all wireless apparatus III peace as
well as in war time, as matter OF
public policy. We shouldn't let this
matter wait until trouble is upon us.
The suggestion has been made
to Congress and is based fundament-
ally upon the character of wireless
telegraphy. In land telegraph lines
and submarine cables each separate
wire sends its own messages and
does not interfere with the sending
of messages on other wires. The
location and existence of these wires
and cables is a matter which can
be determined almost at moments
notice. The control of these is an
easy matter from the military or
naval point of view.
Wireless is entirely different.
The sending and receiving ma
chinery is small and readily con-
cealable and the actual transmits
sion of the message is through the
waves of the air. This means, of
course, that interference between
messages increases necessarily with
the number of messages sent unless
a perfect system with a central con-
troll is initiated. The increase in the
number of installations all over the
United States has been greater than
the development of science in re-
spect to nonnterference and the re-
suit is growing confusion.
Quite aside from the general ques-
tion of the advisability of establish
ing Government monopoly, the
considerations in favor of Govern
ment operation of wireless far out
weigh any possible disadvantages.
Central control has been demon
3trated to be necessity; it cannot
be carried out successfully except
by actual Government operation
and, more important still, the

+ CHICAGO, Feb. 2-Firemen digging
among the ice-covered ruins ofsthe tene-
ment destroyed by a gas explosion today
heard voices calling for help shortly before
noon. They are believed to come from sur
vivors imprisoned when the outer walls COL
lapsed.
That any one could be alive under the
mass of ice that covered the wrecked build
ing seemed almost impossible to fremen
An emergency call was sent to outlying
stations for more men to assist in clearing
away the debris.
The hremen later got within two feet
of an imprisoned woman.
For Gods sake, get me out" was all
she could say.
Beside the woman, who is about thirty
years old. rescuers could see the body of
a man. He was believed to be dead. The
woman, barely able to humble. can live
but short time unless released.
A hundred persons are missing and un-
accoun/d for following the explosion and
fire that wrecked an eighteen-tenement fiat
at Fourteenth place and Newberry avenue,
in the congested Ghetto district of the
West Side, early this morning.
Only two bodies have been recovered,
though the deaths are estimated variously
at from 80 to 100. Fourteen injured are
in nearby hospitals.
Fire Lieutenant John Sheehan, completing
inspection of the ruins, declared that at
least seventy, and perhaps one hundred,
dead were in the smoldering debris. The
Maxwell street police estimated the dead
at between thirty and thirty-five. Renewed
gas explosions and fresh outbursts of flames
drove back rescue parties attempting to
recover bodies.
Two thousand persons half naked and
bare ,ted, were driven from their homes
into :4e streets with the temperature nine
degrees below zero when buildings for sew
eral squares were rocked by the concussion
The building housed between 100 and
$50 persons, the police were told. 1t stood
in the most densely populated section of the
Ghetto, and most of the victims were for
eigners The structure had been condemned
some time ago and was undergoing repairs
The janitor said he believed a leaking gas
main, concerning which he had repeatedly
complained. caused the explosion.
When police and firemen arrived the walls
were crumbing. All entrances but one in
the middle of the building were blocked by
debris.
Many of the tenants were trapped in
their demolished rooms. Water poured on
the flames quickly froze and covered the
building with ice
When the explosion occurred most of the
tenants were in bed Those who were in
jured leaped from windows and from the
room. Many were caught in life nets
nets and blankets. Several babies were
thrown into the arms of policemen and
spectators by their frantic parents. Con-
sidering the number who jumped, the list
of known injured Is relatively small
Recovery of the bodies necessarily will
be slow because of the ice. Already, how
ever, scores of volunteers are using picks
and axes on tine debris in the hope that be-
hind it some of the imprisoned people may
be found alive. The police, however, are
dubious.
IL believe that more than fifty are
