 UphOlds Plans

Cranston, R. l., June 30 - (U.P) An inquest opened today in the $250,0 fire which swept "fireproofs Roger Williams Manor Sunday, tak- ing three lives and injuring some 25 other persons.
 State Fire Marshal John Baird last night issued a radio appeal to all survivors to contact investigators at police headquarters. Concurrent Investigations are being conducted by police and fire officials.
 Investigation yesterday revealed that flames virtually destroyed four wooden staircases, leaving only the buildings fifth staircase-steel con- structed-intact.
 Though the building had no olt- side fire escapes. Harold w. Paine, architect who drafted the plans and specifications, contended that the five stairways were so arranged as to provide at least two exits for each apartment and were fireproof. He said the elevator shaft and stair cases were of brick and better than fire escapes"
 "The old buildings had outside fire escapes, but in this building the fire escapes were built inside, !" Haigis O. Najarian, original owner. said. He contended that fire doors should have kept flames from in vading the stair wells.
 Still in critical condition at a hos pital was Mrs. Margaret Pulsifer. 40. A fourth-fioor occupant, she suf- fered pelvis and spine fractures when she lost her grip on lifeline fashioned from bedsheets and plunged to the ground.

Church Held
Spearhead
Of Liberty
Clements Society,
DR.. Blackwelder
Points Out

The church must be the spear
point in the struggle for human free
dom, DR.. Oscar F. Blackwelder, pas
tor of the Church of the Reforma-
ton, declared yesterday in Christ
mas message to the Political Study
Club, meeting at the Washington
Club.
Freedom of speech, freedom of
press and freedom of worship mu-
tually defend each other, but free
dom of worship, ultimately safe
guards the other two, said the
speaker. Freedom of worship does
not mean freedom from worship, he
continued. And when freedom to
worship goes, he said, the final bull
wark of social liberty has departed.
Describing the church also as the
promoter of justice, ,.Dr. Blackwelder
said it follows that the church, when
true to her mission, holds the key
to the functioning of a democratic
society. $50 her third contribution
to America is to offer the cement to
hold society together and make pos
sible government by the people," he
asserted -
-sssDr. Blackwelder quoted from a
friend to suggest that the present
world situation is described by the
five-letter word, split" The world
Is split vertically into nations" he
said. Nations are split horizontally
into races; races are split obliquely
into classes; within classes homes
are split as the increasing divorce
rate indicates: within homes are
what the psychologists call split per-
sonalities.
"In other words" he continued,
1--WE have been leaving out a kind of
cement necessary to hold life to-
gether."
DR.. Blackwelder was presented by
Mrs. Lily R. Hunt, program chair
man, after the meeting had been
opened by the first vice president,
Mrs. Wintemute w. Sloane Mrs.
Edgar Boyd Kay, the president, is
recuperating from an illness.
The Christmas party which fol-
lowed was feature of the meet
ing. Club members had brought
gifts to be distributed later to needy
children of the city. A Christmas
tree, attractively decorated with
white bells, added to the festive air.
Christmas selections also were in
cluded on the music program, ar
ranged by Mrs. Thora Hinshaw
Seaton, who presented the Lotus
Quartet, directed by Otto Torney
Simon. The quartet included
Thomas Castaggini, Scott Pollack.
Gordon Page and George Stour-
braker.
Guests of honor, who were pre-
sented by Mrs. Garland Ferguson,
were Mrs. Lansdale G.. Sasscer, wife
OF Representative Sasscer of Mary
LAND; Mrs. Lloyd w. Biddle, Cen
eral Federation director; Mrs. Peter
A. Drury, Mrs. Henry Albers and
Mrs. Blackwelder.
The tea tables were decorated with
Christmas scenes by Mrs. William J..

Alternating at the tables were Mrs.
