Four Die as Stove Fire
Sweeps Texas Dance Hall

FREDERICKSBURG, Tex, Dec
Is (P.-Four persons died last night
in a fire which swept a huge, single
story dance hall only minutes be-
fore a Christmas night ball was to
begin.
The dead were identified as:
Mrs. Otto Seipp, So, wife of the
owner Of the dance hall
Albert Petri, IS, and his wife, 46,
of San Antonio.
Mrs. Benno Eckhardt, IS, an en-
ploye of the concession stand.
The blaze started around $50 pm
and swept the building in a few
minutes, spreading to the adjoining
grandstand of the baseball park.
Only about 80 persons had arrived
for the dance when the fire started.
Orchestra Leader Alvin Hohnberger
said he saw the stove suddenly 80
up in flames, which spread up the
wall to the ceiling. He said the
flames spread so fast members of
the orchestra left their instruments
on the stand and ran for life"
Sheriff Robert 10th said the bulk
of the crowd would have arrived
at the dance hall in just a few
more minutes and said it possibly
would have numbered 1000 persons.
A search of the ruins for possible
additional victims was continued

SOCIAL SECURITY BATTLE
Another attempt to bring Federal
employees under the social security
system probably will be made dur
ing the next session Of Congress.
This move will be strongly resisted
and, in all probability, defeated by
Government employe groups, who
have always contended that the
civil service retirement system is far
superior to social security coverage.
Transferring the Federal employees
retirement system under social Sc
curity would be the f1rsts move in
an effort to ultimately do away with
the civil service retirement benefits,
these officials believe.
One benefit that social security
coverage' would give to Federal en-
ployes, which they do not now have,
is widows and orphans survivor
ship insurance. But Government
workers groups feel that they can
secure these benefits for them
selves if the LANCER -Chavez-Steven-
son bill is passed.
The latest fareup occurred when
the AFL National Association of
Letter Carriers referred to a pro-
posal, which it said was made by
Arthur J. Altmeyer, commissioner
for Social Security, that Federal
employees be brought under the juris-
diction of his agency. Mr. Altmeyer
spoke at meeting Of the Advisory
Council on Social Security, set UP
to advise the Senate Finance Com
mittee on what changes should be
made in social security legislation.
In bitter attack on the proposal,
the NALC declared: "We will fight
it to the limit, because we have
spent more than quarter of a
century bringing our present re-
tirement law to its current posi-
ton. And while we believe our
retirement law could stand several
liberalizing amendments, neverthe-
less, in its present language, it offers
letter carriers land all other Gov
eminent employees much more than
social security"

RACINE, Wis, Dec. 26.-The rare
blood disease which two years ago
cost 1O-year- old Neil Wachs his leg
finally claimed his life Christmas
Day-but not until the lad, an en-
thusiastic football fan, had spent a
glorious fall.
Little Neil wasn't supposed to live
until Christmas, especially after he
was stricken with pneumonia several
months ago. That he did, the doc
tors said today, is tribute to scores
of big-time football players and
coaches of the Middle West.
Word of Neils hopeless plight was
never printed. The doctors said 1t
would be disastrous, since he fol-
lowed religiously the sports pages
of several newspapers every day.
But all Western Conference
schools and the National Football
League clubs were told about him.
and that they responded was re-
flected in the remnants on the walls
