Khrushchev noted that the west Blaze Hits Hotel; Three Known Dead HAZLETON, Pa. (AP)-Scream ing in terror, guests shinnied down cables or climbed or were borne down fire ladders early today as flames raged up an elevator shaft of the five-story Gary Hotel. Authorities said there were 3 known dead, 2 other persons un accounted for and 2 more critically hurt. At least 24 persons were taken to hospitals for treatment of burns, cuts, smoke poisoning and shock. The register of the 100-room, 75-year-old hotel in Hazleton's business district showed a listing of 61 persons.

of the dead were removed soon- after the fire broke out. A third body was found later. The entire front wall of the hotel collapsed into heaps of rubble. It was thought the two missing persons might be dead in this wreckage. Victims fled from the flaming building, their night clothes ablaze.

Others stood and sat dazed in the street as 100 firemen from four companies fought the raging fire for more than two hours. Efforts to control the blaze were hampered by icy streets and ice coated hoses resulting from the biting 23 degree weather. Flames shot from the windows and burst through the roof of the brick building as firemen arrived. Residents stood at windows on the upper floors screaming for help. Two of these were George Klem, 22, and his wife, Beverly, 18.

The Klems waited 20 minutes for help at the window of their fourth floor, rear apartment. Finally, in desperation, Mrs. Klem grabbed a television cable and slid to a pole from where she was able to swing to the roof of an adjoining Hi story building. Her husband followed by the same route. Both suffered lacerations of the hands.

Faubus said an investigation would be made. Origin of the blaze that de stroyed the dormitory within an hour could not be dtermined immediately. Faubus said he had been told there was an electrical storm at the time. Survivors Dazed The dazed survivors, ranging in age from 14 to 17, wandered about as firemen, sheriff's officers, and prisoners from a nearby penal farm tried to quench the smouldering ruins of the dormitory. Fire Capt.

Bill Deaton said he saw eight bodies in a pile and nine other bodies had been taken from the charred remains of the 20-year-old building. A vocational teacher who normally slept in the building was in the hospital at the time the fire broke out. George Williamson, 16, a sur vivor, said: "I heard screaming and hollering. There was smoke all over. I couldn't see any thing.

I found a window and got out." Governor Grim Faubus appeared grim as he surveyed the glowing rubble. I inspected this school a year ago and found it safe," the gov ernor said. "It's the first time anything like this has happened at such an institution in Arkansas." First reports said 21 boys were missing but the figure was revised after a roll call was taken. Then came his remarks about a postponement. He warned again that the Soviet Union will sign a separate peace treaty with Communist East Ger many if the West refuses to sign a peace treaty with all of Germany.

Warns Against Force Khrushchev also warned the West against using force on the Communist world. "Whoever bumps us with his elbow will break it," he said. He said the Soviet demand for a peace treaty was made urgent by the fact that nearly 14 years have elapsed since the end of World War II. Speaking after Khrushchev, East Germany's Communist lead er Walter Ulbricht said: "Our people desire a peace treaty. Further delay can no longer be tolerated." Needling Mr.

The Soviet premier may not be moving fast enough for the impatient East German leaders. The Red army brought them out of Soviet exile at the end of World War II and put them in charge of East Germany. Ulbricht and his associates badly want the symbols of mastery In their own house. They feel that the sooner they get them, 'the sooner other governments will recognize them as rulers of a real nation. The East German Communists have an uncomfortable feeling that Khrushchev considers them at least partly expendable in the global East-West diplomatic warfare.

Just A Part The Soviet leader undoubtedly regards Germany as only part-though an important part of the whole world picture. He may feel he can gain concessions from the West by delaying, perhaps indef initely, giving the East German satellite government the stronger powers it is seeking.

S. Secret Service. Paul J.

Paterni, head of the Chicago Secret Service office, said the counterfeit notes were recovered in 22 states. He said that 25 persons have been arrested since November as agents worked quietly to stamp out the counterfeiting network. Paterni said the operation was finished off Wednesday night with the arrest of two Chicago men he termed the ringleaders. Paterni said the gang passed about $25,000 of spurious bills successfully, but added, "We have recovered all of the money passed through department stores and other merchants." Much of the bogus money was purchased by undercover agents in an effort to stem the flood without thwarting ef forts to round up the counter feit gang.
