Summary:

FIVE-ALARM BLAZE IN TOLEDO: A spectacular five-alarm blaze races through a downtown Toledo paint company building, doing an estimated $50,000 damage. The blaze started from a midnight explosion, heard by a passing patrol car. A three hour, pre-dawn battle by firefighters prevented a major disaster, since a four-story paint storage building is adjacent. SPORTS NEWPORT-TO-BERMUDA YACHT RACE: A record-breaking flotilla of 167 ships from nine countries sets sail from Newport under ideal conditions headed for Bermuda in the American Yachting Classic. Eight foreign countries are represented. Light breezes, the second day out, will prevent a record, however. CANADIAN PARACHUTING CHAMPIONSHIPS: Skydivers compete at Winnipeg in the Canadian parachuting championships. Canada is picking its team for the World Championships in Leipzig, East Germany, in August. Men and women compete, jumping from 6,600 feet up, doing maneuvers, and hitting a target only 35 feet across: PRESIDENT'S CUP REGATTA: A triple-fatality, the worst in speedboat racing's history, marks the President's Cup Regatta on the Potomac River in Washington. "Miss Bardahl", driven by national champ Ron Musson explodes, and later drivers Rex Manchester and Don Wilson are killed when their boats collide. It's the blackest day in the history of Hydroplane racing.
