IA ed last year for arson was
the Pennsylvania farmer, saddled
with obsolete dairy equipment,
who thought he could blame his
crime on mythical bolt from the
blue. Aware that lightning causes
81 per cent of all rural blazes,
he insured his property heavily.
patiently waited for a stormy
night, then set fire to his barn.
Local authorities, viewing the
charred ruins, saw no reason to
doubt the farmers story that
lightning had been the culprit.
Not SD gullible, however, was
the insurance-company arson
sleuth. He visited the regional
U. S. Weather Bureau office and
obtained evidence that, on the
night of the rainstorm, lightning
had not struck in the entire county.
The evidence convinced a Jury,

soaked rags. He then poured gas
oline into the tank which supplied
the automatic sprinkler system, so
that when he ignited the rags the
protective pipes would literally add
fuel to the flames. The resulting
three-alarm blaze wiped out the
building. When the arson sleuths
inspected the ruins, it seemed they
couldn't find enough evidence to
convict FREELY.
He Forgot Somethin1
YET it was this very lack of
evidence that trapped this partic-
ular ffebug. He could not explain
why there were no buttons in
the ashes; for as he himselfrealned
too late, the bone buttons on mems
suits defy cremation.
Cases like this are routine to

Match Thexapy

DURING the next "a hours from
two to six criminal incendiaries
will contribute their villainy in the
constant hot war being waged
against the country's fire detec-
tives. Confident that incriminat-
ing evidence is usually destroyed
by the flames, the frebugs will
attempt to lift their financial bur-
dens with match. Most of them
will fail, thanks to modern arson
fighting techniques which sound
like something out of Sherlock
Holmes.
Today the modern fire depart
ment is equipped with cameras
for photographing evidence which
may vanish with the collapse of
building. There are also special
tight-sealed cans and sponges for
mopping up and preserving any
inflammable liquids found where
they shouldn't be.
Another innovation is the at
mosphere-preserver. With this,
detectives are able to bottle up
quantity of air inside the
burning building and analyze
it for telltale fumes. All this
makes it tough for the incendiary
Jimmy Valentines.

In Filling Vacancy
On Atomic Board
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, Of
Connecticut, called today for early
appointment of a fifth member of
the Atomic Energy Commission.
President Truman is reported
looking around for a young, vigorous
member to replace w. w. Waymack,
who has resigned. Senator Nc
Mahon said he hopes the appoint
ment will be made soon so the COM
mission can be fully stated.
Senator Mcmahon, chairman of
the Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee, told a reporter he will
wait until after action has been
taken on the forthcoming nomina-
ton before he introduces legislation
to chance the terms of atomic COM
missioners.
The Republican-controlled 8Oth
Congress altered the law to end all
commission terms in 1850. This was
done, Republicans said at the time,
so the COP President they had ex-
pected to elect could have a free
hand in naming his own commits

Relief Work in West;
Snow Halls Hay|ift
BY the Assceioted Press

Cold and wet weather was
general over the Nation today
and in the Western States bliz-
zard relief was hampered by sub
zero cold and new SHOWS in some
sections.
In Nevada, one of the States
most severely affected by storms,
SHOWS halted haylift operations for
the first time since they started
January "a.
The mercury dipped to ~ below
zero at Grand Forks, N. OAK, and
lit was below zero over most Of the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Montana and in some spots in
Wyoming and Colorado.
Overall Picture Called Bad.
President Truman yesterday told
his press conference that the relief
situation was we'll in hand and that
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Fed
eral Works administrator, had re-
ported to him that every part of
the Government was at work to
alleviate distress.
Even so, Gen. Fleming said in
Salt Lake City that the overall pic
ture presented by Western winter
conditions looks "as bad as any my
ofhce has been asked to handle" "
The relief co-ordinator continues
his inspection tour today, going by
plane to Pierre, S. OAK, with his
deputy co-ordinator. George Fields.
They will confer with livestock men
and Federal officials.
Gen. Fleming expects to present
his complete report to President
Truman Immediately after his re-
turn to Washington Sunday.
Another S5oo,o0o Appropriated.
Mr.. Fields said Gen. Fleming
feels the most urgent need now is
to get his report to the President
and before Congress to speed Fed
eral aid for the disaster areas.
Congress meanwhile swiftly ap-
proved another $500,000 appropria-
ton for the Presidents emergency
relief fund yesterday.
The House passed the bill by a
123-to-0 standing vote and the Sen
ate quickly sent the measure to the
