Proposal 10 Remove
Receiving Home 10
jolly Acres Dropped

The Children's Receiving Home
will not be moved to jolly Acres
near Laurel this fall, the Commis-
sioners decided today, because It
will be too costly to repair the build
ings.
Instead they will be housed in
one of the public school buildings
here. which are not being used for
classroom purposes.
When the Board Of Public We'll
fare decided to take. the children to
jolly Acres they asked the Com
misSioners to get Congressional
permission to use $4,000 which was
earmarked to renoyate the buildings
for the National Training School for
Girls.
Commissioner Young sent engi-
neers to Jolly Acres to make an
investigation but they reported 1t
would take at least 500, 900 to put
the buildings in shape. The Com
missioners decided this was toe
much and the idea was abandoned
The plan to move the children
temporarily to the rapid treatment
center at Galiinger Hospital also
may be changed, 1t was learned to-
day. The children will be kept at
the Lincoln and Dunbar Buildings
at the training school grounds until
the school in the District is ready
for them.
At the Public Welfare Depart
ment today Acting Director Ray
mond F. Clapp said that several
buildings owned by the District were
being inspected by a committee OF
the board and the Engineer De-
partment. The Health and Fire De-
partments also viii be called on for
advice. They have several in view
he said, and a decision will be
reached some time this week.
The Gallinger Hospital Building
however, has not been definitely
abandoned, it was said, because ex-
tensive repairs may have to be made
at the school selected to house the
children.

In Cities, States
Urged by Clark
Points Out Lack
OF Federal Statute
On IneendiuY Fire

Attorney General Clark today
urger stricter State and city laws
to help prevent fires.
He also told delegates attending

prevention they might well study"
how Federal laws could be changed

Some States, according to the At
torney General have no arson laws.
He pointed out motorists who cause
death while driving under the influ-
ence of liquor can be prosecuted for
negligent homicide and suggested
some similar law should cover deaths
from fires caused by carelessness.
More than 1000 State and city
officials are attending the confer
ence in the departmental auditor
1um.
Percy Bugbee, general manager Of
the National Fire Protection Asso-
citation, suggested every home In the
United States be inspected period
tcally for common fire hazards. just
as business establishments are. He
also suggested the conference ask
cigarette manufacturers to educate
the public in careful smoking habits
Smokers Cause 10000 Fires.
About 10000 fires were caused
last year by careless smokers, he
said, adding death from fires caused
: by smoking in bed has become all
too common"
Mai. Gen. Harold r. Bull of the
ONCE OF the Secretary of War told
the conference fire was probably the
most devastating of all weapons In
World War II. He said development
of new weapons will increase fire
/ devastation many hundred-fold.

Senate Action
Put Off Wee On
Gun -Ioiing Bill
Kentuckiun Blocks
Passage, Asking Time
70 Study Measure
By Don S. Warren

Senate action on the House passed
bill designed TO put crimp on
Illegal gun-toting In the District
now IS expected to be sought some
time next week.
Passage was blocked yesterday by
Senator Cooper, Republican, Of KEN
tucky, q member Of the Senate
District Committee, who told re-
porters he favors the detectives Of
the measure but wants further time
for study.
He said he wants to consider the
implications OF the bill In the
light OF the fourth amendment to
the Constitution, which safeguards
civilian rights against unreasonable
searches and seizures.
Explains Interest In Bill.
Senator Cooper indicated his In
terest in the measure was stimulated
by the Monday decision of the
United States Supreme Court In
the Harris case, involving question
of search and seizure. After read
ing the statutes, with reference to
the high court decision, however.
he said he believed the decision
did not touch circumstances In the
gun-toting measure.
The bill, one Of several crime-
deterrent measures proposed last
year as . result Of the extended
labors Of the special Hebert sub
committee OF the House District
Committee, would permit police,
without warrants, to make arrests
and to search persons they have
reason to believe were illegally car
rying concealed weapons.
After the Kentucky Senator de-
layed action yesterday, during q
call OF the consent calendar in the
Senate, several conferences were
held. Out Of them came tenta-
tive suggestion for an amendment
to the measure to make the illegal
carrying Of concealed weapons q
felony, instead OF leaving it mis-
demeanor.
Would Amend Statute.
As now written, the bill would
amend the dangerous weapons
statute by adding a proviso that
arrests, without warrant and
searches and seizures pursuant
thereto, may be made for violation
|of this section, by police officers,
as in the case of felony, upon
probable cause that the person
arrested Is violating this section at
the time of the arrest"
The House District Committee,
in favorably reporting the bill, de-
clared it had deliberated as to
whether carrying Of concealed weap-
ons should be made felony.
I'VE have come to the opinion
that the possibility Of punishment
under present legislation Is sufficient
and will serve as an adequate deter
rant If the present obstacle to sue
Icessful prosecution is eliminated"
the committee added.
The present law prescribes q
maximum punishment Of 81 600 or
year in Jail, or both, under the mis-
demeanor classification. If the
offense were made a felony, the
punishment would have to be raised
to at least a year and day of
confinement.
Passage of the bill as it was writ
ten In the House was urged by
United States Attorney George Nor
ris Fay. His position Indicated the
sanction of the Justice Department.
The measure was Endorsed by JUS
tices Of the District Court, judges
Of the Municipal Court, the District
Commissioners and Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West, among
others

Urgency Of Amending
ID. {. insurance Code
Told 10 House Group

! District officials and members Of
Congress today stressed at hear
ing before a House subcommittee
the necessity OF prompt legislation to
amend the District Insurance Code
In compliance with a ruling by the
United States Supreme Court. Bills
have been introduced affecting
casualty and certain other insur-
ance.
The District, like the States, now
Is operating under a moratorium
expiring next January which the
last Congress enacted as result
Of the high court ruling in the
Southeastern Underwriters Associ-
alton case. This held that insurance
business was commerce subject to
antitrust statutes.
A hearing on the subject was held
by the Simpson subcommittee of
the House District Committee.
which is considering five different
bills to amend the District Insur-
ance Code.
States Look for Model Law.
Representative Poulson, Repub-
Ican, of California, author of one
Of the bills, told the subcommittee
State Legislatures are looking to
Congress to pass model law for
the District. which might be guide
to the States. s
He and other witnesses told the
subcommittee great confusion would
result should Congress and the
States fail to enact necessary legis-
lation governing fixing Of rates.
Albert F. Jordan, District super
intendent of insurance, and Lloyd
B. Harrison, assistant corporation
counsel, told the committee it was
virtually necessary that Congress
enact at this session some kind of
legislation. Mr.. Harrison told the
committee the. District government
preferred the bill introduced by
Representative Simpson, Republic
an, Of Illinois, chairman of the sub
committee. He added, however, that
legislation was more important than
the difference between the bills.
Measure Held Cheaper.
The Simpson measure, Mr.. Harri-
son added, would cost the District
Government less money, he said,
since other bills would require the
insurance department to hold more
hearings. He voiced fears the insur-
ance superintendent might be tied
up for weeks or months at a time
on series Of hearings.
In addition to the Simpson and
Poulson bills, the committee has be-
fore it measures by Representatives
Gwynne, Republican, of Iowa;
Scott, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
and McMillen, Republican, of IL
linois.
The hearings are scheduled to
continue tomorrow, Friday and Sat-
urday.
