Natl. Board OF Fire
Underwriters News

The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters announced today publt-
cation of a new edition of it's "Sug-
gested Ordinance on Nursing, Con-
valescent and Old Age Homes.
The revision brings up to date the
suggested ordinance first published
by the National Board in 1945.
it is recommended for adoption
by municipalities and may also be
used as a basis for state or county
regulations.
Within the last 10 years four Of
the more tragic fires in nursing
and old age homes took the lives
Ct S8 persons.
The record, according to the Nat
iOnal Board, shows that the loss Of
life in those and many other fires
in similar homes resulted from
several causes, the most important
Of which were the use of highly
combustble fbrebOard on interio~
walls and ceilings, unenclOsed
stairs and dumbwaiters, lack of
sufficient exits, inadequate fire
separation for parts Of buildings
containing special fire hazards, and
lack Of automatic sprinkler pro-
lection.
The 1945 suggested ordinance has
been adopted in a number Of places
and a number Of states have in re-
cent years adopted regulations pro
viding for fire safety in nursing,
cOnvalescant and old age homes.
Serious fires have continued to Oc-
cur, indicating the need for their
more widespread regulation from
the standpoint of fire safety.
Some nursing, cOnvalescent and
old age homes have modern buili-
ings of fire-resistiVe construction.
but a great many existing homes
are in buildings of combustible con-
structiOn. Many Of them are in
buildings originally built for use
ss private dwellings. Large man
sion-type residences seem to pro-
vide just the facility that the man
agements think are needed for oc-
cupancies Of this kind and the com
mon availability Of such large old
residences forms a strong induce
ment to the conversion of them to
such use.

Passengers Escape
Driving Conviction
BY the Assoeioted Press

LITTLE ROCK.-It took an
Arkansas attorney generals rul-
ing to prove that you can't be
convicted of drunken driving in
the State if you aren't driving.
A 1858 law said that it was
unlawful for any person who is
under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor to drive or be in actual
control of any vehicle"
The ruling said the law could
catch any person who might
happen to be intoxicated and
who might happen to have an
automobile and the means to op-
crate it either on the highways
or elsewhere"
The law was declared uncon-

Senator Bricker, in a state
ment. said he disagreed with
Gen. Eisenhower and he added:
"He believes that the Federal
Government. merely by making a
promise to another country
should be able to clothe itself
with authority inconsistent with
the. Constitution of the United
States"
The Senator denied that his
proposal would take the United
States back to the old Articles
Of Confederation.
George Qualities Support.
Senator George. Democrat. Of
Georgia. also said he doesn't read
any such Interpretation into the
Bricker proposal, and he added
IN an interview:
II am going to vote for the
substantial parts of the Bricker
amendment. although am not
prepared to go as far as Broker
is in giving Congress the power
to regulate executive agree
ments."
There were some indications
Senator Bricker might have
difficulty getting the required
approval Of two-thirds of the
Senators voting.
Three of the original 64 Sena-
tors who Joined in offering the
Bricker proposal have died, re-
ducing his public hackers to 81.
Some of the latter are reported
wavering in their support.
The House would also have to
pass the proposal by a two

D. {. Juvenile Crime
Picture Exaggerated,
Judge CockriII Says

Juvenile Court Judge Edith
H. Cockrill last night charged
that newspapers have painted an
exaggerated picture of juvenile
crime in Washington.
Judge Cockrill said statistics
printed in the press on increased
juvenile delinquency here do not
take into account such factors
as the increase in child popula-
+ ton.
"The juvenile delinquency sit.
uation," she declared. "is some
times unrealistically pictured in
the press. The problem is per-
hapS not so. overwhelming"
Doubts Figures.
Judge Cockrill. in a talk be-
fore the Districts American
Legion Auxiliary, cited as an ex-
ample the statistics reported in
the newspapers on the rise in
youth crime in 1852 over the
previous year.
These figures, compiled by the
Washington Criminal Justice
Association from Juvenile Court
files, showed an increase of 35.6
per cent in the number of de-
linquents and COS per cent IN
cases.
Il suspect it is more nearly 10
per cent than so or IS per cent"
the Judge said.
Judge Cockrill said officials
must weigh in such factors as
increased population and changes
in police reporting to get an
accurate picture.
Delinquents i'm Minority.
The jurist emphasized she was
not trying to minimize the prob
lem of juvenile delinquency.
I'VE still cannot excuse our
selves for the number of our
children who are getting into
trouble she said.
But sometimes we overlook
the many, many boys and girls
who are not delinquents. The
delinQuents are minority-an
important minority. but never
theless a minority" .
Judge Cockrill. who was the
main speaker at a child welfare
seminar. placed the blame for
delinquency primarily in the
home.

