GaIax Plant DESTROYED
In 81 Million Blaze
BY the Assoeioted Press


GALAX, Va, Feb. 28.-Fire that
raced through the sprawling plant
of the Vaughan-Ba Bassett Furniture
Co. here late yesterday afternoon
caused damage estimated at nearly
81 million.
Cause of the blaze was still un-
determined today.
The fire started in a third-story
passageway that bridged East
Oldtown street between two Sec
tions of the plant.
c. w. Higgins, vice president and
general manager, said workmen
were working in the passageway
on installation of a 100000 con-
veyor system which was destroyed
in the blaze.
Mr.. Higgins made the 81 million
damage estimate today. Last night
B. c. Vaughan, president of the
company, had estimated the loss
at 81 million.
Jim Holderfield received a minor
hand injury when he was removed
from a third-story window. Sew
eral of the approximately 125 per-
sons at work in the plant at the
time of the blaze had to be re-
moved from upper windows by
| firemen.
The plant manufactures bed
room furniture and Higgins esti-
mates that about 100000 worth
of finished furniture went up In
the fire. A full stock of lumber
was on hand but the majority oi
the material in the yard was saved
The plant ordinarily employed
about 275 persons but most de-
partments were closed for the in.

Foreign Policy
Continued From First Page.)

Europe is a foregone conclusion.
The main controversy is likely to
be over how far the Senate should
go In expressing what should be
the American contribution toward
the international army being de-
veloped under Gen. Eisenhower.
Administration leaders will try to
hold the resolution to a general
definition of the American con-
tingent as fair share"
Republicans who agree with
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
are expected to make a floor fight
for more definite limitation on
the number.
Optimistic Picture.
Gen. Clay gave the Senators an
optimistic picture of the present
willingness of the people of Europe
to join in building up a mutual
defense force today. The gen.
eral said there has been a marked
change in the morale of Western
Europe since 1947. At that time
the general said he himself felt
there was no will, except in Brit
ain. to rearm for defense. Today
there is rebirth of the fighting
spirit, particularly among the
French people, he said.
Sending four American divisions
now will stimulate that spirit, the
general testified, but he pleaded
with Congress not to tie limita-
tions to it.
Senator Morse, Republican. Of
Oregon said he was disappointed
that the administration specified
only four divisions and thought
1t should have been left at *
divisions" in the event that future
developments should make it
advisable to send more.
Senator Morse then asked Gen.
Clay whether the four, plus the
two divisions already in Germany
and the forces presently available
to the other Allies, would be suffi-
cient to prevent Russian march
across Western Europe.
Gen. Clay replied that these forces
would serve notice on Russia that
she could not move the troops she
now has available for use in West
ern Europe. He emphasized the i'm
portance of considering how Russia S
army is deployed at present. The
general agreed that if there should
be a renassing of the Russian
Army to mobilize more troops than
she now has on Western Europe's
border, then it would be timely to
talk about raising additional troops
here or in Europe"
The joint committee is consid-
ering resolution by Senate Re-
publican Leader Wherry of Ne
braska, opposing the sending of
United States troops to Europe I'M
til Congress has fixed policy.
Will Bide Their Time.

to either overestimate or under

Special Dispotch TO The Stor

LEESBURG, Va, Feb. 28.-The
State Board of Welfare and In
stitutions has granted a 60-day
extension to its recent order to
close the Loudoun County Jail on
March l because it does not meet
the minimum requirements for
construction or operation.
A letter granting the extension
was received yesterday by Sheriff
S. Paul Alexander from Richard
Copeland, director of the Depart
ment of Welfare and Institutions.
The State Board requests a re-
port for review at its meeting in

estimate the Russian threat to1
Western Europe.

estimate the Russian threat to
Western Europe.
Gen. Clay said the Russians
will start a war when they feel
they are ready, and not before.
If we move rapidly and col
lectively, they may never be ready
under their concept of readiness.
with odds so heavily in their IA
vor as to assure success"
BY developing forces which will
make aggression seem unprofit-
able" Gen. Clay continued, then
we have every reason to hope for
the stability which will bring
peace, even if that peace is an
armed truce over the years.
Sees Europe Doing Its Part.
Senator Connally told reporters
he thinks Europe has done "as
much as we have" toward provid-
ing manpower.
We haven't sent single soldier
over there except Gen. Eisen-
hover" the Texas Democrat said.
I'VE are in the North Atlantic
treaty just as much as the Eu-
ropean nations are. I confidently
believe if we send some troops
over there and keep on building
up our Air Force, that Russia will
not attack"
Mr.. Hoover drew the largest
crowd since the hearings began
and they applauded three tines
during his testimony in the big
marble caucus room of the Senate
Office Building.
The first demonstration came
at the end of his prepared state
ment. when he asked. Are we
going to embark on Operation
Land War in Europe?"
Estimates of Strength.
Mr.. Hoover said his information
is that if this country sends four
more divisions to join the two
already in Germany, Gen. Eisen-
hover still would have an army
of only 19 divisions for the inlme-
diate future.
He argued that. after two years
the Europeans are not likely TO
have more than 40 divisions un-
less they expand their present
plans, and at that, time the U.lited
States would not be able to put
in more than 10 divisions on the
basis Of present manpower goals.
This would give Gen. Eisenhower
so divisions by 1858, but the for
mer Republican President insisted
Western Europe cannot be de-
Tended successfully with less than
100 to 125 divisions. With a
smaller force than that, he said,
there is the utmost jeopardy Of
involving the United States in a
full-sized land war in Europe
against these overwhelming odds. "
He previously had given Russian
strength as ITS divisions, not
counting satellite forces.
