SEA DISASTER
is PICTURED IN
TIMES FILMS
Holocaust Is Seen in New
Reel: Burning Liner
Shown Plainly.

The terrific holocaust which de-
stroyed the S. S. MORO Castle with
a loss of nearly 200 lives is seen in
the current issue of The Times
Universal newsreel which has Ora
ham McNamee, noted radio an
.nouncer as its talking reporter"
Hundreds of coast guards. seamen,
and fishermen struggle against an
angry sea to rescue the trapped va
cationists while many perish in
floating tomb. The burning liner is
seen plainly at closet range from the
Universal Newsreel camera plane.
ReScuers struggle up the beaches
with the suffering victims, over
whom first aid squads worked for
hours. The stories of heroic efforts
made by survivors to save them
selves are an impressive feature of
the current reel.
The smoking hulk which broke
from her convoy and went aground
on the beach at Asbury Park, N j.
endangering homes and public
buildings along the shore, is grim
reminder of the tragedy and draws
hundreds of thousands to see it.

LAW FOR i. S.
SHIPS NEARING
Moro Castle Disaster May
Pave Way for Sweeping
Safety Act.

~ NeFtpps-H oicard Newspaper Aliarcs
WASHINGTON, Sept I4.-Out
OF the MORO Castle disaster may
come congressional action 20 make
American ships fireprOOf.
President Roosevelt's plea for
steel construction throughout was
concurred in today by Commerce
Secretary Daniel c. Roper, who re-
ported that he is awaiting results
from the department Investigation
into the ship fire to draft congress
Slonal recommendations
That's the only way for a ship
to be built-but our hands have
been tied by lack of specific law"
said j. w. Barnett. assistant director
of the bureau OF construction loans
Of the United States shipping board,
which supervised building OF the
Moro Castle and its sister ship,
the Oriente.
Experts Long at Work
I'VE have gone as far as we could
in that direction and have put in
more and more steel and noninham-
mable construction in new vessels
to protect against fire" he ex-
planned I'VE have had experts
working on this problem a long
time"
There is no law now to prevent
vessels from using fabricated card
board walls for staterooms, and
other ihflammable materials for
other interior uses, according to A.
j. T.rer, assistant director of the
bureau of navigation and steamboat
inspection.
While the Moro Castle was re-
plete with such construction and
furnishings. it was considered one
of the most modern and finest
ships afloat in that sort of service"
Mr.. Tyrer said.
The vessel received thorough APP
proval whenever it was up for in
spection by the department staff,
the records show. According to Mr..
Roper the last inspection was on
Aug. 4.
Treaty May Be Ratified
In discussing the PleSluenI plan
for complete steel construction and
the barring of all infammables in
both building and furnishing ships,
Secretary Roper said:
I'VE will be governed in our rec
concentrations for future legislation
by the results from the Moro Castle
investigation"
Both Secretary Roper and Mr..
Tyrer predicted that one result will
be prompt ratification by the sem
ate of the ship safety treaty, which
has been pending during the last
two sessions of congress.
This treaty, already ratified by
eighteen oOf the leading maritime
nations of the world. would
strengthen the American law as to
rules governing the handling of
radio and life-saving equipment 1t
provides for bulkheads and fire
screens to make the hull f1reproof.

When bending, allow space through which to
thread the rope.
Heavy wood screws should be used to fasten
the other arm to the cross bar. few drops
of oil at the hinge joint allow free movement
of the swing. Two hinges should be used one
for each rope.

INSTALLMENT II.

- OR several days after their first visit to
the boat house Keith, Bill and Mary
- spent every available minute there.
They were careful to keep their ae-
tions secret which was comparatively
easy, because the boat house was on
section of the shore which was now little
frequented. The fashionable cottage neigh
borhood had moved steadily the other way since
the new club house had been built.
One Afternoon, however they had just left the
boat house in their canoe when Mary uttered an
exclamation of annoyance
'Looki' she directed. There's Fred Linke"
Keith and Bill turned quickly and saw an
other canoe behind them and farther out in
the lake. They recognized its occupant as their
arch-enemy.
Darn the luck!" exclaimed Bill. "Do you
suppose he saw us coming away from the boat
houSe?"
ut won't mean anything to him if he did,"
Keith replied reassuringly. He couldn't have
any idea why we stopped there"
mo, but later on, when things begin to
happen, he might guess" said Mary.
Well" said Bill emphatically, ''an can say is
that if that bird starts fooling around and
spoils our plans he's going to get what tried
to give him once before, but couldn't"
Yeah" agreed Keith. "and this time I won't
wait until he has finished with you before hop
on him. There's no sense in being too fair with
fellow like him, especially when he's bigger
than we are"

house and before they left late in the after

the little room and gazed rapturously at the
result of their handiwork, agreeing that it was

GUS poisoning from the use Of these
drugs is often SO insidious that the
danger is not recognized by the user"
Some Labels Not Complete.
Several manufacturers who use
these drugs in their medicines declare
their presence on the labels, but others
do not, Campbell said. They are not
compelled to do so because these
drugs were not included in the original
food and drugs act, which requires
that the presence Of several narcotic
drugs must be stated on medicine
labels.
Under present conditions the buyer
of remedies has no protection except
himself, says Campbell. He advises
that buyers should always observe two
precautions. One is to read the label
and see If it lists either Of these two
drugs. If they are not listed and
there is any doubt as to whether they
may exist in the medicine, the buyer
should ask the druggist or write to
the Food and Drug Administration
and ask for the facts regarding the
remedy in question.

