LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Brit
ish Overseas Airways Corp.
grounded all 10 of it's Boeing
Stratocruisers in the North At
lantic service yesterday-includ-
ing one Prime Minister Churchill
would have used today on a hop
from the Caribbean to New York.
A BOAC spokesman said en-
gine defects had been discovered
in some of the big planes during
ground warmups and it was de-
cided to ground all for a precau-
tionary checkup.
Pan American World Always

er airlineS using Stratocruisers,
said in New York they did not
plan to ground their fleets.
In Seattle, a Boeing spokesman
said his firm had received no re-
port from BOAC on the "de-
fects." He noted that the $500
horsepower engines have been in
service about four years. They
are built by Pratt & Whitney Of
East Hartford, Conn.
He said none Of the three other
major airlines flying Strato-
cruisers has reported engine
trouble. He added that the en-
gines have been used on many
military aircraft, including the
Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter. for
four years.

The Democratic National Com

At the same time, former Pres

The criticism, along with ar

Both Mr.. Truman, who has re-

/ Cottage City Blaze
Kills Man, Roufs 4,
Including 3 Children

A man died In a fire early
today in his Cottage City, Md,
apartment at 4306 Bladensburg
road. Another man and three
children in an apartment across
the hall were forced outdoors,
by the blaze.
The victim was identified as
Clyde Harrison, SO, a painter.
He repeatedly lived alone in the
two-roon1 apartment over the
Old Liners Restaurant. 2 n1
The neighbor. Harry Robertf
son. 33, and his children, Harry,
IL: Anita. 10. and Linda. z, were
not injured. The children were
taken to Prince Georges Generai
Hospital. where relatives called
for them. Mrs. Robertson was
not at home. Chief T. w. Scott
of the Cottage City Fire De-
partment said she was at work
when the fire started.
Chief Scott said the cause of
the fire hasn't been determined,
but that it may have been
started by a cigarette or by a
short circuit in a light fixture in
the restaurant. Flames burned
through the floor between Mr..
Harrison's apartment and the
restaurant, he said, and the res.
taurant was considerably dam
aged by water.
Firemen from Mount Rainier,
BladenSburg. HyattSville and
Tuxedo also fought the blaze.
Chief Scott said the fire wasn't
big enough to require all those
companies but that several de-
partments had been on another
call nearby. and pitched in to
help his men.
The body was removed to
Gasch's funeral home in Hyatts-

Woman Hurt as Rope
Breaks in Rescue
Effort During Fire

A 28-year-old mother was In
jured slightly early today when
a rope broke as she was being
lowered from the second floor
Of a smoke filled apartment
house at 25l8 Tunlaw road NV.
She was Mrs. Eileen Gotobed,
wife Of Kenneth S. Gotobed, %,
a Woodward & Lothrop em-
ploye and George Washington
University law student. who was
attempting to lower her out the
window so she could assist in
the rescue Of their 11-month-
old son.
Dense smoke poured through
the 12-family apartment house
from what firemen said was al
smoldering mattress in the
apartment Of Eugene R. john

When smoke awakened the
Gotobeds, he opened the hall

by smoke.
In order, to have some one to
help lower the baby. Mr.. Goto-
bed tied a double length of
clothes line about his wife and
started to lower her to the
ground when the rope parted.

were below the Gotobed window
and helped the wife.

