Late Member of Bureau of Fire Alarms lndslibly Impressed His Associates by His Sincerity, Courtsousness-Ssrved Department
 and City Most Faithfully.

We mourn tha death Of our tricnds confident and fellow worker, Donas nlron, He was of the rank and tile. lust like al of us here. All ot us iiked and admired him. He was q cumrade worth having. Ills mind was clear. and gusL He never p.o- famed or uttered loose or uncouth words. He understood thoroughly hts position ln the Fire Department and applied himself accordingly. In plain words he never attempted to usurp the powers Of his superior or crlti- clze, any action on the part Of the officers, Q rather unusual and out- standing trait of present day ioeass throughout the world.
 But Dunat Is dead, just as all oe us win be some day, too. some be- fore others, of course. And yet there Is something to think about in tlse words of that old and familiar legend. The young Of to-day arc the old of tomorrow"
 There was always a feeling of good win for Donat Biron on the part Of the department personnel Words of this kind are wonderful when the expression is sincere. And it was this sincerity which endeared it. self into the every move of the de- parted Fireman. on the part of the ones he mingled with daily.

until the balloting gets underway, tonight.
 Supporters of ByInes who has re. ceived the endorsement Of the ma jority of delegates from the Sand district and considerable of the 3ist district contend that their candi- date will poll the 50 votes tonight required to give him the nomination.

Consider able attention has been given to planted and false rumors" con- corning the activities Of the candi- dates by various sources, which have been proven as "unfounded and false" It is the exaggerated treat ment given to these stories which has resulted in the appearance Of any confusion.

By A CErY FIREMAN

The Fire Department lost anothea of ils members last week when Doe nat ". Blron of the Bureau Of Flrg Alarm died. He lived at s0s Willow street.
 Donat had been with the Depart. ment for a period of % years or so, and during that time had been idcn- tifled with various engine companies eventually being assigned to Fire Headuarters as Q dispatcher and telephone operator. Tn this capacity
 he was brought in close contact with the public. for it was his voice sn many instances, which was heard in response to the numerous emergency and fire calls received during the day and night. There was never a time even in the most exciting home nets. that he became unn ssv. cd or lost his composure, a charac- teristlc, we would say, that also ap. plies to the other operators Of Headquarters. These firemen have many trying instances, and yet each and all of them, function .n a man. ner that thus fer has resulted in complete success for the department and it's work. But there was some- thing in the voice of Donat that plainly indicated the calnEess ot the man. He was slow to send out an alarm unless positively sure of the address. and this. too. when the person on the other end of the wire was generally in a state 9f confu- sion, and unable Co properly convey the information necessary for proper direction. He was kind and thoughtful in what he had to say, and extremely patient. He neve- wished to offend. and yet he wanted the true preliminary details neces- sary at the outset.
 Tn every day life and contact with us. he was an interesting talker. and generally knew his subject thor oughly. In his young days. he travelled the country. and visited all the important centers of the various states. His acquaintanceship with some of the leading cities was outlined in such a manner as to supply details and information of deep interest to his listeners. The firemen attached to the various coln- panies of fire headquarters prob- ably new him better than some of the members Of the other coinpan- les But these men knew his voice, and knew him on account of 1t.
 Years ago, they used to say that firemen like the village undertaken, never die. But plenty Of flremen are dying now, and quite often we read of the death of the village under taker. We may escape death for awhile, but eventually the unseen hand reaches out and plucks us some times just as we are reaching for our ''night-rig" to answer an alarm. Even the unknown grave digger who stands silently by as we are being lowered into the grave. must face death some one of these fine days. His work at our grave be- gins when the firemen and others In attendance at the funeral leave the cemetery. All of this, of course, is just a reminder, that none of us can escape.
 Donat Birons death brought this out. We saw the grave digger wait ing to "cloSe-in" where the under taker left off.
 After all life and death are just as strange today as the poets of old outlined in the.T beautiful poems on each subject.

 Unlawful Acts
 The unlawful acts are being committed now and the bills for these acts are being footed by the peopee of the country who pay the salaries of the men and women who are defying the law" Dies said.
 He asked Riddle to:
 1. Prosecute ''at least a dozen former government officials who have resigned to join the PAC. for violation of the Hatch Act by par- ticipAting in political campaigns while on the government payroll. Two such cases. he alleged, were those of c. B. Baldwin. former farm security administrator. and c. A. Mcreak, former war production borad labor representative for Texas.
 2. Investigate both the PAC and the CLOS new national citizens political action committee for viola fions of the th-Connally Act in making contributions to political campaigns.
 .. Make full use of Dies com naittee evidence which shows that the PAC is ''in complete eollabora- ton With the Communists and it's allied organizations in this coun- try"
 Dies cited the CLOS new citizens political action committee and the CfO announcement that this group and tine PAC each would raise funds of e3OO0. 900 for political purposes This, Dies, said. would give the GIG and two subsidiary organizations twice the amount permitted by law to carry on a political cam paign." The Hatch Act borbids single organization raising more than e3.000.000 for political activi' ties.
