Damage In Garage
Fire Here Friday
Workman Burned In
Accidental Use Of
Gasoline For Water

A London man was burned
about the face, one shoulder and
hands Friday afternoon, when a
can of gasoline mistaken for
water was accidentally poured on
hot metal at Dan Hunters gar
age, West Center street, causing
a fire which all but destroyed the
building. The total loss was rough
ly estimated around $1,000, partly
covered by insurance.
Burned when the gasoline igni-
ted was Paul Jenkins, who had
been working at the garage with
Mr.. Hunter.
Two London fire trucks were
summoned to fight the fire which
threatened for time to get out of
control. F'iremen were handi-
capped on getting water into the
building because of live power
wire. Heavy smoke also made the
fire-fighting more difficult as it
billowed from all sides cf the
small frame building.
Fire Chief Dilwyn Andrews in
dicated that the live wire was
serious threat to the firemen in
combating the flames.
The building was entirely gut
ted by the fire by the time it
was extinguished.
Paul Dwyer, owner of the
building. leased to Ray Weese,
stated that the damage to the
building, amounted to probably
$500 and that remainder of the
estimate was on the contents.

Goldman AssaiIs
Browns Stand

In a speech Saturday night
July 8, before an organization
meeting of Seventh Ward
Goldman for Congress Committee
in Springfield, Ben j. Goldman,
Springfield attorney and Demo-
cratic candidate for Represen-
tative to Congress assailed the
stand of his opponent Congress
man Clarence ]. Brown on In
ternational issues particularly
with regard to Korea.
Goldman declared, THE daily
headlines are reminding the
American people of a lesson most
of Us learned long ago-that our
national security is involved in
what is happening to the other
peoples of the world. including
the people of Asia and that a
threat to the independence of 81
million Koreans is threat to our
own freedom and independence
On January 19, of this year.
the matter of so million dollars
of aid to Korea was before Con-
gress. Mr.. Brown was against it.
He voted to recomrnit the bill,
move which failed by four votes.
He then voted against the pass
age of the bill itself and it was
defeated by margin of one vote.
February 9, three weeks later,
the aid measure came before Con-
gress again and this time the
House reversed itself and with
Republicans joining Democrats
the Korean Aid Bill finally passed
by a vote of 24o to 134, but
although others changed their
mind, Congressman Clarence ].
Brown had not and still voted
against the bill.
For by voting as he did Mr..
Brown was merely being consis-
tent. He displayed here the same
kind of blind partisanship and
bitter isolationism which has
characterized his attitude on In
ternational-issues ever since he
first became a member of Con-
gress. Thus, before World War
III he opposed fortification of
Guam, he voted to cut appropri-
ations for our Military Aircraft
program, he opposed the extern
sion of the draft up to threa
months before Pearl Harbor, he
opposed Lend Lease ard now
since the war he has opposed the
program of aid to Greece and
Turkey, a program which has kept
that vital part of the world out
of Communist hands, he voted
against Military assistance to
our allies and friends abroad and
besides voting against aid to
Korea he was opposed to Marshall
Plan funds which was passed by
an overwhelming vote of 2S7 to
86, with Congressman Brown
among the die-hard Sc, deserted
here also by most of his Rep
ublican colleagues.

neighbors for his safety. occording

Mr.. Baillie scorned warnings of

but it has grown slowly but
steadily, more and more women
becoming interested in the work.
So many of the small things
around the hospital that patients
and visitors admire and appre-
ciate have been brought about by
the concentrated work of this
auxiliary. There is hardly a per-
