Sen. Gapehart Upholds Price Control Bills
Opposite View
By United Pres WASHINGTON, July 23—A Re-
Senate-House conferees to “save” consumers from perils like those which faced Pauline. Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.) told a reporter that the House bill, passed at a 14-hour marathon session early Saturday morning, was “pretty much simlar to the Senate bill, which I think is a good, practical, workable bill.” “If the administration will use it,” Mr. Capehart said, “they can control prices and stop future increases.”
Like Perils of Pauline
But Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D. 111.) said the Senate-House Conference Committee, scheduled to meet Wednesday on a compromise measure, ‘reminds me of the Perils of Pauline.” He said he was mildly hopeful that | Pauline would come out all right.
“Men frequently get religion when they go into conference,” Mr. Douglas said. “It all depends on the conference committee. If it choses, it can still save Pauline, {the consumer, by permitting al rollback on manufactured goods.” The House bill would permit |
such a rollback. The Senate's
| version of the measure would] {limit the government's rollback power, : Opposes Extension Sen. Capehart said he saw no| reason for another extension of | the current law which expires—| under a 30-day extension—at mid-} night July 31. “The administration didn’t use|
{the present law,” Mr. Capehart|
isaid. “It permitted prices to go| up and up and up.” Mr. Douglas denied that the ad-| ministration was responsible for, | post- -Korean price increases. Provisions to relax controls on| credit purchase of automobiles, radios, television sets and the, like, Sen.

LIKE Gambier Mickey Cohen, Tuffy's fists and his natural bent for a brawl started him up the racket ladder of financial success. As a youngster, he had more than 100 bouts here. He was a flyweight. His flailing fists and ability to absorb punishment earned him the ring name “Tuffy” which he has kept through the years. "Born in Russia, some 30 years ago (he doesn’t know his actual: age), of Russian-Jewish parents, Tuffy landed in Boston with his family when he was 11.

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23 —Fire officials rounded up all known firebugs today in
an investigation of “peculiari-
ties” in an apartment house fire in which eight persons were killed, 10 are missing and 23 were injured. Fire Marshal Frank Kelly said he was concerned over the “delayed alarm” “There are lots of peculiarities about this fire,” he said. “It was going like a blast furnace by the time the alarm was pulled. People already were screaming at the windows.” The flash fire burned out the inside of the four-story frame
house in one of the city's oldest residential districts before dawn yesterday. 7 Women, One Man Of the eight charred bodies re~
tendants were able to identify them only by sex. Seven were women, one a man. Firemen’ believe some of the 10 tenants still unaccounted for may have been away for the week-end when the fire struck. «Ten firemen were among the 23 injured. Most of the injured received fractures of the leg and hip or concussions as they jumped from windows and slid down drainpipes. Mrs, Sanni Wiertensen, 486, fractured her pelvis. when she fell from a drainpipe with. her 5-year-old son, Martin, clinging to her neck. The child suffered a brain consussion in the [fall Officials called it the worst fire
