Never Relax Diligence Against Fire Dangers

What can a parent do to make sure that his or her child is attending a fire-safe school? As result of the Chicago holocaust, this question was put to the general manager of the National Fire Protection Assn., a non-profit fire safety organisation. \ By PERCY BUGBEE Written For UPI BOSTON (UPD—We can turn the tragedy of the Chicago school fire into a gain for all humanity if we take its lessons to heart. First and foremost, we must never relax our vigilance against the dangers of fire. One careless act, one negligent oversight, can destroy the effectiveness of all the fire protective measures and devices which have been engineered into a building. Fir doors that are blocked can’t seal off fires from people in the building. Obstructed stairways and corridors can’t serve as fast avenues bf escape. Automatic sprinklers that are turned off. alarm systems that aren’t properly maintained are hazards rather than helps. Yet we find these things all too often in the fire records. Principal causes of fires in school buildings are: —Defective or overloaded electrical wiring or defective motors or other electrical appliances. —Defective heating and cooking equipment. Closed Stairways Essential —Careless smoking and ha ndling of matches. Most school fires start in classrooms, unused spaces such as attics, furnace rooms, storage areas and auditoriums. Anyone interested in checking the schools in his or her community to see just how fire-safe they are should look for these things: —Open stairways form free vertical paths for fire and smoke, contributing to the quick destruction of the building and endangering the lives of occupants. School stairways should be enclosed in strong partitions. —Fire exit drills in all schools are essential for orderly escape from, the building. —Automatic sprinklers are the most effective of any of the various safeguards against loss of life by fire. —A standard automatic fire detection system provides prompt notification of fire. Spreads Inside Walls —Fire spreads rapidly inside walls and partitions. To prevent this spread, such spaces must be stopped off by inserting boards or by filling the channels with concrete, bricks or mortar. i —Flammable decorations are a • frequent cause of school fires. 'These should be made of nonflammable materials. —Accumulations of combustible rubbish, paints or flammable liquids must be properly handled —Central “heating plants and G R«n> Bterly Attornev ESTATE NO. 5:112 NOTH ETO Al,I, I’EHMINS INTEHEsTEH IN TUB ESTATW OF HENIO W.

Find Evidence Os Rackets In Coin Machines Preliminary Look At Juke Box Field Points To Rackets WASHINGTON (UPD- Senate hearings in the next few weeks may expose some juke box rackets that are worse than the rock-and-roll variety. • This was the outlook today after a preliminary look into the juke box field by the Senate Rackets Committee. 1 Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy told newsmen that Thursday’s hearing only scratched the surface of the record his investigators have compiled on the subject. He said they have found evidence which, includes; —Underworld influence in both labor and management groups in the coin machine business. —Use of unions by juke' bo* operators to keep down corrfpttition. —Outbreaks of violence such as the wrecking of equipment. -Inter-union feuds which saw rival labor groups picketing each other. The committee plans to hold another brief hearing next Monday or Tuesday to question Joseph Blumetti, a Youngstown, Ohio, Teamster official. But the main investigation may be delayed until next month. Blumetti had been scheduled to testify Thursday, but an unexplained mix-up prevented him from appearing. The only witness was Frank Catrtmarata, a Veteran midwestern hoodlum who gave the committee the silent treatment. Whenever he was asked a question, Cammarata mumbled something about “incriminal.” Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) finally established that he was invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid possible self-inCrimination. Kennedy suggested that the Scilian-born ex-convict, who is soon to leave the country at the request of the U.S. immigration I Service, was faking his Latin accent. But whatever, his linguistic ability may have been, Cammarata wasn’t talking. According to committee investigator Arthur Kaplan, Cammarata went to the aid of a Detroit juke box distributor who was having trouble with a Teamster-backed rival in 1950.
