LOCAL MAN HASNARROW ESCAPEIN TRJCjLBLAZEIS DRIVER OF TRUCK LOAD-

ED WITH CELLULOIDWORTH $5,000

RARITAN TOWNSHIP. — JohnMcNulty, of Piscatawaytown, mir-aculously escaped serious injuryand posible death last Friday, whena truck belonging to the Nixon Ni-tration Works, of this township,and driven by him, burst intoflames in New York City causing anestimated damage of $5,000.

The truck was loaded with sheetso"f celluloid, a highly inflamableproduct.

A passing motorist caled McNuI-ty's attention to the fire. The driv-er stopped the truck, leaped outand a second later the entire truckwas transformed into a blast fur-nace.

Traffic was tied up for a halfhour on First avenue, between 43 rdand 44th street, as firemen battledthe flames, which created a densesmoke that spread.for blocks.

It is believed that hitch-hikersstole a ride on back of the truckand sparks from a cigarette mighthave been responsible for the blaze.

WOODBRIDGE.—Michael Sek-son, of Hancock street, Trentan,was fined $10 last night by JudgeArthur Brown for driving a carafter his license has been revoked.

Trooper H. J. Wagoner, of the CoIonia barracks of. the State Police,made the arrest.

Woodbridge public schools.At the age of 13, James entered

the employ of the Anness FireBrick factory. Later he went towork for the Guggenheimer plantin .£erth Amboy and still later wasemployed by the Copper Works atCarteret as a machine blacksmith.He received; his appointment to thepolice department on June 1, 1908.When Walsh joined the Township'slaw enforcement body, there wereonly three otheir officers—the lateChief Patrick W". Murphy, the latePatrick Cullinane and Hans Si-monsen, who is now on the retiredlist.

Walsh was first assigned to theKeasbey-Fords-Hopelawn beat andwas the first officer ever to patro1

that section of Woodbridge Town-ship. He hadn't been stationed atthe post very long when he "made"the front pages of the county news-papers for apprehending a womanwanted for the murder of her ba-by[ This same woman it is alleged,laer escaped from the county jail,but was captured shortly after-wards.

After working the Keasbey-FordsHopelawn beat for three and a halfyears, Walsh was transferred toWodbridge proper. Robert Eganwas appointed to the force thatyear and took over Walsh's post.

'In Woodbridge, Walsh workedvarious beats. He was the first traffie officer on the corner of Mainstreet and Amboy avenue—long be-fore he booth was constructed.

In 1916 he was advanced to de-tective sergeant which position heheld until i9lS when the rank wasabolished. However, the same ad-ministration that abolished the po-sition at that time reappointed himto the detective sergeantship in1922. He acted in that capacity un-til 1927 at which time he was nam-ed captain.

It was Captain Walsh until thedeath of Chief Murphy who diedon January tS, 1932. Walsh thenbecame acting chief until February8, 1932, when the Township com-mittee unanimously named himchief of the Township department.

While detective sergeant andcaptain, Walsh with his colleagueswas instrumental in clearing up several big "jobs" including the Wil-liam street explosion, the Fordslunchroom murder and the murder

This project has been approvedby the rivers and harbors commit-tee and will be included in therivers and harbors bill which is tobe reported to Congress within (henext two weeks.

Entered at the Post Office, at Fords, N. J., as second classmail matter on April 17, 1936.

James A. WalshThis week the Township suffered a great loss in the un-

expected death of Chief of Police James A. Walsh. A mem-ber of the police force for 29 years, James Walsh rose fromthe ranks to his present position. As a patrolman he cov-ered the greater part of the second ward. Later as detec-tive sergeant and captain he helped to solve cases whichperplexed police in the vicinity.

His long experience in police work enabled him to teliat a glance the hardened criminal from the man who com-mitted a crime through need or chance. With the formerhe dealt severely, with the latter he tempered mercy withjustice.

Chief Walsh was seriously ill last year, but recoveredafter a long siege of illness and returned to his desk. Heworked untiringly and was at his work the night of hisdeath when several traffic violators appeared to answercharges of speeding.

