the limit, at 134 Vi.
6-Ounce Glovet
Zulueta's camp lost a pre
fight skirmish Tuesday when
the Colorado Athletic commis
sion ruled 6-ounce gloves would
be used instead of the 8-ounce
ones called for in commission
rules.
Manager Hymie Wallman
charged the commission was
giving Brown the championship
"before it gets started," point
ing out that the lighter gloves
helps a "puncher" like Brown.
Commissioner Leo J. Crowley
said the 8-ounce rule was "our
rule and we can change it."
Most championship bouts, out
side Colorado, which has not
had a title bout since 1918, are
fought with the 6-ounce glove.

mix for one originally planned

Responsibility for
Elm Disease Told
Grand Rapids, Mich. rtPl
Bernard Warren, retired furni
ture executive, says he is respon
sible for the nation's Dutch elm
disease blight.
Warren said he unwittingly
brought the disease to the
United States in the 1920 s when
he imported 12 cailoads of Car
pathian elm stumps from Europe
for elm burl furniture veneer.
"The whole thing was done
innocently," he said.
Since then the blight has at
tacked and injured or destroyed
many elm trees in the eastern
part of the nation.
"If I had it to do again, I'd
leave the darn stuff over there,"
Warren said. "I'm not a bit
proud of it."

TRUCK ACCIDENT KILLS 14 Soldiers look for survivors under an Army truck that

Swedish Industries Find Advantages Under Ground
Stockholm
dustries which have gone under
ground to protect themselves
against air raids are finding
peacetice advantages in their
deep-rock shelters which are
likely to make subterranean fac
tories permanent establishments.
There are no published fig
ures on the extent of these
underground factories. Informed
sources estimate that virtually
all of Sweden's vital defense in
dustries now are in underground
quarters, blasted out of solid
granite.
The first prrvately owned
concern to build underground
was AGA (Swenska AB Gas
Accumulator), manufacturers of
marine beacons, optical goods,

Brush Fire Burns
Out of Control
Near Los Angeles
Los Angeles (IP) A second
major brush and forest fire
blazed out of control today in
Temescal Canyon near Lake
Elsinore, threatening to surpass
an earlier conflagration that
razed 1,850 acres during 100
degree Southern California wea
ther.
Assistant California Forester
Harvey French, in charge of fire
fighting operations, said the new
blaze probably would cover 4000
acres beiore it could be con
trolled.
Fire crews faced the outbreak
near the village of Alberhill,
about seven miles northwest of
the dried Elsinore lakebed. The
flames moved toward Corona to
the north in the citrus belt, but
that city was not in any imme
diate danger.
No Homes Threatened
French said 1,000. acres burn
ed overnight in the Temescal
blaze, and that a major portion
of the 350 fire fighters in the
area had been shifted to that
area. There were no homes or
ranches threatened in the sparse
ly populated sector.
More than 1,600 acres were
burned over inside the city of
Los Angeles, including the natu
ral wilderness of Griffith Park,
but these fires were reported
under control early today.
The first major brush fire of
the year was brought under con
trol Tuesday near Lake Elsinore
The blaze blacked 1,850 acres of
brush.
The Griffith Park fire in San
Fernando Valley area was con
trolled Tuesday night by the
city fire department. No struc
tures were destroyed but 1,000
acres in the vast park were
charred.

dustrial gases. At their "Rock
Workshop" just outside Stock
holm half a million cubic feet
of rock were removed to provide
18,000 square feet of space
under a roof of solid rock about
60 feet thick.
Germ-free Air
The interior walls and ceiling
are natural rock, painted a spot
less white. The quarters are air-
conditioned and have fluores
cent lighting. Maintenance costs
are much lower than for build
ings above ground, but the in
itial cost of building below is
greater.
In the underground factory,
humidity is controlled so equip
ment and tools do not rust. The
filtered air is germ-free; there is
less illness among the workers.
There is no dust in the air, an
important factor in the optical
shop where AGA, among other
products is making Cinemascope
lenses for theaters. The subter
ranean floor provides the solid
est foundation for very heavy
equipment, reducing the amount
of care and maintenance need
ed to keep it functioning at its
best.
Sweden's underground shelt
ers include hangars at most air
bases and tunnels blasted into
rock islands for naval units.
There are underground posts for
joint military and civilian use
in all parts of the country.
In the major cities there are
15 large shelters more are be
ing built which are expected to
provide protection for 100,000
persons against anything but a
direct atom bomb hit.
One of these civilian shelters
in the center of Stockholm,
shaped like a bowl turned up
side down, has nearly 70 feet of
granite above it. It will accom
modate 20.00P persons sitting up
or 5,000 sleeping; or 600 auto
mobiles. It is now being used as a
public garage and helping to
solve Stockholm's parking prob
lem. The shelter is air-conditioned
and has its own power
equipment for use if outside
power is cut off. Sliding steel
doors, six feet thick, would pro
tect against blast, radiation and
atomic dust.
Four more of these shelters
are being built in Stockholm.
They are intended to accommo
date the 5 or 10 per cent of the
population who would have to
stay there in an emeregency
after the rest were evacuated.
All new homes and apartment
buildings are being equipped
with their own shelters, but
there are not enough of them
in central btocKnoim io tne
deep rock shelters are being
added.
The one most recently com
pleted required four years to
build. One hundred and 10 tons
of dynamite were used to blast
out 132,000 cubic yards of rock
for it.
