Rockville Blaze
Which Wrecked
liant IsProbed
PinboII Machines
F.. And Equipment Lost
In Red Boil Fire

An investigation was under way
today to determine the cause of
a general alarm fire, which last
night completely burned out the
plant of the Red Ball Manufactur-
ing Co, on Route 240. just within
the Rockville CMd). city limits.
Charles Howe, jr., fire marshal
of Montgomery County, said dam
age would amount to about $75 900,
including machinery and pinball
machines which the firm manu-
factured. The company was said
to be insured.
He said the cause of the blaze,
which started in the rear of the
plant. might have been a short
circuit in electric wiring or the
dropping Of a cigarette.
Bill Cruckshank, a volunteer
fireman TO the Rockville depart
ment, was the only person re-
ported to have been treated for
smoke inhalation. He was taken
to his home in the Gaithersburg
Fire Department ambulance.
Flames Is Feet High.
Bill Burrows, also of the Rock
willie department, which arrived
first. said the flames were reach
ing a height of more than Is feet,
as the one-story wood-and-slat
plant was enveloped throughout
its total length of 400 feet and
its width of 100 feet. Black smoke
covered the immediate area.
The first of 20 pieces of appa-
ratus was dispatched to the scene
at about 7:43 pm. The blaze was
fully under control by about $3.50
and completely extinguished by
10 pm.
Quick work by the firemen in
wetting down stacks of lumber
in the adjacent Dickerson Lumber
Co., and also the north wall of
the nearby Rockville Ice Co., pre-
vented the blaze from spreading
to these properties. which were
undamaged. 4
AS the flames died away the
forwards part of the plant was
seen to be nothing but a charred
shell. containing a tangle mass of
wreckage. ruined machinery, saws
and planers and pinball machines.
The rear and larger portion of the
plant had burned down CON-
pletely.
Long Hose Necessary.
The firemen had some difficulty
with water supply, because the
nearest fire hydrant was about
$500 feet from the scene. An
other hose was connected to a
hydrant at the Richard Montgom-
cry High School, about a quarter
of a mile away.
The property occupied by the
manufacturing company and the
two other firms is owned by Con-
stantine Eisinger, 4736 Bethesda
avenue, Bethesda.
The Rockville Volunteer Fire
Department was getting ready for
a meeting in its t1rehouse when
the alarm was sounded. Several
other companies that responded
were at Sandy Spring, Md, where
a parade was inaugurating a fire.

Firemen said employees had left
the plant about pm, for supper,
and were advised of the fire while
eating.
Several hundred persons were
attracted by the flames and county
police were summoned to control
traffic on Route 240.

When the Republicans start
demonstrating how they intend to
interpret these ballot box verdicts
the result may be a cleavage on
tissues nearly as sharp as the split
between administration and
Southern Democrats.
Senator Taft, never reticent
about expressing his views on any
question, is expected to outline his
future plans at news conference
here tomorrow.
t Unless all signs fail, Senator
Taft will regard his reelection by
a whopping margin of more than
100000 votes in Ohio, as a direc-

Ivigor than he has in the past
what he calls a middle e-of-the-
road course.
Taft Is Strong Figure for 1852.
In international affairs that
adds up to critical examination
and often open opposition-to
many of the proposals made by
the Truman administration. For
instance, Senator Taft fought the
Atlantic Pact and voted againsN

On the other hand, he said al

the Monroe Doctrine to Europe

called socialistic.

Division of Leadership Opinions
May Split G. O. P. in Congress

| Taft's friends regard Gov. Warren
las a "me-too" type of Republican
who goes along with too many
Democratic proposals in domestic
and foreign affairs.
Gov. Warren can't influence
Congress and that's where the Re-
publican national record of the
next two years will be written. But
| If that record looks like political
liability when nominating conven-
tion time arrives in June of 1852,
Gov. Warren won't have to carry
that load.
Gov. Dewey's victory In New
York gives him control again of
the biggest block of votes in the
1852 convention.
With two unsuccessful tries for
the Presidency under his belt
Gov. Dewey has indicated he will
be working to put over Gen. Els
enhower as the top COP nomi-
nee in 1852. But whether regular
Republicans would accept an out
slider like Gen. Eisenhower may
depend on the condition Of the
party's fortunes a few months
before the election.
Gov. Dewey and Senator Taft
don't agree on a lot of issues.
While Gov. Dewey can't have
much effect on congressional de-
cisions, Gov. Duff will be on hand
to cast his vote in the Senate.
Gov. Duff whipped the "old
guard" Republican organization
in Pennsylvania to win the Sena-
torial nomination. Then he beat
Senator Myers, the assistant
Democratic leader. in last Tues
DAYS voting.
Gov. Duff has been saying for
long time that the Republicans
need progressive program. He
has called for a party shakeup.
Thus he is likely to line upI
in the Senate with Republicans
who have split with Senator Taft
over some major issues in the
past. This group remains in the
minority among the Republicans,
despite the reelection of such
members as Senators Aiken of
Vermont. Morse Of Oregon and
Tobey OF New Hampshire.

JerseyCityS Shift

For Attendance Drop
By the Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Dec.
6.-Transfer Of the Jersey City
International League franchise to
Ottawa today brings the radio
television threat into sharp focus
as the minors began their fight
for survival"
President George Trautman, in
his annual report to the National
Association Of Minor Leagues,
warned that both the majors and
the minors are at the crossroads"
"Unrestrained broadcast and
telecast of major league games
from stations located in minor
league territory has contributed
much more to the decline of at
tendance than all other factors
combined" Trautman said. More
than 1000 stations located from
coast to coast engaged In 1850
In broadcasting major league
games"
Trautman cited other factors
that contributed to the 10 per
cent attendance drop In his speech
to the delegates from 81 leagues
at the opening business session of
the convention. He acknowledged
that some decrease in the turn
stile count could be blamed on
poor weather conditions, fewer
recreational dollars and unsettled
international condition.
Says Minors Can't Survive.
THE question is simply this"
Irautman said. Can minor league
baseball survive in daily competi-
ton with the top performers Of
the profession? The answer, in
my opinion, Is mo-
Il feel there must be some
modification Of the present radio
and television regulations If minor
league baseball is to live. The
big brother must realize he has
a superior appeal which can ruin
the little fellow. We must take
every step open to US toward q
solution Of the vexing problem.
In a larger sense, it is not
minor league baseball alone which
stands to fall. But. because of the
dependence Of the majors upon
the minors for the DEVELOPMENT
OF players. both the majors and
the minors are at the crossroads. !"
