Telephone Co. The major portion of the amount approved, $1,880,000, will be spent; for a great number of relatively: small projects, involving the con- struction, replacement and removal of telephone plants in Washington during the first quarter of 1949. An item of $1,104,000 for the in- itial installation of dial equipment in the company’s Brookland center was approved. Completion of the installation will make 5,300 new subscriber lines available, thereby taking care of fbout 1,000 unfilled applications now on file and providing for future telephone growth. In Anacostia, installation of the fourth unit of dial equipment was authorized, at a cost of $802,000, to provide 7,000 additional subscriber lines. To expand long-distance circuits between Washington and points in Maryland, Virginia and West Vir- ginia, an expenditure of $45,000 was approved.

He was divorced in 1934 from Corinne Griffith, silent-screen ac- tress; in 1944 from Shirley Listen- waiter, a socialite, and in 1947 from Marie O’Keefe.

Fire Egress Law Goes In Effect Tomorrow; Co-operation Asked Although the District’s new fire egress regulations go into effect tomorrow, Lt. Col. Carlin Whitesell, Assistant Engineer Commissioner, said today property owners will not be prosecuted until they have been given an opportunity to correct the shortcomings of their buildings. For one thing, District Building Inspectors have been able so far to check up on less than one-tenth of the thousands of buildings here that are affected under the new law, Col. Whitesell pointed out. There are 1,500 restaurants, 5,000 garages and 7,000 apartments to be checked by the inspectors, who must determine what is necessary to bring the structures into compliance with the regulations. Owners Urged to Plan. Engineer Department officials urged building owners to retain their own architects for planning necessary remodeling. The District does not intend to draw up a set of plans for. every building in the city to bring structures into compliance with the law, spokesmen said. Digests of the regulations already have been made available, Col. Whitesell said, but complete copies of the regulations have not yet been returned from the printers. The regulations cover buildings (except private dwellings) in exist- ence on March 8, 1946, and which are three or more stories or more than 30 feet high, or any building used as a school, hospital, asylum, sanitarium, convalescent home, place of amusement, public assembly or restaurant. The District’s egress act was passed by Congress one month after the ill-famed Coconut Grove night club holocaust in Boston in 1942. To- morrow morning, thousands of buildings here will be considered fire hazards under the new code. Open to Civil Suits. Col. Whitesell pointed out building owners who fail to comply with the code promptly will be laying them- selves open to civil suits (if any one is killed or injured) in buildings that do not comply with the law. The new code provides that: Open stairways used as exits must be inclosed in fireproof material. | Elevator and other shafts must be inclosed. Extra doors and fire-resistant doors must be provided in many cases. Basements and boiler rooms must be fire-proofed. * Emergency lights, fire extinguish- ers and alarms must be provided. The capacity of public places will be limited by a new formula. Doors and windows leading to fire escapes must be fire-proofed. Transoms and other openings into public corridors are banned. Hospital fire escapes must be replaced with stairways. All school fire escapes must be replaced with two exits from each classroom. James C. Darnall, 61, Dies in Hyattsville James Carl Darnall, 61, a mechan- ical engineer in the Navy Depart- ment Bureau or Ordnance, died of a heart attack yesterday at his home, 4028 Hamilton street, Hyatts- ville, Md.

After heartening days of steady improvement, Michael, whose flesh was deeply seared over 70 per cent of his body when his clothing caught fire November 12, suffered an almost fatal relapse Wednesday night when his temperatime soared to 105 degrees. Today the lad’s temperature was down to 100 and 101, but the skin graft operations planned for him have had to be postponed until he grows stronger. “It’s still touch and go,” his doc-1 tor said. “He is fighting as bravely as ever, but we can’t tell what dam-, age has been done to his vital or- gans by bum toxins. Because of that last flareup his condition will be critical for the next few days.” Burma Lacks Elephants A shortage of elephants to haul the timber is handicapping Burma’s efforts to restore its teak production to the prewar level, the number of animals having declined from over 8,000 before the war to only 3,500.

