| Fire Victim's Souls Commended to God |
| CHICAGO, Dec. 5 - (AP) - The souls of 27 small victims of Chicago's tragic school fire were commended to God Friday in a color-rich ceremony conducted in the stark setting of a military drill hall. |
| The fire tonight claimed its 91st victim, Victor Jocobellis, 9. He suffered extensive burns. |
| A hushed crowd of 7000 mourners jammed the Northwest Armory for the mass funeral. |
| Archbishop Albert Gregory Meyer sang a requiem high mass while Cardinal Francis Spellman of New York looked on from a red-draped throne to the left of the altar. |
| Bishop Raymond Hillinger thanked the world for its compassion and told it, in turn, that love and charity had risen like the fabled phoenix from the ashes of the fire. |
| These were the final rites for 27 of the 88 youngsters who perished in the blaze that spread quick death Monday in Our Lady of the Angels school. Separate services were held for the other children and the three nuns who died with the. |
