(fP) Cottage Grove's epidemic of suspicious fires reached serious proportions today when Stewart William King, 23, Cottage Grove "Grove, died at a Eugene hospital as the result of burns suffered early this morning in a motor cabin blaze, which the caretaker, J. D. Smith, said he was convinced "was deliber ately set." The blaze was the fourth aus picious fire in the Cottage Grove area in the last three weeks. King, a resident of one of the three cabins destroyed with a loss of 84,000, was severely burned above the waist, and died this morning in Eugene af ter being brought to hospital here. Smith, who operated the Moro lodge for his son-in-law Elmer Linn, Portland, told how the flames spread so rapidly that occupants were hard pressed to escape. Two families were in the other building which burned but they managed to escape without injury.

(VP) Representative Coffee (D.-Wash.; suggested today disciplinary ac tion arainst army and navy brass hats who authorize com missions for "playboy scions" of wealthy families. "The most egregious example of blundering on the part of the brass hats," Coffee told the house, "is that of giving a com mission to Horace Dodge, Jr.. of Detroit. This case, he added, was not an Isolated one but was "typical of this reprehensible practice." "What kind of morale can we build by giving honor to those among us who are not unde serving?" Coffee asked. The Grange Price Meeting L. L.
