After having braved the fiery holocaust, that reaped
ihe lives of at least 117 persons in Atlanta’s Winecoff
iTotel fire, E. B. Murrow of 467 East Hancock avenue,
Athens, related today to the Banner-Herald his horror
filed eve-witness account of the pre-dawn disaster as
ccen standing on a four-inch ledge outside his window on
the sixth floor.
For twenty-five minutes, he
hung suspended in the smoky
dakness °with rescue finally
coming in the nick of time. As
Mr. Murrow said, “lI wasg grad

with the others.”
Murrow, a local candy manu

Five Business
Places Last Night
A wave of burglaries broke
over the city Sundey night with
five places being victmized and
police where linvestigating,
taough no developments have
been announced.
The Loef Company, locatel on
Thomas street, dealing in auto
parts and junk, was broken inte
during the night when the pad
lock on the door was smashed.
Tae cash box on a soft dring
vending machine was rifled and
$4.00 in change taken.
Another place entered was
the Sinclair Ol Company, where
the intruders c¢ut away a window
screen ang pushed an unlocked
window. However, thig appar
ently was a “water 'aaul” since
officiajs o{ 'the company 'said
they did not find anything miss
ing.
Rowaland Seed Company, on
East Broad st-eet, was also inter
tered, the same method of entry
as was used in the Loef Company
robbery being employed. Only
items reporteq missing at the
Rowland Company were three
rasher expensive cigarette light
ers.
Burglars also broke into New
Way Laundry on Pgince avenue,
tearing off wooden panelling on
the rear door. Police said noth
ing had been reporteq missing
thig morning.
The Tavern, located in the
Five Paints area, was also en
tered, Holice are investigating
this entry but said earlier today
they hiad no report on what had
been taken.
Despite the fact that the city
now has patrol cars equipped
with radio-telephone, the bur
glarg apparently 'aad little fear
of being detected as in a recent
case. Police said today they be
lieved all the robberies . were
committed by the same party or
parties, but would not go into
letails. One officer suggested that
if spotlights were placed on the
patrol cars, officers could throw
the beams on places of business
#lat could be easy prey for bur
glars, and either scare them
away, or detect evidence of pos
sibly entry.

Opens Tonight In
Fine Arts Building
The curtain riges at 8:30 to
night in the Fine Arts Auditorium
on the second dramatic peresenta
tiori of the season to be offered
by the University of Georgia
Theatre Group. “Everyman” is
an unusual production, the oldest
morality play on record and one
of the most stirring religious dra
mas of all time,
It portrays in terms of qua
lities of mankind, the continual
struggle going on between the
forces of good and evil as Every
man is summoned to Death. The
cast of characters includes such
human actions 8s deceit, cow
ardice, knowledge, good deeds,
and the like, in constant conflict,
dramatized by the actors from
behind weired masks and cos
tumes that will accentuate the
struggle without intruding the
personalities of the actors into
the mood of the play. :
“Th, cast is rather unusual,
featuring seventeen girls and one
man”, Leighton M. Ballew, di
rector of the University Theater,
poirts out, This is more interest
ing when one notes that in ancient
times women never acted on the
stage at all, espeially during the
days when “Everyman” was ori
ginally presented.”
For the first time in it’s his

Russia Opposes Reporting On
Home Troops;Reverses Policy
MOLOTOV'S BOMBSHELL THREATENS
TO REOPEN TROOP CENSUS DEBATE
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Dec. 9.— (AP)—Russia unex
pectedly refused early today to accept a proposal for a
United Nations inventory of armed troops at home.
In a surprise move, Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mol
otov demanded deletion of a home troop census from a
resolution already approved by the powerful U. N. Polit
ical Committee.
His action threatened to reopen
the whole question of troop dis=
positions. '
Previously, at the committee
stage, Molotov had agreed to
taking census of both domestic
forces and those on foreigh soil.
Molotov tossed today’s wverbal
bombshell into the assembly a few
seconds after Sir Hartley Shaw
gross of Great Britain asked the
peace-keeping body to establish
an Internationals Inspection Board
to verify figures submitted by
member nations in the trocp in=-
ventory.
Delegates who had come to the
session prepared to debate the
British plan were so surprised and
unprepared for Molotov’s act.imti
that the plenary session was res
cessed until tomorrow at 4 p. m.
(E.S.T). L
Plenary Session :
The Soviet action highlighted a
five-hour plenary session which
began at 8:15 (E. S. T.) lastnight.
Just before midnight the assembly
had, in effect, censured South
Africa for racial discrimination of
Indians in the union after reiect#‘
ing a South African demand that
the issue be turned over to the
International Court of Justice for
an advisory opinion.
When Molotov climbed to the
Rostrum at the opening of the
troop census debate delegates ex-l
pected him to confine his remarks
to the British proposal for veri
fication of figures to be submitte
by all members by Jan. 1. Instead,
he began with a declaration of the
importance of an inventory of
troops, abroad, particularly those
on member states’ soil, and then
argued any counting of home
troops would only “complicate the
question of troops on foreign soil.”
Renews Debate I
Molotov renewed his original
argument that the hoime troop cen
sus should be linked with the pro
posed program of disarmament

