Texas City Ablaze
From Explosions
GALVESTON. Texas. (T)-T\vo
terrific explosions at Texas City,
12 miles across the bay from thi<
island city, rocked the Texas coast
for miles today. The Red Cross
said the explosions were aboard
the City of Rouen, a French ship
reportedly filled with nitrate and
cotton. These in turn set off n
number of o'her explosions along
the dock area
In a frantic appeal for “all pos
sible aid,” Police Chief W. F. Lad- ]
d.sh said “a holocaust” was raging
in Texas City. Texas City has sev
eral large oil refineries.
The Houston, Texas, Chronicle
said it had been informed that at
least 75 were killed and hundreds
more injured in the explosions.

Record Flight
(Continued From Paye < *ne
tions for your excellent perform
ance.” Hughes and his four crew
members had taken their mono
plane around a route, shorter by
some 5,200 miles.
“The Bombshell” averaged about
254 miles an hour on its 20,020
mile flight. Taking into account 16
hours and nine minutes lost in its
nine stops, the big plane averaged
about 318 miles an hour while in
actua4 flight. Reynolds told report
ers that the last leg of the flight,
from Edmonton, was the “toughest
part” and he “was worried sick"
when they flew through ice and,
fog between Minneapolis and De
troit.
London Gets
Bomb Scare
LONDON, (/l*) — Scotland Yard
officers rushed to the war office
late today following a telephone
threat that the building was to be
blown up—a threat that came a
few hours after a home-made
bomb, timed to explode this morn
ing was found in a branch of the
Colonial office. However, the po
lice were unable immediately to
link the telephoned threat with the
actual leaving of explosives at the
Colonial office, possibly in retalia
tion for the hanging of convicted
underground agent Dov Bela Gru
ner at dawn today in Balestine.
A colonial office spokesman said
the blast attempt was “part of the
Jewish terrorist activities against
this country.”
