Mustard gas attack on Horst Schwirkmann of the West German Embassy in Moscow is viewed by diplomats as a likely Soviet retaliation tactic. He remains near death with ongoing injuries and facial scars, while Germany seeks a formal Soviet response to protests. Schwirkmann, a technician, was attacked during a church service at Zagorsk Monastery and later evacuated to West Germany.

Farmhouse Fire Claims Lives of 10 Children
Ten children aged 2 to 16 died when a farmhouse 1 mile south of Kaosta Minnesota burned Saturday night. A 14 year old girl, Joanne Mc Connell, survived by jumping from a second story window and fleeing one mile to warn others. The parents Kenneth and Mrs Bewish were away on business in Bloomington. Cause of the blaze was unknown. The house collapsed to rubble in the basement as fire crews arrived. One victim, Roger Brown, 15, had lived with the family since his parents were killed a year ago. Five victims were from a previous marriage of Mrs Bewish. The survivor, Mc Connell, is the daughter from Mrs Bewishs first marriage. Officials said authorities had not questioned her. The article notes other political campaign details but these are unrelated to the fire story.
