Baptist Convention in 1887. Led by
DR.. Rufus w. Weaver, executive
secretary of the District Baptist
Convention at the time, the present
site was selected. The northeast cor

mission, and her husband, L. o. Fox,
was secretary treasurer. He is now
associate superintendent of the Sum-
day school and financial secretary
of the church. The mission was in
charge of the Rev. Charles j..
Sheets, who worked at the Govern
ment Printing Office.
Members of the mission visualiZed

ing out of the venture. They de-
cided the church would be organized
when so members were enrolled in
the mission. In anticipation of this
number being reached soon, the mis-
sion invited the Rev. Mike Elliott of
Chicago to come. Editor of the
United States Baptist, Mr. Elliott
came and served the mission and

time.

Gen. John H. Oehmann, director of
inspections for the District, yester-
day voiced concern over the short
age of inspectors.
The increase In building activity
was predicted in light of recent re-
taxation of controls by the War Pro-
duction Board. Gen Oehmann said
at present the District has only 10
building inspectors in the field, and
that the territory of one man eX-
tended from Fifteenth street NV.
to the Anacostia River, between S
street NV. and the Mall.
Gen. Oehmann said his inspectors
are swamped with work and that
increased building activity, with the
limited inspectors available, pre-
sented a problem of public safety
Another worry, he said, was that
some contractors scrimp on ma
terials or rush jobs through because
Of the premium on time. He urged
owners to take a larger share of
responsibility because it is impoS-
sible to have inspectors on the job
every minute.
The April value of construction
was almost double that of March.
Gen. Oehmann estimated he need
ed 20 additional inspectors and said
he expected to get four new ones
from the 1916 appropriation measure.

Blazing Munitions Ship
PeriIed Philadelphia Port
By the Associated Press,

6y inc ASSoclateC PresS.
PHILADELPHIA, June IA
blazing munitions ship endangered
the port of Philadelphia last sum-
mer, the Coast Guard revealed yes
terday.
For nearly an hour, an official re-
port said, Coast Guardsmen fought
flames that reached for the death
dealing cargo.
The report, withheld almost a
year for reasons of wartime Sc
curity, added:
Coast Guardsmen hurrying to
the blaze were knocked down and
trampled by stampeding longshore-
men fleeing the ship. One suffered
a brain conclusion. Nevertheless
they reached the hatch of the fam
ing hold and descended the ladder
Black clouds Of chemical smoke
were pouring forth.
"Choked and half blinded by the
heavy acrid fumes, the men groped
their way toward the source of the
blaze until they were able to use
their chemical extinguishers. They
put out the fire in As minutes
Some of the men collapsed, several
were severly burned"
The Coast Guard report said the
fire was the only incident in which
danger threatened in the loading of
more than a million tons of explo-
sives at Hog Island so far in the
war,

Fog-Dispe||ing Device
Aided Reich Raiders,
British Disclose
Ey the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1.-Ingenious OIL
burner devices, strung along the
runways OF air bases like lights,
generated enough heat to dispel
heavy fogs and permitted Allied
planes to maintain sustained bomb
ing of Germany regardless of
weather.
Until now the device was closely
guarded war secret. Its potentiah-
ties for peacetime flying safety al
ready are being put to USE
A description of the device was
relased by the Air Ministry and
the Petroleum Warfare Office in a
joint press conference yesterday
This all-British project was known
to the military as Operation Fido, "
short for fog investigation and dis
persal operation"
The device permitted a man sit
ting in control tower to press a
button and melt a o-visibility fog
so effectively that within six min
utes planes were able to land safely.
Even the stars became visible.
When all the planes wer landed,
the operator pressed the "off" but
ton and Immediately heavy fog be-
gan to settle over the field again.
The first operational use of Fido
was November 19, 1943, and since
that day more than $500 Allied air.
craft with crews of more than TO-
900 landed safely in conditions of
heavy fog.
Similar installations now are be-
ing set up at British civil airports
under construction near London.

National Hara-Kiri'
Faces Japan if War
Goes on, Barley Says
BY SPENCER DAVIS,

u.
SEVENTH FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Luzon, June Japan will
comit national hara- -kiri" if her
leaders continue the Pacific war,
Vice Admiral Daniel E. Barley,
commander of the 7th Amphibious
Forces and acting commander of
the 7th Fleet, declared today.
The veteran leader of 50 amphibi-
Gus operations in the Southwest
Pacific told the Associated Press in
an interview:
I'VE will land eventually with
our armies and force our will upon
them.
perhaps Japan's leaders will
take the easy way out and capitu-
late before total destruction of their
homeland.
If the enemy does not sue for
peace in the near future, the ruin
alton visited upon their cities and
industries will be far greater than
Germany suffered"
Admiral Barley pointed out that
soon Allied capacity for inficting
damage on Japan will be more than
doubled.
Besides the greater Central Pa
cific bases in the Marianas and
Okinawa, "Luzon is bound to play
a vital and essential part in the
invasion of either China or Japan,
whichever is undertaken first, or
both if need be-" he said.

Voting Machines
To Be Used by
Bar Association

For the first time in Its history the
District Bar Association will use
voting machines in electing its Off
GERS for the coming year June II,
Instructions have been sent to
members on how to operate the ma
chimes. To make absolutely certain
that the attorneys will know how to
manipulate the levers, an extra vot
ing machine has been set up in the
polling place on which the members
can practice before going in to vote.
Borrowed from Montgomery
County, the machines will be used
to speed up tallying of results.
Winners will be known Immediately
after the polls close at 6 pm.
This will be in sharp contrast to
other years when weary counters
stayed until the wee hours of the
morning tallying the votes.
The polls will open at noon in the
south room of the Bar Association
Library in District Court.
