Fail to Meet Requirements For Fireproofing, Smith | Tells Court."

‘+ Npmerous Federal-owned build‘ings in this area are firetraps and unsafe, Fite Marshal Clem A. Smith testified in Circuit Court yesterday.

: He was a witness in a suit brought

some requirements set up by the ¢ ative Building Council of Indiana for their building at 926 N. Pennsylvania St., which they wish to use as a skating rink. + Judge Earl R. Cox questioned Mr. Smith about other buildings*in the eity to determine if there was any riminatory action on the part .of the council in setting up certain fireproof requirements.

% Other Buildings Unsafe

Mr, Smith said there were other buildings in the city, owned by the Federal Government, that were unsafe because of lack of adequate fireproof construction. He said Federah officials had been

and that precautions should be

“We have no jurisdiction over Federal-owned buildings in the state,” he said, “and there is nothing we can do about it except suggest.” ’ Armories Cited Mr, Smith said such buildings as armories, which were not constructed to house amusements, be-

for such purposes. Judge Cox also queried the legality of the council because of its personnel. He said that according to the law, the Fire Marshal should be a'member and that he never had

been. “The hearing was resumed today.

Can’t Find Homes °

Things have changed rapidly and now the most trouble they have is finding homes, “We had to take descripfive addresses in the past few years because of the suburban boom,” she said. “Often people will call in ard give an address and we can’t find the street—let alone the house.” One of the most exciting incidents that Mrs. Maguire remembers has nothing to do with the Power & Light Co. It was several years ago when Mrs. Maguire and a friend from the office hailed a cab. | “We didn’t know anything was wrong until the two men in front—they were. nasty looking—began driving us through alleys and not even going in the right direction,” she said. . “When we said something to them about it one of them turned and growled: ‘Listen, if you don’t like our driving you can get out.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 3 (U, P.)— Old Dode Fisk, who retired 31 years ago as owner of the Dode Fisk combined shows that ruled the sawdust trail at the turn of the century, jammed every nook and tranny with his last show—his own funeral. An estimated 700 persons overflowed onto two porches and sat in the garage of a 12troom funeral lhhome yesterday to attend a funeral unique for this city. It was old Dode’s jnost spectacular one-day stand. Just as he had requested, there {vas laughter, gaiety and songs. [No tears, mo funeral solemnity, no expressions or regret. : Beside his coffin was an artificial sunflower, his favorite. Above his bier was placed a large red-and-white sign that read: “Dode’s re(quest. No crying or whispering. Laugh! Talk! Walk around and have a good time.” Most. everyone dic.

MINORITY HITS

"ATTACK ON NLRB

Healey and Murdock Say’ Charges Unfounded, Fear: Distnity in Nation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U. P).— Minority members of the House NLRB investigating committee today expressed “grave fears” that the majority’s recommendation for complete rearganization of the Labor Board might result in “disunity in a time of great peril to the country.” In a statement, Reps. Arthur D. Healey (D. Mass), and Abe Murdock (D. Utah), attacked the manner ‘in which the majority report was submitted “last Saturday; expressed belief that it did not “reflect an impartial fact-finding investigation,” and announced plans to submit a dissenting report in the near future. } The report,’ they «said, was filed without consultations with ‘the minority group and, despite earlier opposition by the minority, “no mention was even made of our known disagreement.” :

Claim Charges Unfounded Referring to the majority's recommendation for dismissal of. NLRB employees found guilty of bias and partisanship as well as {hose indicating their objection to “the American system of government,” Mr. Healey and Mr. Murdock said: “The majority report -attempts to

-|divert the. attention of the public

from the marked success which has attended the Board's efforts by wholesale castigation of its personnel, , . . Certainly national unity is scarcely furthered by indiscriminate and unfounded ‘charges that labor leaders and - responsible public officials ‘are radicals. “The majority has completely ignored the fact that the Wagner Act, as administered by the Board,

led has successfully carried . out the

principle purposes for which it was enacted ., . . the promotion of industrial peace through Ape furtherance of collective bargaining and the right of workers to self-organi-

zation, City Strike Figures +

“Any implication that the Wagner Act has impeded the defense effort is not justified by the record. On the contrary, we are of the opinion that the act has materially contributed to industrial peace.” They noted that during the first nine months of 1940, the ratio of strikes to the number of workers “is

not appreciably greater than in|}

Great Britain, although that country is at war.”

LOS ANGELES, Jan, 3 (U. P).— Faithful . followers of I Am “ascendéd” to a mountain paradise where panthers were as playful as kitchens, diamonds were so big it took a derrick to handle them, and gold nuggets weighed eight pounds. On these notes, read from the movemeht's “Bible,” the Government late yesterday rested its $3,000,000 mail fraud case against 10 leaders of I Am, Defense attorneys plead today fof directed verdicts of acquittal. ® : U. 8S. Attorney Ralph Lazarus read into the record a description of I Am’s paradise in the Royal Teton Mountains, where Guy W. Ballard, late founder of the order, made his “ascension” a year ago. “A diamond mine has been there 12,000 years and has produced diamonds so large that. it required a derrick to take them out,” he read. Another passage described the “eight-pound nuggets,” and a “love ray” with which Ballard quelled a vicious panther.. The beast became so tame, it said, that it followed at his heels, The panther was

then, looking sadly into Ballard’s ayes, fell dead.” :
