Lumber Plant Has $2 Million Fire
SEATTLE. Wash.—(UP)—One of the world's largest cedar mills was engulfed in flames today and 500 firemen battled to bring the blaze under control.
The fire broke out Tuesday night when smoke was observed coming from dry kilns at the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Co.
Damage was unofficially estimated at 2 million dollars. Damage to lumber alone was estimated at $900,000.
Flames soared 300 feet into the ali and the fire was visible in Seattle and many outlying towns. Harbor Patrol and Coast Guard boats moved into the Salmon Bay Waterway and poured tons of water on the blaze while fire companies attacked the fire from the shore side.
A member of the Harbor Patrol was burned about the arm when one of the boats fighting the blaze caught fire. A civilian worker was treated and released for minor burns.
At last report firemen were slowly closing the perimeter of the blaze but it was expected to rage for hours before being brought under control.
Takes Great Bend TV Job
Fifteen millwrights were working when the fire broke out but escaped safely.
Kenneth Coy, 1954 graduate in the news-editorial sequence of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, will leave Friday to take a job in the news department of KCKP-TV in Great Bend. In Lawrence, Mr. Coy has been working as general manager of the Outlook Publishing Co. and as a newscaster for KLWN radio.

Stassen Loses Primary Race
By UNITED PRESS
Pennsylvania pretzel manufacturer Arthur T. McGonigle wrecked Harold E. Stassen's hopes for a political comeback and Baltimore Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro won Maryland's Democratic senatorial nomination in Tuesday's top primary election contests.
McGonigle, a political newcomer who ran with Pennsylvania's Republican organization support, took an early lead over Stassen for the GOP gubernational nomination and maintained a comfortable margin as late returns rolled in today.
In Maryland, D'Alesandro, who had the backing of state party leaders, defeated six other Democratic candidates for the senatorial nomination.
Pennsylvania GOP state chairman George I. Bloom hailed McGonigle's victory over Stassen, formerly President Eisenhower's disarmment adviser, as evidence the state's Republican party "is more united than at any time in its recent history."
Trujillo Heads East; Novak Aglow
HOLLYWOOD — (UP) Dominican playboy-General Rafael Trujillo Jr., packed up his epaulets Tuesday night and went back to army school leaving Kim Novak aglow with his praise and lavish gifts.
Trujillo publicly declared his love for Miss Novak on a television program and said he plans to return to Hollywood after he completes his military studies at the U. S. Army General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth.
The blonde actress refused to speculate on the possibility of marriage to the 29-year-old Trujillo, whose Hollywood spending spree rivaled that of the movie greats before income taxes.
Young Trujillo, head of the Dominican Republic Air Force and son of strongman Rafael Trujillo, broke camp in his rented $200,000 Bel-Air mansion, boarded a special car and headed east Tuesday night.
Answering Trujillo's public declaration of love, Kim cooed that she
TAKE A LITTLE OF KU WITH YOU

So Long and Good Luck to you Graduating Seniors and we'll see you next year, undergrads. Sincerely, Ed Down
"liked General Trujillo from the first moment we met."
"At this time there is nothing I can add except my gratitude for the many nice things he has said about me," said Miss Novak.
