The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-14
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Sept. 49, ~
A year after 100 Americans met
violent death in two great hotel
conflagrations at Chicago and
Atlanta, fire losses are higher
but deaths from fires are de-
clining.
This is the conclusion drawn
from scores of state and NUM-
cipal reports of action taken
since the nation was dealt a one
two punch by 81 deaths in the
Hotel Lasalle fire, June 5, 1916,
and 119 deaths in the Winecoff
Hotel tragedy at Atlanta, Dec.
7. In all, a total of 200 people
died in hotel fires in 1916.
"More progress has been
made this year than in any ten
previous years, but the job is tc
keep interest high until the re-
forms can be nailed down by
legislative action in most of the
states" A. Bruce Bielaski, as
sistant general manager Of the
national bureau of fire under
writer's, said today.
Since President Humans con-
ference on fire prevention last
May, almost every state in the
union has taken concrete action.
Bielaski said.
The Georgia legislature this
year created a building safety
council to set up standards con.
sistent with the building exit
code of the American Standards
association. The council was au

thorized to issue certificates of
occupancy which must be dis
played prominently. While the
standards have not yet been
adopted, builders have been mott
fled that new structures will be
approved if they meet Ameri-
can Standards association tests.
Serving on the Georgia safety
council are an architect, con-
tractor, electrician, plumber, a
city building inspector and the
state insurance commissioner.
A spot check of state activities
show the interest Bielash holds
important is being maintained:
Just this last week Minnesota
and Ohio were holding fire pre-
vention conferences, and New
Hampshire will tackle the prob
lem in a statewide conference
Oct. IA.
Illinois has called a conference
for Oct. Is, and the governor
has mailed 5000 invitations to
hotelmen, insurance experts, and
municipal chiefs.
Insurance agents recently
made a state wide inspection OF
hotels in Arkansas, and reported
that in one hotel fire, IS lives
were saved due to prompt com
pliance by guests with safety
rules invoked after the Chicago
and Atlanta disasters.
A similar case was reported
in Terre Haute, Ind, when quick
action by hotel personnel anc
GOODNESS OF guests prevented loss
of life and enabled fire workers
to save the 81, 900, 900 Terre
Haute house after damage of on
ly 81, 500.
The American Hotel associa.
ton reported that many hotels
in all sections Of the country are
insulating themselves against
fire with an application of 4
! chemical known as Alibi : r.
which may be applied under the
paint or on top of it. The asso-
citation said the chemical was
SO fire-resistant that it would
withstand the heat of an acety.
lene torch.
The association also is ready
ing a new pamphlet on "f]ame
probing for hotels and multi
pie dwellings. It said that hotels
everywhere were installing i'm.
proved sprinkler systems and
enclosing stairwalls and elevator
shafts.

time in the states history. will.

shal's office, effective Nov. l.
The new regulations will affect
800 hotels and were issued as q
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-14

result of legislation passed by
the 1947 general assembly.
These provisions include en-
closed interior stairways, en-
closure of elevator shafts with
fire-resistant material, linking of
hotel alarm systems with city
fire alarm systems, and flame
proofing of all bunting and
streamers.
Tennessee enacted a number
of laws giving the state fire mar
shall authority TO adopt any fire
prevention code necessary, and
the marshal filed 5000 pages of
codes and documents with the
secretary of the state of Tennes-
see.
Early in the year the New
York legislature passed two bills
for better fire protection, requir-
ing hotel stairways be separat-
ed from public Railways and en-
closed by flame : proof parti-
tons. Another bill prohibit
ed more than three elevators or
two dumbwaiters in the same ele-
vator shaft.
On June 21-a report fro mChi-
cago said that many hotels had
failed to comply with a new city
ordinance passed last December
and affecting 1885 hotels. The
ordinance demanded enclos-
ure of stairway-wells and ele-
vator shafts with flame = proof
materials, but hotel men claim
ed a shortage of material and
expert labor had prevented them
from acting promptly.
Some 1.ates have passed legis-
lation against smoking in hotel
beds, with heavy fines and Jail
sentences as penalties. One no.
tel insurance man explained:
"We don't have any spies
peeking into rooms, but fires
started by a bed smoker can al
ways be detected, and the occu-
pant of the room is liable"

PARKING METERS
TAKE $44,986.33
Manager Benson Lauds Me-
chanical Col
lectOrs

Wilmington's $500 parking me
tiers brought in $44, 1858 in rev
enue during the past fiscal yeai
and are responsible FOR: the cur
rent city tax rate being 10 cents
lower than it would be other
wise if no meters existed, City
Manager J. R. Benson said Sat
uIday.
Although a good means OF rev
enue for the city, the primary
purpose Of the meters is to re;
lieve the parking problem: and
in this respect they are more
than accomplishing what install
lation proposed, according to
Benson.
Elimination of meters not only
would mean that parking PROB
lens would increase manliold,
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-14

but likewise would mean thai
the tax rate would have to be IN
creased 10 cents unless other
means of obtaining revenue
were found. he said.
The meters, which last year
brought in from 81. 100 to s4.3oo
a month in nickles and pennies,
this year are bringing in from
So, 300 to $4,000.
Benson attributed the decline
to fewer vehicles being on the
street than during peak war
years.
Municipal statistics show that
Wilmington has one OF the hgh-
est rates in the nation IN the
amount of collections per meter,
according to the city manager,
who said that municipal experts
consider the ideal set-up as one
where two parking places are
available as an average on each
side of a street having parking
meters. Use of meters here, ne
added, is still above the deslr-
able point from the standpoint
of parking accommodations, IN
dicating that Wilmington stu
has more of a. parking problem
than it should in spite OF the
meter use.
He pointed out that most large
cities used meters and that a
large number of small ones in
the state were putting them IN
now that the legislature had pro-
vided that towns of less than
20, 900 population would have
them.