Rhode Island, at one point COM
mented that he considered sabo-
tage IAN incredible explanation. ~
But. Senator Capehart. Repub-
lican, Of Indiana, after question
ing witnesses closely on the
braking systems of trains. said
the testimony indicated to him
that someone who "knew his
business" tampered with the
brake system on the wrecked
train.
The air brake system on a
train basically is such that. when
the air is released, the brakes are
applied. Air pressure holds the
brake shoes off the wheel until
the air is released.
Angle Cock Vital Unit.
At the ends Of each car on a
train is a device known as an
angle cock. When this valve
is closed. it cuts that car
and all behind it to the end of
the train out of the brake sys-
tenn.
The angle cock, in a closed
position. does not release the
air from the brake system.
Therefore. an angle cock could
be closed on the first car after
the engine, for example, and the
brakes would not catch. The
closing of the angle cock would
make it impossible for the en-
gineer to apply the brakes en-
the train.
The angle cock is there so
cars on the train can be shifted
without losing air pressure, built
up in the cars brake system.
Thus, If the angle cock on the
first car in the Inflated Federal
Limited had been closed in Bal
timore by some one, the engi-
neer would not have had brakes
for the train-except for his en-
gine brakes.
Examination Of the wreckage
of the Federal Limited after it
crashed through the concourse
Of Union Station revealed that
the angle cock was closed COM
pletely on the first car and par
TALLY on the third. There is the
possibility that this was done
by the force Of the wreck.

Planners. Attack Bill
To Abolish Agency

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commis-
sion has attacked the Montgom-
cry County Councils proposal to
abolish the commission. The
planners said the General As
sembly bill is "just another par
tisan maneuver like the ones the
legislature has been rejecting for
six years.
The measure would let the
county council set up its own
planning agency.
It also would automatically
settle the dispute between the
council and the commission over
title to valuable tract behind
the Silver Spring armory.
j. Bond Smith, the commits
sion's general counsel, issued a
statement yesterday saying sin
that aspect, it is at least a unique
method of disposing of litigation
by abolishing the other party to
the suit, and thus preventing a
decision by the highest court on
the merits" .:
Noting that the commission
wasn't given a chance to study
the. bill, Mr.. Smiths statement
added that "a cursory examina-
ton appears to indicate that it
is substantially identical with
similar ripper legislation intro
,duced for partisan purposes at
preceding sessions Of the legisla-
ture and uniformly rejected by
the General Assembly after
hearings on the merits"

tions In the General Assembly

McKeIdin Warns
Against Intolerance
Toward Alcoholics

Intolerance toward alcoholics
is another form Of intemper-
ance." Gov. McKeldin Of Mary
land declared last night.
An abstainer himself, he was
the principal speaker at a con-
vention session Of the American
Temperance Society in Consti-
tuition Hall. The convention runs
through Tuesday.
Coz. McKeldin pointed out
that Another form Of intemper-
ance is the intolerance which
often is practiced toward the
unfortunate victim Of the disease
Of alcoholism"
Sees intolerance on Decline.
Fortunately" he added, "this
intemperate intolerance is de-
creaSing with the advance Of our
knowledge of this human all
merlt, which brings so much
misery and heartbreak to indi-
viduals, families and commune
ties. and which has become q
major problem Of the States and
the Nation.
"The responsibility which
those weakening and sometimes
destructive human frailties place
upon our people must be shared
by each of us-for each is his
brothers keeper"
Gov. McKeldin said the State
of Maryland recognized alco-
holism as a disease and a threat
to the health of the State" and
has appropriated $4,000 this
year for a study Of prevention
methods.
Gov. McKeldin recalled that
after his Inauguration he placed
the ban on drinking in the ex-
ecutive mansion.
I was most pleased with the
temperate acceptance Of this rule
by the people Of Maryland" he
added.
He said he received thousands
Of kilograms and letters lauding
his stand. and that the single
protest received was ''in a clearly
humorous vein." He added:
II deserve no special credit for
temperance in the use of alcohol.
because I have followed the ad-
vice which I have given to many
others. I never have permitted
myself that first drink"
Gov. McKeldin listed as other
harmful excesses" the "com-
mon fault of food gluttony."
In his speech. he also con-
demned greed for power and the
spreading of scandal and SLAM
der, as well as intolerance. .r
Raps Cocktail Parties.

w. A. Scharffenberg, executive
secretary Of the society. He said
too many Government decisions

least curtails. the cocktail parties.
