TRAGIC DEATH

OVERTON, Texas, Mar. 25. WP)
Two safety measures were recon-
mended today by Sen. Joe Hill as
safeguards against future disasters
like the explosion last week at the
New London school-the use OF
malodorous gas in fuel lines and
regular inspection of public build
ings.
Sen. Hill is chairman of legiS-
lative committee that was sent to
investigate the situation at New
London.
He suggested that the legislature
adopt a building code to attain the
best results.
The malodorous gas, known as
skunk gas" in the oil fields, is
used commercially in some sections
so that leaks may be detected i'm
