Heating Plant
Fire Hazards
Menace Home

Fire hazards resulting from un-
safe installation and operation OF
heating plants are major causes
of home fires. These hazards
cause more than 100000 fires a
year, according to the National
Fire Protection Association.
One of the chief dangers is that
SCOT, which frequently accumu-
lates in chimneys and smoke
pipes, will be ignited. This makes
an exceptionally hot fire, from
which chimney sparks can scat
ter profusely.
Regular cleaning of chimneys
is recommended as safeguard.
Proper chimney construction also
is essential. A house should be
built so that no wood or other
combustible material touches the
chimney.
Because roofs are directly ex-
posed to chimney sparks, asphalt
shingles and other fire-resistant
roofings are high on the list of
protective building materials. Fire
protection engineers point out
that fire-resiStant roofing also
lessons the danger of sparks from
brush fires and similar outdoor
blazes.
Furnace smoke pipes leading to
chimneys must have adequate
clearance from ceilings and walls.
Smoke pipe sections should be
fitted together with metal screws
to withstand possible "puffbacks. F"
Although the primary purpose
of automatic temperature con-
trolls for heating equipment is to
maintain a constant degree of
heat indoors, controls of this kind
also serve as effective protection
against excessively high tempera-
lures which might result from
prolonged combustion during Sc
verely cold weather.

Thirteen year old Herman
Brown sped to victory in one heat
of Washington's first Soap Box
Derby in 1888.
Mr.. Browns stepson, Jerald Lea
berry. II, hopes to do the same in
this years race. Jerry, Q student
at the Kingsman School, is the
first boy to register for the 1850
derby.
In fact, Jerry hopes to outdo his
dad and win more than one heat
in the derby. to be held early in
July. He has an eye on Akron,
Ohio, where the District cham
pion is given a free trip to COM
pete in the international finals.
Mr.. Brown and Jerry were sit
ting together in their home at
2105 M street NE. yesterday.
studying the illustrated pamphlet
showing how to build a derby racer.
These pamphlets and 1850 rule
books are available when q boy
registers with his nearest Chevro-
let dealer.
Mr.. Brown. now rs and 4 me-
chanic, said the racers nowadays
aren't much different from those
in the early races. "The cars I
used in 1898 and 1889 would prob
ably be all right now with new
wheels and 4 drag brake instead
Of brakes pressing on the tires.
Those tire brakes used to throw
the car out Of line. Drag brakes
press on tho ground and don't do
this. I'm glad they changed the
rules" he said as he looked over
the 80 step-by-step pictures Of
racer construction.
my car in the first derby was
named The Blue Comet. It flashed,
but not long enough. About ESQ
boys we're in the race. It was on
New Hampshire avenue extended.
I had a lot Of fun with the car
after the race too. In fact, q cop
arrested me as I was doing about
so miles an hour down Naylor
road-maybe I shouldn't be say
ing this"
The next year, after he smashed
up the Blue Comet against . curb,
he built another car. He used q
barrel for tho front section, but
he thinks this was his demise.
II didn't do as web as the year
before. I think the Car had too
much front surface and the wind
held it back. The course was fast
in 1889. It was on Massachusetts
avenue near American University.
In fact it was too fast. There
were a bunch Of scared boys going
down that hill"
The present course, on Penn
sylvania avenue Sc. between
Branch and Alabama avenues. is
considered ideal. however.
Jerry plans to start building his
car as soon as possible to have
1t ready for this years race. I'll
start as soon As my grandfather
brings over some wood" he said.

ing Germany into the Western
defense orbit were brought out
through questions put by Republi-
can Senators Wherry of Nebraska
and Ferguson of Michigan.
At one point Senator Gordon
Republican, of Oregon broke in to
say he got the impression that
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Acheson had
made contradictory statements
about the Importance of bringing
the Germans into the North At
lantic mutual defense plan.
Mr.. Acheson had said that "a
program for Western Europe
which does not include the pro-
ductive resources of all the coun-
tries of Western Europe, which
includes Western Germany as well
as France, and includes the mill
tary manpower of all of Western
Europe, which includes Western
Germany as we'll as France, will
not be effective in the long-range
political sense. Therefore we must
include them BOTH"
Later, Secretary Johnson said
he wanted to correct any impress
sion that the military plans being
worked out under the North At
lantic Treaty organization would
be ineffective without German
manpower.
The arrangements will be eff
fective without that power" Mr.
Johnson went on. THE German
manpower would be in addition to
the strength I was talking about
before. I just want to get the
record straight"
Denies Inconsistency.
After Senator Gordon had noted
an apparent contradiction, Secre-
tary Acheson said he did not
think the testimony was incon-
sistent. Mr.. Acheson suggested
that Mr.. johnson was expressing
the military judgment that the
existing defense plans, without
Germany, would be effective. The
Secretary of State said he did not
intend to get into the military
field. but added:
THE Chiefs of Staff know what
they are talking about. What I
am trying to point out is that
over a period of time, if you do
not solve the proper need of the
German people for security and
for participation in the Western
European scheme you will have
a situation which will then cause
Evening star., 1950-09-13

so much trouble that your whole
plan will not be effective"
Chairman McKellar of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee said
he agreed with Mr.. Acheson 100
per cent" and contended there is
ample authority in the Foreign
Military Assistance Act to use
some Of the money Congress is
about to appropriate in Western
Germany if and when agreement
is reached with the other powers
to rearm the Germans.
1t was Senator McKellar who
brought up the question of
whether intelligence reports from
Korea in mid-June had given
high-ranking officials in Wash
ington six days warning of an
invasion by the North Koreans.
Shown the intelligence report,
Secretary Acheson said he could
not recall whether he had seen
that particular document in June,
but added that it contains no
information which I have not
known for some time, and certain
ly no information to indicate the
slightest possibility of any in
vasion." Mr.. johnson made sub
stantially the same comment.
QuizZed on CO-OperatiOn,
Mr.. Johnson's denial of any
underwriting" of Mr.. Acteson
came while Senator Ferguson was
inquiring how closely the State
Department and the Defense
Establishment cooperate in for
mulating foreign policy.
Asked If there is coordination,
so that each department knows of
any changes in foreign policy.
Secretary johnson replied:
THAT is correct. There have
been differences of opinion be-
tween Mr.. Acheson and myself
on foreign policy. They have
largely been resolved in good will
and understanding. Today the
working arrangements +. are
such that there is complete dis
cussion at the top level between
Mr.. Acheson and myself on such
matters.

on another facet of this question.
