Commission and Sub"
Boss Disagree on Best
Way to Pack in Crowds

The gong system has failed to
speed up traffic in the subways
according to Col. William C. Lam
caster, chief engineer of the Traf-
fic Commission, because the COM
pan;es do not hire enough trained
platform men.
The whole idea of the gong sys-
tenn is that crowds can be trained
to leave and enter subway cars
faster than they do now, a matter
which the jammcd, trampled and
otherwise harrassed Interborough
passengers seem to dissent from.
Col. Lancaster's idea is that if you
have big enough force you can
pack them in, while the Interborough
managers insist that if those on the
present payroll are sufficiently
ssfraid of losing their jobs they will
be able to poke the passengers
through the doors without adding to
operating expenses.
Neither of them propose better
and faster equipment or more trains
to reduce the crowds on the plat
forms.

POLICE GUARD
BALBO, FASCIST
Mussolini's Gangster Is
Very Much Afraid

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 20.-Guard-
ed by five Chicago detectives, on
the request of the Italian consul at
Chicago, Italo Balbo, minister of
the Italian air service and leader of
the fascist gangsters, passed thru
Kansas City today en- route for an
unannounced destination in southern
California.
Both Balbo and the Italian con-
suls in the various cities refuse to
state the reason for these unusual
precautions, but it is generally
known that Balbo fears anti-fascist
demonstrations aroused by his
cruelty to workers in Italy. Balbc
lis noted for his assassination. Of
revolutionary workers and his fas-
cist terror.
When he arrived in Kansas City
four additional policemen stood
guard over his car and no one was
admitted to enter the train. Balbo
did not leave his cosch. The Italian
consul at Kansas City requested
that authorities here and at points
in Kansas take measures to "pro-
tect Balbo and others in the party"
When Balbo first arrived in New
York he disembarked in a special
tug and made dash for the Penn
sylvania terminal to avoid a pos
sible anti-fascist demonstration. The
following day a large mass meet
ing was held in New York under
the auspices of the Anti-Fascist AL
lance protesting the presence of the
fascist gangster and terrorist on
American soil.
Balbo is here as Mussolini's rep
resentative to the International
Aeronautical Conference recently
held in Washington. The Soviet
Union was not invited to this con-
ference.

BOTH DELAYED
Row Among Senators

insult Man, West, Gets
Committee Approval

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Sen-
ators King and Norris, filibustering
two hours against the 15-cruise1
bill in the Senate this afternoon be-
cause they are in favor of first con-
sidering the other of American i'm
perialism's two principal bills, the
Kellogg pacts, succeeded in getting
both bills postponed until after the
Christmas recesses, when the ques-
tion of which shall be considered
first will arise once more.
King and Norris have thus sue
ceeded in breaking the cloak-room
agreement which all other groups in
the Senate made yesterday, that the
cruisers should be voted on at once,
and the Kellogg war treaties should
come up Immediately after the re-
cess.
The agreement to postpone both
bills was apparently made only as
a last resort to prevent the filibus-
ter from continuing until Saturday
adjournment time and thus tying
up all business of the senate.
1t was proposed by Chairman
Borah of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, who pledged he
would make a motion as soon as the
Senate met January 8 to proceed
with the consideration of the treaty
in open executive session. He indi-
Gated he hoped by this motion to
get the treaty passed before the
naval bill.

z FIREMEN HURT
FIGHTING L-AzE:
Five-Story Building on
Fifth Ave. Razed

More than twelve firemen at
tached to five fire stations through
out Manhattan were injured early
yesterday morning while fighting
one of the fiercest blazes of recent
years that broke out in the five
story building at 139 Fifth Ave.
shortly after a. m.
The building, wedged in between
two taller buildings, was completely
enveloped in flames a few minutes
after the fire was discovered, and
the sole job of the fire-fighters was
to keep the fire from spreading to
adjoining buildings.
More than twelve firemen were
badly cut by flying glass and over
come by smoke. Several of them
were taken to the New York Hos
pital for treatment. The roof of
the burning building collapsed with
a crash that was heard for blocks
around, and only the rumbling Of
the walls before the crash saved
the firemen who had penetrated the
building from horrible death un-
der the heavy t.mbers and bricks.
Sparks from The five-story build
ing caused fires in both the adjoin-
ing buildings, but these were put
out without much difficulty.
Damage was estimated at between
S500,000 and $1,000,000.
