WAREHOUSE in
BOSTON BURNED
100000 Pounds of Wool
Destroyed; Five Alarms
Were Sounded

Boston, March 6-(UP)-A six
story brick warehouse Of the Ma
tional Wool Marketing Corp, con-
tanning 10000 pounds Of govern
ment- bonded grade-A raw wool, was
swept by fire today In this world
wool center.
Fire Chief Samuel Pope esti-
mated the damage at $25O,0O0, but a
National Wool Marketing Corp. Of
fetal indicated that it might far
exceed that figure. The latter said
he could not fix the damage until
he had determined the exact type Of
the wool-virtually all destined for
defense orders-and how much
could be salvaged.
Five alarms-the maximum-were
sounded for the blaze in the south
Boston industrial section, and the
city's entire fire department re-
quired 80 minutes to subdue fast
spreading flames that threatened
nearby buildings and 0 busting
freightyard.
One fireman was burned on the
face and eyes when a steel door on
the first floor blew out as result Of
a hot-air explosion, and two other
Aremen were stunned by the blast.
Ladderhan James Mcmahon Of
Roslindale was hospitalized for
burns.
Flames broke through the roof at
one point.
The corporation has six other
wool warehouses scattered through
out the district.
Engineer Sounds Alarm
A New Haven Railroad Engineer,
David KATE, discovered the blaze
and sounded the railroad fire signal
one long blast and three short
ones-on his locomotive whistle in
a nearby freight yard. He had seen
smoke pouring from windows Of the
warehouse.
Besides Mcmahon, those hospital
lied were 1engineman Joseph Savage,
As, Of Dorchester, who sustained
back injuries when struck by five
pound sashweight that fell three
stories, and ladderman Francis Ken
nedy, ~, also Of Dorchester, who
suffered smoke inhalation and cuts
on the right hand.
So swiftly did flames spread that
Firt Chief Samuel Pope ordered the
third alarm sounded shortly after
t6e first and then elR90ss kEnInedi-
ately called for the fifth alarm.
The building, filled with bags Of
domestic wool, was aflame from top
to bottom, and giant spirals Of fire
issued from its two elevator shafts.
Fire authorities believed the blaze
smouldered several hours before
starting its rapid spread
Walter Morse, building superin-
tendent, estimated there were g.
100000 pounds Of raw wool in the
structure.
Firemen sought to prevent the
flames from spreading to the near
by Boston g. Albany Railroad
freight yards, a chemical company
building and a food warehouse.
Hundreds Of commuters from the
nearby south station were delayed
enroute to work, and traffic was tied
up.

6 typewriter
Distributors
Here Are Hit
Uncertain About Future
With WPB Freezing"
Order in Effect

Six LEGAL typewriter dis
tributing firms were uncer-
tain of the future today as
they complied with the order
Of the War Production Board
freezing all sales and deliv-
cries of new and used type
writer's last midnight. 1--WE
have been wondering about
the situation for the past
several months but we didn't
expect that the freezing
order would cover used as well as
new machines" said the manager
Of one firm.
Another dealer said 1t was too
early to state what definite affect
the order would have on present
employees of typewriter stores, but
added, Certainly If we can't sell or
rent typewriters there won't be any
need Of keeping our store open.
Wen have to maintain our service
department, but that can be done
from a smaller headquarters"
New typewriters have been hard
to get and sales have been governed
by the priorities board for the past
several weeks. Portable typewriters
have been scarce and most dealers
reported none available. At least one
local dealer has been buying up used
typeWriters In anticipation Of a COM
plete shut off Of the supply Of new
machines due to the conversion OF
typewriter factories to defense work.
''Now I have a number Of used
machines and can't move them"
he said today. "Of course I expect
that when the rationing program Is
set up that they will be disposed Of
but that will take time.
But what's the difference" he
added. "It's a question Of winning
the war right now-and If we don't
win, what good will the typewriter
business or any other business beS"
The general impression was that
statesmen would be the first to feel
the pinch Of the order and that
maintenance men would continue
to work provided spare parts are
made available.

Bridgeport Bureau of Vital
Statistics Subject DIN. Y.
Mirror Probe

Precautions taken at the
Waterbury city hall preclude
any such "birth certificate
mill" such as the New York
Daily Mirror today charged
is operating at Bridgeport,
City Health Officer DR.. Ed
ward ]. Godfrey said today.
Despite the fact that the
statutes allow authorities OF
any city or town to issue a
birth certificate on the affi-
davit of two persons, DR.. Godfrey
said that no certificates are issued
here until each case has been thor
oughly investigated.
In an apparent attempt to show
that the statutes are not strict
enough, a member of the staff Of
the Waterbury American today APP
piled at the city hall for the birth
certificate of another person. Dr..
Godfrey said that this is allowed by
law and that the certificate seeker
does not have to identify himself.
However, he said, prosecution might
be possible on the grounds of imper-
sonating another person. The news
paperman was identified as Lyall
Hill, assistant city editor of the
American.
The Daily Mirror article related
that reporter born in New Jersey
had secured a birth certificate stat
ing he was born in Bridgeport sim
ply by getting the signatures Of two
persons who said he was born there.
This procedure, DR.. Godfrey said, is
easily possible under the statute, but

Hartford, Conn, March Cup
State Health Commissioner STAN
ley H. Osborn charged today that
the Bridgeport vital statistics bu-
reau was SO rushed In issuing In
dustrial birth certificates that the
work is not being properly DONE"
DR.. Osborn commented on q story
in a New York newspaper that one
of its reporters obtained birth GER
tificate at Bridgeport by merely
having two witnesses attest to the
fact he was born in that city.
While the procedure is a legal one,
said DR.. Osborn, more care should
be taken in checking the validity Of
such claims.
Registrars" he said, "have been
warned about the Importance of is
surfing birth certificates to persons
who may not be who they claim to
be-"
Section CSC of the general statues,
he said, permits registrars to issue
certificates on the sworn statements
of two witnesses, and DR.. Osborn
asserted that at Bridgeport they
can do what they are doing, but
they need more help to do the Job
properly" Co.,.
He said he had complained to
Mayor Jasper McLevy that the city's
monthly reports of births, marriages
and deaths, were not being filed
with the state on time, and that
the matter had been referred to
Comptroller Perry Rodman for In
quiry. Records at the present time,
said the commissioner, were several
months late.

IN FILMING MOVIE

Hollywood, March 6.-(UP)-Babe
Ruth nursed serious cuts on his right
arm today from some realistic horse
play during the filming of a base
bali picture based on the life Of Lou
Gehrig.
Ruth, playing himself, was acting
in a scene Of the New York Yankees

winning the world series from the
st. Louis Cardinals. In the same
spirit Of playfulness he showed In
organized baseball, Ruth began
roughing it.
