CITIZENS SUPPORT WAR ON ‘NUMBERS' Northeast Group Commends Newsgapers and Radio Stations. The “war” of newspapers and radio stations on the “numbers” racket was indorsed last night by the Northeast Citizens’ Association meeting at the Ludlow School. Evan H. Tucker, president of the association, pointed out that the| “numbers” game is a “detriment to| the morals of the city—especially lhe‘ children.” ‘The resolution passed states that the association fully endorses “the movement being carried on by the newspapers, broadcasting . companies and public officials for the suppres- sion of the numbers racket, and that we especially commend the news- papers and broadcasting companies for the omission of the race totals upon which the numbers are based.” Copies to Be Distributed. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the district attorney, corpora- tion counsel, the local newspapers and radio stations. Tucker introduced a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, ap- proving the Commissioners’ request for $150,000 appropriation for replace- ment of obsolete school furnaces throughout the city. Another resolution calling the at- tention of the Commissioners to the obsolete heating unit in the Edmends School was adopted. Tucker suggested that it be repaired for the present and replaced in the Spring. A letter from Kenneth P. Arm- strong, temporary secretary of the Joint Conference of Northeast Citi- zens' Association, was read, inviting the Northeast Citizens’ Association to join. A resolution was adopted declaring the association “in sympathy with any of their efforts” to improve the area, and promised full co-operation as long as the joint conference’s ac- tions are consistent with the associa- tion's views. The resolution declined membership to the group, however. Resurfacing Asked.

By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, December 11 —One fireman was killed, another was near death, and 11 were injured beneath falling walls in a five-alarm fire here last night. Caught beneath the brick and debris as three walls of the Atlantic Rag Co. factory crumbled, the injured were extricated with difficulty and rushed to_hospitals. Edward Ritmiller, 25, died of in- ternal injuries before he reached a hospital. Physicians held" little hope for ‘Thomas Fahe, 38, who suffered a fractured skull, broken leg, shock and exposure. The other 11 firemen were less seriously injured. Rags and wool waste kindled the fire in the four-story structure, which ‘was completely demolished. An esti- mate of the damage was not available. The walls crashed after the fire had been brought under control. Maharajah Buys Plane. ‘The Maharajah of Patiala has just added a 160-horsepower sport plane to his large private air fleet.
