D. {. Slate SET
For kefauver

A slate Of Kefauver supporters
for election as delegates and al
ternates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention has been
drawn up by the Washington Ke-
fauver- for-P President Club.
It is being kept under wraps,
however, in the hope that some
present supporters of Adlai E..
Stevenson may switch to the
Tennessee Senator's camp.
William F. Fadler. jr., presi-
dent of the Washington Kefau-
yer club, said the list Of IL pro-
posed delegates and IL alternates
has been turned over to F. Joseph
Donohue, the Kefauver national
campaign manager. "for co-ordi-
nation"
Mr.. Fadler said Mr.. Donohue
wants to hold up announcement
OF the list until after the Mime
sofa primary on Tuesday. The
Kefauver forces expect to win
four or five of the nine Mime
sofa districts, Mr., Fadler said,
and they hope that the Senator's
showing win persuade some Of
the Stevenson supporters to
switch to Senator Kefauver.
Mr.. Donohue was described as
wanting to keep the slate open
for the possible inclusion of some
present Stevenson supporters.
But, Mr.. Fadler said, referring
to the names on the Kefauver
clubs slate, If Mr.. Donohue
wants to rub some off, he can
try it."
Asked if such a statement
meant challenge to a fight,
Mr.. Fadler laughed and insisted
it did not.
He said the club would start
on Wednesday circulating petit
tons to obtain 100 names to get
the slate on the ballot for the
party elections on May /. The
club has not Endorsed any slate
for election to the Democratic
Central Committee, he said.

lack of hot water and heat.
Last month it lost an appeal

Fatal
RandIe Blaze
Child Put Match
To Old Mattress in
Building Basement

The investigation into a $780,
900 fire that brought death to
one fireman and left 125 persons
homeless, today was closed after
ia 41a-year-old boy admitted
starting the fire with a penny
box of matches he found in the
basement of the apartment.
District Deputy Fire Marshal
Kermit R. Mullins said the child
admitted yesterday that he put q
match to a discarded mattress
in the Randle Apartments, 2525
Minnesota avenue Sc, last
Thursday.
Mr.. Mullins said the respon-
sibility for the fire really rests
with the person who left the
matches where they could be
found by the little boy.
Under Air Duct
"He didn't realize what he was
doing" said Mr.. Mullins.
The deputy fire marshal said
the mattress happened to be at
the only point in the basement
where a fire could have done so
much damage. He said the mat
tress was under an air duct that
sucked the flames through the
building.
Mr.. Mullins said a 6-year-old
boy was with the 41a-year-old
in the apartment basement and
had attempted to warn the
younger child not to touch the
match to the mattress.
The fire marshal said he re-
ceived a tip that the 6-year-old
had been playing in the base
ment. He said the boy readily
admitted this and told of his
young companion starting the
fire.
Not Held Responsible
Mr.. Mullins said both boys live
near the apartments. He said
his investigation disclosed that
neither boy had been known to
play with matches before.
District Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald today said there
would be no inquest into the
death of Pvt. Albert M. Hazel. Al,
the fireman who was fatally
stricken while fighting the blaze,
because both boys are under Z
years of age and could not be
charged in connection with the
death. Pvt. Hazel died Of car
bon monoxide poisoning and a
heart attack.

THE EXECUTIVES spent a
good part of their two days
here shutting by bus to va
rious Federal Offices to learn
about the Government.
They listened to Secretary
Weeks at Commerce explain
that his department is in
business to help business. They
went to the executive offices
and heard some presidential
aides assure them that Gov
eminent and business were
getting along fine.
On Capitol Hill they learned
that Congress is all for busi-
ness and is especially keen on
trade associations. Trade as
sociations, Congressman said,
help legislators get at the
facts.
Actually" our informant
reported, trade associations
grew out of Government. It's
a pretty new field, like public
relations.
ssIt began back in the early
days of the Roosevelt admin
istration and the NRA, when
all those regulations started
coming out. The trade people
and the professional people
found out they had to have
someone in Washington to
look after their interests, or
they'd be left out of things.
"For example, the nursery
mems representatives stepped
in one time in connection with
new postal rates. The way the
bill was written, it would have
driven the nurSerymen out of
business. Most of their trade
is by mail now, and the new
rates would have been prohib-
tive. The trade association
people got it changed"

