Moscow Says School Fire No Accident |
LONDON, Dec 2 - (UPI) - Moscow radio said Tuesday the Chicago school fire was no accident because many American schools were firetraps. | “According to official data of the American education authorities, over five million American children attend school in buildings which are regarded as not safe from the point of view of fires,” the broadcast said. | The broadcast said it was significant that the U.S. Government “tabled in Congress a bill providing for a sum equal to only half of 1 percent of the allocations for military ends to be spent on new school buildings.” | The fire was the major foreign story in European newspapers Tuesday. Morning and afternoon editions in London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Lisbon, Madrid, Vienna, Stoockholm and Copenhagen put the story on the front pages, many with banner headlines. |
