Chemical fumes released when a
stubborn eight-hour fire ate into

Firemen dropped like flies as the
unidentified gases poured up from
the basement of the building. They
fell in the building and on the
street. Twenty-seven were sprawl

at one time as doctors and attend

Bowen. 1T had a sweetish smell
and when you licked your lips you
got a sweet taste. This was the
most difficult basement fire we
have ever battled in Atlanta"
The wind waited the smoke and
fumes to the street in heavy waves.
AS the fight went on in the early
morning hours Bowen ordered
evacuation of an adjacent three
st6ry hotel and the five-story
Atlanta Journal building housing
southern division headquarters of
the Associated Press. A two-block
area was roped off.
Bowen said firemen discovered
several gallon cans that had con-

State Anxious To Convert
Fl. Caswell Into Park;
Seeking Funds 4

Chances for the development OF
Fort Caswell in Brunswick county
into a state park has frightened
with the disclosure that the state
department Of Conservation and
Development has asked the Ad-
visory Budget commission to rec
ommend to the General Assembly
that money be appropriated for
that purpose.
Negotiations for the establish
ment of a park at Fort Caswell
have been underway for some time
and it the General Assembly is re.
ceptive to a recommendation that
funds be earmarked for park de-
.velopment, it is believed in local
circles that Fort Caswell will figure
prominently in any plans by the
State Park commission.
There are now an even dozen
state parks supported by the state
and Fort Caswell is believed to be
a very logical choice for another
one inasmuch as the conservation
department plans an additional
two to bring the total number to
IA.
The Navy department still has
men stationed at the site and ac-
cording to reports may be unwill-

made but the final decision is still

Should the Navy refuse to dig

DIES in VERMONT
Former Ambassador To
Berlin Ill Many Months;
Career Diplomat

NEW YORK, Dec. % - up -
Hugh Robert Wilson, 81, former
United States ambassador to Ger
many, died in Bennington, VT, Sat-
urday night after several months
illness, it was announced here Sun
day.
Announcement Of the death Of
the former diplomat was made by
Hugh Gibson, former ambassador
to Italy and friend of Wilson.
Wilson was appointed Ambassa-
dor to Germany in March, 1888, and
recalled in November of the same
year as a United States protest
against persecution of the Jews by
the Nazis.
Wilson, who made his home at
Washington, D. c., became i'll last
summer while at his Bennington
GUNNER home.
He is survived by his widow
Katharine, a son, Robert, a sister,
Mrs. Charles Little of Chicago, and
a brother, Morris K. Wilson, also Of
Chicago.
Funeral Tuesday
Gibson said the funeral would be
held in Evanston, ILL.,, Wilson'S
birthplace, next Tuesday.
Wilson made a career OF diplo-
macy. He started in 1911 as private
secretary to the American minister
at Lisbon and travelled over the
world for % years, retiring at the
end of 1910.
In that period he served in
Guatemala, Buenos Aires, three
times in Berlin, Vienna, Bern and
Tokyo, besides several tours OF
duty in Washington. His first for
eign assignment was that of am
bassador to Germany.
After his recall from Germany,
Wilson was appointed a special as
sistant to the secretary of state and
became one of Secretary Cordell
Hull's closest advisers on foreign
affairs. He made up his mind that
il Adolph Hitler began a war he
would tender his resignation as

cipitating World War II, he quit his
Berlin post, from which he had
