Metric System Question Pope llp Again

CHICAGO, March 10 -- (AP) — A persistent question is popping up anew: _

“Why don't the British Empire and the United States join the rest of the world in using the metric system of weights and measures?"

Dr. J.'I', Johnson, president of the Metric Association, reports that such inquiries are being received in increased volume from scient- isls, educators and service men who havn been abroad.

Since the metric method was nc- cupied iii France in 1799. l! h!“ spread to all major territories cx- cept the British Commonwealth and the U.S. The gains have been noteworthy in the wake of wars. Germany, Austria-Hungary und their satellites adopted the system after the Franco-Prussian war, and Russia, China, Japan and Turkey after the First Great War.

Dr, Johnson, head of the Math- ematics Department of Chicago teachers college, says metric has these advantages:

i. Simplicity. The metric system has iliree basic units — metre (length), liter (capacity), gram (weight). The British and United States systems have many, includ- lng Inch, foot, yard, rod, mile, flllllfl, peck, bushel, ounce, pound, hund- redwelfht and ton. Then, the metre s as simple as the doil-ir -- 100 centimetres to a metre; 100 lo a dollar.

BY STUART UNDERHILL

BOLTON, Laiicashlre, England, March 1O — (OP Cable) —- This industrial centre of 177.000 popul- ation was a city of mourning to dsy 1n the Wake of Saturday's foot- ball stadium catastrophe which took 33 lives in the worst disaster in British sports history.

Eyewltnesses gave graphic ac- counts of "how a giant crowd, caught by cup-tie fever," equeez ed and trampled to death 33 per- sons and sent scores of others to hospital when two retaining bur- ners of a grandstand collapsed. Two of the dead were women.

As the barriers at Burden Park Stadium gave way before the eurg Lng crow , hundreds of screaming spectators were tumbled forward upon s ctators below and bodies were pl ed four deep,

The near-record crowd of 65.000 had jammed the grounds to see an English Football Asaodlatlon quarter-final match between Bolton Wanderers and Stoke Cit)’. The game, resumed after the tragedy, cndcd in a scoreless tie.

Chief Constable WJ. Howard "d

‘ the disaster, He said between 80.000 G

and 70,000 persona already had packed the stadium to witness a soccer cup tie game when several thousand persons forced their way into’ the stadium enclosure by IQHYIHI; down a fence.

‘These thousands created press. life by surging forward with the result that two of the steel barr iers _colla red." Mr. Howard added.

With t e collapse of these harr- iera, erected to restrain standing spectators, thousands tumbled for- ward to an equally-crowded lower tier befqre . . Some ever-e- cruslrad to dea against the steel barriers before they gave way, but the majority died in the frantic pile-up which resulted when the wave of pe la toppled on to the

spectators be ow,

Chests and heads of many of the victims were caved in. Bits of mm socks. coats. shirts and ties littered the area where the zici-ldeni: occurred.

Vince Williams, chief of the am. hulnncu SGTViCP at Bolton. 25 miles northeast of Liverpool, said most of the victims died of suffocation as their faces were pressed into 1h» mud.

"People all around me were go- ing black in the face and shouting hut no one could help them." said Harold Gllman, 42-year-old truck- rlrivor who was one of 500 slightly injured.
