A woman and two of her six children died only a few feet from safety early Sunday when fire destroyed their two-storey frame home on the city out- skirts. About 24 hours earlier, all four children of another Sud- bury family died in a fire in their two-storey frame home, Gloom Cast Over Visit By Nasser ALGIERS (AP)--The death of Algeria's foreign minister the worst Nile River tragedy in modern history cast gloom to- day over the triumphal visit to Algeria of President Nasser of the United Arab Republic. Festivities in Nasser's honor were called off as the Algerian government proclaimeda day of national mourning for Mo- hamed Khemisti, the foreign minister. isti, 33, died Sunday, 24 days after a fanatic assassin fired a bullet into his Egyptian villagers mourned 216 people who were drowned Saturday when an overloaded ferry capsized near Maghagha, on the upper Nile. A political plit in Syria also clouded Nasser's mission to drum up Algerian support for Arab unity. DOUBT WILL JOIN Nasser would like to include In Sunday's fire, Mrs. Freda McNeil and her children--Letty, 10, and Billy, 8--were trapped in the flaming house after the two children ran back upstairs, apparently to find their mother. George McNeil, 37, rescued the four other children but was restrained by firemen from go- ing back' into the house. He and his wife had thrown Deborah, 9, Ronald, 6, Francis, 4 and Jean, 3, from a secomd-storey window. Firemen said McNeil raced downstairs to find the two other children but could not because of smoke and flames. The body of Mrs. McNeil was found with one child in her arms and the other a few feet further inside the door. The dead in Saturday's fire were the only children of Mr. and Mrs. Clement Neville: Claudie, 5, Willy, 3, Brenda, 2, and Sandria, nine days. Two other children were res- cued. by passersby from the and porch roof of the Neville house as flames shot through a bed- room window. Firemen said Claudia might have been saved along with Garnett Gilbert, 8, and his brother yy, 6, if the girl had been willing, to crawl onto the porch roof. wouldn't be- cause she was sed only in panties. The Gilbert children are the sons of a relative of Mrs. Nev- ille, Mrs. Neville suffered burns to her face and arms.

Although Algerian crowds hailed Nasser as "'E) rais'"' (the chief) on his triumphant arrival here Saturday, Khemisti's death served as a grim reminder of the difficulties in the path of Arab unity. Khemisti was shot shortly after he returned from the Mid- die East, which he criticized to friends and reporters. He indi- cated that he preferred the path of co-operation with France for his country. "I punished the traitor of the revolution," screamed the as- sassin after he shot Khemisti on April 11.

The Dominican troops were wine} mShed_to the border town of Jimani Sunday night amid un- confirmed rumors that Presi- dent Juan Bosch would order an invasion unless Haitian Pres- ident Francois Duvalier's re- gime made good on its promise to give safe conduct out of the country to 15 political opponents who took refuge in the Domini- can embassy in Port au Prince. WANTS EXCUSE One highly placed source said Bosch was ready to "use any excuse" to set off an armed clash with Duvalier's forces.

(CP) The federal cabinet will decide this week what assistance it will provide two northern communi- ties over-run by flood waters and massive ice floes. Northern Affairs Minister Ar- thur Laing said the work of re- Hay River, N.W.T. and eg Re Ag N.W.T., 500 and 625 miles north of Edmonton, respectively, will begin as soon as flood waters recede. About 150 persons, mostly: women, applauded the minister here during the weekend when he told them claims for dam- age in the hard-hit town of Hay River will be paid by the fed- eral government when approved by a team of assessors to be flown to the scene. He added about 50 homes de- stroyed or damaged in Fort n will be repaired or re- stored on high ground. The minister estimated dam- age at Hay River at $1,600,000, two - thirds of the .timated value of property in the town of 1800. S. W. Hancock, Fort Simp- son administrator, estimated damage in his centre at more than $750,000. A trailer camp will be estab- lished near Hay Bay and 50 trailers moved in by the federal government this week. Floor victims evacuated from the set- tlement will begin to return by Wednesday. Tents will be set up at Fort Y s Mayor W. R. McByran of Hay River said he was satisfied with the federal government's plan- ned assistance program.

About 1,600 residents have been evacuated from the towns. Ice on Great Slave Lake held back the spring thaw on the northward - flowing Hay River and .ons of ice and billions of gallons of water swept across a delta-shaped island at the mouth of the river upon which the town was built. At its worst, the water rose 20 feet above normal. It now has receded but in its wake floating sewage from cesspools has created a health hazard. More than 1,100 doses of ty- phoid vaccine were given in Hay River and an area five miles around the town was placed under quarantine, No person will be permitted to einter or leave the quaran- tined area without permission.

Further flooding threatened the community Saturday night but did not materialize. Early Sunday a skeleton task force was taken to the island and found the water level un- changed. More than a third of the town still was under water. The community was his when ice on the mighty Mackenzie, more than 1,000 miles long and key to the Makenzie River sys- tem, backed up the run off from the Liard, one of its main tribu- taries. First tents to be established at Fort Simpson were taken in by RCAF aircraft Sunday. Mr. Laing said the emergency would be over sooner at Fort Simpson than at Hay River and the tents would not be needed for more than a week or two. Temperatures in t he regions ranged between 40 and 50 de- greees Sunday, but there was no indication when the Mackenzie would break up. The sky was clear and there was little wind. Mr. Laing had high praise for the emergency flood operation. "It is almost incredible that such an operation would be 'car- ried out without injury."

Immigration officials halted correspondent Nathan Miller of the Baltimore Sun at the Port au Prince airport as he was buying a ticket for the United States. He was told to report today to the ministry of in- terior.

Tellier was grabbed by two prisoners and held while they demanded that they be trans- ferred to another prison. He was slashed and stabbed while he was being held. Prison guards charged the cell where he was being held, opening fire with pistols as they moved in. One of the prisoners, Marcel Marcoux, 34, was killed and his cousin Claude, 21, was wounded. It was announced Thursday that Tellier, 35-year-old father of three, had died from the slashes and stab wounds. A mongue official said today the autopsy showed that he had been hit four times by bullets-- twice in the heart, once in the head and once in the shoulder. The autopsy report said he might have died in any event from a stab wound that pierced his lung. An inquest into Tellier's death and the shooting of Marcoux is to resume shortly. It was started last week but adjourned after the bodies were formally identified. Meanwhile, Warden Michel LeCorre said '"'a feeling of ex- treme tension" has built up among the prisoners since the incident.

Military authorities here spec- ulated that all three persons on the jeep may have. been injured in the initial explosion. Commu- nist guerrillas have a record of killing all wounded they find, but taking unwounded prisoners. The lieutenant was the 73rd American killed in the Vietna- mese war since late 1961.