Tomorrow, the people of the Township will pay theirlast respects to Chief Walsh. We know the townsfolk alunite with us in extending their sympathies to the bereav-ed family and join us in saying, "May he rest in peace."

Knowledge A Valuable ToolMany years ago the psalmist lamented "that he who in-

creases knowledge increases sorrow" and the world hasbeen plagued with many similar thinkers since that day.

We have something of a counterpart in this era amongthose who decry scientific knowledge and the detailed in-teilligence of the specialist in many fields. We have alsoa fringe of the population who cherish the idea, often a-d:vanced by earlier citizens, that "inner illumination" is allthat one needs.

The advance of intelligence in the world has not yet halt-ed before such ignorant barriers and as men and womenlook ahead they visualize a world in which the truth willeventually become clearly established. It is a goal worthseeking because past experience leads to the conclusionthat the welfare of mankind wil] be best served by its at-tainment.

Not every individual who becomes a specialist, however,is equipped with the broadness of vision that enables one toappreciate other achievements in the realm of knowledge.Not every intelligent citizen is balanced in the philosophyof living that must make us servants of our age. The con-clusion is easy to reach that intelligence, by itself, is notenough but that man must possess some other force or fac-tor, which for want of a more definite term, might as wellbe refemd to as "inner illumination."

Young people who happen to stray into these columns ofTHE BEACON should not overlook the importance ofintelligence as an instrument toward greater achievement,both for individuals and the race as a whole. They shouldnot put their trust entirely in knowledge but should also de-velop themselves in harmony with their own personal "in-ner illumination." Combined with faithful adherence to in-ner guides intelligence becomes a pawerful force in life.

Sit-Down Strikes DangerousThat the sit-down strike has introduced a new and dan-

gerous weapon into labor warfare cannot be disputed. Inview of the epidemic of such strikes that has followed theoriginal it appears that public opinion in the United Statesmust soon crystallize and express itself.

The seizure of other people's property by dissatisfiedlaborers is a serious matter. If permitted to continue it willnot be long before every -dissident group will undertakesimilar mass seizures and property rights will vanish. Thatthe American people contemplate this eventuality, or thatthey will permit it to happen, is not to be contended.

As a general rule, THE BEACON is inclined to sup-port organized labor's efforts to improve the conditions ofthe working people of the United States. It is even willingto make allowances for the exhuberant action of men andwomen, fighting their economic battles against adverseodds, but, even after doing so, we cannot give a blanketendorsement to the tactics that have been evolved in thesit-down strike.

It is plain to see that if legitimate unions are accordedthe right to seize property of others the illegitimate labororganizations, of the racketeer type, will also use the sameweapon. There is no way for the owner of property to de-termine whether a sit-down strike is directed by workers,or by criminals, gangsters and racketeers, who desire totake advantage of the unlawful possession of property.

Sooner or later there will arise a demand for government-al power to effectively deal with sit-down strikes, as wellas other labor troubles. The President of the United Statesis on record in favor of governmental powers to compel themutual observance of labor contacts by employe and em-ployer alike. This would do away with the necessity of re-sorts to force and put the government in the business of anarbiter of disputes between capital and labor, with the ideathat the interests of theshould be first served.

Tightening Up NeededLast week in Pennsylvania an eight-year-old boy was

found murdered and subsequently police announced thathis uncle, 27, had confessed the crime.

Such an item is bad reading anywhere but it becomesworse when one is told that the uncle had spent eighteenyears at a reform school for mental cases, that he escaped afew years ago and although located was not returned tothe school.

We are not trying to criticise those who might have sentthis man back to the reform school. They were probablydoing what they thought was best under the circumstances.However, entirely too many similar instances are reportedin the newspapers. They indicate that there must be atightening up and public opinion must back up the actionof officials.

