The BulWinkle Bill

In the latter part of January, the Sen
ate Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee again. held hearings on the
Bulwinkle bill. This measure is designed
to protect common carriers engaged IN
Joint tariff and rate-making efforts
through rate bureaus, from Federal anti
trust proceedings.
One Of the most remarkable things
about the Bulwinkle Bill is the support it
has received. AS J. Carter Fort, general
counsel Of the Association of American
Railroads, said, it is difficult to recall any
proposed transportation legislation with
which there is such unanimity in the in
formed views of those affected" 1t is being
backed by shippers, by railroads, by
legion of newspapers, by economists and
by regulatory officials.
AS an example of that, Clyde B. Aitchi-
son, chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, appeared before the Senate
Committee to recommend the measures
passage. He pointed out that subjecting the
railroads to antitrust proceedings may
interfere with carrying out the national
transportation policy" ]. Monroe Johnson,
director of the Office of Defense Trans
portation, and also an ICC member, offer
ed testimony, and said Its enactment, in
my judgment, should not be long delayed"
There can be no fear that the Bulwinkle
bill would promote monopoly" in trans
portation-the railroads are regulated in
every phase of operation by the ice and
state commissions The bill would simply
assure the railroads and shippers the right
to continue rate-making system which
has been long sanctioned by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and on which the
transportation machine is based, and for
which no one has been able to suggest
workable substitute

ProofOf Fireproof

The National Board of Fire Under
writers, through General Manager w. E.
Mallalieu, recently stated that it is con-
cerned with the reaction of the public to
the term "fireproof' as applied to hotels.
Fireproof construction" Mr.. Mallalieu
continued, as used by the fire insurance
industry, is designed to indicate type OF
construction in which the contents of the
building can be completely destroyed
and at the same time leave the framework
of the building, including the interior, cap
able of rehabilitation and continued use.
AS result, the word "fireproof," as
applied to a hotel, should never be used,
regardless Of the type Of exterior construc-
ton, unless all vertical openings, such as
stairs, elevators and shafts are closed with
partitions and equipped with fire doors.
This is the only way to prevent the swift
upward travel Of fire from one floor 20
another-which was the primary cause Of
death and injury in both the LaSalle Hotel
and Winecoff Hotel disasters.
Also Mr.. Mallalieu added, in a build
ing properly designated as "fireproof,"
there must be no transoms, and the sep
arating partition and doorways between
rooms and corridors must be of such type
as to prevent the ready spread OF fire from
one to the other. The air-condltlonlng
system must be of a design which will
not permit heated, poisonous gases to trav-
ell into rooms.
The enforcement of proper 'fireproof"
standards is a function of municipalities.
Where building codes are inadequate and
obsolete, as they are in hundreds Of towns
and cities, the protection of the public de-
mands their immediate modernization-
followed by vigorous enforcement.

buyers for retail stores are casting jaun-
diced eyes on sub-standard merchandise.
They are questioning prices which seem
out of line. They know that the consumer
will again demand the best possible pro-
duct for the least possible price-and they
are out to meet that demand
This certainly does not mean that prices
are going to crack wide open-the pres
sures are still inflationary in many cases.
But it does indicate that there is going to
be less and less shoddy Northumberland
more and more goods which offer maxi
mum and dependable value in their price
brackets. And, by the same token, store
stocks are once more being built up to ap-
proximations of pre-war abundance and
selection.
This is retailing's traditional service to
the nation Store operators are as pleased
as anyone else to see the economy of
scarcity gradually disappear.
