Kansas City Fire Kills 5, Injures 15
Kansas City, Mo. U.P.) Fire roared out of control for four hours in an old apartment building here last night, killing five persons and injuring at least 15.
Three of the dead and nine of the injured were firemen. The dead were buried under a mass of heavy timbers, brick, and debris when a canopy upon which they were standing collapsed.
One of the dead firemen, Don Nastasio, was off duty and had rushed to the scene to help fight the fire after calls for assistance were sounded. The other dead firemen were Melvin Kurts, 30, and Joseph Cooney, 55
The-bodies of Mrs. Betty Coen, 22, and her 2-year-old daughter, Mary, were found in a charred, torn apartment. Willard Coen, the husband and father, identified them hours after the fire at a funeral home.
A 10-year-old boy, Tommy Wolbert, was credited with saving the lives of many residents in the westside building when he ran through the halls, shouting a warning that the building was burning.
Acting Chief Edgar Grass said
Queen Sticks To Tradition
London — (U.P.)— Queen Elizabeth II gave silver pieces to 27 old men and 27 old women today—instead of washing their feet.
It was the traditional Maundy Thursday ceremony, commemorating Christ's washing the feet of his disciple.
The young queen, in deep mourning for her grandmother Queen Jenny, wearing diamond brooch on her shoulder, wears Paul's cathedral for the ceremony.
She carried a posy of aromatic herbs, as did the sovereigns centuries ago as a safeguard against contagious disease.
King James II, who succeeded Charles II in 1685, was the last sovereign who washed the feet of poor and needy folk on Maundy Thursday.

the fire finally was controlled at 8 p.m., four hours after it had begun on the upper two floors of the fivestory brick building.
Larry Allen Enochs, 5-months-old son of Mrs. Wilma Enochs, 27, suffered cuts and abrasions when his panic-striken mother smashed a 4th floor window and leaned out to cry for help.
Both Mrs. Enochs and her baby were rescued when firemen quickly raised a power ladder to the window. At least one man leaped from the top floor to safety in a fire net.
The Fight Is on —
Tidelands Bill Faces Senate
Washington — (U.P.)—The chief sponsor of the tidelands bill now being debated in the Senate charged today that believers in "big federal government" are leading the fight against the legislation.
Sen. Spessard Holland (D-FLA), whose measure would give coastal states title to off-shore oil lands out of their historic boundaries, said he would discuss the "political philosophy" behind the tidelands opposition in a Senate speech today.
The Senate plunged into what it expected to be a lengthy argument on the off-shore oil measure yesterday after the House approved its own submerged lands legislation by
Sen. Holland said the fight is between "believers in an all-important federal government" and those who think "the state level is the place to handle this problem."
a 285 to 108 vote.
Other developments:
Chairman Edward J. Thye (R-Minn.) said he will recommend that his Senate small business committee grant a hearing to Dr. Allen V. Astin, ousted director of the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Astin—fired by Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks for supposedly condemning a product without adequate testing—has suggested he would welcome a congressional investigation.
Rep. W. Sterling Cole, newly elected chairman of the joint congressional atomic energy committee, said he will push development of atomic power for peaceful purposes. The New York Republican said "the military aspects of atomic energy are pretty well taken care of. The emphasis now will be more
on civilian use of atomic power."
Irving Goldman, admitted ex-Communist and Sarah Lawrence, college professor, refused to inform on others before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee. Mr. Goldman claimed the first amendment gave him the "moral right" to refuse to name other members of Communist units at Columbia university and Brooklyn College.
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's new "agreement" with the state department will not block his plans to accept a non-Communist trade promise from Greek shipowners in London, it was learned.
The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to provide for the naturalization of all aliens who have served in the United States armed forces since the beginning of the Korean war.
