King Asks
Owners To
Repair Bldg.
Sheetrock From
Bathroom Back OF
Laundry Nilled
7-Year-Old Boy

City Manager Dave King today
asked the owners OF the building
in which Lanny Jackson died
from falling sheet rock last week
to remove the sheetrock or to
secure it0n a more effective
manner.
Last week seven. year old Lem
ny Jackson was killed when the
Isheetrock of the bathroom back
of his fathers laundry. in poin-
ciana fell on his head. causing q
fatal brain injury.
King ordered en- investigation
| By Building Inspector Ralph
Russell.
RusselI's report stated that
an ordinary small head nail was
used in securing the heavy sheet
rock. This, ne said is insufficient.
King in a letter to one OF the
owners of the building. Attorney
Julius Stone said:
after the accident in this
business building | sent the
building INSPECTOR to the location
to thoroughly investigate the
present condition of the building.
i have his report and | am rass-
ling on to YOU his recommended
tions in which | concur and re-
quest that they be given your
serious consideration and atten-
ton.
1. THAT all sheet rock on the
ceiling of this building be re-
moved and replaced with lighter
material.
"However, If the present sheer
|rosk is renailed y0sh a largS
head nail ia inches long tthis is
standard sheet rock naill and
nails are spaced 8 inches center
to center, it is my belief that the
present sheet rock will hold in
place, Examination of parts OF
the Sheet rock that has fallen
and is loose shows that an or
binary small head nail was used
lin secsgring the sheet rock to the
ceiling joints. This nail head Is
too small and win not carry the
load. This is well proven and
can be seen. where sheet rock Is
Loose, nails remain in ceiling
jsssts having pulled through the
sheet rock.
20. A two feet by two feet
opening must be provided in the
ceiling OF each store so that en-
trance may be made possible to
the upper part Of the building.
In the past the sheet rock has
, BON pulled loose from the cell
ing when it was necessary to en-
Yer the upper part of the build
ing and afterwards il was not re-
nailed securely in place.
"It is our recommendation that
the above be complied with by
the responsible parties as soon as
possible"

Swedes Discuss China Question,

Seattle P-I.

ed sanctions, such as diplomatic,
financial and economic, probably
would be to force the Peiping Gov
eminent to make concessions en-
abling a settlement of the Korean
question and related Far Eastern
problems. If this should not be
the case, the planned sanctions
would have to be interpreted as
some kind of reprisals, unable to
bring any pressure on China but
intended to give a certain moral
satisfaction to an aroused opinion.
At the same time, the sanctions
would constitute reaction IN
deeds on the part of the U. N,
thus strengthening that organi-
zation's authority.
The Swedish Government can
very well understand that a de-
mand for some kind of moral sat
isfactiOn has been raised in this
connection, Mr.. linden asserted,
but it doubts very much that sane
tions against China would serve q
useful purpose. II the sanctions
proved ineffective as pressure,
then they would hardly contribute
toward strengthening the author
ity of the u. NJ, nor would they Of
fer the desired satisfaction. A
drawn-Out conflict with China
would also, in view of the world
tension, mean heavy burden for
the U. N. and many of its menu
Der nations.
Sweden's responsibility for what
is done in the name of the United
Nations obviously is strictly limit
ed, the Foreign Minister contin-
ued. but we cannot place the re-
sponsibility on other shoulders
when we consider the second as
pect of the matter, that is, Swe-
denis own interests. The situa-
ton must, of course, be examined
not only from international, but
also from national Swedish view
points. The Swedish Government
has arrived at the conclusion that
Sweden cannot recommend the use
of sanctions, and that our country
must decline the responsibility for
a decision that implies or opens
the way for sanctions. Beyond
that. the Government has not yet
been able to take any definite po-
sition.

no antidote. Since the beginning
of the year, all Swedish producers
have stopped making full-length
films. Reason: prohibitive operat-
ing costs. A tongue-in-cheek solu-
ton was offered in one of the
sketches of a New Years revue:
make advertising shorts. Thus,
two principals in heartrending
domestic scene could give full vent
to their emotions, secure in the
knowledge that it would all end
happily with cup of Gevalia cof-
fee.
Lastly, a delicacy dear to Swe-
dish hearts is disappearing from
the contemporary scene. The vic
tim is an old konditori standby:
heavy-cream bakelser. Pastry
makers claim that the cost of
making bakelser is higher than
the price they are permitted by
the Price Control Committee to
charge. Other items in stores are
no longer available. Pretty soon,

old days" they will be referring

lations are outside the province of
Gods law. Young people are ad-
vised to marry early, even if the
urgencies of the housing shortage
compel them to live separately for
a time. Children are not the only
purpose of marriage, which may
rightly be regarded as the institu-
tionalization of the most ennobling
intimacy between a man and a
woman. However, the use of con-
traceptives is strongly frowned up
on, except in cases where birth
control is medically indicated TO
protect the health of the woman.
Powerful Churches
When it comes to headlines, the
nonconformist churches aren't TAX
ing a back seat, either. One of the
strongest of these is the Pentecos-
tai movement, whose leader, Levi
Pethreus, was in Seattle not so
long ago. For some time now he
has built up his church to a posi-
ton where it is beginning to exert
some influence as pressure group.
At the moment, his lobbying" is
/ confined to castigation of what ne
considers evils in society, as well
/ as to defend with vigor against
hostile criticisms of faith heal
ing" as practiced in his church.
Gallup Poll
The Gallup poll has also become
a common phenomenon in Sweden.
Every few weeks people are asked
about their attitudes toward sue
cess in marriage, temperance hap-
its, etc. A recent poll concerned
the reading habits of Swedes. The
implications are somewhat startl-
ing; for example, it seems that
every third Swede never reads q
book. A royal committee is now
out in the field to find out what
wrong. A large part of the blame
may be placed on the way book

yellow journalism and bad films
