Ane Hall fire called rson A small fire burnt out a stall in an Angell Hall men's restroom adjacent to Aud. A last night. Fire investigators termed the blaze arson. Police and Fire Department de- tectives removed a bag of an uni- dentified fabric from the restroom following the fire, which broke out at 9:45 p.m. The fire was discovered when a person walked into the bathroom and found it full of smoke. He told the auditorium supervisor, Steve Barnette, who notified University security. Firemen had to crouch low to fight the thick smoke. Smoke stains covered the walls of the stall though the rest of the room was not badly damaged. At the time of the fire, approxi- mately 200 people were watching the movie, "Taking Off," presented by the Ann Arbor Film Co-op in Aud. A. The film was stopped while Steven Bernardi, co-manager of the film co-op, informed the audience that there was a fire in the men's bathroom and that the fire 'depart- ment had it under control. "The general reaction was laugh- ter with some clapping," Bernardi said. "The fire department told us to keep the movie going, so we did." The commotion caused by the fire engines brought a small group of onlookers to the vicinity. They watched as firemen put out the blaze and installed fans to suck the dense smoke out of the hall.

There was no explanation why the government chose to quote po- litical observers as expressing Thieu's viewpoint.