Comes Spring and the Army's 1937 'Dodo'Class Gets Aerially Under Way

IT'S THE SAME OLD TALE

The flying cadet at RandolphField learns more than how to flyan airplane; he learns "why" anairplane flies, as shown here. Aninstructor is with the cadets.

FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas.— The army's 1937 spring "dodo"crop is On the way.

The "dodos" are the beginners,the flying cadets of the army's"West Point of the Air." Ran-dolph Field One hundred andfifteen of them have just enrolledfor training as military pilots.

Cadet training is conductedunder three separate co-ordi-nated departments: the academic,ihe flying, and the military.

Afterward,he is promoted to first lieutenantand is continued on active dutyfor an additional two years.

As a cadet, each man receivesabout 324 flying hours. Duringhis three years' active duty, heis enabled, to secure 1200 hours'flying time, which will entitlehim to meet Department of Com-merce qualifications for transportDilot. He draws a salary fromthe day he becomes a "dodo."

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wagner-Steagall Housing Bill Isto Benefit $600 Families

BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

WfASHINGTON.-If the Wag-" ner-Steagall housing bill is

passed, the low income groups,which means those familieswhose income is not more than$600 a year, will benefit greatly

Those who are pushing thispiece of legislation hope opti-mistically that, in the next fouryears, it would be possible tobuild 375,000 subsidized housesfor people who cannot affordsuch dwellings if they must de-pend on costly private enter-prise.

The Wagner-Ellenbogen bill,passed by the Senate last yearrecognized housing as a govern-ment responsibility. The differ-ence between this draft and Sen-ator Wagner's earlier housingbill is that the federal subsidywill be put on rents instead olinto the original cost of con-struction. This change will en-able the government to retainsome control over the housingprojects it subsidizes, and willmake the necessary appropria-tion for grants less at the out-set.

• • •PARLY hearings and passage^ by the Senate are likely inthe case of the new bill. Themeasure defines government re-sponsibility by making it a fed-era! policy to employ funds andcredit to help alleviate unem-ployment and "to remedy theunsafe and insanitary housingconditions, and the acute short-age of decent, safe, and sanitarydwellings for families of low in-come that are injurious to thehealth, safety, and morals of thecitizens of the nation."

A United States Housing Au-thority with three men berswould adnrt.ister the act. TheAuthority would issue bonds tothe amount of SI.000,000.000 inthe next four vears. This moneywould be loaned to local or

state public housing agenciesfor periods up to 60 years at thegoing rate of interest, which isnow 1Vz% on government in-vestments.

The annual federal grant tolocal housing agencies could nolexceed the existing annual rateof interest plus 1 per <enl un thecost of developing or acquiringthe project. So contributionsout of federal money on the ba-sis of the going rate of interestat this time could gn as high a?ZVz per cent.

Secretary of Treasury Mor-genthau is reported to ju^t innthe proposal because ol it? ex-pense in the long run. Altn-gethpr the bill would take fromthe Treasury in the years 19:i91940, and 1941, $50.0ui).0(ifJ Itis estimated that operation ofthis plan wnuld require some$500,000,000 of non-federal loans,plus the federal billion and S50,-000,000 for grants in the firstfour years.

• • *

A VEKAGE annual subsidieswould run between SI00 and

$125 per unit. But an individ-ual grant could run as high a-S175 a year on a $500(1 hmneand it is estimated roni enst1-would be cut 40 or 45 per centRents, of course, would dependon local taxes on housing prot-ects. If there were tax exerr>D-tion In practice as we!! as >itheory, there would be a pos-sibility of reaching the $600 ayear families who could, foi ex-ample, get a maximum subsidyon a four-room. $4000 house atrent of about S2.50 per monthper room.

The proposed Housing Au-thority also could lend up toS25.OOO.O0O a year to limited-profit housing agencies on dem-onstration of low cost-housingor slum clearance projects.

"Citv ni Death"

ALL during the World war, Anita Johnson of Lynn expectedto be blown up by a bomb. In those days she lived in

Halifax, Nova Scotia. That, of course, is up Canada way,and from 1914 right through to the Armistice, the folks upthere took precautions against air raids and attacks by theGermans. At night, no lights were allowed to face the har-bor. The harbor was patrolled by boats day and night.

