Mike O'Brien, Detroit, toured the building yesterday with flit officials. Knox and O'Brien were both overwhelmed with the damage done to the entire building and especially by flames on the mezzanine and seventh floors. The building is still cooking and expanding, causing the structure to contract and further endangering many walls and ceilings. The pressure is concentrated on the rear areas of mezzanine and seventh floors and there may be further collapses. Meanwhile, an outside lift has been i carry salvage equipment from upper floors.

Oftices up to fourth floor have been mopped and cleaned of debris. Falling plaster still endangers workers and employes must wear old air raid headgear and helmets supplied by the national guard. 'A fire still burns on mezzanine 4 floor which has been nicknamed "hell" because of the steam pouring out of the dark stretches of corridors and storerooms where flames were hottest.

-Further senate debate is expected today on the used car i transfer proposal which ran into its baptibin of fire yesterday on the upper chamber floor. The bill, sponsored by Sen. George X. Higgins, Fermlale, would raise an estimated SOO.OOn in revenue a a A behind-the-scenes hoise trade was hinted as forces plugging lor a two cents per gallon hike in state gasoline taxes for highway purposes to use the car transfer scheme as a wedge to pry the gas lax bill from Higgins' taxation. i i previously had announced taxation committee which he heads would not eport out the gas tax measure for several weeks but he conceded yesterday that the committee may alter its position.

As now proposed, the used car lax revenue- would go for highway purposes rather than into the gen- oral fund. This feature bumped into widespread senate opposition, however. Sen. Elmer R. Porter.

Bliss- Held, chairman of the senate appropriations committee, refused to estimate state budget needs for the next fiscal year at this time. but he did advocate channeling of the used car a revenue into the general fund and said if the measure is adopted, it might obviate need for added general taxes to overcome state deficit. Higglns said he would not oppose use of used car taxes in the general fund but originally proposed their assignment for road purposes to cut down new levies on motorists to raise 136 million a year demanded by the Good Roads Federation for an expanded highway program. The Higgins proposal would impose a three per cent tax on every used car sale. Higgins said that his plan is a "loophole plugger" to tax car sales which now escape the sales tax levy.

He said chiselers now evade taxation by title jumping in car sales. Higgins said 745,000 used cars were sold in Michigan last year and of that number 29S.OOO transactions escaped taxation although others did not. Debate over the title transfer tax also raised constitutional ques- lions from the senate floor and fears that the measure would be attacked in the courts. Further consideration of the measure was postponed until to- day when several members indicat- 1 ed plans to offer amendments, including one to earmark the revenue for the general fund rather than the highways. Higgins' proposal passed the senate a year ago but failed to win- house approval by a narrow margin.

Governor Williams already has expressed opposition to the bill. i Meanwhile the senate judiciary committee reported out a constitutional amendment plan to permit payment of the state's $500 death benefit to kin of veterans killed in the Korean war. The amendment extends coverage provided by the state's Woild 11 veterans bonus act. Although previously approved in the house, the jiulicary committee revised the amendment proposal completely to correct technical flaws.
