Ave. _NA. 0619 Senafors fo Launch Army Camp Heating Invesfigation Reynolds Asks Officers And Others to Testify About Conditions Chairman Reynolds of the Senate Military Affairs Committee yester- day appointed a special committee to investigate reports of improper heating conditions in Army encamp- ments and cantonments. Armed with letters and telegrams, Senator Reynolds named Senators Wallgren, Democrat, of Washing- ton and Thomas, Republican, of Idaho, with himself as chairman, to “air the charges” of “inadequate and antiquated heating systems in- stalled in Army barracks.” Hearings will begin the first part of next week, Senator Reynolds stated. He has asked Army officers and civilians, many of them con- nected .with the medical, engineer- ing and ordnance corps to appear. Senator Reynolds said charges have been placed before the Military Affairs Committee that a number of American soldiers have been asphyxiated because of poor venti- lating systems recently installed. Infections Traced. Also, an epidemic of sore throats and serious nose infections have been traced directly to the breath- ing of coal gas and other obnoxious poisons through faulty outlets. Poorly trained personnel—soldiers made into firemen without proper apprenticeship—is partly to blame for this, he said. The North Carolina Senator said his office has received numerous complaints from Army officers, civilian employes at camps, soldiers IIQIIEATIDII ROOM_ADMIRERS T themselves, their families, and doctors who claim even the common colds suffered by the soldiers can be traced, in part, to lack of proper barracks. this Col. G. . Senator: “It is the usual practice to detail a soldier fireman to care for three or four furnaces during an eight-hour period. These firemen are instructed in the method of firing, but in many instances in the past furnaces have been operated in a careless manner. It is a common shortcoming among the soldier firemen to overfire the furnaces to reduce the necessity for frequent firing.” Exposions Reported. Senator Reynolds pointed out ! that, because of this practice, ac- cumulation of gas, which was sub- sequently - ignited, resuited in ex- plosions. “It's bad enough for a soldier to be killed in Fattle” the Senator said, “without endangering his life in training camps—before he gets to the firing line.” Most of the complaints have come from barracks in the North, he said.