decided to support prices until
April ! at 80 per cent.
To do this. the Government
buys butter. dried milk and
cheese, and puts it in storage.
The Government pays an aver
age of about sc cents a pound
for butter. The world market
price is about As cents.
Any large-scale American sales
would depress world prices and
hurt the major exporters such
as Denmark. the Netherlands,
Canada and New Zealand.
So far, the United States has
given away foods rather than
tried to sell them.
Nevertheless. the Government

stunned residents of this West

mourned the death of popular
51-year-old Judge Allison D
Wade, police today lodged a for
NAL murder charge against the
man who shot him dead in his
courtroom yesterday.
Judge Wade had summoned

and shoot the judge twice after

"All he tthe judge) wanted to
do was to ask Moon why he
wasn't complying with a court
order to pay his eStranged wife
$50 a week." explained Coroner
Ed Lowrey. ~
"As Moon came forward from
where he had been sitting in the
spectators section. he pulled a

coroner said. I''He took a shot at

backed away and grabbed a
chair.

Then the judge stumbled
backward down the steps on the

on the floor. Moon stood over
him and methodically shot him

bullet-riddled chase, a tire was
hit. Moon stumbled from his
auto.
I'VE jumped out of the car
with our guns drawn and when
we were about so feet away, he
put the gun to his throat and
fired" said Sergt. Charles
Naddeo.
Flees as Firing Starts.
District Attorney Myer Korn-

his coat in the courtroom and
whip out the revolver.
II started to run out of the

One of the bullets fired by
Moon narrowly missed Mrs.
Bernice Seavy. a court reporter.
She tainted and had to be
treated for shock.
At the time of the shooting
there were no policemen or other
armed officers in the courtroom
since the case was domestic

BERLIN, Jan 14.-The Big
-Four foreign ministers con-
ference bumped into a deadlock
today-l1 days before the parley
was due to start. Unable to
agree on sites in Berlin for the
parley, Allied and Russian rep
resentatives asked their home
governments what to do.
A State Department spokes-
man in Washington said the
United States did not believe
the deadlock would postpone the
conference beyond the January
Is target opening date. but there
was speculation in political cir
cles here that the Russians were
preparing to torpedo the meeting.
Despite the glum outlook.
there was TO indication of any
change in plans of United States
Secretary OF State Dulles to ar
rive here January % for pre-
conference talks with British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault. Reports from

Russians with employing mag
Cling and dilatory tactics on pro-
cedural points," but expressed
hope this would mot stand in
the way OF this very important
conference that can mean so
much to the peace of the world" {"
The Moscow radio already has
been taking pot shots at the
West in connection with the con-
ference and the Moscow press
has been serving notice that the
Soviet Union will not yield in
its views of the issues which will
confront the foreign ministers.
Western officials and COM
mentators have been just as
skeptical Of the Russian inten-
tionS.
Vests Proposals ASsaIled.
A Soviet radio commentat tor
accused the American and West
German press today of trying to
undermine the conference by in
sisting that there can ne no
question of abandoning the Eu-
ropean Defense Community
treaty setting up six-nation
European army.
The official Communist Party
newspaper Pravda denounced as
a notorious fake" Western pro-
posals for internationally super

as the first step in achieving Ger

Eisenhower Prestige
Faces Critical Test
On Bricker Proposal
sy me Assoeiosed Press

