The fire in the LaSalle hotel in Chicago showed that a building of steel and concrete was not fire-safe, though there panic contributed greatly to loss of life. Elevator shafts and stair wells become flues. Fires leap along corridors on the different levels. The former fact means that escape from upper stories by usual means of descent is cut off; and the latter fact means that access to fire escape may also be cut off. When, as is often the case, the elevators and stairways are banked together about the center of the structure the fires race through all parts so quickly that sleeping guests do not have time to reach the exits onto fire escapes. Instead they are trapped in rooms or hallways. What the proper architectural solution may be we do not profess to know. There must be stairs and elevators in modern hotels. In locating them more attention should be paid to the fire nvenace, leaving either alternate stairways or wings not auicklv seared from a central pillar of flame. Something may also be done about furnishings. The fire spread quickly in the LaSalle hotel when it caught the draperies and then the highly varnished woodwork. Curtains of spun glass, fewer deep carpets, less use of wood in interior trim would diminish the spread of the fire. Then there should be possibilities in the way of use of chemicals to suppress fires, with to use them. Chemicals promptly the fire at least, until fire department forces arrive. These are hints at possibilities, particularly for new hotels. Older plants cannot be abandoned even if they are not fire safe. Bit there vigilance in fire prevention and advance prepa ration to meet emergencies should bring a reward in saved life and property. For hotel- guests the National Safety Council has issued some timely rules for safety which we reprint: 1 When you go to your room for the first time, locate regu lar and emergency exit. 2 If you detect fire or smoke, act quickly but coolly; notify the telephone operator; give exact informaUon. 3 Peel your door before you open it; if it is hot, keep it il.wed; a iso close transoms and cover the cracks around the door with wrt towels or sheets. 4 Do not act on impulse or take unnecessary chances to get out of your room; you may be safer where you are. 8 If your door U cool, open it a little; If the hall seems safe, leave by a known exit. CUwe doors and windowi behind you to reduce draft. 7. If there is much smoke, hold or Ue a wet cloth over your face and go on your hand and kneea to an exit. Hard to Ignore While the United States voted against the resolution intro duced in the political committee of the UN assembly, it will find it hard to ignore the affirmative vote calling for a partial break with Franco's Spain. The proposal was offered by the Belgian representative. It was adopted 24 to 7, with 18 refrain ing from voting. The action urges ambassadors from Madrid and calls on the UN security council to take up the Spanish case for consideration if a government la not established in Spain within a reasonable time which draws its authority from the consent of the governed. This resolution modifies greatly the proposal of Poland for Immediate severance of relations with Spain. Nations could continue their representation through a charge d'affaires, but the withdrawal of the representative with Ambassadorial rank would be humiliating to Spain, as a mark of disesteem in which lu present government is held. While the United States and Britain have refused to break off diplomatic relations with Spain, they will have to do a lot of explaining if they refuse to follow the - recommendation of the UN committee for this lesser step. The "case" against Franco is that his government was set up by a revolution made effective through the .military assist ance of Hitler and Mussolini; that Franco extended all the aid he daied to the nazis during the war; that under him Spain remains an outpost at fascism. Support for Franco both inside . and outside his country comes from fear of another bloody ' revolution and the possible installation of a communist gov ernment there. This fear may be realized more readily unless Franco yields and permits a bloodless change in government to be ac complished. Stiff resistance fostered by outside interests may result in jut the blood bath and communism that are feared. The 9taf department has defined its position as one of opposition to continuation of Franco's rule. To comply with the rtomrnendfction of the UN committee is merely to implement its previous declaration without so drastic a step as cancellation of diplomatic relations. Farmer and Foreign Trade Probably the most staunch protectionists in the country are farmers. They fear competition of eggs from China, wheat from Canada, beef from Argentina, nuts from Turkey, butter from New Zealand But the delegates to the convention of the American Farm bureau, one of the most powerful politically speaking of all the farm organizations, heard a speaker urge them to support a give-and-take foreign policy for the United States. The speaker was Henry W. Miller, jr., treasurer of the United States Horticultural council. He told the bureau mem bers at San Francisco: "The foreign trade and economic conditions of a nation travel hand in hand. The ability to export will enlarge as our ability to accept imports grows, because the will to deal and the buving power of foreign customers will be directly associated with their shipments to this country." As a matter of fact farmers are interested two ways: some like apple and pear and prune growers are in normal times in terested in the export market, because they disposed of part of their crops in foreign countries. Others .are fearful of imports of commodities which they produce. It ought to be possible to frame a tariff system which will give reasonable protection to home producers and at the same time help provide a market for our exportable surplus. Foreign trade is a two-way street. We can consume huge quantities of sugar, coffee, bananas which are not produced in continental United States at least in sufficient quantity, and can ship out manufactures and surplus farm products to mutual advantage. Farmers should give the subject very careful study to avert disaster or themselves and at the same time to help promote world trade in which they haVe a stake as vital as anyone. The new president of the National Association of Manu facturers announces a change in its policy in labor relations and says NAM is "aimed right down the middle of the road." Wouldn't it be funny if NAM bumped right into Sen. Wayne Morse who has previously preempted the "middle of the road. A quote on stock of the Hollywood Turf association is $500 per share. It paid $50 in dividends last year and another $25 is comang later after the first of the year.

