Ann Kosub, 5 of 530 Dunkirk 'avé., on Santa's knee and Heather Polley, 4 of 190 Albert st., were two of the children participating in the party at the Genosha Hotel. ~ Rotarian" James Grewer, left, was in charge TORONTO (CP)--A family of six died in a flaming west end row house early 'today, one five-year-old girl vainly clawing at a plastic window covering after smashing the glass. Firemen said the winter cov- erings on some of the windows kept heat in and turned the small house into an. oven for three children, their parents and an uncle. The victims are Walter Sonier, 28, his wife Gloria, 29, their children, Donna Lynn, 5, Charmaine, 2, and Lynda, 1, a Sonier's brother, Stanley, Firemen said the eldest girl, Donna Lynn, had smashed a bedroom window in her fight for life, but only managed to rip a small hole in the heavy plastic outer covering. More .than 25 persons fled from adjacent homes on the street--Wright Avenue--a few blocks north of Queen Street. When firemen arrived the Sonier home was lit up "like a lumber yard -- one great big bonfire." Two firemen were hurt fight- ing the flames. As he surveyed the gutted ruin, District Fire Chief Ed Norris said '"'they're tearing down better houses than these people live in." The chief said the cellar fur- nace had been converted from coal to gas and heat pwas forced up old-fashioned furnace pipes through the front hall. He said the windows in the children's room had aluminum frames covered with a plastic storm sash on the outside. "The heat was intense but that's what you expect when you get insulated brick siding and layer after layer of paint." Toronto Fire Chief Frank Coakwell said the blaze started in the kitchen area about 1:45 a.m, Mrs. Sonier's body was found under the dining room table, badly burned. The children ap- parently had suffocated before flames reached their back bed- room on the second floor. Inhalators. were used on all three children but they were dead on arrival at hospital. The 18 occupants of three other homes in the same row of FIRE WIPES OUT FAMILY OF SIX houses were forced to flee into the streets in their nightclothes, Gordon Chalkley, 33, of Tor- onto, a hospital employee, col- lapsed from smoke inhalation after rushing into one of the burning homes and carrying two children to safety. "I saw the smoke and ran in- side screaming," he said. "I got the kids and ran outside and gave them to my wife." Mr. Chalkley, who saw his brother burned to death in a fire several years ago, had to be dragged from the burning house by Walter Tuck, 44, who -- was trying to reach sa- ety. "That was a godsend," Mr, Tuck said. "'The way he ran into bee house and grabbed those kids." 1 SSansmntnngaseragngea ruta g cru UGE A WI TLL Martin Asks Discretion In NATO Arms PARIS (CP) -- External Af- fairs Minister Paul Martin to- day called for efforts to "'ra- tionalize defence planning" and improve nuclear collaboration as he opened a three-day con- ference on North Atlantic for- eign, defence and finance min- isters.

In answer to a question at a press conference, Dineen said that Martin stands to lose a $15,000 contract bonus because the Gemini 6 launch had to be postponed. Space officials said that in- spectors at Baltimore certified at least twice that the cover had in fact been removed. They added that the same bit of plastic was also in the Titan Oct. 25, when Gemini 6 was not launched because its rendez- vous target, an Agena rocket, failed to achieve orbit. Dineen confirmed that the Gemini 6 spacecraft could not have been launched Oct. 25, even if the Agena had orbited. A Martin Co. spokesman said the company is investigating the matter.

The Canada --Pension Plan, which comes into effect at the start of the New Year, stipu- employers must contribute 1.8 per cent of earnings up to a maximum of $5,000, with the}= first $600 exempt. One of the main considera-| lates that both employees andj= gineers and teachers to South Viet Nam, American sources reported. U.S. State Secretary Dean Rusk, in a review of the Viet Nam conflict, told the council of ministers of NATO that there is room for more troops in South Viet Nam. But sources said that he did not ask the NATO nations to supply them. In calling for greater allied understanding and support of the American effort in Viet Nam, Rusk, warned that the fate of the North Atlantic Alli- ance might be decided on the distant battlefields there. He told the annual meeting of 'ithe North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization's foreign, finance and defence ministers that a Communist success in Viet Nam might lead to new Communist adventures elsewhere. British Defence Minister De- nis Healey, deputizing for ailing Foreign Secretary Michael Ste- wart, supported Rusk's argu- ment, < Rusk said U.S. commitments in various parts of the world to halt the spread of Communism represent a "main pillar of peace." While Southeast Asia is a long way from the frontiers of Europe, he continued, the United States- cannot and will not choose between various commitments. He implied that to do so would destroy the cred- ibility of NATO itself as a de- fensive shield for the western world. the current honorary president, said NATO's defensive arrange ments should be developed in such a manner as to "keep open the prospects for negotiations with our adversary." Diplomatic observers took this to be mainly a reference to Western desires for an early East-West treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, A crucial question in NATO now is how to give West Ger many a greater voice in NATO nuclear defence. The Soviet Union says it will not sign a non ~ proliferation treaty if the West goes ahead with any allied nuclear force. Martin today put this four. point plan for practical co-op- -- among the NATO al- es: 1.Closer consultations on East-West relations so that all members could have @ better understanding of Soviet objectives and tactics. 2. Broader exchanges on world problems, hefore commitments are made which might affect the interests of other allies. 3. Closer collaboration in nuclear matters. J 4.
