Studies on how to prevent another similar fire in) the Pentagon, the world’s largest office building, were, under way. ‘The blaze swept a super-secret Pentagon basement hideaway yesterday afternoon. It buckled concrete floors, and destroyed tightly-' guarded electronic equip-| ‘ment. - Three hundred firemen battled| ithe fire, and 40 were felled by the) Air Force data, some of it stamped “secret.”’ The breakdown of the water system caused Defense Secre- tary Neil H. McElroy to dismiss the entire Pentagon working force of some 29,000 military and | civilian employes, giving them an early start on a three-day Fourth of duly weekend. Many, working in unaffected sec- tions of the massive five-sided con- ‘crete building, had been unaware of the fire. The blaze was confined to a’ small section — 20,000 square feet — of the Pentagon's total area, al- though smoke poured through an area equal to about four city blocks. Structural damage was esti- mated at from $200,000 to $5,- 000,000, depending on who was guessing. This was on top of the the $30,000,000 loss of computers, tapes.and equipment in the Air Force’s hush-hush statistical cen- ter, By 4:15 p.m., about five hours after the blaze started, the Penta- gon announced the fire was “‘ex- tinguished’ for all practical pur- poses, OVERNIGHT WATCH As firemen packed up, military police moved, in.’ They formed a cordon around the damaged area and kept an overnight watch. .

These rules will be set out in & three-part series—“Swim for Safety” —presented by The Press in coopera- tion with the YMCA.) Summer means swimming time to most young Americans and to a good many older ones, too. * * * Judging by past swimming sea- sons, the summer will also mean the end of a thousand or more American lives — mostly. young lives. Last year 19 persons in Oak- land County met death by drown- ing in local lakes.. These were tragic deaths, and particularly sad is the fact that most of them need not have happened if simple rules of water safety had heen learned and practiced. The first step toward water safety? It is learning to swim— and to swim well—according to John Moreau, Pontiac YMCA |swimming instructor. “DEADLY COMBINATION’ id “Those, who cant) swim well should not only sii out of deep j é |water, but should also stay out of jcanoes and other small craft that are likely to capsize,” he said. “Nonswimmers and small boats form a deadly combination which is doubly-lethal when mixed with deep water.” If you can’t swim and—despite reading these rules—go out in a small boat, try to cling to it, should it capsize. * * * “Most rowboats or canoes will remain afloat,’ Moreau said. “If inonswimmers would hang on to them instead of frantically strik- ing out for shore, not nearly as| many would drown.” Children should not be entrusted to the mercy of water-wings or old tire tubes in deep waters or unguarded swimming pools, CAN SLIP OFF They can lose the water-wihgs and slip off of the tires. guarded pools under competent adult. instruction. Almost any body of water can look inviting’ on a warm day. But with waterholes as with people, it is wise to get acquainted before accepting invitations. For water sports, unfamiliar waters are unsafe waters, The safe places to go swim- ming are areas that are re- served and maintained for that pte s inevae Jae epee 18 County News ............ 15 Editorials .......... das ay
