 Mrs. Bertha Brown, 54. Confined to bed with fractured hip, she was rescued by police. She required treatment for shock.
 Others in the hospital were Ralph w. Angel, AT, who suffered pos sible spine fracture when he tumb- led three stories after climbing to window ledge for several minutes: George Adams, who suffered an arm injury and shock, and Mrs. Lillian McDermott. 26, who fractured her pelvis and spine when she leaped from a fourth-hoor window. Cause of Fire Unknown Firemen and police had no ink ling today as to what started the blaze which spread so fiercely through the interior of the four story. u-shaped. brick structure. The fire was discovered by A. W. Keema, who telephoned the building super intendent at 5:45 a. m. (E. D. T) that smoke was filling his third floor room.
 Healey occupied the apartment im- mediately above Keema's and fire men believed the blaze may have started in Healey's apartment rather than in Keema's.
 In no time, the structure was filled with fast-spreading flames that cut of all five stairways, and with smoke which blocked through the corridors to further terrorize many of the 80 occupants trapped on upper floors.
 The first firemen to arrive found half-crazed tenants crouched on window lodges as though about tc jump. Bremen ordered them to stay there until ladders could be raised, and virtually all were rescued.
 Bremen Right In Time
 Authorities said that had firemen been a few minutes later in arriy- ing, the death toll probably would have reached staggering propor- tions.
 The investigations on which Gov ernor Vanderbilt awaited reports were being conducted by Police Chief James Miller and by State Fire Warden John Baird.
 Healy. one of the three victims, formerly was member of the vaudeville team of Gross and Healey which played the two-a-day circuits for 14 years. Since his retirement. Healey had operated restaurant in nearby Providence. His wife. tho former Beth ciift of Dallas. Tex. was away for the weekend.

Roosevelt Third
 Term Still Boorns
tContinued from Page l)

of the anti-rew deal Democrats who have rallied around him as the symbol of opposition to major Roosevelt policies. Secretary of State Cordell Hull is being discussed here as the most likely compromise can- didate, man who would have the confidence of traditional party men and yet be near enough to the Roosevelt administration to expect substantial new deal support.
 Postmaster General James A.. Farley is in the running if he misses first place on the ticket probably would be sought as vice-presiden- tial running mate by any Democrat nominated other than MT. Roose- welt.
 But neither Hull nor Farley would precisely fit the pattern of the man MT. Roosevelt would like to see in the White House because neither is a part of the new deal proper. Far ley has been the party organization man, far removed from vital spend- ing, labor and business policies, and Hull has been engrossed in foreign affairs and his reciprocal trade pol- icies.
 Roosevelt For 1940
 The process of elimination seems always to lead to Roosevelt For 194O" unless the president is willing to relinquish party control to more conservative men. It has been argued here that third term talk was anti-new deal strategy design ed merely to embarrass the pres ident. That charge was dropped when Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes and scattering of others raised the Roosevelt banner.
 The 100 per cent new dealers put forward in the past IS months ap- pear to have proved themselves more or less unavailable after brief trial runs, leaving Garner, Hull and Farley major contenders for the 1940 nomination.
 That goes for Secretary of Com merce Harry L. Hopkins. secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, Solicitor General Robert H. Jack son, Supreme Court Justice Will liam O. Douglas and Attorney Gen. eral Frank Murphy.
 Others String Along
 Neither Hopkins nor Wallace is accepted by organization party men as a genuine Democrat and it is reasonable to expect that Farleys close-knit machine could prevent the nomination of either, regardless of White House pressure in their be- half. Murphy would come to. the i 1940 convention with the handicap of having lost his last elective con- test for Governor of Michigan. Con- ventions do not normally select from among the losers.
 Jackson lost whatever chance he may have had for 1940 when he was passed over last year for the Dem- ocratic gubcrnatorial nomination in New York. Had he been nominated and elected governor of that state Jackson would have been a good bel for 1040.
 Douglas, like Wallace and Hop- kins. is party outlander so far as old line Democrats are concerned There would be stiff organization opposition to heaping further hon. ors on the baby member of the su. preme court.

new deal inner circle here and Paul V. McNutt, high commissioner to the Philippines, seems to have no chance whatever of obtaining sup port of either of the Roosevelt or Farley forces at next years Demo cratic national convention.
 In Honolulu en route to this country, McNutt indicated yesterday that he would not be a candidate should MT. Roosevelt run again. He said friends began his campaign for the nomination on the assumption that the president would not be a candidate.

If building activity is barometer
of business, as some economists
have indicated, then Imperial Val
ley, and particularly Ell Centro is
due for an era of prosperity, be-
cause the building industry has
come into its own once again dur
ing the past three weeks.
Building material houses and
contractors reported increased act
ivity Saturday and once again were
predicting new construction records
for 1889, despite the fact new
home construction mark was estab-
lished in Ell Centro.
Already, however, the 1889 build
ing mark has passed the record OF
last year on the same date, and it
is upon that fact that building
men and contractors are basing
their forecasts.

MAKE SURVEY OF
SAFETY PROGRAM
RELATIVE TO STATEWIDE
LAW FOR DRIVERS
LICENSES

TAMPA, May Is (FNS).-Ad-
vocates here of a Highway Safety
program and the adoption of a
statewide automobile drivers IL
cense law are highly, incensed
over efforts at y TfallsJhassee to
block such measures. They point
out that a number of cities, and
some small towns, in the state
already have local regulations re-
quiring automobile drivers to
purchase licenseS-each such 10
cal statute originally passed in
the guise of a safety measure
and yet those places are the ones
now fighting most bitterly against
a state wide law.
The conclusion, they say, is OBJ
vious-that all such local laws
are for the purpose of garnering
local revenue, and for the pur-
pose alone. They point out, with
logic, that only statewide law
for drivers licenses can work for
real and adequate safety on
Florida's highways. -
