiar "no progress." If the communists "are acting in good faith and sincerely want peace, there can be no reason for them to construct military airfields during the period of an armistict," said Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy. He flew to Tokyo for conferences with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied commander. "If, on the other hand, the communists are acting in bad faith and are, in fact, preparing for war, the construction of military airfields becomes, and is, a matter of great urgency to them," Joy added. The reds reiterated their insistence on the right to construct and repair airfields during a brief Monday meeting of the subcommittee on truce supervision.

Power Proclaims Himself a Republican pt GOP Nomination If It Is Offered Senator Lodge (R-Mass) States Intentions of Famed War General WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed himself a Republican today, and made it clear he would accept that party's presidential nomination if it is offered. But he said he won't actively seek it. In a Paris statement, the 61-year-old General swept away much of the fog of uncertainty that has swirled for the last five years about his place in the picture of presidential possibilities. His statement was prompted by the week-end move from Senator Lodge (R-Mass) who announced (A) that Eisenhower's name would be entered in the March 11 New Hampshire presidential primary, and (B) that there would be a "finish fight" to win the GOP nomination for the general. Eisenhower, who has been talked as both a Democrat and a Re- meets) a duty that would transcend my present responsibility." Eisenhower's statement tremendously cheered Republicans who have been working for his nomination and have felt themselves handicapped by the general's long silence. Some of them were getting resolute under the feeling that uncertainty as to Eisenhower's position was letting Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, first to announce as a candidate, get off to a lead in bidding for support from convention delegates. The "go ahead," which Eisenhower in effect gave his backers today will let them press their campaign for him with more assurance. Two other candidates also are formally in the race—Gov. Earl Warren of California and Harold Stassen president of the U.S. His statement was prompted by the week-end move from Senator Lodge (R-Mass) who announced (A) that Eisenhower's name would be entered in the March 11 New Hampshire presidential primary, and (B) that there would be a "finish fight" to win the GOP nomination for the general. Eisenhower, who has been talked as both a Democrat and a Republican presidential possibility, made these points in his statement: 1. He said Lodge was correct in calling him a Republican. 2. He has no intention of asking that he be relieved of his present assignment as leader of the European defence forces. 3. He will not take part in pre-convention activities of those seeking the nomination for him. 4. He recognizes the right of others to engage in an attempt "to place before me next July (when the Republican convention Another practical effect of today's statement was to pull the rug from under those Democrats who have been beating the drums for the nomination of Eisenhower by their party. At the White House, aides said President Truman had no comment on the general's statement. Eisenhower's name has figured in presidential speculation ever since he led the Allies to victory over the Axis power in Europe in 1945.

The "go ahead" which Eisenhower in effect gave his backers today will let them press their campaign for him with more assurance. Two other candidates also are formally in the race—Goy, Earl Warren of California and Harold Stassen, president of the University of Pennsylvania and former Governor of Minnesota. Another practical effect of today's statement was to pull the rug from under those Democrats who have been beating the drums for the nomination of Eisenhower by their party. At the White House, aides said President Truman had no comment on the general's statement. Eisenhower's name has figured in presidential speculation ever since he led the Allies to victory over the Axis power in Europe in 1945.
