State Urges Inspections To Prevent Hartford Tragedy in Indiana.

As a result of the circus fire disaster at Hartford, Conn. State Fire Marshal Clem ‘Smith today moved to set up a more complete fire supervision for all tented shows operating in Indiana:

fire chiefs asking them to assign a member of their department to be on duty at each performance.

paid to the maintenance of adequate exit facilities,” Mr. Smith told the chiefs. “Chief hazards inherent to this type of show are defective electric wiring and electrical equipment and the careless use and storage of flammable liquids.”

Warns of Crowds

“Smoking in tented areas where there may be crowds assembled should be prohibited. In no case should the use of straw, baled or

_{otherwise, be permitted for use and

seating facilities overcrowding by the sale of tickets in excess of capacity should be strictly forbidden.” All tent shows operating in the state are required to have class C permits from the state fire department for which an inspection fee of $5 is charged. When the department receives notice that such shows are scheduled, inspectors are assigned to make a preliminary. inspection but in most cases it is impossible for the inspector to remain at the show's scene, during the show's run, Mr. Smith said. He asked the fire chiefs to notify the state department when tented shows are scheduled in their communities and to telephone the department collect if the show operators fail to comply with the law. Penalty for operating without a class C permit is a fine up to $500 and a jail sentence up to 90 days.

WAR ANALYSIS—

. ‘By LUDWELL DENNY 2 Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 10.—British capture of Caen has broken #& dangerous stalemate in the battle of Normandy. Caen was scheduled for capture a month ago. The British took part of it on D-day, but had to retreat quickly. The enemy then succeeded in holding up the British advance for 33 days.

It is no secret that allied victory depends on slash~ ing, rapid advances, and that

where attrition is heavy. In this case the Nazis achieved a Sem porary stalema Mr. Denny i thout calling out their major strategic reserves. That makes the allies’ task ahead all the more difficult. What went wrong with Montgomery’s plans probably will remain a mystery until after the war. Some of the experts are suggesting that "his famous supercaution may have tricked him into a slower and, in the end, more costly operation ' than . necessary. This criticism strikes us as premature, Bad weather may have accounted for most of the Caen stalemate. Many of those 33 days were such

supplies on the beaches to build up his . forces, and could not use his great air superiority to turn the balance, Apparently during the past two weeks he has had infantry and artillery superiority amounting to a 4-to-1 advantage in fire power. Whether he was or was not slow to use it, he has taken advantage of it fully in this successful twoday offensive. z

Caen's Fall, After 33 Days, Breaks Costly Stalemate

seems to us premature is that much depends on the next big blow by the allies. The German general staff still does not know whether ‘Bisenhower will put all his eggs in the Normandy basket, or whether he soon will make other landings in the region of Le Havre or Brest or even in Belgium or Holland. Events may prove that the Caen delay was due less to Montgomery's over-caution than to the Germans’ refusal to be caught off balance by drawing their main reserves toward Normandy, which in turn delayed an Eisenhower invasion elsewhere. Whatever the explanation, it must be admitted that little was achieved by the allies in the period between the fall of Cherbourg and that of Caen, compared with the miraculous first period of the invasion. Three or four more Caen clinches would carry us close to the fall stalemate for which the Germans are fighting. Every week counts now,

SHARE-THE-RAILROAD RULES, for this Invasion Summer:

Cancel Promptly! —1It takes but a minute to cancel your reservations the minute your plans change. Don’t waste the space you won't be using. Give someone else enough time to get it. :

Don’t Shop! —Holding onto a reservation while you “shop” for one you like better ties up space needlessly. It ako adds to the serious wartime overload on railroad reservation telephones.

‘Share Rooms !— Arrange, when possible, to share your room with some business associate who is going your way. Help comserve train space by ‘keeping needed berths fiom traveling empty.

Travel Light! —Pack carefully to get everything you need into ome, small, spacesaving grip which you can handle yourself if porters are lacking. And label that grip clearly against loss!

Be Considerate!—Buy tickets at off-peak hours. Aveid lingering in diners. Leave week-end trains to those on leave. And to understand the difficulties of ticket sellers, telephone reservations conductors and other railroaders who are struggling to handle the record war traffic,
