Cocoanut Grove Tragedy
Haunts Fire Officials
Waterbury Authorities Ever Mindful Of HolO-
caust Which Took 49l overwhelmingly
Conviction Viewed rs Warning to
Management Of Public Places
--NEA photo

/ the lid who think they are living
In a paradise that will go on for
ever,
Barnett Welansky wasn't think
Ing OF a fire. He was thinking only
In gross, wanton disregard Of the
people he was inviting there, He
ignored the law. That's the crime
here-the accumulation OF total dis
regard for everything except to
make money.
Aroused At Last
"The society which permitted the
conditions which Welansky took ad-
vantage Of at last Is aroused and
determined TO prevent a second Co.
coanut Grove disaster from hap
pening,
"Tf Welansky were sentenced In
dtvidually for every one OF the S9l
deaths, IL wouldn't restore any brok-
en- hearts. We have not to show this
kind that they are not to be per-
ynitted to take chances with human
life on the home front, while men
are dying far away.
THE agoniZed communication
from bereaved families trouble me-
MT. Bushnell continued. There
were IS young men serving In the
Army and Navy-willing TO die for
their country - burned up IN this
trap that was permitted to exist for
O whole year In time Of war. II
this calamity serves TO make It I'M
possible for such O thing to happen
again, perhaps the families OF the
deceased may get some comfort.
WIeanSky big Shot"
THE defendant was a big shot.
He was kowtowed to and catered to
by the bankers and the newspapers.
A little business man would have
to file gilt-edged security for q
small loan TO meet a payroll, but
Mr.. Welansky could walk into o
bank and get money without any
difficulty. Yes, he was a big shot
everybody built him up the
Boston newspaper built him up.
Among the records found at the
Grove was a diary covering tele-
phone calls made In 1912. The name
Of a Boston newspaper editor In
who're publication appeared an edi-
torial on the case In March appears
In this diary as having constantly
communicated with Wclansly. CThis
editorial, read by Bushnell, urged
gpeed in prosecution OF the Grove
case, This editor was aware that
the case was IN progress. This sort
Of thing sells newspapers"
Wen bet the fire marshal Of Wa
terbury, Den. Lahey and his stan,
have been worried and still worry
much over the Bos.on tragedy. I'm
der the State Law, they are the
ones, and only ones who have au-
thority over playhouScs, churches,
public halls and other places Of
assembly. II these places become
crowded, they are responSibles, and
this also goes for those In charge
Of the building as the WelanSay
conviction demonstrated.
We hope nothing like what &C.
Cured In Boston ever happens here;
often we not the fire Marshal at
the theater and other members OF
his stan out nightly looking over
places.
We have ncticed a worried look
on their faces, and they have cause
TO be uneasy even In church when
they look around and see every seat
filed, and some standing in and
about the rear.