The
Rambler
Executive Session
With Uncle Sam
By JACK JONAS

The macaroni people, the
spice traders, the textile
shrinkers, the tuna-boat men,
the milk goat producers, the
hot-dip galvanizers and the
nat glass dealers all gathered
here last week to talk about
a mutual problem-how to get
along with the Government.
The occasion was the an
nual meeting Of the American
Trade Association Executives.
'.It's sort of like bringing
Goals to Newcastle" one ex-
ecutive said. TRADE aSsocia-
lions is a big business in
Washington. ! think it's about
the fourth largest.
IT haven't counted them
lately, but / know there are
more than 1000 here, and they
must employ between $1,000
and 10000 people. The biggest
Is the Association of American
Railroads, which has about
800. Another big one is pure
1y local-the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan
Washington.
"But it's surprising how
many trade association people
over the country generally
don't know much about the
Government-where it Is and
how it operates. That's why
we get them together here in
Washington once a year to
meet with Government peo-
pie"

When disaster strikes, it sell
dom gives warning. Among the
trained groups standing ready
for the call when it comes, the
Red Cross has been a leader for
rs years, ready with help when
it is needed.
Police or f1remen may put
through the call. A Red Cross
officer is on duty "a hours a day
at District Red Cross chapter
headquarters. 2025 E street NV.
AS soon as he gets the call. he
starts the mobilization of pro-
fessional staff and volunteers.
Dan Leonard is the staff di-
rector of disaster services for the
District Red Cross. Among his
first jobs are to get information
from the scene on what will be
needed and then to start each
of the separate services assem-
bling its workers and materials.
Trained Volunteers Ready
For every staff worker there
are 113 trained volunteers. They
serve in such divisions as the
motor service, the nursing serv-
lice, production and supply. and
blood bank, shelter and the food
service.
As Information begins to come
in about the extent of the dis
aster and what is needed, the
groups are co-ordinated by tele-
phone, teletype and two-way
radio.
Washington has had no major
disasters in recent years to COM
pare with the wholesale destruc-
ton wrought by last years floods
in New England and on the West
Coast. It has had disasters,
however.
When a speeding passenger
train went of the tracks near
Odenton, Nd, last month. local
rescue squads, flremen and hos
pitfalls did most of the rescue
work. But the District Red
Cross supplied two important
Ineeds-blood for the injured and
food for rescue workers who Ia
1bored throughout the cold night.
,275 Pints Supplied
The blood. ATS pints, was sent
lin Red Cross vehicles driven by
volunteer women motor corps
men. The motor service has 167
drivers, 40 of them trained in
ambulance work for emergencies.
All are unpaid volunteers.
Food went to the scene in
other Red Cross vehicles. Can
teen workers were called from
home to prepare the food, de-
liver it and serve it. They too
are volunteers.

"WORLD WAR ii, with its
system of priorities, gave the
trade groups another boost.
The industrial furnace people,
as another example, didn't
have a representative here. AS
a result when the ALLEGATIONS
were made the furnace peo-
pie got a pretty poor shake.
"They had a good case, all
right" our executive contin-
ued. "They actually were an
essential industry. But there
was nobody here to tell the
Government about it. They
finally were forced by circum-
stances into forming an asso-
citation and getting a repre-
sentative down here. After
that everything was all right.
There are trade associa-
tions all over the country, of
course, but the biggest con-
centration is here in Wash
ington. And more are coming
in all the time. After all, this
Is where the Government is"
But there's one problem the
government can't help with
81 all.
There are three different
names, or titles, for these
trade group representatives"
the spokesman went on.
"Some call them executive
secretaries, some executive di-
rectors, and some executive
vice presidents.
1.-THE ones called executive
secretaries are jealous of the
executive directors, and the
executive directors are jealous
of the executive vice presi-
dents.
Maybe some day they'll all
be called executive vice pres
idents."

ing on las active a life as he is

Asked whether there would be
any medical limitation on the
type of campaign Mr.. Eisen-

answer that because he was not
