Flames had made considerable headway by the time the City Fire Department arrived on the scene. they were greatly hampered in their work by dense volumes of smoke.

As far as could be determined the blaze started in the rear of the second floor apparently from faul- ty electrical wiring or fitting. To get the fire completely extinguish- ed lt was necessary for the fire- men to tear off a large portion of lthe roof.

The flight a few days ago was reported to be more a test of range than of accuracy. load-carry- ing ability or manoeuvrability. The testing officials were said to have decided to just let the missile fly until it ran out of fuel.

The Snark is 32 feet long and 4'5 feet in diameter. it flies high. and close to the speed of sound-which above 30,000 feet is 870 miles an

Fire Destroys Mansion Of Billy Rose

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. (AP)- Fire destroyed showman Billy Rose's Z!-room country mansion Monday. reducing to ashes his costly collection of irresplaceable paintings and art objects.

Rose said only one painting was salvaged from his collection. And it was one of his less-treasured ones.

"I don't want to talk about the paintipgs or list their value," said Rose. distraught to a point where he was all but overcome. "This is a terrific emotional loss."

The Broadway producer was known to have collected more than 37,50,000 worth of valuable paint- ings-includlllg Renoirs. a Remem- brandt, a Rubens. a Daumier. a mans gals, a Holbein, a Titian. ay William Turner and a Thomas. Hart Benton.

Some of these he had dispoed of. notably the Rembrandt for which he paid s75.000..Rose also owned 3 s25o,o0o collection of Eng- lish silver.
