Mr. and Mrs. Fitch discovered the
apartment house ablaze from a fire
that started in the apartment across
the hall from theirs.
The blaze had made such prog-

Fitches were trapped in the house.
They turned in the alarm to fire-
men by phone.
Firemen believed there were no
other persons trapped in the build-
ing. The blaze threatened to des-
troy the structure.
Other occupants of the apart-
ment house included Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Thomas and children and Mr.

WASHINTON. March 11. ()-
Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers rest-
ed his case today without calling
• a single witness in defense of a
charge that he induced a business
associate to lie to a senate com-
mittee.
Attorneys for the retired Air
Force officer laid the groundwork,
however, for a plea for the gener-
al's outright acquittal. This plea
to the court was to be based on a
contention that the Senate group
which inquired Into Meyers' busi-
• ness affairs last fall was illegal.
The only evidence placed before
the federal jury in defense of Mey-
ers was a series of Senate reso-
/ lutions creating the Senate War In-
vestigating Committee.
For the first time in the trial.
Meyers' wife, the former Holly-
wood actress, Ila Ray, showed up
in the courtroom.
It was Delta's first accident in
scheduled operations since 1934
Last year the airlines received a
special citation from the National
Safety Council. .
"Something went wrong" and the
huge craft caught fire when only
a few feet above the runway, Del-
ta's district traffic manager said.
There was no further explanation.
Among the Identified dead were
two Chicago brothers on their way
to the bedside of their father, near
death in Miami Beach. Fla. The
two were Harold Levy, 47. pro-
minent criminal lawyer, and Ralph
