“Beautiful Isle.” No leaf stirred. Finally the reeord came to a close and fhe music ceased. The body of Maj. Lemuel Edward Day, of Chicago; the most beloved surgeon of the American forces battling in the bitter mud of Papua, was lowered with all care into his grave. There was no flag to caver him, nor bugler to sound taps. This is a deadly war going on here and mili-

On Runways,

CHICAGO, Jan. 8 (U. P) Six persons burned to death and scores suffered shock and minor injuries early today in a panigpstricken ate tempt to escape through doors ‘and “exits from a fire that destroyed a crowded recreation parlor in the fashionable Beverly Hills

| district.

Pive persons were in a critical condition out of the 100 or more burned, The bodies of five men were found at 4:30 a. m. in the ruins of a washroom where firemen believed they had rushed in a mis-| taken attempt to find protection from the blaze. Firemen found the body of janitor Joseph Eiingham in the basement. : Firemen, answering the 5-11 and a special alarm, battled the flames for five hours before it was safe enough to enter the brick shell that was all that remained*of the popular recreation resort.

tary appurtenances like flags and bugles are still far away. But the staff of his small and much-bombed field hospital felt that they had to do something for “Pop” as they called him. So, after the Baptist chaplain read the funeral service, they wound up Pop's old gramophone which had been played to cheer them up in the grass-roofed hospital's hardest times, put on his favorite “Beautiful Isle” and played that. It was something extra because, although sacrifice is the law of medicine, few give their lives as Pop Day gave his. “Pop gave his life to the Papuan campaign just as certainly as any soldier who falls fighting his way across the swamp,” said Capt.

Identify All Bodies

The charred bodies in the washroom were identified as those of cago policeman; Thomas Podgamek, Carl Deddo, Anthony Erris and Philip Gardner, : The fire broke out shortly before midnight while between 200 to 300 men and women crowded the bowling alleys, restaurant and cocktail lounge housed in the onestory, modern-style, brick building. Witnesses said the fire started at the back of the bowling alleys and made itself evident by a thin trickle of smoke that spread across the 20 alleys. The crowd watched the smoke with curiosity until the heat struck the shellac on the highly-polished wooden alleys causing an explosion. Panic followed. Many persons rushed to the large combination men’s and women’s lounge at the front of the building, fire department. The first firemen to arrive were told about those trapped in the lounge. The firemen broke through the windows and glass doors and rescued those trapped.

ARGENTINA TO GIVE REPLY ON NIEBUHR

BUENOS AIRES, Jan, 6 (U. P.) —The government soon will publish its reply to the German refusal to waive the diplomatic immunity of Capt. Dietrich Niebuhr, the German naval attache, who has been connected with an espionage ring, it was understood today. The Germans were said to have refused on the ground that the accusation against Niebuhr was made by a belligerent, the United -States. Argentina had wanted his diplomatic immunity waived so he could be tried by the courts in this coun~

try. Niebuhr probably will be declared persona non grata and the Germans will have to recall him.

All Must Qualify .

As a result, more than 90 per cent of the old juvenile court stat built up by former Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, Democrat, will be retained indefinitely, Judge Rhoads said. “I haven’t even replaced the clerical emplayees,” he said, “I'll leave the staff as it is until such time as. better qualified workers are found for specific jobs.” - In attempting to reorganize the probation staff of investigators, Judge Rhoads found that there were no eligible applicants other than those already on the job. Under the juvenile court law, probation workers must-flalify under examinations prescribed by the state probation department. The eligible list is all but exhausted.

thought they were doing a fremern=

dous job in past rationing, will find a monumental task confronting them in what Mr. Taggart terms “the biggest mass rationing job #0 far.” “Every man, woman and child in Marion county is affected. Everyone is entitled to a book,” Mr. Taggart said. But these new books must oe “tailored.” The workers will have to be drilled on the meaning and value of points, for when excess stocks are declared, boards will have to take the necessary coupons out of the books before they are issued. But this time there will be assistance from the government. Since the storm crackled about

the ears of Washington bureaucracy regarding the failure of rationing, particularly evidenced by the fuel

oil situation, the heads of OPA have changed their tone, according to the

communications received by local

boards.

Now they are willing to let local

boards have latitude and make conf mon sense decisions. They ask for © voluntary co-operation now ‘instead of arbitrarily setting down a rule and demanding that it be kept at all cost.
