The fire interrupted prepara tions for the wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sweetland. Their multi-tiered wedding cake was among one of the first items to be carried from the burning I house. Paul Sweetland, a member of Phi Mu Delta and a Penn State basketball star, and his wife, the former Elaine Baker, both had graduated from Penn State at commencement exercises earlier that day. Thick smoke at first halted the firemen in their fight and brought them back down the ladders gasping for oxygen masks. But the fire-opened roof at last gave them a - direct entrance to the flames, centered in the small attic area between the third floor and the roof. The aerial ladder was then quickly shifted to the parking lot to the rear of the - house and the flames were attacked from direct ly overhead. Auxiliary hoses played . a steady stream of water through the north and south attic windows. As flames and smoke poured out of the building, chairs, mat tresses, books, and dresser draw ers were hastily thrown from the second's tor y windows. Passersby and neighbors joined the fraternity members and fire men in helping to save the fur niture. Parents who had only a few hours earlier had proudly taken pictures of their sons in Com mencement robes before the fra ternity house, again took pictures of the burning house. Losses of personal items were at a frac tion. of what they would have been a week or so before when all the members of the house were present, many parents noted thankfully. Fraternity members still liv ing -in the house were given rooms in other fraternity houses. The wedding reception for Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sweetland was held later in the evening at the Wesley Foundation of St. Paul's Meth odist Church. STATE COLLEGE. PA., TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 14. 1960 Burns Fire FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Crowds other to Meet Eisenhower in-Manila MANILA-(VP) Filipinos were gathering to give President Eisenhower a bright ,wel come today on the typhoon-season Asian tour that threatens him with a political storm • in Japan. Police estimated two million or more will line banner-bedecked streets by the time , Ei senhower, the first U.S. President to visit the Far East, reaches Manila. There was no advance indication of any thing to mar a rousing reception here, though the weather had been acting up. Heavy showers Sunday night and yesterday reminded Manilons that a wet period is at hand. President Carlos P: Garcia said he expects Eisenhower's three-day visit to "fortify and uplift the spirit of free nations in this part of the world." Garcia urged citizens of the Philippines, a former. U.S. colony that was given independence in 1946, to welcome him "in the best tradition of Filipino hospitality." Filipinos are pro-American al most to a man and they needed no urging. They poured in from the prov inces by the thotiSands to this city of two million even before Eisen hower took off from Alaska on t he tour taking him to the Philip pines, Formosa, Okinawa, Japan and South Korea. The schedule called for Ei senhower and Garcia to make the 10-mile ride from the air port to Malacanang Palace, the Philippines' sprawling - wood and stucco White House, in an open car. It is expected that this drive, between cheering throngs and beneath triumphal arches, will take more than an hour. Some opposition political forces grumbled that the Eisenhower visit will boost the Filipino Pres ident's bid for .re-election in stiff campaigning of 1961. Eisenhower's stop here is considered a prestige builder for the Philippines and some of the prestige obviously. will rub off on Garcia. About 200 Alaskans braved a cold wind to see Eisenhower off from Anchorage. The President reviewed a military, honor 'guard with Lr. Gen. Frank A. Arm strong Jr., commander of.. the armed forces in Alaska. He went down a receiving4ipe and . shook hands with other - military offi cers. En route here the President crossed the international dale line, which turned Monday into Tuesday. He Will get his day back when he returns via Hawaii June 22.
