Clint Moore, manager and Frank Faw- cett, credit manager, both smell- ed smoke a few minutes after five yesterday. They raced out of their offices, down the stairs to the furnace roon, where a pile of fur- niture, a few feet from the fur- nace, was blazing. They attempted to put it out with extinguishers, but it had too big a headway. Firemen arriving at 12 minutes after five were forced to use gas masks to pene- trate into the smoke-filled cellar. Vision was limited to a few feet. CAUSE UNKNOWN The exact cause of the fire is unknown. It spread rapidly to the main floor in the extreme north- west corner of the building, com- ing up through the floor and wall of a washroom there. The furnace room can be reached only by a narrow enclosed stair, which greatly hampered firemen. Assistant Chief Ray Hobbs was cut on the right shoulder when he smashed a window and the glass | ripped through his clothing. Sev-| |eral clamps were required to stop | |the bleeding. He accompanied | Chief Wesley Elliott this morning |in an inspection of the building. Some 25 bedsteads, wrapped in| excelsior and stored in the fur- {nace room, were reduced to char- | | coal. Valuable records and con- | tracts were also lost. Lamps, | gen chrome kitchen furniture, baby | at buggies and sets of dishes were | destroyed or badly damaged. Man- | ager Clint Moore estimates dam- | age to the building ct $1,000 and furniture loss at the same amount.

In the faint light broken bed- | steads and jumbled metal took on | a weird aspect, No damage whatever was done to the store proper or to the fur- niture in it. Business went on as usual. Iran Makes Up To Britain wtehran )ap) --Iran today ex- tended the olive branch to Britain in their two-year-old quarrel follow- ing Iranian nationalization of Anglo - Iranian Oil Cp. holdings here. An official government state- ment read by Foreign Minister Ab- dollah Entezam expressed "plea- sure" at a recent British offer to resume diplomatic . relations. The statement hinted at the possibility of new talks to settlc the dispute over compensation for the British property _and get oil flowing again. 'dreigll Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons Oct. 20 in a reference to Iran: "I hope that a new chapter has opened. There is a new govern- ment there aware that we are ready to resume diplomatic rela- tions, If this can be done, it will then be easier for us to discuss together the complex problem of Persian ofl." Asserting that these remarks have been "appreciated and caused pleasure," Entezam said his gov- ernment 'is hopeful Eden's recent speech is a sign of a new policy and the beginning of a new chap- ter of friendly relations between the two countries." SOLVER DIFFERENCES Entezam said present differences are only between the Iranian gov- ernment and the oit company.

Agreement was announced at city hall after 13 hours of bargaining sessions. Company and union negotiators said deliveries to stores should start at about noon today. In industry spokesman said the agreement, granting a wage in- crease to. 13,000 members of the AFL Teamsters Union, would re- sult in a retail price increase of about a cent a quart. OPERATE IN A DAY The spokesman said that it will take about a day before processing plants can be operating at normal to meet all area demands for milk. Marathon Session Ends Milk Strike Union counsel Samuel J. Cohen said the 200 companies involved granted a package increase of about $8.50 a week. The agreement announcement came after about 20 New Jersey milk dealers assembled here on re- ceiving word from the union that contracts were about to be signed. They waited through the night while the regular union and com- pany -negotiating teams were at city hall, where the settlement was announced. Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri got the regular negotiators together at city hall late Friday after threat- ening to lock them in until the walkout is settled. He did nol carry out the threat, however, although a police guard had instructions to keep reporters away from the ne- gotiators. c S- The region normally uses about 5,- The negotiators were still in sion at dawn. | bution of parts and accessories will | ! ed a large five-acre | be more than tripled.

The new building replacing premises on Queen's Avenue, will By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minister St. Laurent will have his thoughts and hopes fixed on Asia when he leaves the capital next Feb. 4 on a globe-girdling air journey. Mr, St. Laurent will visit many points in Europe, Asia and the Far East on the most extensive good-will tour attempted by a Canadian prime minister. But his real reason for the trip isito visit Asia and his main hopes are centred on Prime Minister Nehru of India. It is a safe bet, and Mr, St. Laurent has virtually said so on occasions, that he believes Nehru to be the man in the best position to exercise an influence for good, | or for harm, to all the peoples of the world. REMOVE MISGIVINGS During a talk with a Canadian Press reporter the prime minister said he believes it is most impor- tant that any misgivings Asian people may harbor about the west- ern world and its intentions should be removed. Good relations be- tween the East and West were es- sential and could be created and maintained. He believes that Canada is a good example. Canada, once a colony of the British Empire and a next-door neighbor to the United | States, proved it' could win self- government, manage its own af- tions with both the United King- dom and the United States. It would be helpful to Asian leaders to have among their people, even for a brief time, the prime min- ister of such a country as Canada. At Least They Know the Culprit NEW CASTLE, Ind.

Contractor Ole Sorenson, "How?" "An utterly impossible, ridicul- gus nightmare," said lawyer Lorne Ferg. Archie Donaldson, jolly, - red- haired butcher, believed it was a good idea. * C. H. (Buck) Whitney, lanky chamber president, called it a highly imaginative "idea and said he planned to fight for its adoption at the Winnipeg convention of Man- itoba chambers Nov. 18 and 19. Mr. Parres' idea is to take the mining country out of the hands of a largely farmer-elected Manitoba government and form a province-- to be called Pre-Oftmbria--where miners, trappers and lumbermen can run their own affairs. Mr. Whitney agrees that '"'north- V asked | ern people should have more to|ernments. 'his views om, the project, removed | say in northern affairs."

The new building will incor- porate the Maritime Zone Office, which administers GM activities in the four Maritime Provinces. THROUGH THE WEST Winnipeg's new warehouse is sit- uated at 1345 Redwood Avenue. This new building, which replaces a building at 270 Assiniboine Ave- Jue, will have over 61,000 square eet. A similar expansion is be ro- vided for in Edmonton "ie » a building on 108 Street is being re- placed by a larger warehouse to handle parts and accessories de- mands from as far away as the Peace River district. . In Vancouver, likewise, the exist- ing building at 900 Terminal Ave- nue, will be expanded to more than double its present size. When com- pleted, it will house the Pacific Zone Office along with parts and accessories distribution facilities. Expansion programs are also being considered for Regina and Calgary, the two remaining distrib- space of 61,300 ution centres in GM's nationwide chain. The western world is more ad- vanced in those things which lift the standard of living and make for a better life for its peoples, he said. The Asian world viewed things with more of a spiritual than material eye. Canada no doubt could benefit also bring material benefits to that area.
