EMPLOYMENT SERVICE NAME TO BE CHANGED TOMORROW Prompted by disclosures of gambling activities within county and city offices in Philadelphia, District Attorney Clarence Lawyer. has opened an investigation of ployes at the court house in York to learn whether any are engaged in such illegal operations. Announcing "there is nothing to indicate any gambling activity at Lawyer gave to newsmen the names of three county employes who he claimed have gambling records.

investigation is believed to be unprecedented irj county history. Lawyer said he felt since county and city employes of another city had been found engaged in gambling activity it would be wise to probe the York county offices to make certain no similar gambling rings were operating there. No reports of such activity have circulated recently, although it has been claimed that a few years ago at least one bookmaker and one numbers operator flourisned within the court house walls at York. The exact nature of his investigation could not be revealed. Lawyer said, because it would defeat the effectiveness of the probe The district attorney emphasized that he had no indication any of the three he listed as having rec- 'V f- i Owners start to dig out their cars stalled all night at Plymouth.

Philadelphia Hotel Swept By Fire After 100 Escape PHILADELPHIA. Feb 29 More than 100 persons fled to safety from a smoke-shrouded midtown hotel early today and a short time later flames swept through the seven-story structure despite the efforts of firemen from more than thirty companies summoned by a series of seven alarms. There were no fatalities in the blaze that wrecked the Clinton hotel, on Tenth street just south of Spruce street and only six blocks from City Hal! in the heart of Philadelphia Five hours after the blaze was first reported at 2 45 a. orange- red flames still were belching from the burned-out upper floors of the building. Firemen, working on the streets, from roofs of nearby buildings and from high aerial ladders, were pouring 23 streams of water on the building.

E. A Patrick, manager of the 180-room structure which adjoins the downtown nightclub section, estimated 75 per cent of the rooms were occupied when Night Clerk Joe Golde, 30. discovered the fire. Apparently it had been ering for some time near a linen room in the basement of the hotel, Patrick said. Heavy clouds of smoke swirled through the building but Assistant Police Supt.

Herbert P. Kitchenman reported Golden, Patrick and the first firemen on the scene had ample time to awake and warn the occupants before the fire became serious. First firemen to reach the building said an unidentified man and woman trapped by smoke in a seventh floor room were guided down the stairway to safety after a dangerous few minutes when the couple leaned from a window and threatened to jump. There was no immediate estimate of the damage, but firemen on the scene said it was impossible to prevent the almost, total destruction of the hotel building Location of the hotel, bounded on three sides by streets, and the absence of any strong wind prevented serious danger to other large buildings in the area. Roofs of several adjoining three- story apartments on Clinton street caught fire, and occupants of five such buildings w'ere evacuated.

Firemen reported that some tupe after the blaze was detected it appeared to have been brought under A York delegation flew to Washington today to meet with United States Post Office Department of! ficials and urged issuance of a spe- 1 c-ial postage stamp commemorating the 175th anniversary of t.he meeting of the Continental Congress in York. The delegation represented York civic organizations and included Congressman James F. Lind, who arranged the appointment. The Yorkers outlined to post office officials York's importance in colonial history and its significance as an industrial area during World War II and in the present defense production. Delegation members urged issuance of the stamp as a fitting recognition of York contribution to the founding of the government.

The Continental Congress met in York during the darkest period of the Revolutionary War. between Sept. 30. 1777, and June 27, 1778. OBITUARIES MFtS EDWARD J.

The Communists replied in almost equally strong language that "any such attitude of arrogance and arbitrariness will categorically rejected by our side." Col. Don Darrow told the Reds: I now tell you formally, unequivocablv and with the fullest authorization that the N. command decision to reject the Soviet Union as a member of the neutral nation supervisory commission is final and irrevocable Further debate on this subject is completely futile." He said the decision was absolutely firm and irrevocable. Under no circumstances will there be a change in the decision of the U. N.

(AP). The House faced a demand today for a clear-cut decision on universal military training UMT as debate entered its fourth day. Rep Kilday told the House in supporting a UMT bill yesterday either pass it or kill it." Both Chairman Vinson of the armed services committee, leading the fight for the bill, and Rep. Shgrt 1 0 heading the opposition. told a reporter they wanted the same definitive vote.

This means voting directly on UMT instead of sidetracking the issue by sending if back to committee. That procedure would put the measure on ice for this session, but it could emerge again. The present bill calls for compulsory six training of eighteen- year-olds, followed by 74 service in the reserves. It does not has specify a starting date or designate how many are to be trained. Several amendments are expected to be presented next week, including one to set a date for either the end of this phase of UMT or for a congressional review of the program.

A motion to send the measure back to the committee also is expected. This would permit congressmen to postpone action without taking a definite stand on the issue of UMT itself. 'This matter has been pending here for years and years," Kilday said. "If there ever was a proposition that was thoroughly studied, this one has been. Let's have this issue terminated." Short said in a House speech that, after debating UMT' for twenty years, he wanted now to "have it buried, without benefit of clergy."

WASHINGTON, FEB 29 Senate armed services committee today approved a cost-of-living increase for American servicemen. But it was a vastly different bill from the House-approved measure vyhich provided for a flat ten per cent pay boost.

Russell said the Senate bill would give 3.600.000 service private to general a three per cent boost in base pay and larger increases than voted by the House in allowances for food and rental to those with families or dependents.

Although the vote to send the bill to the Senate was unanimous, Russell said four or five committeemen wanted to limit increases to the allowances for subsistence and quarters and that some opposed any increase.
