the guard or person against whom
the offense was committed
Thus, if a prisoner should knock
guard down and attempt to kill him,
as some prisoners have done recently,
this particular guard could not be al
lowed to whip the prisoner, but some
other guard or the camp superinten-
dent could apply the lash, Dunlap
pointed out.
The posting of the notices inform
ing the prisoners that whipping of
prisoners is still permitted by law as
means of prison discipline was ap-
proved by Oscar Pitts, Acting Direc-
tor of the prison division, as a means
of improving prison morale. But
Pitts still believes that the whip
should be used only in very extreme
cases, and does not want to take over
the authority for administering whip
pings, insisting that order for whip
pings must come from the chairman
of the highway commission. Chair
man Dunlap indicated that hereafter
no whippings will be administered ex-
cept upon his written order.
And thereon hangs a tale In fact
the decision to issue this notice and
the announcement that no whippings
will be administered except on order
of the chairman of the commission
are regarded as due very largely to a
number of whippings reported to have
been given in various camps recent
ly without any special order from
the chairman. 1t is known that five
prisoners were whipped recently in
the Union county camp, while reports
indicate that between so and 60 pri-
soners have been whipped since the
new chairman and new highway COM
mission took office some 60 days ago.
While everyone Connected with the
highway commission and prison di-
visions are now processing complete
ignorance of more than the usual
number of whippings during the last
two months-and there is every rea-
son to believe that both Chairman
Dunlap and Director Pitts do not

Indications now are that the plan
of the old State Prison faction to
"crack down" with the whip and
prove that hard boiled" methods of
handling prisoners were better than
the Waynick-Pitts methods of hand
ling them without the lash, have kick
ed back in their faces and that in
stead Of discrediting Director Pitts,
they have discredited themselves. In
fact, the backfire seems to have been
so pronounced and loud that Chair

rather quick about-face.

feeling running high in Japan, the
British admiralty today was busily
engaged in speeding up plans for

FIRE THREAT
PERILS 8,775
U. 5. WORKERS
Council Reports on
Hazards Here
By EARL GobwN

Dangerous fire conditions stare
S,775 Government employees in the
face in their daily work, with fire
hazards even in some Of the newer
Government buildings. the first
annual report Of the Federal Fire
Council advised Congress today.
The Federal Fire Council was
created several months ago by the
President. who sent the report to
the Capitol, 1t is composed Of
various Government officials SUI
pervising buildings and records.
Lyman j. Briggs, director Of the
Bureau Of Standards, is chairman.
LARGELY CONIMENDATORY
The report, however, was largely
commendatory, indicating that
only q small percentage Of the
buildings are actually hazardous,
the figures showing that Of the
buildings the Government owns,
81 out of 749 have poor" exit
facilities, 4IS out Of TAO have
"fair'' facilities, and 40 have
''good" exits. OF II rented build
ings, exit facilities are "poor" in
five, ''fair" in 2S and good" in
the other 3S.
'sEighty-six per cent of the
floor area is in buildings Of fire
resistive construction" said the
report, "and about 13 per cent
Of the buildings with wood inte-
rior, or interior and exterior
framing. While the latter num-
ber over 400, they are in general
Of small size, only a few being
large enough to sustain fires
of serious extent"
HAZARDS ARE MINOR
At the same time, the report
stated that of 145, 900 Government
employees, only $4,000 are housed
in buildings with exit facilities
rated good" Nearly 10000 are
in buildings with unencloSed stair
ways, yet the council concludes
that hazards are Of minor variety.
Those marked "poor," the council
declared, should be improved i'm
mediately if present occupancies
are to be continued. The report
does not mention any building by
name.
The council warned that there
is danger from fire in some Of the
newer buildings because Of old
electrical . installations, oil-filled
transformers, large gas meters and
paper records in wood shelving.
It also suggests that the District
fire department consider using
carbon dioxide in initial fire-fight-
ing operations, especially in fire
resistiye buildings.

Full Indemnity for
GunbOat Tragedy
Is Demanded
By ROBERT G. NIXON

day addressed a sternly-worded
formal note Of protest to the JAP.

struction of the U. s. Gunboat
Panay and three other American
vessels by Japanese aircraft.
The note dem anded three
things:
/. A formal expression of re-

2. Complete and comprehen.
sive indemnities.
3. Guarantees that definite
and specific steps be taken by
Japan to assure protection
henceforth Of all American ma
tionals and interests in China.
HULL SEES PRESIDENT
The formal protest followed
President Roosevelt's memoran,
dunn Of yesterday, demanding the
same things, in which the Presi.
dent requested that Emperor Hiro-
hito himself be advised Of the
Presidents feelings of deep shock
over the attack.
There was nothing in the Presi.
dents statement requiring any
direct reply from the Emperor
himself. Mr.. Roosevelt simply re.
quested that the Emperor be "ad.
vised" Of his feeling in the matter.
Secretary of State Hull con.
ferred with Mr.. Roosevelt for
nearly an hour today, and upon
leaving the White House said
there were no new developments
other than the note.
NOTE SENT TO ENVOY
The note was cabled to Tokyo
last night, with instructions to
Ambassador Joseph c. Grew that
it was to be presented immedi.
ately to the Japanese foreign
minister.
The note declared that the
American vessels were in the
Yangtze River "by uncontested
and incontestable right" that they
were flying the American flag and
at the time they were bombed
were conveying American officials
and refugees away from points Of
danger.
Hull reminded Japan that the
japanese authorities had been in
formed Of the location of these
ships and had violated repeated
assurances to the United States
Government that it's rights and
interests would be respected.
