Fire Prevention Week
The tremendous loss in lives and property by
fire continues. Each year, about 12,000 Americans die
needlessly in fire and more than twice that number
are severely burned or disfigured for life.
Old people and pre-school children are the prin
ciple victims of fire. Every day there are 1087 fires
in the home, 33 deaths by fire, 95 store fires, 97 factory
fires, 8 church fires, 11 school fires, and 4 hospital fires.
In order to center public attention on this coun
try’s terrific fire losses, President Eisenhower has
proclaimed this week Fire Prevention Week. In this
year’s proclamation, he calls upon the American Na
tional Red Gross, along with other agencies, to cooper
ate fully in the observance of Fire Prevention Week.
Our Fire Department again reminds us that clean
stacks, clean burners, all pipes and hazards checked
and, where faulty, improved, will aid in keeping down
the percentage of fire loss in Nome.

Eisenhower Says Stevenson Proposal
To End H-Bomb Testing Will Lead
To Confusion and Misunderstanding
Adlai Stevenson’s repeated pro-*
posals to halt or limit U.S. H
bomb tests “can lead only to con
fusion at home and misunder
standing abroad,” President Eis
enhower said Friday night.
In an obvious reply to Steven
son—'but without mentioning his
name—Eisenhower issued a state
ment expressing regret the nu
clear testing program has become
a campaign issue.
In the absence of foolproof
agreements with other nations,
Eisenhower said, testing of atomic
weapons “has been—and con
tinues—an indispensable part of
our defense program.”
Speaking of the H-bomb pro
posals, Eisenhower said this na
tion “has consistently affirmed
and reaffirmed its readiness—in
deed, its strong will—to restrict
and control” testing and use of
nuclear weapons.
But he said this cannot be done
without foolproof international
agreements and will not be “for
however long I am charged with
chief responsibility for the secur
ity of our nation.”
Eisenhower said Sen. Anderson
of New Mexico, Democratic chair
man of the joint congressional
committee on atomic energy, had
advised against calling off U. S.
tests becai&e there is no indica
tion the Russians would stop
theirs.
And, in an undisguised slap at
Stevenson, Eisenhower continued:
“The testimony of such a respon
sible Democrat makes clear that
this is not—as it should be—a
partisan /political issue, but an
issue raised by one individual.”

With Secret Mark
CHICAGO, (iT)—Two Chicago
fur dealers, police disclosed Fri
day night, appeared to have been
trapped by some mink fur pieces.
A woman’s careful selection of
a certain piece of mink also fig
ured prominently in their arrest,
police said.
Detective Anthony Cotti told
the details leading to their arrest.
1 Early last month, Mrs. Charles
Velpel of Peoria, 111., decided to
order a coat and wanted to be
sure it would be made of the
mink paw plate (a group of furs
sewed together) she had selected.
She secretly used an indelible
pencil to mark her name on the
raw material.
A few days later, the firm
where she selected her furs was
burglarized and the $5,000 loot
included Mrs. Velpel’s selection.
But the fur store made good its
promise to get a similar piece
from a Chicago supplier.
The order from the Chicago
furrier included the piece marked
with Mrs. Velpel’s name.
Detective Cotti Friday arrested
Irving Singer, 41, a partner in
the firm which supplied the Pe
oria store with the furs, and
charged him with receiving stolen
property. Police said they also
recovered an additional $700
worth of missing mink paw plate
at Singer’s store.
Cotti said Singer told him he
got the mink paw plate from Aoe
Rosen, 53, a furrier. Rosen was
arrested and held in jail on a
charge of grand larceny.
