examined the ruins, he noticed
something curious. Clinging to
the remains of the telephone was
a short wire with bit of melted
copper at the end. The agent
checked with the local telephone
exchange and learned that a long
distance call had been put through
to the house on the night of the
fire, some 10 minutes before the
flames we're noticed.
The owner had attached wire,
ending in small blasting cap, so
it would ignite a container of
gasoline when the phone rang.
Then, after midnight, he had
touched off the fire by calling his
own unoccupied house from Chi
cago. His remote-control alibi
failed to save him from prison.
It is also the duty of the Arson
Squad agent to clear innocent sus-
poets. When a Cleveland factory
burnedrecently. for example, arson
was suspected. But a fire-detection
expert poking through the ruins
deduced that sunlight passing
through glass flower bowl in the
presidents Office had set fire to
the paper in a wastebasket.
Just for 4 Thrill
AFTER 20 years of hunting down
fire-makers. Bielaski finds that
five motives account for most in
cendiarism. Fires are set for in
surance, for revenge, to wipe out
a rivals business, to conceal an
other crime and finally because of
that strange form of unbalance,
pyromania.
Pyromaniacs kindIe fires for
the thrill of watching them
and the excitement of crowds
and changing fire engines. They
are usually caught at the scene of
their crime. New York City's fab
ulous Chief Fire Marshal, Thomas
Brophy, up until the time of his
recent retirement. used to nail
pyromaniacs simply by keeping
an eye on the faces of people
watching blazes, and noting what
they said and how they acted.
Brophy was at the scene when
fire threatened a New York hos
pital and its 800 patients. While
smoke billowed through the halls,
a woman gave birth to a baby,
and two major operations were
completed. The most excited per-
son in the place was one of the
porters. He had turned in the

that seems in any way suspicious.
Often Squad members arrive
with the fire engines. If possible,
they take photographs. The loca-
ton of the fire, the intensity of
the flames, the speed with which
the blaze gains headway, can be
filmed and furnish valuable clues.
Celluloid, for example, burns beau
tifully. 1t makes a fash fire and
will consume the furniture in an
apartment without destroying the
building. That kind of fire photo
graphs nicely, is almost always
incendiary.
Exposing Frauds
FIRE pictures also save insurance
companies thousands of dollars
when unscrupulous merchants try
to drag undamaged stock through
mud and water to collect the in
surance. Pictures made at the
time of the fire in the store where
it occurred help to expose such
frauds.
A trained fire sleuth can read
q piece of charred wood like a
page of print. Burned under
normal conditions, a slab of pine
finishes up in a definite pattern.
Add kerosene and the fire is
hotter and the charring is notice
ably different. The markings are
closer together, smaller.
Pat Hurley, one of Bielaski's
men, used to spend his Sundays
burning wood in the Connecticut
hills. He learned to fix the time
"A fire started from the pattern of
the char. Testifying as an expert,
Hurley upset dozens of alibis.
In one schoolhouse fire. he stated
that the blaze had been going
70 minutes. A boy who had
glanced at the clock before leav-
ing the building fixed the duration
of the fire at II minutes. One
minute off.
Evexyone Was Away
l HE way Bielaski and his men
are able to dig clues out of the
smoldering remains is one of the
miracles of crime detection. A fire
of mysterious origin once gutted a
$4,000 home on Long Island late
at night. At the time, the owner
was away on a business trip and
his family was on an ocean cruise.
The house was heavily insured.
No one was seen near the place
on the day of the fire.

Southern Papers
Are Blamed For
StereOtyping Negro

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. / - South

of the continuing stereotyping of

The council is an organization

achieve equal opportunity for all

The report, entitled Race in the

"The responsible editor" declar-

he does to all events. He simply
handles stories about Negroes with

Efforts to use a Negro college
president against the NAACP and
Birmingham fight against hous-
ing segregation boomeranged last
week against John Temrle Graves,
clever defender of the Southern
Tradition.
Graves. columnist for the Birm-
ingham Post wrote several days
ago that the fight against hous-
ing segregation was an outside
plot by the NAACP staff in New
York and did not represent the
thinking of "great Negro leaders"
of the South.
In order to bolster his PROPOSE
ton, he searched through the files
and unearthed statement Tuske-
gee President F. d. Patterson made
a decade ago. During that period
Patterson publicity differed with
NAACP heads on strategy and
tactics in the South and called for

VA Extends Time To
Re-enter Training
Under CT Bill

Extension to November /, 1913,
of time for enrolment of veterans
seeking to reenter training or to
change courses under the CT Bill
was made by the Veterans Adj
ministration.
The change in effective date of
the application of Public Law 266,
which prohibits certain types of
training under the CT Bill, was
made by Carl R. Gray, Jr., Admin
istrator of Veterans Affairs, who
said he granted the extension to
avoid working a possible hardship
on any students who had not had
time to complete plans for enter
ing schools before the original eff
fective date of the regulation,
which was September II, 1949.
Under the relaxed instructions,
all veterans who have made salts
factory progress in school have I'M
til November /, 1948, to enroll in
courses of training without the
necessity of prior approval of VA
for changes of course or reentry
into training after once having
completed or dropped out of a
course.
Public. Law 266, passed last Aug
ust "a, prohibits veterans from
taking CT Bill courses for recrea-
tional or avocational purposes, or
courses in institutions not in ex-
istence for at least one year. The
new instruction does not change
this prohibition, but after Novem-
Der /, 1919, new type of certifi-
cate of eligibility must be used,
which shows the course and school
the veteran seeks to enter. This,
VA said, will enable a quick
screening of applications for GER
tificates of eligibility to make sure
the training sought is permitted by
PL 266.

As First Step In
Stopping Negro
Killings Here

ty Grand Jury waving Prelimi-
nary Hearing.
Old time Court observers here
said that it was the first time in
recent history such a heavy bond

with killing another Negro. These
observers saw the fixing of such
bond as the first step in putting
a stop to the alarming and grow
ing killing of Negroes in Jackson
and Kinds County.
Daniels claimed accident in the
fatal shooting of his girl friend
comfy, 23-year-old, Eunice Scott,
in Washington addition early last
Thursday night. According to re-
ports, when arrested shortly after
the shooting Daniels told officers
that Eunice had been his girl friend
about nine months. He said he had
a date to meet her at cafe in
Washington's addition Thursday
night. After waiting sometime she
came by the cafe in the company
of another man, Ernest Davis.
When he called her she refused to
stop and talk to him. He said he
then got in his car, drove around
the block and met the couple. As
he got out of his car with pistol
in hand Davis fled. He then tried
to pull his girl friend in the car
and in the struggle the pistol ac-
cidently went off.
The young woman was shot
through the heart and died enroute
to the Jackson College clinic.
The body was turned over to the
Enterprise Funeral Home.

Predicts End To
US. Racial Bias

New York - (SNS) = General
Eisenhower, President of Column

when racial prejudice will vanish
and all U. S. citizens will be known
simply as Americans.
The famous war leader said so
last week when he spoke at an
outdoor dedication of the reno
waited boys building of the Har-
lem branch of the YMCA.
Speaking before an enthusiastic
audience of 10000 gathered along
135th St., IKE" hailed the great
strides made by Negroes since the
Civil war. He spoke glowingly of
such American figures as Booker
T. Washington, George Washing
ton Carver, Jackie Robinson, and
Ralph Bunche.
Eisenhower warned against the
intrusion into American life of
agitators. "Agitators," he said,
"are always attacking the Negro.
''But the 10 per cent of the pop
ulation which is Negro has held
fast. They have their represent
atives under crosses and they
never hesitated to spill their blood
