Restaurant fire kills 27 diners
MONTGOMERY, Ala. —(UPI) —Fire burst from a cloakroom and swept through a penthouse restaurant Tuesday night trapping around 35 persons on the top of a 10-story apartment building. Twenty-seven persons were killed and the final toll was expected to be higher.
Many of the bodies were found piled in one corner of Dale's Penthouse Restaurant, where the flames erupted around 10 p.m. CST.
Some of the trapped patrons of the restaurant smashed out windows and jumped onto a roof garden, another crashed through a window onto a ledge and on to safety.
Firemen, using new extension ladders, brought many of the persons down from as high as the seventh floor.
Red China denounces violation
Daily Kansan
MOSCOW—(UPI)—Communist China today accused the Soviet Union of violating the rights of Chinese diplomats and deliberately pushing Moscow-Peking relations to the breakin-point.
It was feared the Chinese would use these new charges as a pretext to send hordes of rampaging Red Guards swarming into the Soviet embassy in Peking, already under seige for 14 straight days.
The latest Peking propaganda blast echoed charges by Chinese diplomats Tuesday that a group of Russian youths demonstrating in front of their embassy broke a door in the building. They said they had photographs to prove it.
Peking Radio said the deteriorating relations between Russia and China was "a serious question confronting the people of China, Russia and the world."

Powell may reply to panel's query
Red guards ordered back
HONG KONG —(UPI)— Millions of Red Guards from all parts of Communist China have been ordered to return home because their revolutionary rampages are creating chaos throughout the nation, a leading Japanese newspaper reported today.
The Tokyo newspaper Mainichi Shimbun said the order was issued Tuesday by the central committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the state council cabinet, the highest party and political bodies in Red China.
Another Japanese newspaper, meanwhile, said that Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung has set up a new organization in Peking to mastermind China's propaganda war against the Soviet Union.
Still unanswered were such questions as would the unpredictable Harlem Democrat be willing to testify in open session and would he be willing to answer all the questions the committee's five Democrats and four Republicans want to ask him.
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— The special panel examining Adam Clayton Powell's fitness to serve in Congress expected him to show up for his first hearing today, but beyond that nothing was certain.
