Fire Captain 10 Face
Trial in Explosion
That Injured -Four
Commissioner Action
Is Based on Report,
From Chief Murphy

The Commissioners today or
dered that Fire Capt. William V.
James of No. 18 Engine Com
pany face trial before the Fire
Department Trial Board as the
result of an explosion at the
engine house last Thursday in
iuring four firemen.
No date was set for the trial, but
it was said it would be held within
a week.
The Commissioners order was
based on the report of special
board of inquiry approved and for:
warded to them for action by Fire
Chief Clement Murphy. The Com
missioners did not make public the
text of the report.
Promised Support.
Immediately after the announce
ment of the boards recommended
ton, Capt. James was promised the
support of the firemens organiza-
ton, headed by Capt. Joseph w.
Conroy. who already has criticized
Chief Murphy for his action in
suspending Capt. James.
"Capt. James will have the un-
qualified backing of Local SO of the
International Association Of Fire
fighters" Capt. Conroy said, and
indicated that as soon as the associa-
tion's lawyer was consulted further
statement on its stand would be
forthcoming.
Capt. James has been under sus-
pension since Friday morning while
the inquiry board, composed of Fire
Marshal r. c.. Roberts, Deputy Fire
Chief j. A. Mayhem, and Battalion
Chief p. A. Davis, investigated the
explosion.
James is Criticized.
In suspending Capt. James, Chief
Murphy said he had unnecessarily
jeopardized the lives of the men
under his command"
The explosion took place while the
four men were using a mixture of
gasoline and oil to clean a boiler in
the f1rehouse at Eighth and D
streets Sc. Gasoline fumes from
the cleaning operation were ignited
by a small water heater in the
room.
Use of crankcase oil only had
been authorized for the cleaning
operation by the boiler inspector
who ordered the cleaning done.
The Commissioners today also ap-
proved two recommendations of the
inquiry board for changes in the
wording of the departments order
book as follows:
Cd Gasoline shall not be used
for any purpose other than as fuel
for gasoline motors.
CD 1.-THE practice Of requiring
personnel of the Fire Department
to do any maintenance work that
requires the services of an expe-
rienced person be discontinued and
that the type of work be performed
by another division familiar with
the proper maintenance of the prof.
ect in question"

Speedy Senate Action
On House Approved
Retirement Bill SouqhI
Sponsors Are Confident
Measure Will Pass
II Vote Can Be Reached
By Joseph Young

Sponsors of the Langer-Cha-
vez-Stevenson bill sought Senate
action today on their measure
to liberalize the entire civil serv-
ice retirement system following
its speedy approval by. the House
yesterday afternoon.
With only four more days remain
ing before the scheduled adjourn
ment, Chairman Langer of the
Senate Civil Service Committee will
make an effort to bring the bill up
today. The committee already has
reported the bill favorably.
There is likely to be oppposi-
ton to the measure, led by Sen
ator Williams, Republican, of Della
ware, a member of Senator Langer's
committee. The bills supporters,
however. feel they have enough votes
to push the bill through the Senate,
if they can only get it up for consid-
Grafton.
Time Is Biggest Hurdle.
The biggest hurdle the bill must
clear, however, is the time element
involved. With the Senate facing
log-jam of last-minute business, the
retirement bill is in danger of being
lost in the rush.
Senator LANCER hopes the bill
will fare as well as it did in the
House, where it was passed by a
unanimous voice vote amid praise
from members on both sides of the
aisle.
Member after member took the
floor to congratulate the bills CO.
sponsor, Representative Stevenson,
Republican, Of Wisconsin, and
Chairman Rees of the House Civil
Service Committee, for their work in
pushing the bill toward enactment.
Mr.. Stevenson told his colleagues
the measure was one of the most
and worthwhile bills"
to come before this session OF Con-
greSs.
Differences in Bills.
As passed by the House the meas
ure differs in number of respects
from the bill reported by the Senate
committee.
Both bills grant annuity increases

By the Associated Press

With the Senate stalled on
demands for a congressional
investigation into Attorney Gen.

poets mounted today that Re
publican leaders might turn to
the House for help.
Senator KEN, Republican, OF Mis-

But with time running out on the
Saturday adjournment goal. Demo-
cratic Senators showed no inclina-
ton to let the matter come to an
early vote.

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said the KEN resolution would be
put aside for the day so the Senate
could act on President Truman's
plan for reorganization Of Govern

agencies. 800,
But Senator Taft emphasized that
Republicans will continue to seek
Senate approval for an investigation
Meanwhile, highly placed House
Republican who asked that his
name not be used said a number OF
Representatives have been pressing
for an inquiry by their chamber.
He said the matter might be
brought before the House Admin

KEN Has Not Sought Help.
Senator KEN said, however, that
he has not yet asked Missouri Rep
resentatives to seek action at the
other end of the Capitol.
They have asked me to let them
know when I think it is hopeless in
the Senate" Senator KEN said,
refusing to predict whether or how
soon that might come.
Voicing belief that the issue could
be settled by continuous sessions OF
the Senate, the Missourian declared,
"I think it could be disposed of in
half an hour if everybody under
stood" that there would be no recess
until a vote was reached.
The Republican leadership aban-
doned it's announced intention for
such session last night.
Democrat Debate Feared.
After a two-hour Policy Committee
meeting, Senator Taft said the
plan was called off because Demo-

organization plan.
Senator Taft and Senators Fer
