WARERLSE FIE BOVLS OVER20 100 New York Firemen Overcome or Injured Fighting Blaze. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20.—Dense clouds of acrid smoke from a ware- house fire bowled over more than 200 persons on both sides of the East River today and halted service on one subway line between Brooklyn and Manhattan for nearly three hours. More than 500 firemen, massed | around the burning warehouse on the Brooklyn water front by an emer- gency call of seven alarms, settled down tonight for an all-night siege as the blaze ate its way through stores ©f rubber, creosote and paper. Broadway-Seventh avenue subway, 125 | persons were treated by ambulance surgeons and police emergency crews &t the Manhattan end. 43 Sent to Hospitals. Thirty-seven of the smoke victims | were sent to Beekman Street Hospi- tal, where an emergency ward was established, and six more went to| Broad Street Hospital. Several cases | were described as serious. | 1In addition, more than 100 firemen | were overcome or injured by bursting | hose lines and back-draft explosions | at the scene of the blaze. Apartment house dwellers poured | into the street, gasping for air, as| the heavy smoke spread over a wide | area in the downtown sections of both boroughs. Walls Near Collapse. A police cordon, directed by Com- missioner Lewis J. Valentine, was thrown around the blazing warehouse 200 yards in all directions as the walls threatened to collapse. Service in the Clark street tunne!..t which carries the seventh avenue line of - the Interborough Rapid Transit| under the river was suspended in mid- | afternoon when the smoke obscured signal lights and caused near-panic conditions among the passengers. Trains were rerouted through another tube. Before the tunnel was closed hun- | dreds of passengers had emerged gasping and tear-blinded from the Wall Street Station after the ride under the river from Brooklyn. In- halators and oxygen tanks were rushed to that area and most of the sufferers T ckly revived. 'eoenqul o(yt.he blaze was attributed | tentatively to spontaneous combustion. e D BROOKINGS’ N. R. A.

Marshall, member of the| N. R. A. Governing Board, was listed among the contributors to the report. | Richberg sald it was “interesting to | learn” from Brookings’ stafement | that Marshall had contributed only | to the “factual content” of one sec- tion, and that George Terborgh alone | was responsible for the conclusions “widely published as a joint state- | ment of seven economists.” ! Long Been Critic. ‘Terborgh, he said, had long been a “yirulent critic of the N. R. A.” Rich- berg continued: “The sum and substance of his eco- nomic theory is stated flatly in the concluding paragraphs of Mr. Ter- borgh’s last chapter, where he writes | that ‘anything which tends to freeze the wage and price structure stinl| further against necessary * adjust- ments in a downward direction makes | more difficult the stabilization of busi- ness at a level of full production and full employment.’ * * * “In plain English this is the old deflation theory of ‘recovery’'—naked and unashamed. Cut prices to the bone and cut wages to starvation levels and after all the little fellows have gone bankrupt and labor is willing to work at any wage, capital will start & rush for fat profits and business will Tevive, * * ¢+ . “But, if economists of his faith be- | Heve that the people of the United Btates will accept such a program, it should be offered candidly—not under cover of a political argument that N.R. A. isa ‘failure,’ but as a demand that the American people reverse their entire program of recovery * * * to find that ill-balanced prosperity of the last century when huge fortunes ‘were being made out of the underpaid, overworked toilers on the farms and in the cities.” | Such a reversal, Richberg said, | would lead “down to the brink of, or over the verge, of revolution.” American people to follow them.” Held on Swindle Charge.