Anita was just a kid then. She didn't know what all those precau-tions were for, exactly. But she sort of understood that one day theGerman airplanes would come flying over the Atlantic and start •how-ering bombs on the city.

But nothing even remotely resembling- an air raid happenedIn Halifax until December 6, 1917. Then something happenedthat wai worse than a hundred air raids.

The Great Halifax Explosion. :

You remember what happened then. You remember how two shipscollided in the harbor—how one of them was loaded to the gunnelswith ammunition that exploded and almost wrecked the whole town.

The great Halifax explosion was one ol the notable disasters ol thecentury. And Anita was right where the big blast did some of its worstdamage.

Anita was ten years old when it happened, and 3he was in schoolwhen the big French munitions ship let go with a roar that was heardround the world.

"We had Just been In our class rooms for five minutes," iheBays, "when suddenly we beard a series of noises. I rememberlooking toward a window and thinking that a car must havebackfired outside. But it didn't take long to find out that it wasno car."What Anita had heard was just a couple of little explosions that set

off the big one. The real blast didn't sound like an explosion to herat all,

Teacher Knew What Was Coming.Anita may have thought those sounds were the backfiring of a car,

but her teacher wasn't fooled. She seemed to sense what was comingand told the children, "Quick! Put your heads down on your desks!"

Those kids did as they were told. Then it came! Not a loud report.Those kids were too near it to hear the blast, for the schoolhouse wason a hill, not five minutes' walk from Die harbor. But all of a sudden itseemed as if the whole world were crashing down on them. ANDANITA?

Well, suppose we let her tell you herself how she felt."At that age," she says, "my mind was, of course, full of war.

T bad my own Ideas about air raids, so, as my head lay on thedesk, my eyes Ug'ttiy closed I fcH myself traveling skyward asI expected a bomb should send me."J kept traveling up and up until Jt seemed there must be «ome-

thing wrong with my means of transportation."Alter all, t bomb could only send me so far, and I should be com-

ing back by now. I was positive I would be killed when I landed, andI could aee no reason to prolong the agony, so I decided to Investigate.

"I opened my eyes and saw the floor. Now that floor wasn't sup-posed to have followed me, so I realized that I wasn't up In the air at alt

"I hadn't even moved, AND I COULDN'T MOVE. There were so manythingi on top of me. I heard some yelling and I yelled too. But thatdidn't help, any, IO I waited."

Most of Them Were Dead or Disabled.Anita doesn't know how long Bhe waited. Time didn't mean a thing

to her. She was so dazed by the shock that she didn't feel any pain.It wasn't until later that she even realized she was hurt. But she

u t at her desk until torn* soldiers came into the room and pulledb«r out of it.

"Luckily I was able to walk," she i&yi. "There were onlyfiv* or BU of u» who could."Then Anita started making her way out of the school building."Wo managed to climb and crawl over things that blocked the

halls," she Bays. "The stairs were all gone but there was enoughdebris piled up where they had been to take their place. We slid andcrawled down those piles and finally got outside.

"I stayed there at the school for quite a while, too dazed to do any-thing else. All I could see around me was fire. The soldiers kept bring-ing other girls out of the school building.

"Some of them were dead. Others so injured that they couldn'tbe recognized. Other buildings were down all around us,

"It didn't take us long to find out what had happened. After I hadbeen there for ten or fifteen mfnutes I saw my sister coming out."

Anita Was Covered With Blood.Anita waited for her sister to come up. But sister walked right up

to her—walked right on past her and didn't even notice her.Anita called to her and she came back. And only then did Anita

learn that she was just as unrecognizable as some of those other in-jured kids she had been pitying.

HER FACE—HER CLOTHING—HER WHOLE BODY—ALLOF THEM WERE COVERED WITH BLOOD.Together, she and sister started for home. They walked around

wreckage, dodged live electric wires and stepped over dead bodies bythe score. And when they arrived at their home thoy found it justanother wreck like the schoolhouse and all the other buildings in theneighborhood.

