But It will in 1949, Old Moore's Almanac predicted. Old Moore's, hardy perennial in the field of prophecy, peered Into the future and set down Its forecasts for the 251st consecutive year. BY AND LARGE, Old Moore's sees 1949 as a pretty good year. There will be the usual earthquakes, rail and plane disasters, strikes and unrest, but there will be no war, the almanac says. "All the signs in the heavens above," reported Old Moore's staff of seers, "point to 1949 marking an era of worldwide recovery." The United States will not fare as well as most of the world, the almanac suggests.

Farrell have seen no unusual occurrences during their assignment, which has become monotonously bore-some to them. No sooner were the engines shut off at Tempel-hof than a truckload of German "stevedores" started unloading.

Five minutes later flour milled in Plainview, and Kansas City, was on its way to warehouses, and Capt. Loving and Lt. Farrell were on the home leg of their second round trip of 623 miles for the day.

Deputy City Marshal Henry Dipo said the child apparently crawled into the flames, when the truck tilted.

THE LADDER crashed into the hot corrugated steel wall of the fourth story. Strubank was thrown violently forward, but managed to hold on. He was not hurt. Firemen explained that the truck was in an uneven alley, parked on an angle, and that shifting of weight on the leaning ladder caused the truck to tip. A high wind tore at the corrugated steel sheeting covering the walls of the first four floors.

As the flames chewed through the wooden framework, loosening the sheeting, strips of steel were blown through the air, hampering the already beleaguered firemen. ONE SMALL fire was started at a near-by gasoline station and six other minor blazes damaged surrounding homes. Ironically enough, streams of water were being thrown into the burning malt plant from the top of an incompleted five-Btory steel structure which Kickel is building across the street.
