hear again the wise reminder
that every one cannot crowd

facilities can't stretch that
wide. So there has, sprung
into popularity Of late years
the idea Of staggering" sum-

May or even April. That's
where Florida comes in.
It's an open secret among
those who know Flortda's peo-
pie that they really begin to
enjoy themselves when the
winter tourists leave. It Is not
that they are glad to see them
go. That has some compensa-
tions, but the principal thing
that warns their hearts. aside
from better fishing. Is that the
weather improves. Take. for

Group 10 Study Safety
By Restricting Vessels
OF Ammonium Nitrate

The confinement of ammonium
nitrate shipments to certain ports
and the limiting of movements OF
ships laden with the explosive will
be studied by a committee now
being set up in an effort to avert
a blast similar to the one which
caused the Texas City CTex)
disaster last April.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, gen.
eral chairman of the Presidents
Conference on Fire Prevention, to-
day was considering personnel for
the committee.
The conference, representative of
industry, the armed forces, trans
portation, government and other
groups, closed yesterday afternoon
in the Departmental Auditorium,
Thirteenth street and Constitution
avenue NV, after probing ways
and means Of barring another
catastrope.
As one of its last acts, the group
empowered Gen. Fleming to name
a five-man body to study anmoni-
UNI nitrate shipments from ports
other than isolated ammunition
ports, as well as other subjects.
The committee also will study the
movement Of vessels carrying am
monium nitrate from one United
States port to another. The resolu-
ton setting up the committee also
authorizes it to consider containers
for ammonium sulphate. Confer
ence speakers said paper bags, in
which the chemical was stored in
the hold of the vessel at Texas City,
contributed to the blast.
The new committee will Cooper
ate, officials said, with the Inter-
Agency Committee, composed of
Government and other experts,
which has been studying the whole
problem since July. Treasury Sec
rotary Snyder set up the Inter-
Agency Committee because of the
Coast Guard, which Is under his
supervision, has port Jurisdiction.
Col. Harold T. Miller, Army
Transportation Corps, told the con-
ference isolated ammunition ports
include Theodore, Ala. now oper-
ated by the Army, which is shipping
fertilizer to the occupied areas
abroad; Braithwaite, La, which Is
commercially owned, but the corps
is considering it as a standby am
munition port; Searsport, Me-;
Earle, N. j.; Concord, La; San ia
cinto, Tex; Port Chicago, Calf,
and Bangor, Wash.
Billings Wilson. New York Port
Authority official, representing the
American Association of Port AL
thorities, declared port officials miss
the wartime Coast Guard inspection,
which made such good record.
This, he said, Is now taking a back
seat" through lack Of appropriations
and the ports are left to the feeble
local attempts at fire control" in
nitrate fires.
Only when fire comes into actual
contact with ammonium nitrate
does there seem to be danger, Mr..
Wilson said, but this may come from
careless cigarette, a match of a
spark from nearby tugboat. Water
quickly and freely applied to the
fire will get it under control, he said,
but there is sometimes reluctance to
take such steps, since wet ammo
mum nitrate becomes caked and is
difficult to remove from the hold of
a ship.
Mr.. Wilson said he favors a two
mile separation from any built-up
areas for ammonium nitrate ship
loading ports. He said these ports
should be removed from gasoline
storage tanks and similar plants.