President Eisenhower's efforts
to tone down Senator Bricker's
amendment to limit treaty
making power pointed him to-
day toward "a critical test of
his strength in Congress.
The weight of political opin-
ion here seemed to be that II
Gen. Eisenhower fails to con-
vince enough @. o. p. lawmak-
ers that the Ohio Republicans S
proposal is bad. he may suffer
a defeat that would dilute his
prestige and perhaps threaten
major segments of his legisla-
tive program. Senator 'Bricker
at one time had enough support
in the Senate to put his amend
ment across.
Democrats said privately they
intend to sit out. for the time
being. the backstage battle over
Senator Bricker's proposal to
amend the Constitution to (1)
spell out that treaties should
not override domestic law and
(2) give Congress power to reg
ulate executive agreements not
submitted to the Senate for
ratification.
Not Averse to Fight.
An influential Democratic Sen
ator. who asked not to be quoted
by name. said he is not averse to
letting the Republicans cut each
other up politically on the issue.
He said it seemed obvious the
Bricker amendment had been
aimed originally at a Democratic
President and that some G. o. P
members were embarrassed now
that a Republican was in the
White House, adding:
IF Attorney General Brownell
and Secretary of State Dulles
can't keep the Republicans lined
up on the Presidents side, then
maybe we Democrats will have
to step into the breach later to
save Eisenhower and the coun-
try"
Seek Compromise.
Mr.. Brownell and Mr.. Dulles
have been negotiating with Sen
ator Bricker in an effort to get
the Ohioan to modify his
amendment. adoption of which
they contend would hamstring
the Presidents authority to deal
with other nations.
/ Senator Bricker has stuck to
his guns. aided by strong back
ing from the American Bar AS
sociation and a write-in cam
paign. Some Senators said they
are receiving as many as 200
letters a day urging approval of
his proposal.
The Bricker proposal thus ap-
parently will provide the first
test of the Presidents Capitol
Hill strength within his own
party and as well a gauge to
the amount of Democratic sup
port he might expect on some
other issues.
Refers to History.
Gen. Eisenhower told his news
conference yesterday the found
ing fathers wisely had provided
that when treaty was properly
ratified It should take precedent
over any State law. including
State constitutions. When he
deals with other nations, he said,
he must speak for one Govern
ment and not be involved in
representing 48 States.
He said he was glad to agree
that any treaty or executive
agreement that contravened the
Federal Constitution was void.
But he said he wouldn't go back
to the system under the Articles
Of Confederation - before the
Constitution was adopted-where

Presidents Strike
Vote Plan Opposed
By Senate Democrat,
By Jones Y. Newton


poSal for Government conducted
strike votes in labor disputes
seemed dead today as far as
the Senate Labor Committee
was concerned. although hear
ings will be held on the contro-
versial point.
An informal poll indicated at
least Of the 13 committee
members are opposed to the
idea regardless Of whether the
vote of workers involved in a
dispute is taken before or after
a strike. -,
Only two committee members,
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
of New Jersey, and Senator
Goldwater, Republican. Of Ari-
zona threw their support to
Gen. Eisenhower's plan at this
time.
GriSwOld Will Listen.
Senator Griswold, Republican,
OF Nebraska said that as Of the
moment he had no position in
the matter, but was ready to
listen" to arguments for and
against. Two other Senators.
Cooper, Republican, of Ken
lucky, and Upton. Republican,
OF New Hampshire, have said
nothing on the subject.
Senator Purtell. Republican, of
Connecticut said he favored
strike votes under certain cir
cumstances. but was opposed to
the plan for taking the vote
after a strike was under way.
That was provided in a bill in
troduced by Chairman Smith,
which was regarded as the ad-
n1inistration measure.
Senator Purtell said he would
introduce his own bill in a few
days to cover the strike-vote
idea. Meantime, he declined to
outline his plan.
Seven Against Plan.
The seven Sc n ators who
seemed definitely against the
Presidents proposal included a
Republican, Senator Ives of New
York and the six Democratic
committee members. Senators
Douglas Of Illinois, Murray of
Montana. Hill of Alabama, Leh.
man Of New York. Neely of West
Virginia and Kennedy of Massa-
chusettS.
The only Democrat to qualify
his opposition was Senator
Kennedy. He said he did not
regard as a major problem in
labor matters the calling out on
strike Of workers against their
win by union leaders. He said
the administration would have
to prove its case to get his sup
port. and he doubted if they
could do it. He said it was hard
to believe a union leader would
call strike without the firm
support Of his members.
AS for whether the strike vote
should be held before or after
a walkout, Gen. Eisenhower
said he was leaving that deci-
sion to Congress.
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
suggested in a speech in New
York last night that there should
be more extended debate and
analysis" OF the controversial
proposal.
The President. at, his news
conference yesterday refused to
saf whether he regarded as

Act. 4.

requests and other things neces-