Piranha of South America
Finny Fiend Without Fear

A finny fiend common in some
of the fresh waters of South Amer
lea is the piranha or caribe (from
the Spanish cannibaD. This fish
is remarkable for its voracity.
The fish is not much larger than
a bass of good size. But it is
equipped with sharp, triangular
teeth, the lower shearing past the
upper, that enable it to tear hunks
of flesh from its victims.
Fish of the piranha species are
attracted by blood and will at
tack anything-fish, animal or hu-
man-to which their attention is
drawn. A school of a hundred of
these fish can strip all the flesh
from an animal as big as a dog
in a matter Of minutes. There
have been instances of humans
being killed by them.

Government Efficiency

A BILL that can, and probably
will, be of the greatest consequence
to the people of the United States,
passed the house of Representatives
without single dissenting vote. It
establishes commission Of IL men
to study and analyze the many de-
partments, bureaus, administra-
tons and agencies of the federal
government; to determine those
that offer a service of value to the
people; to eliminate Implications
now existent in government. The
commission is to be strictly nom
partisan body, composed of equal
numbers of both parties. One half OF
its members are to be legislative
and administrative officials of the
government. and one half are to be
laymen without government con-
nection. That commission can re-
lieve us of the heavy burden of
government cost; Of many needless
bureaus and employed bureaucrats
on government payrolls; of the ex-
pensive and tiresome interference
of government departments. 1t can
replace the hodge-podge with which
we now are afflicted and give us an
organization whose only job is that
of serving all the American people.

the way of economies in operations
Of the federal government. Under
present conditions it delivered
about all we could expect, with but
two exceptions.
The last Republican con-
trolled congress was back in
1929-30. Since that time the
place Of America in world af-
affairs has changed radically.
Then we were powerful. Today
we are all powerful. Today the
world is in the midst of chaos,
and we are the one nation in a
position to provide assistance.
If we are to maintain our free
enterprise, profit system ideol-
ogy, we must help other nations
that have followed the same
system, If they are to survive.
Supporting these nations Is an
item of expense no congress,
Republican or Democratic, can
honorably, or safely, avoid. 1t
runs into big money and will
continue to do so for some
years.
Another excess item is the cost Of

which either a Republican or DEM

SAME OLD PORK BARREL
The Republican congress saved
us, John @. Public, many a dollar
some four billion less than Presi-
dent Humans irreducible mini
mum-but it failed US in not more
greatly reducing the number of bu-
reaucratic jobs we must pay for,
and in not eliminating "pork." The
old barrel is still operating. Politics
still being in operation in Washing
ton, we should not have expected
either of these savings and should
not feel too keenly disappointed.
With those two exceptions added to
what we did get, the total would
have been just about the six billion
we were promised.
1t would seem that patronage
and "pork' are unacceptable re-
CARELESS of which party is in

holder can be changed, but once
a job has been established,
there seems no possibility OF
dispensing with 1t, even though
to do so would improve the
quality Of government service.
All too large a percentage OF
those the voters send to congress
feel it is their province to bring
back to the home state or the home
district a considerable portion Of
the money in the vaults of the
United States treasury to be ex-
pended on the home folks. Those
from any one state would not get
far in such project, but by sys-
tenn of "you scratch my back and I
will scratch yours" they club to-

of "pork." The appropriations COM
mittee of the house cut out much of
that, but the senate put back con-
siderable portion, and the house

SECURITY FROM WAR FIRST
CONCERN OF AUXILIARY

Security from war will be the
first concern of the women of the
American Legion Auxiliary in their
work during the coming year. The
Auxiliary will continue to advocate
greatly expanded national securi-
ty system based on military train
ing for all young men. The Nation
al Convention urged the calling of
special session of Congress to con-
slider security legislation. When
Congress NETS again the Auxiliary
will work throughout the country
to make more articulate public
opinion favoring greater prepara-
tion against war.
Polls show that seventy-five per
cent of all Americans favor univer-
sal military training. This senti-
ment is growing stronger all the
time as the insecurity of today's
peace becomes more evident. The
members of the American Legion
Auxiliary are convinced that our
country can be secure only by being
prepared to meet aggression.
Less fortunate countries of the
world are looking to the United
States not only for economic aid
but for protection against COM
munism. We know that our voice
will be held in the world only if
we are strong. Failure to maintain
our military strength will invite
further communist aggression
against other countries which would
bring this menace closer to Amer
lea and our country closer to war.
For many years to come our
country must carry a heavy re-
sponsibility for the protection of
peace and freedom throughout the
world. This burden can best be
carried by universal military train
ing. With all young Americans
trained and other preparations in
order, no dictator will be rash
enough to begin another attempt at
world conquest.

Know Your Cotton Laws

Sale of cotton goods was forbid
den in England in 100 because it
competed with native wool. Long
before this, in India, about 5000
years ago. cloth began to be made
OF cotton. Ancient ruins of Peru,
show that the people who lived in
the Andes made cotton cloth even
before it was manufactured in In
ola. The Pueblo Indians, in what is
now New Mexico grew cotton and
made blankets Of it. U. S. produces
haf OF the cotton Of the world. The
invention OF the cotton gin by Eli
whitney in 1898 made u. S. the
leading cotton country Of the world.
