When the management of Stone

there is a bit of music every eve

like to dance.
People are slowly but surely be-

FIRE AT HAvERHILL
LAID TO INCENDIARY
Leather Plant Building Destroyed
at $4,000 Loss and Three
Firemen Hurt.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAVERHILL, Mass, April 12.-Fire
believed by Chief Rufus A. Crittenden
to have been of incendiary origin, de-
stroyed the Lennox & Briggs Leather
Co. building and damaged other struc-
lures in Haverhill's leather district.
Crittenden estimated the loss at
$4,000.
Exploding barrels of lacquer,
crumbling walls and embers and
sparks that rode on a brisk wind for
q time threatened the entire district.
Local apparatus responding to gen.
eral alarm was unable to check the
flames, and aid had to be summoned
from 10 surrounding communities.
The comparatively small loss was
explained by the fact that the build
ings which previously housed valuable
shoe machinery had recently been
converted into storage places and con-
tanned only inexpensive chemicals.
Three firemen were injured, none
seriously.

Young Survivors
Still Numbed
by Shock.

WILLIAMSPORT, Md, April
12.-Grief struck into virtually
every home in this bereaved
community today with the re-
turn of the bodies Of IA high
school students who rode away
so gayly with their comrades
yesterday afternoon, singing as
their bus rolled along.
1t had been a fair afternoon
after inclement weather and the
students were in high spirits.
They sang and pranked while
the bus bore them to the Uni
versity of Maryland, where they
visited a chemistry exhibit.
Returning home last night, tired
after their outing and little sleepy,
the bus load of students had become
quiet. Some were doing when .
sudden crash occurred.
The shock was numbing In Its
power. Few outcries were made as the
students were strewn along the road
bed by the impact. Some Of the boys
began Immediately to extricate their
friends from the wreckage.
Shock Numbs Their Tongues.
Few of the survivors were willing to
describe the crash. Many Of the boys
and girls were still suffering from
nervous shock. A few boys hobbled
downtown on crutches this morning
and were quickly surrounded by fel-
low townsmen.
All school children were dismissed
for the day and business in the town
itself was at q virtual standstill. A
tolling of bells was heard as ambulance
after ambulance pulled into town,
freighted with the bodies Of the young
victims.
School children dismissed from their
classes this morning and townspeople
were gathered around the undertak-
ing establishment to which the bodies
were brought. Every one in the crowd
had . brother, a sister, or q friend
among the victims.
The town was thrown into the ut
most confusion last night with the ar
rival of first reports Of the disaster.
The news spread with incredible speed
and soon a large crowd Of distracted
parents waited for the arrival of the
first automobile coming from the
scene of the accident.
List Of Survivors Jumbled.
In some unexplained manner, the
list Of survivors became confused with
the names of the fatally injured. Par
ents, forewarned Of the deaths Of their
children, were thrown into hysteria
when the children they thought were
killed stepped from the first automo-
bile.
Another side of the picture was pre-
sented by parents who hurried to
Rockville, hoping their children had
been spared. One small group of white
faced men and women presented list
of four names to the desk sergeant at
Rockville.
These are our children, sergeant" /"
said the spokesman. Can you tell us
If they are all right?"

GreetS Peace Move at
One University.

Less than 500 Washington college
and high school students took part
today in the students strike against
war and Fascism. and approximately
half that number staged a somewhat
hilarious counter strike at one uni
versity.
At George Washington University,
where perhaps the largest demonstra-
ton was staged, Representative Nav
erick of Texas, scheduled to make the
principal address, acted on sug-
gestion from DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin,
president, and failed to show up.
Maverick said he withdrew when the
college head asserted the strikers
were violating discipline and cutting
classes.
Respect for Authority.
II respect DR.. Marvin's administra-
tive powers" the Texan said. Il am

wILLIAMsPoRT, Md, April 12-
The Board of Education here late to-
day suggested that the Williamsport
High School auditorium be used for a
group funeral service for the victims
of the bus accident at Rockville. Md.
Members of the board pointed out
that no church In the community
would be large enough for the serv-
ices. At late hour today the parents
of the IA boys and girls who met
death were comforting on the funeral
plans.
The local unit of emergency relief
has offered to provide grave diggers.
This offer, 1t was explained. was more
in the spirit Of courtesy than from
any lack Of funds on the part Of the
parents.
The IA students will be buried In
three or four cemeteries in this vicin-
ity. There was possibility that some
services would be held before Monday.

SECURITY 'LEM0N,'
SAYS TREADWAY
G. up. Spokesman Charges
Democratic Attempt to
DeIude Court.
Nv the Associates Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In an assault on the social secur-
ity bill . Republican spokesman to-
day accused Democrats Of attempting
to "delude" the Supreme Court and
told the House that vote for the
measure would be Q vote to prolong
the depression indefinitely"
The @. o. p. spokesman was Rep
resentative Treadway Of Massachu-
sets, first Republican to debate the
security bill in the House. AS he
talked the so-called liberal" bloc was
summoned to q meeting late today
to determine Its attitude toward the
measure.
Bill Called "Lemon."
Treadway called the administra-
tion's bill q lemon" and said the COM
mittee report presented by the Demo-
Gratis failed to show any connection
between the old-age annuity taxes and
old-age annuity benefits because the
Democrats know that the Supreme
Court Is eventually going to look at
that report to see what the intention
of Congress was in setting up these
titles"
They purposely omitted any ref
erence to the connection between the
two because they wanted to try to de-
lude the Supreme Court" he continued.
Personally, I think this attempt to
delude the Supreme Court Is rather
childish"
Treadway and other Representatives
including q number Of Democrats
hope that, when the amendment stage
is reached next week, it will be possible
to strike from the bill the section levy
ing taxes on employers and employees
for old-age annuities.
Minority Report View.
In their minority report on the bill
the seven Republican members Of the
Ways and Means Committee said:
"On account of the deplorable con-
dition in which the employer finds
his business at this time: the tragic
condition in which the employe finds
himself due to the ever-mounting cost
of the necessaries of life and the
failure of wages to keep pace with
these costs; and the fact that the
number Of unemployed is constantly
increasing. there is doubt in our minds
that the legislation will result
in a general national benefit at this
time
Meanwhile an avenue appeared
open through which advocates Of the
Townsend old age pension and Lun-
deem social security plans could get
vote on at least the essence of their
proposals. They contended that un-
der House rules their complete bills
could not be offered as amendments
to the administrators bill.
But today they found that they
could, for example, propose to in
crease from SIS to 500 q month the
maximum Federal contribution to-
ward pension paid under State
law. They could even offer an amend
ment to make the Federal Govern
ment bear the full burden OF . PEN
sion Of 5000 q month. .
