Sent 10 House

The State Senate, acting swiftly
in the wake of last Sundays triple
fire tragedy near Dover, on Mon
day of this week, approved and
sent to the House a bill for a
statewide IRE code.
The action was the highlight of
busy day that saw down-state
senators put the State Department
of Labor bill on ice until Thurs
day at least, vain attempts made
to maneuver the right-to-work bill
to the floor, overwhelming approx
al of limited absentee ballot
bill, and passage of a bill easing
the State Tax Departments work
load.
The fire code bill was approved
after some prodding by Gov. j.
Caleb Boggs, who sent down word
that he wanted action after the
weekend experience with fire. the
latest In a series Of fatal fires.
The fire code bill (SB-7) went
through by 1872 vote, with Sena-
tors Walter ]. Hoey (D-Milford)
and Curtis W. Steen (D-Dagsborol
in the minority. The bill wsy CO.

end of a script that lambasted
Democratic "spenders", Alcorn aim
ed some barbs at independent vot-
ers whose split tickets he compared
to crossword puzzles" He blamed
ticket-splitters for destroying the
identity of two parties"
The COP chairman illustrated
his point with the example of an
Ohio Republican who voted for u.
s. Senator Frank ]. Lausche,
Democrat, because he viewed
Lausche, a conservative. Alcorn
said he had reminded the voter that
Lausche helped organize the Sen
ate under Democratic control, and
the resulting changes put an ex-
tremeIy liberal Democrat at the
helm Of the Senate's Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee in
stead OF lone of the great conser-
vatives OF our time, John Bricker,
of Ohio. 81
"If they won't be Republicans"
Alcorn said of the ticket-sPs:fters,
I'VE might as well tell them 20 be
Democrats"
The national chairman also call
ed on Republicans to quit criticiz-
ing one another in public.
Il don't think we help the Re-
publican Party By saying unkind
things about other Republican," /,
he said. Alcorn recalled that his
father had onee advised him that
this was one Of the keystones of
political success.

all right. But don't say it out loud

Fires Cause Heavy
Loss In Milford Area
Chicken House LeveIed Near
Th0mps0nviIle; Houston Garage
Lost

Two fires within six hours and
seven miles of each other caused
total of $4,000 damage Tuesday
near Milford
Destroyed were a garage and an
automobile in Houston and a two
story poultry house on Thompson
vile Road about four miles north
east of Milford.
The garage fire damage was $9s-
600 and the poultry house bIazc
that killed 1000 eight -week-old
chicks caused $4,000 loss.
Firemen were unable to give the
exact cause of either blaze, but
they guess an electrical short cir
cult may have caused the garage
fire.
In the poultry house fire, the
Carlisle Fire Company arrived
about $50 p. m, and found the
long building enveloped in flames.