Taft-Hartley Act Foes Wind Up for Attack on Report Praising Law By th« Associated Press Democratic foes of the Taft-Hart- ley Act wound up today for a new attack on a congressional report praising the law. The law is "working well,” a majority of the Republican-dominated Senate-House “Watchdog'* Commit- tee set up to study it, said last "ight. The group urged a few “perfecting” changes, among them one requiring management representatives as well as union leaders to swear they are not Communists. The majority report was approved by seven Republicans and two Dem- ocrats. But one Republican, Senator Ives of New York, refused to sign, label- ing the report “obviously partisan.” And the other four Democratic members put out a statement blast- ing the majority document as a “fu- tile attempt to sustain legislation which already has been discredited in the eyes of the American people.” Minority Criticizes Report. And they said they will have a report of their own after the Demo- crats take control of Congress and the joint committee Monday. Leav- ing no doubt as to w'hat their document will advocate, the minority statement said of the committee report: “It fails to give weight to the evidence, which makes it clear that the public welfare requires the im-1 mediate repeal of this antiunion I measure." President. Truman campaigned for repeal and the Democratic plat- form calls for it. The law was passed over Mr. Truman's veto. There undoubtedly will be a repeal bill in the new Congress. Its fate; is a big question. The watchdog comittee's report1 urged that the law get a further! chance to prove itself. It said: ! “Given another year to gain the general acceptance, knowledge and understanding of its provisions, the committee is convinced that the act will have proven beyond all doubt its effectiveness in promoting the adjustment and disposition of labor problems equitably and in creating more friendly and co-operative re- lationships.” Ln workability Claimed. But the minority retorted that this “disregards the extensive record of experience gained under administration of the act, which estab- lishes clearly its unworkability.’’ The majority recommended broad- ening the non-Communist provision to apply to the officers of a union's parent organization, such as the CIO and the American Federation of Labor, as well as to management representatives in collective bar- gaining. The committee said it “has not discovered any evidence that a sub- stantial number of Communists" may be found in maeagement. But1 it added that employer representatives should file affidavits “in the interest of creating and preserving! a balance in the law as between labor and management.” The committee is headed by Sen-1 ator Ball, Republican, of Minne-j sota, who lost his bid for re-elec-! tion in November. Two other Re- publican members of the majority! group also were defeated at the polls. They are Representatives McCowen of Ohio and Landis of Indiana. And Mr. Hartley is retiring from Congress.

Women Under German Laws Big Problem for AMG By the Associated Press FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 3L —The question of whether American women accused of shooting their soldier husbands in Germany can be tried legally under present laws in Germany is giving American officials a judicial headache. Three such cases now are pending ; and they all present the same con- troversial legal problem: Can an American woman be tried under the laws now prevailing in Ger- many? So far, there have been rulings on both sides of the question. These cases may go to the United States Supreme Court before a final answer is obtained. Two Already Convicted. Two of the women already hav* been convicted by American military government courts. Mrs. Wilma Ybarbo. of Malden, Mass, who got a 20-year prison sentence last Tuesday for killing her sergeant husband, is appealing to the highest military government court in Germany. She will chal- lenge military government’s right to try her under German law and without a jury. The court which convicted her rejected a similar chal- lenge. Mrs. Mary Mimms of Chicago, 111, recently won a reversal of her two- year suspended sentence for shooting and wounding Pvt. Willie R. Mimms. The review board held she was not subject to the German law under which she was tried. Despite that ruling, German law will be invoked also in the trial of Mrs. Florence Wallace of Jackson- ville, Fla. She is accused of wounding T Sergt. Herman Wallace, with a pistol last October 14. Denies Reich Law Applies. “We are convinced that German criminal law does apply to Ameri- can civilians here,” said Thomas C. Lanican of Boston, Mass., a military government district attorney. "So we are invoking German law in charging Mrs. Wallace with an attempt to kill,” Mr. Lanican said. Mrs. Wallace also is accused under military government law of as- saulting a member of the occupy- ing forces and unauthorized use of a fire arm. But the military government code contains no laws to cover specifically such civilian crimes as murder, man- slaughter, assault. That is why the military government courts fall back on German law, which they claim has been partly incorporated into the military government code. Rifes fo Be Held Tuesday For Mrs. C. H.
