MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Washington, July 2
(AP) — A fire eating out
false ceilings and floors on
the 2nd floor uf the Pen-
tagon has reportedly ^de-
stroyed much secret data
and i* threatening millions of
dollars worth of statistical com-
puting equipment. Fire fight-
ers from all parts of Washing-
ton have responded to the 5,
alarm fire.
At least 15 firemen and
building guards have been sent
to hospitals. An equal number
have been treated for smoke
inhalation at the scene and
have been returned to duty.
The Pentagon itself • is fire-
proof and appears in no dan-
ger. In the great concourse en-
trance to the huge building:,
however, portions of the floor
have buckled from the heat.
Firemen, u s i n £ pneumatic
hammers and drills, have punch-
ed through the concrete floor-
ing to get water to the heart
of the fire. It is believed to
have started in defective wir-
ing behind the false ceiling in
the concourse area.

Four Escapees
Quickly Nabbed
At Cleveland
Cleveland, July 2 UR — Four
prisoners sawed their way out
of the Cuyahoga County Jail
in Cleveland early today, but
were recaptured a few minutes
later.
One of the four was 33-year-
old Lonas Ray Caughorn, who
was awaiting return to Kpox-
ville, Tenn., to face charges as
an escaped federal prisoner.
The others were identified
as Ralph Roberts, held for
armed robbery; James Bond, in
jail for burglary and larceny,
and Robert Knapil, held for
armed robbery.
Knapil was captured as he
worked his way nearly 50 feet
down the outside of the build-
ing to the ground by means of
a rope fashioned from bed
sheets and a garden hose.
The other three were cap-
tured in the office of Sheriff
Joseph Sweney. Officers said
the desperados appeared to be
searching fflt weapons.
Pouring of concrete for the
south traffic lane of the new
Interstate 30 superhighway
section between Brashear and
the start of the Sulphur
Springs bypass at the Lindley
Creek corner will be complet-
ed late Thursday or Friday.
Work on the huge project has
been moving a li e a d at full
speed this week after a series
of dAiys due to recent rains.
Glen Fry, senior resident en-
gineer here for the Texas High-
way Department, said concrete
pouring will be suspended for
about six w^eks after comple-
tion of the presnt section.
The interval will permit oth-
er phases of the job to be com-
pleted and allow a continuous
run of concrete work through
the remaining life of the proj-
ect.
To Divert Traffic
Fry estimated that traffic
will be diverted to the new
south lane of the highway in
about three weeks so that the
present route can be cleared
for construction purposes.
The present highway will be
used as the north main traffic
lane in several sectina. Part
of the old pavement will be
removed and re-built and one
new bridge must be provided.
I . T.h e present route through
Brashear will be used while
work on the north lane is un-
der way. Vehicles will be
switched onto the new south
lane on both sides of Brashear-
The new Interstate 30 route
includes a bypass around Bra-
shear to the north, but work on
this section has been given a
the south lane now is being
emphasized. Material has been
delivered for the west end of
the project from t h t bridges
northwest of Brashear to the
start of the present four-lane
paving at the Cumby under-
pass intersection.
Fry said that there is a good
possibility that paving will be-
gin on the Sulphur Springs by-
pass project during the period
that it is suspended on the
Lindley Creek-Cumby job.
Completion of four-lane pav-
ing on the bypass and construc-
tion of grade separations are
being carried out under a sep-
arate contract from the job to
the west.

Austin, (AP) — Gov-
ernor Daniel opened the
door to many new topics
for the special legislative
session today, including
loan shark regulation,
traffic safety and boat safety.
He submitted five special
topics for the law,makers to
work on during the balance of
the 2nd called session. He also
submitted a long list of general
and local subjects for consid-
eration. Legislation in a special
setaijon is limited to topics
which have been submitted to
it by the governor.
The Texas Senate, mean-
while, is waiting for a working

job of pumping enough addi-

to cover state spending in 1960-

Two oil andftgas tax propo-
sals that would fill out the

Committee in Austin today.
Then they were sent to sub-
committees.
Another meeting of the

Representative Clyde Miller

would be accompanied by a
reduction of the present 5 cent