The little fellow forced an end of the , Jrail strike of j course by bris itlingup but most !of his settle jments have been ippti semen ts. iHow he did it this tune is be ing variously ex- I fn I i i n H at. zr -- itributed by some io his -new" ad Wiacrs. the St .Louis Ail orncy Pa-1 Malteat Clark Clifford and aides who worked up the strategy in the coal case, ( Attor ney General Clark and Interior Secretary Krug.) none of them is particularly new or ascribed more soundly to Mr. Truman's new realization from th elections that the country wants to curb the unlimited power of labor leaders. These suggestions are more or less true but the technique be hind the settlement carries far greater implications, to wit: Lewis backed down immediate ly after a conference of the at torneys with new Supreme Court Chief Justice Vinson. Up to then he had maintained a juridicial defiance of the government and court and his intent to make the country go cold in midwinter. Also impartial outside attorneys were strongly maintaining doubt that the supreme court (divided three ways-as it has been) would sustain Judge Goldsborough, and certain high-placed opinion ex pected a Lewis decision. Justice Vinson,- however, immediately made the case an emergency, called in attorneys for a secret meeting and promised swift de cision. Feared Fred Vinson An observant child would know from the way Judge Vinson went about it that any supreme court he had anything to do with would have a hard time trying to freeze the country for Lewis with win' ter nearing its coldest. Any out side observer would hardly ex pect this Truman appointee to the supreme bench to let government down to a legal nullity in his first case. A decision against Lewis was a foregone conclusion and fast. If invisible shades spoke at that conference, Mr. Vinson's at least implied to Mr. Lewis' he would get a less passionate trial of his appeal if he called off the coal strike and relaxed the pressures which brought it into fruition. If my invisible shade had been there. it would have said to the Lewis attorneys;. "You do not expect to get away with this, do you?" As for the law, it would have said: If the contempt move to halt the strike is not sustained, it will be followed by a long indictment of Lewis for violation of the Smith -Connally -act and all law, except technicalities is therefore on the side of the government, and its necessity to protect people from arbitrary, cancellation of their fuel supply. Ceart Settled Strike At any rate, it was owing to the result of what the Lewis at torneys heard and saw at that conference that Lewis reversed his field and started running the other way. So it was the supreme court which settled the strike and Mr. Truman's appointee (selected to bring some order out of the chaos on that court) who did it. My agents suggest Lewis was pleased with the opportunity to escape. His most grievous error had been that he had called a coal strike in midwinter. Always be fore he had terminated his con tracts in the spring when the need for coal was diminishing and comparatively little human dam age could be done by a strike. Me had planned his strike craft ily but not well. His ace in an adjacent hole or sleeve apparent ly was a break he thought he could expect in the ranks of the coal operators if the strike started going against him. This happened once before. The break came but the operators, instead of dividing and coming in for piecemeal set tlements as they did before, this time kicked the breakers out of their conference and stood firm. Asked Tremeadens Pay Increase His basic plan (never clearly made public) was to force a tre mendous wage increase through reduction of hours. Many miners have been working 54 hours a week but they get paid time and a half and portal-to-portal for this extra work and Lewis sought to get them the same time and a half pay for working 40 hours. He had no just cause commen surate With what he did in tying up the country. His backing from his own men was never strongly expressed in this cause (only their blind loyalty in any cause he might undertake) and the coal miners, may possibly have been less enthusiastic for his strike than was the CIO, which was pushing him up front, hoping he would win so somehow they would improve their own chances in their forthcoming strike for more Wages in autos and steel Those in close touch doubt that he Will resume his strike in March, after the winter is over. as promised. For more than year flow strikes have been los ing workers more than could be gained back by weeks, months or years of work. Also, while the supreme court hearing may now be less passionate and pressured, few expect the government will toss- away its legal rights of pop ular protection which have proved to be successful implements and leave itself impotent to deal with national welfare.

In view of the substantially higher incomes of people it would seem more reasonable to lift the rate in the upper bracket if a change is to be made. Again the report recommends diversion from highway funds of some $2,000,000 for aid of coun ties and cities, but makes no re placement of these revenues which the commission surely needs to reconstruct the important traffic arteries of the state. The program recommended is a quilt, a piece of ingenious patch work, varicolored, with scant har mony of design. How well the quilt will "cover" the needs of the public treasury cannot be deter mined without further study cities still seem left adrift as far as their general requirements go. But the warmth of the quilt goes chiefly to the comfort of invested wealth. The poor and the foolish (patrons of liquor shops and pari mutuel wickets) get only its thin edge.

About the only thing in the news that Influenced prices was a report that the com modity credit corporation was in the cash market for export corn. That report gave corn a firm tone and had a steadying affect on oats, but wheat was inclined to be easy and although it rallied from the day's low there was no aggressive support, although there were indications of a sustained de mand for flour. At the close wheat was unchang ed to 1 cent lower, January $2.09 4. Corn was V lower to higher, January $1.32-1.32 V4. Oats were V higher to lower, December frl-81V. Barley was unchanged to 1 cent higher, December $1.31 and lard was 85 to 74 lower.
