Senator Capper Of Kansas IN state
ment issued yesterday after an inves-
tiaation of the ruins of the ill-fated
structure.
Senator Capper as a member Of the
Senate District OF Columbia commit
tee introduced resolution providing
for Senate investigation of the disas-
ter.
Government engineers on the ground
told me- said Senator Capper's state
ment. that none of the bearings OF
truss or beams upon the walls were
anchored or fastened TO the walls,
which in my judgment was a funda I
mental error in such construction, be-
cause any unusual disturbing cause
might gradually slip the beams from
their support. If the main truss had
extended farther into the wall so that
by any bending it would not have
pulled from its support the truss would
not have slipped of the supporting lin
tel and the catastrophe would have
been averted."
Coincident with Senator Capper's
statement the American Association OF
Engineers through it's Office here is
sued a statement in which it declared
the disaster was evidently due to Ell.
ther faulty design or construction
which would not have existed had IL
censed engineers or architects super
vised the work. The association has a
