Bomb Raid Fire Fighter
Tested by Defense Heads

Federal, District and civilian de-
tense officials were given a demon
stration beside the Tidal Basin in
Potomac Park today of a type of
fire trailer that may be used in
Washington and other cities in case
Of danger from incendiiary bombs.
The demonstration was sponsored
by the Navy Department. Officials
explained it was arranged for the
benefit of municipalities and that
the Navy's only interest was with a
view toward recommendation of a
trailer as auxiliary fighting
equipment.
The Civilian Defense Office was
represented at the demonstration by
William T. French, liaison officer.
He said his office planned no imme-
diate step. but is studying equipment
in case a recommendation is neces-
sary.
The trailer, similar to 10000 now
employed in London. is a compact
little unit on two wheels, movable
either by hand or attached to the
rear of an automobile. 1t was de-
signed primarily from the stand
point of conservation of steel and
other essential materials.
As used in London, the trailer is
attached to the rear of cab or
private automobile and is hauled to
the spot where an incendiary bomb
has been dropped.

slim man narned Clarence Palmer
Mr.. Palmer is hero.
He stands in the gallery, garbed
in the trim blue uniform of the
London auxiliary fire service, and
points out good points in the pictures
to visiting soldiers and tourists.
Pretty well covered by the uniform

Buried Under Building.
His face be ars no marks, because
he threw hist hands over it when
a flaming se,en-story warehous in
the city's East End toppled on him
last September. He was buried for
half an hour, and was the only one
of a dozen companions who re-
tanned consc lOusness during that
time. Two of, his fellow flrefghters
were not alive;twhen diggers reached
them.
Mr.. Palmer, as a young man, be-
came an interior decorator. The wal

Rehearing Is Sought
In Bullock Case on
Fermentation Ruling
Appellate Court Decision
In First-Deeree Sluying
Held Threat to Justice

The proper administration OF JUS
tice in Washington will be seriously
impaired unless the United States
Court of Appeals changes its posi-
ton in holding that some time must
elapse between the forming of an
intention 10 kill and the actual act
in a first-degree murder case, Gov
eminent counsel declared today.
The lawyers asked for a rehearing
of the courts decision before the
full bench of six judges in the case
of Willie Bullock, colored, convicted
by a District Court jury recently of
the frst-degree murder August a.
1882, of Policeman George w. Shi-
nault Bullock was fugitive from
Justice. officials said, until he was
brought back here for trial recently
The Court of Appeals on June 30
reversed the conviction and ordered
a new trial because Bullock. who
was having row with his wife and
bad pistol in his hand. whirled
suddenly and shot the policeman,
who had just arrived in a scout car
and, the court said. did not have
sufficient time for premeditation and
deliberation.
Three appellate court judges con-
sidered the case in the appellate
court.
United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran and Assistant United
States Attorney Dennis Mccarthy
declared the ruling violates time
honored principles of law and is
contrary to the spirit and purpose
of hundreds of years of common
law Jurisprudence for an appellate
court to substitute its opinion con-
corning factual question for that
of jury"
The Government counsel said "it
is not inconceivable that the Ian
guage of the courts opinion may
come back to haunt it in a case
where the circumstances particu-
larly vicious and malicious and
where the evidence may tend
strongly to indicate deliberation and
generalization, even though the kill
ing may have occurred only a sec
ond or two after the accused first
thought of doing it."

offices, where officials were repre-
sented as recognizing the urgency
of the need for defense roads" and
the seriousness of the traffic prob
