CIVIL SERVICE
ADVOCATED FOR
FIRE FIGHTERS
Suggestion of Underwriters
Virtually Ignored

BY DICK MILLER

Although now in the second low

lines suggested by national boarc
of fire underwriters, contained II
bulletins since 1926.
National board engineers, IN
speeding the department, do not TX
rates, check on individual men In
the ranks, suggest promotions OF
demotions, but merely check equip
ment and general efficiency WITH
which it is handled, acting as friend
ly advisers to the board Of safety.
However, it is on report of these
engineers that underwriters classify
the city in fire rate divisions.
Several years ago cities were
classified as IL Il -2-2k 1874 "a II
Now cities are classified from / to 10
as 1913 class cities, the halves being
eliminated. After the last inspec-

was set at 2. For a city the size
of indianapolis this is regarded as q
good rating, one possible of improve

by the grand jury. The extraordinary
investigation ended after IL witnesses
had been examined In less than four

House Naval Chairman Urges
Recall of Americas
Delegation.

Despite optimistic views held In some
governmental circles over the work OF
the London naval conference, Chairman
Britten of the House naval committee
said in q statement today that the
American delegation should be with.
drawn and the conference adjourned
SO the United States could proceed Win
its warship construction program.
Britten said the conference had blown
I'D and that even a two-power equality
agreement between the United States
and England would not be permitted by
the British admiralty.
He said in view Of reports OF six
months recess that "the best interest
of the American Navy would call Tor
a complete adjournment at this time.
while the very life and continuation OF
the Ramsay Macdonald Labor govern
ment might depend upon q recess rather
than q fiasco."
BIannes British Admiralty.
Britten blamed the British admiralty
for what he called the failure of the
conference, and said that six months
recess would mean "the continued arb1-
trary domination of the seas by Great
Britain"
"In any future European emergency y
he added, 1.-The British navy will repeat
its indefensible and unlawful World war
attacks upon all neutral commerce ano
American interests will suffer serious
losses and probable confscation by Lon
don prize courts.
"The American public should not be
beguiled into the belief that Italy OF
France is responsible for this latest
flzzle."
Britten said the American delegates
had Leaned packard in an attempt TO
preserve the conference"
In the face Of news from London in
dicating a recess, however, 1t was the
view of the American Government today
that more progress was being made at
the parley than appeared on the surface
Consultative Proposals Traced.
It has been learned definitely that
proposals for consultative pactS as 9
means of arriving at some agreement
have come from no one OF the nve
powers represented at the London Con-
ference and have been given no con-
sideration by any Of them.
It has been revealed that these pro-
poSals have come from outside groups
chiefly from individuals and organiza-
lions in this country, who, 1t L
assumed, have been prompted nS
patriotic motives, and who, 1t Is also
assumed, are trying to be helpful In
bringing about world disarmament.
AS a matter of fact. the proposed
consultative pacts do not interest tht
! powers attending the conference. F1rs'
of all, they would not insure the re-
duction of a single ton in naval arma'
| ment, but they would create necessity
for military guarantees on the part o.
| powers entering such pacts. As for tins
United States, it is known authorita'
| lively that this Government would nevel
agree to any pact which would necesSi'
tate using its feet to enforce the terms

3,lo0-mile crossing from Cherbourg in
4 days, IL hours and minutes.

ord established last october by the
Bremen, which on that occasion bet
tered by 10 minutes the time Of heI
maiden voyage last July when she de-
throned the long-reigning Cunard uneI
Mauritania.
Weather Was Adverse.
The voyage of the Europa was made
under more difiicult weather conditions
record breaking run. Throughout the
voyage she buffeted strong head winds
and heavy seas.
The Europa closely resembles the
Bremen in construction and appear
ance, the two ships being built under
the same broad specifications for size
and speed. However, they are the
products of different designers and diff
ferent shipbuilders.
Both are built low to eliminate wind
resistance, but the Europa, the con-
struction Of which was delayed by two
fires, contains q number of changes
over the Bremen designed to make her
speedier and more comfortable.

The generation of steam is by oil

power is created by four large Diesel
driven dynamos supplying current to
40 electric motors and an equal num-

deck are two large Diesel-driven dy-

machinery should the main station
cease to function.