Anita's head was full of bils of glass, but she managed to have itall taken out except for one piece which she says she ihii.'-.- ihe doctorleft there for a souvenir.

She has a few fancy scars, too, but they're nothing ••.* what shemight have had. •

DUX CLUB WALLOPED; JEGLINSKI PACES BOMBERS TO SECOND HALF TITLE

By Lyman Peck Jr.

The Dux Club didn'tfare so well in the WPACounty basketball tourney

—they were walloped bySt. Stephen quintet fromPerth Amboy by a 53-19count—Andy Gadek isn'tso anxious to cnallengePerth Amboy keglers to"stucks" matches since theMajor Distributing fivesmeared Gadek's team byover three hundred pins—The 'STEVE* VECSEY -'WINDY' LAKIS grudgematch got under way lastSaturday at the RecreationBowling alleys—Steve wonthe first match by sixty-seven pins—the second setis scheduled for this after-noon at the Craftsmen's al-leys at 3:30.

The Woodbridge FieldClub, ala Lattanzio, are up totheir old tricks again—theyjust launched another basketball campaign and have wonthree games—their baseballseason is scheduled to startnext Thursday against ateam from Carteret—If theywin it will be in the papers,and if they lose, it will be apractice game.

So far no word has beenreceived from "Swack"Dunham who departed forthe sunny South last Fri-day—'Well, as the old say-ing goes, "No news is goodnews" we hope. Frank Jostand George "Judge" Ger-<eik are home from Manhat-tan for the Easter vacationbut are anxious to returnto baseball practice.

Judging from the portlyshapes of Walter Habischand Dick Krohne running abowling alley seems to be afattening business — Walthas been strutting aroundwith his chest expanded forthe past few days—his pinboys won a three-gamematch from the pin boys whowork over at the CraftsmenClub—Young Walt Jr., wasthe top man with a 192 score.

I received a letter of cor-rection yestrday from thebrother of one of the play-ers on the 1916 footballteam. The fifth player inthe front row (readingfrom left to right) is JoeKatransky and not Benja-min Garber as was stated.Steve's brother, Joe, alsorelates some incidentsfrom the good old days—they can be found else-where an the sports page.The Sewaren A. A., won't

have a chance to prove theirsuperiority over the PuxClub—they took matterslightly in their game withthe Keasbey Bombers andwere knocked off — theBombers deserve plenty ofcredit for their well-earnedvictories over Sewaren andthe Red Onions.

When the bowling lea-leagues come to an end, itmight be a good idea tohold a turnment to declarethe bowling champ ofWoodbridge—lack of competitors is the only draw-back to this idea as mostkeglers belive the BERN-STEIN brothers are aboutthe best — WHAT DOYOU THINK?

Earl *Smith, star pitcherfor the Barrons, is still a kidat heart?—if he can't pitchhis way through a game hecan kid his opponents intosubmission. William 'Juicy'Faubl hasn't recovered fromthe strain of the bowlingmatch with Hizzoner—whenhe is well again, a return

ten will be in the offing.

' 1 saw the picture of the1915 football team in your paperlast week and I want to callyour attention to a mistake innaming the players. The fifthpiayer in the front row, readingirom leit to right, is Joseph Ka-transky ajid not Benjamin Gar-ber. You have seventeen men inthe pictuie and only sixteennames so Garber must be somewhere else.

"My brother has the samepicture home, and I often lookat it aJong with many others ofthe dilterent Wooaoridge Highbchool teams,

AUTO RACING INEAST TO STARTIN FOUR WEEKS

PHILA., PA.—Ralph A. Hankin-soji, President and General Man-ager of Hankinson Speedways, Inc.of New York City and Philadelphiawhose activities for the past 27years has placed this organizationat the top of America's recognizedand leading group in sponsoringautomobile races, has revealedsome very interesting data in con-nection with the past season's act-ivities in the auto racing field andchampionship midget car races,the latter enjoyed a most satisfac-tory season at the PhiladelphiaFive Million Dollar Stadium.

