 The entire city of 12,000 people had only seven fire hydrants. Hoses had to be run for blocks to reach the flames and often froze solid. Much of the hose supply still was iced to the street as a hangover from Mondays fire.
 The town still is trying to pick and shovel it's way out of the ice that sheathed streets after Mon days fires.
 A boiler was started up on Sec ond Ave-, Wednesday to help re- move a layer of ice created by spray from fire hoses in the Mon day blaze.
 A mound of solid ice more than three feet high surrounded a fire hydrant, preventing water from being turned off in city streets.
 The mound had to be melted with steam points, and broken by pick and shovel.

This bureau also would include

Commissioner John Russell
Young did not vote yesterday
when the Commissioners ap-
proved broad aspects of Gen.
Robinson's proposal for reorgan-
ization. .-.
A proposed White House exec
utive order that would set up the
reorganization would clarity and
possibly extend the ordinance
making power of the Board OF
Commissioners and would give the
city heads continuing power to
consolidate, create or abolish city
departments.
The Budget Bureau has called
on the Commissioners to submit a
plan under the Reorganization
Act of 1949 by December Is. The
President may submit it to Con-
gress. and it may be put into ef-
feet, unless either House disap-
proves it within 60 days.
Gen. Robinson emphasized that
his detailed proposal is not the
plan that will be sent to the Bud
get Bureau. although it would
serve to show how the government
could be built on the elements out
lined by the majority vote of the
Commissioners. Detailed agency
placement will come up later.

hue Joined with Gen. Robinson ir
the majority vote.
Mr.. Young told the department
heads he has not agreed to any
plan. although he said he believes
the District government needed
some "streamlining" and there Is
room for a great deal Of improve

Il don't think, when President
Roosevelt picked me out, he picked

Gen. Robinson explained it was
not intended that the present au-

KeyserIing Suggests
Way TO Boost Output
And Aid Economy

President Truman'S top eco
nomic adviser believes that, with
proper planning between business
and government, the present an
nual rate of increase in production
could be doubled within the next
two or three years.
Leon KeySerling, chairman of
the Council of Economic Advisers,
said a concentrated effort to ex-|
pand production could add $40
billion to our national strength
for every billion dollars" that
could be saved by what he called
traditional economies.
At the same time, Agriculture
Department officials said they ex-
pect this country to be turning
out goods and services at an an
nual rate of $3.50 billion a year
from now. The figure. computed
on the Governments fiscal year
ending June 80, compares with an
estimated 1898 billion for the cur
rent year and $3o8 billion for the
past year.
Cites "Purposeful" Planning.
Mr.. Keyserling's appeal for close
cooperation between business and
Government to realize the full
potentialities of American indus
try was made yesterday at meet
ing here of the National Plan
ming Association.
He said the planning he had in
mind was not merely a Govern
ment program but a long-range
"purposeful" policy worked out by
Government and business.
The Agriculture Departments !
$3.50 billion figure was used as al
basis for the departments 1852
farm production goals calling for
at least per cent more farm prod |
ucts than the record volume pro-
duced this year. The goals were
announced last week.
The department assumed the
Government will be spending at |
the annual rate of $94 billion next
year compared with $78 billion
this year and $50 billion last year.
$3.50 Individual Average.
1t also assumed that income left
after payment of taxes would be
about $240 billion next year
compared with 1929 billion this
year and $215 billion last. The indi-
vidual average would be. $3.50. l.
compared with an estimated $1,465
this year and 81 400 last. -
The department assumed that
food prices next year would ay-
erage about 234 per cent of the
prewar d935-1939) average, COM
pared with an indicated 228 per
cent this year and 218 last year.
That is an increase Of about 2la |.
per cent over this years food |
prices. Non-food prices were
projected at an average of I'll
per cent of the prewar average
compared with 166 per cent this
year and 1898 per cent last. That
is a projected increase of about . +
per cent over this years nom
food prices.
