Former Treasury EmpIoye
Takes Life With Gun

Albert Coomes, 78, killed himself
with a revolver last night at his
rooming. house, 1923 Tenth street
NV, according to Deputy Coroner
Christopher j. Murphy, who issued
a certificate of suicide.
Mr.. Coomes was found uncon-
scious by Joseph Heitz of the same
address. Police found a note in
which Mr. Coomes said he had been
in i'll health.
Mr.. Coomes, native of New
orleans. came to Washington about
1890. At one time he operated a
chain OF groceries here and in Ten
nessee. After selling out this busi-
ness he worked for time with a
construction company and then
was employed in the Treasury De-
partment, retiring in 1898 after IS
years of service.

trance was dark. . Nobody could
move forward.
people began screaming and
fighting to get out. Patricia (his
11-year-old daughter) screamed
Daddy, can't stand it any more
I'm dying I tried to shove to
make room for her, but couldn't
move an inch-we were packed so
tight.
Finally, I felt myself going. I
was gasping for breath. My arms
seemed to go dead. My little boy
slipped down along my body until
his feet touched the steps and he
was jammed between my legs. For
the whole half hour we were jammed
/ like that.
1T was horrible. Babies were
crushed and suffocated and died in
their fathers and mothers arms"
The ministry statement explained
the accident this way:
There were nearly 1000 in the
shelter, including several hundred
who arrived after the alert, when
a middle-aged woman, burdened
with a bundle and a baby, tripped
near the foot of a flight of 10 steps
! which leads down from the street.
This fight terminates on a land
ing. The woman fell down the last
two or three steps and lay on the
landing. Her fall tripped an ell
derly man behind her and he fell
similarly.
Their bodies again tripped up
those behind them and within a few
seconds large number of people
were lying on the lower steps and
the landing, completely blocking the
stairway.
Those coming in from the street
could not see exactly what had
taken place and continued to press
down the steps so that, within a
minute, there were hundreds of peo-
pie crushed together and lying on
top OF one another, covering the
landing and the lower steps,"
Soldiers, police, civilians and
members of the Womens Volunteer
Service removed the injured and
dead from the pit long after the
German raiders had departed.
Among the dead was Dick Cor
oett, former bantamweight boxing
champion OF England and the en-
plre. He won the British bantam
weight title December 81, 1881, when
ne outpointed Johnny King in a
l5-round bout. A year later he lost
1t to King, but won it again, to-
gether with the empire title, in 1884.
lhen he gave up the crown because
OF inability to make the weight and
fought as featherweight and light
weight.

Britain Assigns Police
To Raid Shelters After
178 Perish in Crush
Crowd Piles Up on Steps
When Woman Carrying
Buby Trips and Falls

LONDON, March 5.-Two con-
stables were assigned to the en-
frances of all deep subway shell
ters today and other precautions
were announced as officials in
vestigated the London shelter
disaster Wednesday night in
which 178 persons were suffo-
Gated or crushed to death and at
least so others injured during a
German air raid.
The Ministry of. Home Security
summoned all regional and local air
raid protection officials to a confer
ence and King George VI ordered a
separate inquiry into the tragedy
which developed when a middle aged
woman with a baby and a bundle
fell on the crowded flight of steps
and a pushing crowd piled up about
her.
The woman was rescued from the
pile, but her baby was suffocated.
Home Secretary Herbert Morri-
son said there will be no scapegoat
hunting, but if it should appear that
there was negligence in any official
quarter. such negligence will be held
accountable"
The installation of extra lights at
entrances and Immediately within
shelters has been ordered, and mid
die rails will be constructed to divide
stairways leading down into shelters.
60 Children Among Dead.
Many families were wiped out in
the disaster, and about so of the
dead were children. Some adults
died standing up from the extreme
pressure and remained in stand
ing position for 80 minutes.
G. H. Davis, one of the survivors
said: although I was at Dunkerque
I have never seen anything so ter
rible. AS I squeezed through the
door to the top of the stairs l saw
bodies piled two and three deep. A
man with small baby in his arms
was killed. His wife stood by power
less to help
Another witness, Thomas Wilson
said people seemed to be piled up
waist high on the stairs. We had
to stand on unconscious people to
get them out"
William Johnes, timekeeper, said
he was halfway down the steps with
his three children when Everybody
up front stopped" His son Peter, 7,
was crushed to death at his side
His daughters suffered minor in
juries
People kept moving forward be-
hind u.s." Mr.. Johnes said. Il didn t

