AS for warships, the NAVY
brought out that they were giv-
ing constant support to the land
troops, bombarding enemy posi-.
tons regularly. This gave the
ground forces a kind of heavy
artillery assistance which thew
would otherwise be unable to OBJ
tain.
Something of the hazards of the
initial operations was sketched by
Knox. He said Attu's harbors af-
ford anchorage only about IA feet
deep and that the difficulties of
landing would have been multi
piled many times had the enemy
been prepared beforehand to op-
pose them as soon as our vessels
drew within range. It was bad

because the character
istic fogs, winds, and swift ocean
currents made the operations
risky and uncertain of success.

City Mai! 10 Garry
Post Office Numbers
Walker Announces Plan
To Speed Deliveries

The public will soon be asked to
add the postal delivery district num-
ber to addresses in the 178 largest
cities in the United States, Postmas-
ter General Frank C. Walker an
nounced today.
Letters correctly addressed, when
the plan goes into effect, will carry
street numbers as usual, but will
also carry a number after the name
of the city, such as washington 8
D. c." or philadelphia S, Pa, ~
which will denote the delivery dis
trict.
Reason for the change is the short
age of trained postal clerks, who in
the past knew the delivery district
of every street and Office building
from memory.
PostmasterS in the 178 cities will
publicize the plan through all avail
able means to tell residents and
businessmen the number that indi-
Gates their delivery district.
Failure to place the number as
part of the address may result in
delayed delivery, the Postmaster
General warned. Large mailers,
such as magazine publishers, will be
asked to package their mail for
each city district. A similar system
is now used in Canada and in almost
all the larger cities of Europe
Names of local communities within
cities may still be used, but the
number of the postal district should
be added.

Mysterious Death
Atop Roof Probed
Mans Body Found in
Cooling System Fan
BY the Associated Press


PHOENIX, Ariz., May 5.-Author-
tiles attempted today to trace the
movements last Sunday of George
M. Poole, As, an iron worker, whose
body was found in the rotary fan of
cooling system atop a downtown
office building Monday.
Police Chief James T. Duane and
Deputy County Attorney J. v. Nc
Crory said their investigation had
failed to explain how Mr.. Poole
reached the building roof or in what
manner he met death.
1t was learned that he came here
March from Morenci, Ariz, and is
survived by Georgia Poole, Rock
ford, Ill, believed to be a daughter.
Investigators said Mr.. Poole left
the plant of the Aluminium Co. of
America, where he was employed,
about II am. Sunday, after engag-
ing in an angry discussion with two
other men over operation of a crane:
carrying with him a rigger's belt ana
spud wrench. The two men, and
another with whom Mr. Poole was
said to have had fight recently,
were to be questioned today
Mr.. Poole's mutilated body was
found hanging on the fan after the
building custodian reported the COOL
ing system was out of order. Doors
leading to the roof were locked. No
bloodstains were found on the roof
or in the cooler structure. A cor
oner's inquest left the mysterious
death unsolved.

Distil|ery By-Products
Wastage Is Charged
Nelson Is Asked to Fix
Responsibility for Losses
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Paul E. Hadlick, counsel for a
Senate agriculture subcommittee
disclosed today that Chairman Don
aid M. Nelson of the War Produc-
ton Board has been asked to fix re-
sponsibility for the reported waste
of distillery by-products from which
protein feeds could be salvaged.
Mr.. Hadlick's disclosure accom-
panied testimony by william A. Nc
Arthur, director of the Commodity
Credit Corps grain division, that
failure to obtain equipment for utili-
zation of grain wastage at alcohol
distilleries prevented salvage of q
substantial part of 100000 tons of
wheat and corn going to distilleries
each month.
Mr.. Hadlick said he understood
that roughly one-third" of the
wastage could be utilized, but Mr.
Macarthur called that figure too
high.
IF we recovered even per cent"
Senator Aiken, Republican, of Ver-
mont remarked, "it would amount to
Is carloads of protein feed a month" ;"
Mr.. Macarthur testified that the
WPB didn't "see fit" to grant prior
tiles on all requirements for salvag-
ing equipment for the distilleries
now making industrial alcohol for
synthetic rubber and other war uses.
Mr.. Hadlick said he had raised
the question" with the WPB chem
icals branch and was told that the
Agriculture Department had au-
thority as claimant agent to seek
necessary critical materials.

New Fire Safety Rules,
For Duration Only,
To Be Considered
Public Hearing Planned
By Commissioners
At 10 AM. May II

Proposed new flre-safety regula-
tions, to be operative only during
the war period, under which board
ing, rooming and lodging houses of
three stories or less would be ex-
empted from requirements for fire
protective appliances" are to be con-
sidered by the Commissioners at a
public hearing at 10 am. May II.
Also under the proposed tempo
rary, wartime regulations, owners of
three-story apartment houses would
be permitted to install wooden fire
escapes instead of the metal fire
ones now required by the code.
After meeting today with the
Board of Commissioners. Col. Joseph
D. Arthur, jr., the Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner, announced that
the hearing, to be held in the board
room of the District Building, would
be for consideration of "the general
subject of housing in the District
as we'll as the temporary regulations
under the new Fire Escape Act of
December "a, dealing with the
means of egress from lodging places
and other places of public assem-
bly,. It also will deal with the pro-
posed permanent regulations under
the same new act.
Rules Are Milder.
The proposed stop gap" regula-
tions which are being offered for
Yoy1hlio copcj1oro &io,, ryora oo~.;l
cred by District Building observers
as considerably milder than the
rules under which the Commission
ers several weeks ago denied the
application for licenses of the op-
orators of 1,780 boarding, rooming
and lodging houses, later threaten
ing to prosecute them for operating
without licenses if they continued
to do business.
The Commissioners Cancelled their
prosecution move, temporarily at
least, after the War Production
Board notified them it would be un-
able to give priorities for fire ex-
tinguishers, fire gongs, or for more
than a limited number of fire
escapes.
The proposed new rules would pro-
vide that during the period of this
emergency and not to exceed six
months thereafter" the District
Building code would be modified, as
to existing buildings only, to pro-
vide that if a building is not in ex-
cess of three stories, nor over 30
feet high, and used as a lodging,
rooming or boarding house." exist
ing exits shall be considered as suf-
ficient and suitable means of egress,
and no fire protective appliances
will be required"
The proposal adds that if such
building is four stories high, present
code requirements will be applicable,
except that if the operator gives an
affidavit that the fourth story is
not used for sleeping purposes, the
building will be considered three
story building.
Wooden Escapes Permitted.
Wooden fire escapes would be per-
mitted only in the case of apartment
buildings of three stories or less in
height, of design to be approved
by the District inspector of build
ings. An apartment, in this in
stance, is defined as being separate
household unit with bath and kitch-
en- used exclusively by the persons
occupying the housing unit.
Col. Arthur explained that other
changes to be considered at the
hearing would set up new measures
to prevent overcrowding. The pres

"dry" crusader, convicted last week
of Illegally wearing an United States
Army captains uniform, today in
Municipal Court was sentenced to
serve 80 days in Jail and pay $3.50

motion for a new trial.

ent code prescribes that fire escapes
and other protective appliances
must be installed in a three story
building with more than nine per-
sons housed above the first floor.
In place of this, the proposed rule
is that occupancy be definitely lin
tied by rigid application of regula-
tions to prevent overcrowding and
insanitary conditions. Specifically,
it is proposed, he said, that not more
than one person per so square feet
of floor space be permitted in any
room used for sleeping purposes;
that adequate window space will be
required, and that not more than
10 people per bathroom will be per-
mitted in boarding, rooming and
lodging houses.