HEARING REQUESTED
ON BUS LINE GARAGE
Roberts Acts Upon Receipt Of
Protests of Citizens Near
Proposed Site.

Prompted by receipt Of several COM
munications from citizens expressing
fear they might be disturbed by busses
travelling to and from the proposed
service garage of the Greyhound Lines,
William A. Roberts, peoples counsel,
wrote the Public Utilities Commission
yesterday asking to be heard on the
question of location of the terminal
before a permit is issued.
He said he understood 1t was in
tended to build the garage at Thir-
teenth srteet and New York avenue
northeast. This location has been
mentioned in the newspapers and the
communications received have ac-
cepted this as the probable site.
Roberts explained that the terminal
should be situated at point where it
would be feasible for busses to travel
routes along which they would give
the least possible annoyance to resi-
dents. The passenger terminal Of the
Greyhound Lines is on New York
avenue near Fourteenth street in the
Northwest section and busses would
have to follow the general line Of
New York avenue travelling from that
point to the garage. he pointed out.
He refrained from expressing any
opinion as to the desirability OF the
suggested location of the garage.

Liver and Blood Injured by

BY the Associated Press.
Two drugs dangerous to health and
life are being so widely distributed
to the public in some pain-killing
medicines that the Federal Food and
Drug Administration has issued a
warning against them
The drugs are cinchophen, which
destroys the liver, and amidopyrine,
which kills the white corpuscles of
the blood. There Is no law by which
the public can be protected against
them, because when the food and
drug act was passed many years ago
cinchophen was unknown and the dan
gerous effects of amidopyrine had
not been recognized.
Used In Many Forms.
Cinchophen, chemical anodyne
and sedative, Is sometimes used by
sufferers from neuralgia, rheumatic
pain, neuritis and similar troubles.
Amidopyrine is frequently used in
headache remedies and other pain
killers, according to the Food and
Drug Administration. 1t was empha-
sized, however, that not all headache
and rheumatic remedies contain these
dangerous drugs.

WILL Be STUDIED

ate, but Sees bad Lot
of Bills"
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Departments measures
for speedy mobilization in time of
war were characterized yesterday by
Chairman Nye Of the Senate NUM-
tions Committee as "a bad lot of
bills" but he promised a close
scrutiny, remedial action and enact
ment after consideration.
Army strategists drew up the
measures for submission to Congress
Immediately upon declaration of war
They would mobilize the Nations in
dustries, a draft. and virtually place
dictatorial powers in the President
They would involve the drafting of
labor and a press censorship through
q licensing system, charges Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri.
Procedure Outlined.
Under the procedure the committee
has sketched, Senator Clark will in
troduce the measures as they now are
and then will ask that they be re-
ferred to the Nye committee, on
which he serves as a member. Com
mittee hearings would follow and
then the committee would revise and
report the bills to the Senate for ac-
ton. After formal declaration of
war the legislation would go into
effect
We'll put them through the laun-
dry" Nye said, ''and get them out now,
while there is time to give them intel
ligent consideration. We won't wait
for a war, when they would be shot
through without heed and thought
under the influence of war hysteria."
In addition, the committee hopes to
have referred to it whatever legisla-
ton the Presidential Committee head
ed by Bernard Baruch produces for
the purpose of taking the profit out
of war" If this should happen it
would have the power to approve or
disapprove the work of this group.
An informed source, who declined
to be quoted by name, said yesterday
that President Roosevelt and Nye
would meet soon to discuss proposed
legislation to curb war profiteering.
At the time Mr.. Roosevelt announced
he was setting up the Baruch Com
mittee, Nye said he felt it was for the
purpose OF mating his group inquiry.
Cooperation Expected.
The White House, however, said the
Baruch committee expected to Coop
crate with the Senate investigators.
Nye expects to ask for more money
to continue the arms inquiry as soon
as Congress convenes and expects the
Senate to make the money available
almost Immediately.
One of the subjects scheduled for
study, once funds are forthcoming, is
the activities of ship and steel makers
and whether there is connection be-
tween bankers and arms makers.
The last factor might involve an
other Senate peek into the affairs OF
j. P Morgan & Co. That institution,
whose head appeared in the investiga-
,tion of Wall Street, served as purchas-
ing agent for the allied nations before
America entered the war and nego-
tiated contracts running far into the
millions.