The evidence of the increasinginterest and development in auto-mobile racing, from the standpointof attendance, is most remarkable.The attendance record at Hankin-son Speedways operations in 1S33reached nearly 750,000. In 1934, asatisfactory increase was established over the preceding year, with81,000 in attendance. This organi-zation were most gratified to notea remarkable increase in atten-dance in 1935, which totaled 1,003,-526. Through an intelligent andsincere appeal by the Hankinsonorganization in 1936 the assemblageof racing fans created a new all-,high record with a gate register ofU55.000.

A total oi 31 large car raceswere sanctioned by the ContestBoard of the American AutomobileAssociation. 10 midget car raceswere conducted at the Phila. Sta-dium over the 1-4 mile track. Thetotal money paid to drivers in thecombination of the two series ofmeets amounted to $63,437.68,

front in the initial period and gar-nered twenty points most of whichwere made by Jiglowski and Kos-lowski. The Dux Club were lim-ited to two field goals and a ioulin the first period and scored onlyfour points in the second while theSt. Stephen's combination continu-ed their scoring spree with fifteenmore tallies. The Dux trailed by a3S-9 score at the intermission.

The St. Stephen team displayedan tair-tight defense in the thirdperiod and held the bewildered Duxclub to a single field goal. The Duxdefense was penetrated easily bythe fast-cutting Amboy team whoadded twelve more points to theirrapidly growing total. Only in thefinal period did the losers outscoretheir opponents. The TJ|x rangthe gong for eight markers whilethe winers trailed close behind withsix.

The beating was the worst theDux Club has received since theirorganization several years ago. Thelosers next game will be against thewinners of the second half playoffswhich will probably be the KeasbeyBombers.

Jiglowski paced the winners withsixteen points and was followed byKozlowski who tallied twelve be-fore the night was over. Leffler,Tyrell and Mayer scored all of theDux Club's points between them.Leffler was high man with eight.

Hi gang. Looked in our mail boxthis week and received an answerto the "crack" in my last weeks'column about "Muni" Deak beingonly the '"scorekeeper" and bench-warmer" on the Giants team. Theanswer came from the lad himselfdenying the above statements, andby the looks of the letter the ladwas pretty well riled up. There'stwo sides to every argument, and Iguess it's up to me to see that"Muni" has his say, so here's theletter:Dear Sir:

Refering as to who is the mana-ger of the "Giants" 'bowling teamkindly look at the contract and seewho signed it. Then We will seewho is the manager, and after thatthe letter writer ought to have hishead examined to see whether hematured or not. I thank you,

WOODBRIDGE. — The trip toWashington on the proposed sew-age disposal plant was very sec-cessful according to a statementmade by Township Attorney LoonE. McElroy this week. McElroywas occompanied on this trip uyLouis P. Booz, Jr., consultant en-gineer and C. R. Davis, Townshipengineer.

According to the Township at-torney there is a complete new jset of rules in seeking governmentaid for a municipal project,

"The policy still has to be de-termined, explained McElroy midthey really don't know what is go-ing to happen. The general concen-sus of opinion is that the WPAwill be united into an agency.

"All future applications will beconsidered on the basis of the re-lief load of the municipality mak-ing the application and its sur-rounding communities. As Wood-bridge, Perth Amboy and RaritanTownship have very heavy relielloads, Woodbridge Townshipwould be able to get considerablehelp from the federal govern-ment."

As conditions exist now, Wood-bridge Township will have to fin-ance the entire plant by floating abond issue and the federal gov-ernment will give its grant bypurchasing a part of the bond is-sue or cancelling some of thebonds.

McElroy said he consulted withColonel Clark, assistant adminis-trator of PWA.

John L. Lewis, labor leader;"If we can establish industrial

democracy in the United States,we can insure the continuance ofits political democracy."
