Falling Timbers
Kill Fireman In
Death Spreads
Gloom Among
Fellow Workers
OKLAHOMA CITY, Apr! 28-H/P)
—It Just doesn’t seem like the
same place.
That was the comment Friday
from a fire department buddy of
23-year-old Dan H. McQueen, who
was fatally injured fighting a fire
Thursday night at the Harrison
Builders Supply company.
”Dan never stopped a minute."
said Rex Duggan, engineer at No. 9
engine company. “He was full of
pep. going all the time. Nobody was
ever a stranger to him.”
First Death in Years
No. 9 engine company was quiet
Friday morning.
McQueen, who died of a broken
neck when timbers fell on him and
two others, became the first-line-
of-duty fatality in the department
since Jan. 30. 1943, when fireman
J. C. "Hap" Campbell was stricken
by smoke in a fire at a mattress
processing concern.
And Campbell's death had come
about 11 months after Ben L.
Moore, fireman, was hit and killed
by a car as he rolled up hose after
a blaze. That was on March 2. 1942
McQueen's wife. Mrs. Lila Mc-
Queen, and their 2-year-old son.
Tony, are eligible for a full pen-
sion. according to Chief G. R. Mc-
Alpine.
McQueen Not on Duty
“The pension board will have to
pass on it,” he said, "but it’s likely
Dan's family will get the full
amount.” That’s half the salary,
which in Dan's case was (220 a
month.
The blond. Irish McQueen was
off duty at the time of the blaze
Thursday night. However, when the
second alarm came in, he was sum-
moned. as were all others. The
$150,000 blaze was a taree-alarm
fire, which meant there were nine
engines, two trucks and two squads
at the scene.
A general alarm would have
brought out all 16 engines of the
department.
The alarm was turned in about
dusk. Within about 10 minutes, 18
pieces of equipment, every avail-
able fireman an dan unwieldy
crowd of spectators had answered
the catl.
Cause Not Determined
Origin of the blaze was not de-
termined. Two-thirds of the 150-
foot east wall of the blazing struc-
ture collapsed on firemen. Then the
roof fell in. Smoke was blown into
the downtown sections of the city
in choking billows.
Dan was in a happy mood on the
way to the fire, related Duggan.
"He had bought a cake,” Duggan
related. “He asked Ward and me
(Captain Frank Ward) to share it.
The captain said, 'I don't believe
well have time to eat it.’
"We arrived at the fire, and Dan
said, 'It sure is a’goin’. Let's go
get 'er,'”
Others Recovering
Two others, injured when Me
Queen was caught, were recuperat-
ing in city hospitals Friday. Rich-
ard H. Dubois. 40, fireman, is at
No. 7 station, suffering badly tom
ligaments in the leg and an injured
arm.
Captain J. O. Morrison, also of
No. 7 station, is at St. Anthony hos-
pital with a broken hip. He was to
undergo surgery sometime today.

Joliot-Curie Fired As

PARIS, April 28—(A*)—'The French
government today fired Commun-
ist scientist Frederic Joliot-Curie
as chief of France's atomic energy
commission and ousted him from
the government's institute of scien-
tific research.
He was dismissed on the basis
of his recent statements to the I
gennevilliers congress of the French
Communist party, where he pledged
that Communist scientists would
never contribute their genius to “a |
war against the Soviet union."
The cabinet decision, following
much public clamor, was announced |
by Pierre Henri Teitgen, minister I
of state. Teitgen quoted Premier
Georges Bidault as telling the cab-
inet:
"For all the scientific merits of
this scientist, his public statements
and his unqualified acceptance of
resolutions voted by the gennevil- J
liers congress of the Communist
party made it unpossible to main-
tain hint in his functions of high
commissioner for atomic energy."
The action was effective imme-
diately.

prize winner in chemistry in 1935.

Field Denies
Spying Claim
Testimony Heard By
Senate Investigators
WASHINGTON. April 28 —UP)~
Frederick Vanderbilt Field swore
today he is not a "Soviet espionage
agent" but refused to tell Investi-
gators whether he is a Communist.
Field also told a senate foreign
relations investigating sub-commit-
tee he had never attended a Com-
munist meeting with Owen Lattl-
more and had never said that Lat-
timore or his wife were Commun-
ists.
Field was called as a witness be-
cause of testimony the committee
got last week from Louis F. Bud-
enz, former Communist editor.
Budenz said Field had told him
that Lattlmore, a Johns Hopkins
university professor, was a Com-
munist. Budenz also said that Field
himself was a soviet agent.
The committee is Investigating
charges from Senator Joseph Mc-
Carthy (Republican, Wisconsin)
that the state department is in-
filtrated by Communists. McCarthy
has made Lattlmore, sometimes a
consultant to the department, the
central figure of his charges by say-
ing he is willing*“toNfiiid of fall
as to his charges on the Lattlmore
case.
Lattlmore himself has denied the
charges and called the senator a
“unmitigated liar.”
Field was the second man to dis-
pute Budenz' testimony about Lat-
tlmore. Yesterday, Earl Browder
denied that he had ever told Bud-
enz that Lattlmore was a Commun-
ist, as Budenz had testified.
6. No detached garage may be
built on the front one-half of a lot
unless set back at least 20 feet
from the rear house line.
