Fire-Safety Tips

A clean home seldom burns. A
spic and span house seldom is a
fire victim. Since ninety percent
of all fires can be prevented by
simple, commonsense precautions,
the Delaware Safety Council offers
few fire-safety tips to keep in
mind the whole year round:
1. Check from cellar to attic,
inside and outside your home, for
rubbish. Get rid of it. Oily rags
should either be burned or stored
in a metal container.
2. Check the heating system
for cracks, SCOT and clogging.
Watch for woodwork and other
combustible material near the
heating system.
3. Keep ashes in covered metal
containers and shield fireplaces
with screens.
4. Supply ash trays literally

lion Lutherans in the world are
greater numerically than all the
other Protestant bodies together.
There are four areas in which
American Lutheranism falls be-
hind other groups, Dr.. Bergendoff
asserted.
I'm the area of church and
thought we should have much
greater influence than we have"
he declared. 1--WE are the only
Protestant body that has never
sponsored university. Our edu-
cational program in America has
sat still for practically a hundred
years. Our influence in literature
and art in America is small. There
is more puritanism in Lutheran
churches than we are willing to
admit"
He said that Lutherans have
not made themselves felt ade-
quately on the question Of church
and state relationship, nor in the
issue of the church and economics.
What are the Lutherans doing
to solve the problems of labor,
pensions and similar queStions?"
he asked. There is a defeatism in
the Lutheran Church. We are here
to serve and not to hide our light
under a bushel."

greater evangelistic effort be made
so the gospel can be brought to

Jury Weighing Fate
Of Arson Suspect in
Tex's Grill Fire

A District Court jury began de-
liberating today to determine
whether Richard r. Baker, prin-
cipal owner of Tex's Grill, got an
employe to set the place on fire in
order to collect insurance.
Testimony in the trial of Baker
on arson charges was completed
yesterday, and final arguments
were made by opposing counsel

presided at the trial, instructed
the jury of II today. The trial
went ahead minus one juror, who
became i'll.
Specifically. Baker was tried on
an indictment accusing him and
two others with arson in connec-
ton with a fire which damaged
the grill at 1861 H street NE
last July S. The indictment SIM
ply charges the trio with burning
the place. The other two have
pleaded guilty.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Grace B. Stiles contended that
Baker persuaded the employe,
William P. Corley, 10, of the 500
block of K street NE, to set the
place on fire in an effort to collect
insurance. The insurance, it was
testified, included 100000 for busi-
ness interruption, in addition to
several thousand dollars insurance

Corley testified that, as an in
ducement to set the place on fire,

and to give him an interest in
new business. Baker, he said,
had told him he would open up a

Judith CopIon Seeks
Freedom Under Bond
During Appeal Action
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 10.-Attor-
neys for Judith Coplon will ask
the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals today to let her out Of
Jail on bond during the legal
battle to overthrow her conviction
for spying.
The Government is expected to
fight the move to the last ditch on
the ground that the 28-year-old
ex-Government girl now has a
tremendous incentive to flee the
country.
In international law, espionage
is considered only political
crime - and political refugees
cannot be extradited like common
criminals.
Held in Jail.
Miss Coplon, who was sentenced
to Is years in prison yesterday,
has been held behind bars for
three days. She was convicted
Tuesday by a Federal jury that
found her guilty. with Soviet En-
gineer Valentin A. Gubitchev, of
plotting to spy against the United
States.
Gubitchev, who has been given
his choice of going back to Rus
STA within two weeks or doing Is
years himself, also has been held
without bail since the verdict.
Judge Sylvester j. Ryan denied
new bail for both at the sentenc-
ing yesterday, and their attorneys
at once filed notice of appeal with
the Circuit Court. This gave the
higher court jurisdiction over the
case and will allow tiff it de-
sires-to grant bond without re-
gard for Judge Ryan'S refusal.
Decision Reserved.
When asked yesterday after
noon, however, Circuit Judge
Thomas w. Swan, sitting alone,
reserved decision and told the
lawyers they could file briefs with
the court today.
But he asked the Government
prosecutor, John M. Kelley, jr.,
what amounts he would suggest
for bail. Mr.. Kelley named no
figures, but said they should be
very high. considering the impos-
sibility of extraditing Miss Cop
lon if she should leave the
country.
Gubitchev gave no hint yester-
day whether he would accept the
offer to go home or stay here
and fight the conviction. Since
he is a Soviet official, the ques-
ton probably is up to Moscow
His attorney, however, filed notice
of appeal.
