Alfred Fleming of New York told‘600 Texas firemen here Monday. The firefighters are attending the nineteenth annual Fireman’s Training School at the college. Of all fire deaths in the year ending May 30, ;.1948, 42 per cent were due to the!, inhalation of su perheated air, according to Flem ing, who is director of conserva tion for the National Board of Fire -Underwriters. Air, heated to as high a temperature a$ 1100 degrees fahrenheit, sears the lungs and kills quickly, • A fire in the basement may kill people on the second story, Flem ing said. The effect is only too easily seen in nightclub and hotel fires where deaths occur hundreds of feet from the 1 flames. One of the great dangeps 1s that this superheated air need not be smoky but may be absolutely clear. Proper design, with fire walls and fire doors, give greatest protection against this dangerous eated air, he sjaid. leming bracketed delayed qns with faulty construction as keeping firemen from having an “even ureak” in .fighting fires. Every building in\ which people congregate \should have an auto matic fire ahqm system, he said. 4 f ,v* )»> l ;j j- If Doraine Appear ai Horticulturist Commended for Work in Greece Number 1!> s Team f 1^' -A j |.i DORAINE RENARD am Sweethearts, will perform at be no admission charge since dents Activity Fee.

Serving as Assistant Chief of Staff in charge of personnel for the Fourth Army,~Colonel Boatner is now stationed at Fort Sam Houston. Colonel Boatner, a native of New Orleans, is another of the army’s officers who have risen v[rom private to general. He serv ed as a private in the Marine Corps in 1918 and 1919. In 1920 he eMered the U. S. Military Academy and was graduated " a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in ;the class 1924, progressing through all grades to Brigadier General on Novendier 1,| 1942. He reverted to his permanent rank of Colonel December 31, 1946. Colonel Boatner is a graduate Ernest Mortensen, horticul turist at A&M’s Winter Gar den Experiment Station, has been commended for his as sistance in rehabilitating the citrus and truck crop of Greece. Mortensen has just returned from a three months stay in Greece where he was on loan from the Agricultural Experiment Station as a truck crops specialist trainer to the American Mission for aid to that country. Dwight P. Griswold, chief, of the American Mission for aid to Greece, wrote Station Director R. D. Lewis' that effective use will be made of: Mortensen’s reccomenda- tions and contacts. '■ “Mr. Mortensen’s relationships with high officials of the Greek government were excellent,” Gris wold stated. “His visits to the cit rus and truck crop area of the country furnished a background upon which he based mapy valu able recommendations. His Report to the ministry of agriculture and technicians within his field yere well received.” \ The climate of Greece is parti cularly adapted to truck crop4»nd citrus production. Most of the growers of that country were cui off from recent developments dur ing the war and postwar periods. It was to bring their production in these fields up to date that Mort ensen was borrowed by the Ameri can government. r ^ , Doraine Rerurp Sweethearts vHll J i The main pail groups of Dorainn groups include the “Student Prince,” a ows And Classii TTO Ellik for Profit; ■ • • C : KUNZE : / ; Lpcas, America’s Sinj irmaneje at The Grove at 8 p. ^n. prograrp will center around fo ir s “Gostikmed Cameos”.

Do friends said they had no » >' • i ' 1 that he would ; accept the No. 2 spot on the tideet. In fact, some rebellious South erners were talking of Barkley for No. 1 man, largely because the 28-minute demon stration given him when he comp eted his keynote speech Monday night hasn’t been approached in enthusiasm since. Gov. Beauford Jester of Tex as said he had been approached by Kentucky and California del egates to support Barkley as the No. 1 man. Hi» reply: ‘Texas would be very^hiuch interested.” Dave Foutz, a golden state dele gate, said “California would go for him.” } Barkley insisted, however, 1 he would squelch ajny such move. £ The Cave is being equipped with new equipment to test or ptove it’s worth for use in the Memorial Center, Wayne Stark, Directoi of the Texas A&M Student'Memcfrial Center, said today.