baby in front of us, which I under

On Results of Tests

announced today issuance of COM
plant charging the manufacturers
of Old Gold cigarettes with "false
and deceptive" advertising based on
the results of laboratory tests pub
lished in Readers Digest magazine
last July.
The burden of the complaint as
summarized by the FTC was that
the makers, P. Lorillard Co., Inc,
Jersey City. N. j., advertised that
the tests showed Old Colds were
"easier on the throat" than any
other brand. but failed to say the
magazines Laboratory report said
the differences between brands were
so small that mo single brand Is so
superior to its competitors as to
justify its selection on the ground
that 1t is less harmful"
The commission said the average
nicotine content of the Old Gold
cigarettes tested was "only INT ,l87
of an ounce less than the average
In two other brands and 1/28,928 of
an ounce less than In the brand
having the highest average nicotine
content"
Slight Difference In Tars.
In addition, the FTC said. the
smoke Of the Old Colds tested had
only SO of one per cent less tars
than the smoke of the brand shown
to have the largest amount. None
Of these figures was revealed in
Old Gold advertising, the commits
sion said.
I'm truth and in fact" the COM
plant was quoted, there is no
practicable method whereby the
content of nicotine, tarry matter and
other harmful substances in the
general run of respondents cigar
cites as they reach the consumer or
in those of its competitors. or in the
smoke therefrom, can be ascertained
with any degree of accuracy for any
appreciable length of time
The commission alleged that rep
fesentations made by Lorillard in
periodicals and on the radio 'mislead
the public into enormously believing
that respondents cigarettes are less
injurious, when smoked, then are
other and competing brands of
cigarettes"
1t charged also paid testimonials
published by Lorillard in advertising
Old Colds did not reflect the actual
personal experiences or beliefs of the
signers.
In New York, the P. Lorillard Co.
issued a statement in which it
said in part:
So" = The complaint against the
P. Lorillard Co., issued March 2.
1943. insofar as it refers to Old
Gold cigarettes, concerns certain
statements about the brand dating
back as far as five years ago.
I'm regard to the allegations in
the complaint referring to the
Readers Digest tests, since this
was the only impartial test of which
we had any knowledge, Old Gold
did report factually the results of
the tests as published in the maga-
zine. -
Not only this, but we repeatedly
urged In our advertising that the
public read for themselves the en-
tire article as published by the
Readers Digest referring to the
magazine by name and giving the
actual page on which the article
appeared and the date of the issue"

Two Philharmonic
For New York Seen
Possibility by Fall
Union Musicians Vote
Contract Refusal if
ID Are Not Reinstuted

BS the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 5.-A Must
clans Union leader suggested today
the possibility that two orchestras,
each bearing the name New York
Philharmonic" might be playing
next fall.
Calman Fleisig, chairman of the
Orchestra Committee of the New
York Philharmonic Symphony, said
that members had voted unanimous
ly to refuse new summer and fall
contracts with the Symphony So
clety unless IA men, himself includ-
ed, were reinstated.
Eve reaffirm that We are the Phil
harmonic Symphony and not the
Board of Directors; that we, as a
body, can give concerts without the
Board of Directors, but that the
Board of Directors cannot give con-
certs without U.s." Mr.. Fleisig said.
The resolution not to resign with
the orchestra was voted last night by
more than 100 members of the or
chestra, he said, after Marshall Field,
chairman of the symphony board,
issued a statement backing up and
accepting responsibility for the de-
cision of the incoming conductor,
DR.. Arthur Rodzinski, not to renew
contracts for the ID members.
Describing the prospect of a Sec
ond orchestra as very likely" Mr..
Fleisig asserted that I'VE maintain
we have the legal right to the name
of The New York Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra"
Mr.. Field, in his statement, said
the board reviewed DR.. Rodzinski's s
recommendation for changes in the
orchestra personnel and accepted re-
sponsibility for the ultimate decision.
Members Of the orchestra commit
tee, which has filed charges with it's
union against the new conductor,
suggested that the Board of Direc-
tors had abdicated its duties and had
permitted DR.. Rodzinski to function
as a czar or dictator" Mr.. Field said.
