News in Brief: Indo-China, Fire Guts Native Quarter. Flames fanned by strong winds race through a native quarter in Saigon, and firemen are powerless to cope with the rampaging inferno. Hundreds of thatched-roof buildings are leveled and thousands flee for their lives. Firefighters try to do what they can but the homes are of course entirely flammable. Frightening shot of children climbing up onto a thatched roof, smoke billowing from other buildings behind them. Sad.
