Daubs, Md. driver of Thompson's
Dairy, reported he saw lights, either

the building
The blaze had a head start when
flremen arrived about am. 1t was
brought under control about an
hour later The entire building was
damaged by smoke and water, and
flames had eaten into wooden
rafters beneath the slate roof.
Fire Chief Irving w. Johnson Of

said the blaze was believed to have
started in the first-floor storage
room, in which costumes and cafe
terra equipment are kept. The
building was locked and all windows
tightly closed when firemen arrived.
The fire fighters were forced to use
gas masks in entering the building.
The school, of yellow brick con-
struction, is two stories in height
and contains five claSSrooms cafe
terra. kitchen furnace room and
storage room.
Firemen said the loss would eX-
coed $4,000, but no official estimate
Of the damage was made pending
an investigation later today by
Prince Georges County School Supt.
Nicholas Orem.
The Takoma firemen were aided
by the Mount Rainier. Brentwood
and Hyattsville Fire Departments.
A preliminary examination OF
electrical wiring showed no apparent
defects. Chief Johnson said. The
furnace had not been fired since
last spring
Mrs. Frances Lindahl, principal,
said the school had been broken
into several times, the last such
event having occurred during the
summer. The forced entries, she

doors recently had been strength
ened with additional locks, Mrs
Lindahl said
Herald w. Hirst. Takoma fire
marshal and a former fire chief, in
report to the Takoma Park Town
Council last year, claimed there was
inadequate protection against fire
in the school Mr.. Hirst said there
was no telephone in the building
and that no one had been designated
to report fire if one broke out
In addition. he criticized the alarm
system. saying the same bell was
used for fire alarms as to signal
recesses for the children.

Italian Flags
ALMOST Greeted
| Duke of Windsor


BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.-Paul Zim-
norman, superintendent OF public
buildings, unsnarled a delicate dip
lomatic difficulty that threatened to
find the flags of England and Italy
at war-side by side today during an
official Baltimore City reception for
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Columbus Day was yesterday, and
in keeping with custom, city en-
ployes were given a holiday today.
Thus it was up to Mr.. Zimmerman
to fly the italian flag from the City
Hall portico as in other years.
But the British flag also was in
place, in honor of the Windsors.
Mr.. Zimmerman noted that
Italian-American societies observed
Columbus Day yesterday, so he
neatly ruled today just another
Monday, regardless of the holiday.