Government Waits
Next Showdown
Round With Lewis
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9—(AP)
—The administration, triumphant
in its bitter fight so stnasn the coal
strike, counted on a nod from the
Supreme Court today signaling the
next grim round with John L.
Lewis,
The high tribunal assembles at
noon (EST) with this big question
hanging: whether it will by-pass
an intermediate court to hear the
appeal of Lewis and his United
Mine Wecerkers contempt fines.
Jubilant over the week-end sur
render of Lewis which ended the
17-day economy-wrecking walk
out, officials familiar with the
government’s legal strategy press
ed confidence that the top
court of the land would take
jurisdiction for an early show
down,
But these officials as well as
union aides said they expect that
with the strike over tha court
probably will put the case on its
regular calendar, rather than
docket it ahead of other matters.
This might put off a deeision un
til February.
z Full Speed
In the wake of Lewis’ cudden
and dramatic capitulation Satur
day, the nation hustled to get in
dustrial wheels turning full speed
again,
While this is dependent on the
coal diggers, there was every sign
that the miners were heeding the
order of their shaggy-browed
leader. Lewis told them there
should “be no hesitation” about
getting back to the pits.
In cancelling the strike after in
dicating time and again that he
planned a fight to the finish, Lewis
gave these reasons;
1. The Supreme Court, in con
sidering the contempt conviction
and possibly whether the miners
had a right to void their cantract
with the government, should be
“free from public pressure super
induced by the hysteria and frenzy
of an economic crisis.”
2. “Public necessity reguires
the quantitative production of coal
during such period.” |
: Unexpected Retreat |
Lewis beat his unexpected re
treat even as President Truman
was at work on a bare-knuckle
radio speech which he had plan
ned to deliver last night. Mr. Tru
man cancelled the talk when he
received word the strike was over,
but he made no comment. \

Probe To Defermine
Fire's Origin
Starts In Atlanta
ATLANTA, Dec. 9—(AP)—The
Winecoff hotel disaster came up
for multipie investigations today
amid a futile search for the ori
gin of the fire that killed at least
120 persons.
City, county and national
probes were ordered. They coin
cided with demands for more
stringent safeguards against such
tragedies.
Solicitor General E. E. Andrews
arranged conferences with the
city fire Marshal, firemen, fire
underwriters and grand jury
foreman Henry Chandler. He said
a Fulton County (Atlanta) grand
jury would study Saiurday’s pre
dawn fire to determine if there
had been any criminal negligen
ces. The jury will meet tomorrow
Mayor William B. Hartsfield
called an afternoon meeting ot
the City councils fire committee
to question officials about the na
tions most deadly hotel fire. One
National Fire Prevention Asso
ciation and the National Confer
ence of Building Officers also
plenned investigations.
The city’s Grady Hospital was
asked by Mayor Hartsfield for a
report on the fumes and gas poi
soning among the casualties in an
effort to determine the fire’s ori
gin. The speed with which the
blaze spread also has baffled of
ficials. The National Society of
Professional ' - Enginears and
Mayor Hartsfield called for better
regulations designed to prevent
such loss of lives by fire.
The Engineers asked the State
societies to assist in “review, cor
rection and enforcement” of local
construction safety standards.

BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HONOLULU, Dec. 9.— (NEA) —Five years after the
debacle at Pearl Harbor, the visitor sees a‘imost no signs
of the fury and havoc that burst over the deep inlet bay,
hard by fabled Honolulu, at 7:55. a. m., December 7,
1941.
Where once there were blazing battleships, smoking
docks and twisted wreckage of vast hangars, there are
now greater military installations than ever.
The reservation has been more
than doubed in area and 20 times
expanded in extent, variety and
cost of its installaions. It and the
island of Oahu constitute the
mightiest single fortress in the
world, the top strategic point
ir the hugh Pacific, 2200 air
miles from San Francisco, 3800
from Tokyo.
More than a million fighting
men passed through Oahu in five
years. At one time there were
400000 soldiers alone gtatiorjed
on the island. . ‘
Some of the changes wrought
in Honolulu are permanent. Much
;4 the militar installation is of
oncrete or other permanent con=-
structilon. This includes the fab-
Jdous $42,000,000 Red Hill under
round a Pearl Harbor, a system
»f subterranean oil storage un
like anything in the world.
Although Red Hill’s contours
are familiar to hundreds of thous
inds, comparatively few know
that buried beneath its surface
are 20 concretelined vertical
tanks, each higher than a 20-
story buiding, capable of hold
irg 250,000,600 gallons of fuel oil
The underground was built, of
ccurse, because the Navy wanted
to get its fuel 0i1—4,000,000 bar
rels of it —out of reach of Japa
nese bombs, RS
Every time Navy men looked
a‘ the nest of tanks back of Pearl
Harbor Navy Yard they winced
at the thught of what a few
well placed bombs would do.

SAFE FROM ATOM BOMBS
Buried 200 feet beneath ‘Red
Hills’s surface, the tanks and their
precious contents are safe—even
ftom an atomic bomb. Together
with 12 surface tanks situated be
ween the Halawa and submarine
base gates, the underground holds
sufficient fuel to supply the Pa
ciefic Fleet’s needs for six years.
Sailors who fought from Pearl
Harbor to Okinawa are nearly all
civilians now and the families of
the peacetime Navy now live
comfortably in the hundreds of
Quonset huts that border the im
mense base. Stessing peace-time
and the feminine touch, they are
berdered by pink flowers and
morning glory vines run over-the

Where huge aircraft carriers
and 45,000-ton battleships were at
anchor or tied alongside one of
the many docks, today the might
iest warship in the entire yard is
a 200 ton destroyer. Most of the
byildings are standing, however,
and in semi-operation. The large
fields, that in pre-war years grew
