Quick-Thinkine Pastor Puzzles
Listeners, but Averts Fire Panic

A mystified congregation emp
tied a church yesterday at Falls
Church after the minister abb
rlptly interrupted his sermon
and told every one to leave.
After the $50 people. including
about 80 children, left the frame
temporary building at Arlington
boulevard and Westcott street,
they saw smoke pouring from a
shed adjoining the rear Of the
church.
But the minister of the Boule-
ward Baptist Church, the Rev.
Cecil IT. Franks and two uShers.
had acted so quickly and quietly
that the danger of panic was
averted before the congregation
knew what was going on.

The blaze caused little dam
age and no one was injured.
An unidentified man who was
in the neighbo rhood noticed the
fire about 11::40 am. He ran to
the church and quietly notified
the head usher, j. E. Crum, and
another usher. Russell Harrell.
Mr.. Harrell went outside and
began beating at the blaze with q
sack.
Mr.. Crum walked up to the
minister. who was in the middle
of his sermon. and whispered
that there was q ire behind the
church and the building should
be cleared.
Mr.. Franks, without giving any
reason, asked the congregation
to leave by the nearest door.
Falls Church f1remen put out
the blaze.

Secretary of the Interior Nc
Kay today urged Congress to
grant Hawaii immediate state
hood.
In a statement for a House
Interior subcommittee hearing,
Mr.. Mckay called for legislation
to let Hawai-, become the 49th
State on a determination by the
President that all requirements
laid down by Congress have been
met.
Even though Hawaii has a
proposed State constitution al
ready in existence he said. the
bill before the committee would
put of statehood for the terri
tory until Congress passes an
other DILL approving a constitu-
ton.
Provisions Acceptable.
Secretary Mckay said he
could see no reason for such q
requirement when the proposed
constitution has been in exist
ence for over two years. and has
received attention" He added:
$50 far as I am aware, its
provisions are fully in accord
with the essential principles Of
good government on the Amer
lean plan.
IF however, the proposed con-
stitution does contain anything
the Congress deems objection
able, then it seems to me the
time for taking corrective action
is now. not later.
ION the other hand, If there
is nothing Objectionable in the
proposed constitution-and be-
lieve there is not-then 1t seems
to me the thing to do Is to pro-
vide that Hawaii shall be
admitted into the Union upon
the basis Of a determination by
the President that all the re-
quirements prescribed by the bill
state ADMISSIONS Clted.
The Secretary noted that II
of the Is States which entered
the Union during the last 80
years were admitted on the basis
OF SUCH o PRESIDENTIAL determi-
nation authorized by Congress.

Senate Asked
To Restore Cuts
In Fund Bill
White House Letter
Urges SIS, 000for
Economic Adviser
By Robert K. Welsh

Government agency officials
asked the Senate Appropriations
Committee today to restore items
totaling millions of dollars re-
jected by the House last week
in a 1925 million supplemental
supply bill for the fiscal year
ending June 80.
One such request, backed by
letter from the White House,
was for $25 900 extra for an eco
nomic adviser to the President.
The bill, as passed by the
House. would do away with the
three-member Council of Eco
nomic Advisers and allot only
$25. 900 for a single adviser and
staff.
A letter from Sherman Adams.
chief assistant to the President.
Informed the committee that a
study is being made to determine
the exact setup for an Office Of
economic adviser. Senator Flan-
ders. Republican, of Vermont
urged the committee to make the
total appropriation $4,000 and
leave the way open for the White
House to name more than one
| adviser II the scheduled study On
recommends.
Mrs. Hobby Warns of Firings.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, the
new Federal Security admins
traitor, warned that approximate
ly 1900 employees of the Social
Security Administration would
have to be dropped between now
and June 80 unless Congress re-
stores additional funds which
the House turned down last week.
She said this would delay pay
ments to old-age assistance BEN
ef1ciarieS. She also declared
that the Office of Education
would have to lay of some en-
ployes during the next three
months unless it received all the
additional amounts rejected by
the, House for participation in
the veterans education program.
The biggest single additional
sum asked at the start Of open
hearings by the Senate commits
tee was SIS million for Federal
aid access roads. The Bureau
OF Public Roads originally asked
for $23 million. The House
slashed that to So. million.
Almost STA Billion Cut OFF.
Commerce Department off,
Gals explained that they had
told the House Appropriations
Committee last month that the
SIS million cut might be justi-
fled on the basis of further
study. A recent review, how
ever, convinced the incoming
department heads that the SIS
million is necessary for the re-
mainder of this fiscal year.
The bill passed by the House
represented a reduction of all
most $1.4 billion from total re-
quests of $2.3 billion.
Unlike the House Appropria-
lions Committee hearings early
this month, all sessions by the
Senate committee on this sup
Elemental appropriation bill will
be open. Numerous department
and agency officials waited to
testify later today. One of the
requests expected to be renewed
was for an additional $40 mill
lion for the veterans hospital
and medical program. This was
voted down by a narrow margin
in the House. ..

One-hundred and five pints of
blood were collected last Thurs
day in Noble county when the
Red Cross blood center made
its second visit to the Meth
odist church in Caldwell.
Mrs. John D. Wheeler, chair
man, said that a high percentage
of rejects was noted, there being
33 in all. There were IL watkins
and % who failed to cancel or
keep their appointments.
1t will be remembered that l48
pints were collected during the
first visit with only IA rejects.
The physician in charge of the
blood center rejected practically
all 33 donors for a high tempera-
ture. He attributed this to the
fact that Noble county was in
the flu sector.
The quota for this county was
125 pints of blood, with the over
all picture resulting in the county
remaining three pints ahead of
the quota.
