Evidence at the inquiry was
that Capt. Taylor attempted to
fight the fire personally when
caught below decks by the out
break.
The Federal investigator found
that the fire broke out in small
linen closet. ..-..
Justice Kellock gave no finding
on the actual cause o: the fire but
he said there was no evidence Of
incendiarism.
Justice Kellock found that the
fire-fighting equipment on the
Noronic apparently was satisfac-
tory and in good working order.
However. he recommended that
provisions for fire-resistant bulk
heads should be made applicable
to such ships as the Noronic, which
was built before the regulations
came into effect.
Other recommendations for
ships in major inland waters:
/. That an efficient and con-
tinuous fire patrol be maintained,

2. That safety-prevention pro-
visions be complied with in con-

contract. About $13.000,000 was
collected since June 80 and Sen
ator Bridges, fearing his RESPONSE
bility as a trustee in the absence
Of a contract, voted against using
that money.
Mr.. Lewis has argued that the
benefits should be kept up, even
if it means spending the summer
collections.
The Senator has asked for a
court accounting in order to quit
as a trustee. Senator Bridges
sided with the UNIV chief In
deciding to cut of all but emer-
gency payments on September 16.
It was three days later that AGO.
900 hard and soft coal miners
walked out.
The soft coal miners east Of
the Mississippi were idle for 50
days, until Mr.. Lewis called q
truce OIL November 8. That truce
expires November 80.
President Truman has indicated
he will use the machinery Of the
Tart Hartley Act to keep the min
ers at work-if he sees that q
resumption Of the walkout would
create an emergency. He said no
such emergency existed yet.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lewis has in
vited the operators to come around
to see him about a new contract.
So far, none has taken him up
at least publicly.
Unless the White House makes
some move to bring the operators
and Mr.. Lewis together-either
through Presidential Assistant
John R. Steelman or Cancellation
Director Cyrus s. Ching - Mr..
Lewis may have to renew his
invitation.
He may call q formal negotia-
ton session some time this week
in an effort to get q new agree
ment. The operators have said
there is no use comforting with the
mine chief unless he asoftens hil
demands. They say x1Ex cannns
give him anything this year that
would add to labor costs. He says
his demands would cost 80 or IS
cents q ton-but insists it could
come out of profits.

ton that Mr.. Lewis might try to

This strategy has worked for him

FAC
(continued From First Page.)

FAC report issued over the week
end, which said harvests in the
Northern Hemisphere have turned
the tide against world starvation.
The report added that production
still is behind world needs.
The director general mentioned
only briefly. in his opening talk,
the proposal to set up world food
bank, or clearing house. as a
means of getting surpluses from
one area into another area where
food is scarce. -.
Two Great Problems Ahead.
DR.. Dodd said perfection is not
claimed" for recommendation as
to how to meet world food needs,
and added:
But the world would long ago
have starved II farmers had
waited for perfect seed. tools,
soil and climate. Let us, like
practical men, begin with what
is good enough. and improve it IN
practice" i
Mr.. Dodd said~there are. two
great needs confronting govern
ments and their people.
Zone of these great needs Is to
push forward as fast as possible
toward economic development: If
this is to come about. food and
agricultural products must be
more plentifully and eficiently
produced wheres they are now IN
suficient. The fundamental wen
being Of people must be increased
"The other great need is to gear
the distribution Of the products
of farms, forests and fisheries
more nationally to the worlds
production potentials, so as to
avoid disastrous surpluses and
resultant restrictive actions. even
while millions remain unfed, I'M
clothed and unsheltered.
Would Have S Billion Capital.
1.-THE great thing is that we are
advancing, nation side by side
with nation. Let us here take
the decisions. and let us follow
them with the actions, which Will
keep us moving toward q world
where no man need 60 hungry, or

Doubt that Congress would be

money has put the projects tate

ford to arm and support them"
he declared.
ITO continue pouring billions OF
the American taxpayers money
into support of Socialism in Great
Britain is a betrayal of public
trust, the Senator said. .
why should our taxpayers be
drained to bolster Socialism
abroad when we don't want it at
home? Is it any wonder that the
administration at Washington,
which harbors so many socialistic
ideas and champions the welfare
state, Is eager to support Social
ism IN Great Britain?"

Mr.. Chambers told of his break
with the party in April, 1938-of
his alleged unsuccessful attempt
the following December to per-
suade Mr.. Hiss to turn from COM
munism-of his conversion to the
Quaker religion in 1941-of his
long fight toward a position Of
respected eminence as senior edi-
tor of Time Magazine.
Mr.. Chambers resigned this
position last year because Of his
admissions concerning his past &C
tivities.
Mr.. Hiss was trim and hand
some in a well-pressed gray SUIT.
and his wife Priscilla sported a.
new black hat with two long
feathers at today's session. They
sat together in the courtroom
smiling occasionally as Mr.. Cham
bers introduced some new detail
about the relationship he says
they had with him.
Says He Gave Hiss Book.
One of these details concerned
several pieces of furniture, in
Guiding an unfinished chest of
drawers which Mr.. Chambers was
given him by the Kisses and
which he still has. He, in turn,
gave Mr.. Hiss a copy of the book
Forty Days Of Musa Dagh," he
said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiss testified at
the first trial that they knew Mr..
Chambers only casually. as a
free-lance writer called George
Crosby"
Regarding the house at 1245
Thirtieth street NV, where the
Kisses lived in 1886 and 1887, Mr..
Chambers related that he and Mr..
Hiss did most of their comforting
IN the basement dining room.
This, he said. was because the
walls of the building were so thin
they were afraid neighbors next
door could hear what they were
saying.
