New Fire Starts
In Texas City
■, ■■
TEXAS CITY <#*)—A warehouse
stored with ammonium nitrate, [
burst into flames here Tuesday,
seven days after the disastrous ex
plosions, caused by the same chem
ical, killed an estimated 575.
Deputy mayor John Hill said he
could not say definitely what
would happen, but that “an explo
sion could occur at any time.”
The cause of the fire was not
determined, but a Houston Chron
icle staffer at the scene said it
broke out shortly after 9:10 a.m.,
almost the same minute the Wed
nesday first blast occurred aboard
the French ship Grandcamp.
Huge clouds of smoke again ob
scured tragedy-torn Texas City.
The city was returning to nor
mal today when the new danger
occurred. The streets were jammed
with traffic, stores were open, and
the thread of life was gradually
being restored.

Bowles Gives Price
Reduction Plan
WASHINGTON, (>P) — Chester
Bowles, former OPA administra
tor, suggested today the appoint
ment of a voluntary price board of
business men to seek general price
reductions in industry.
Bowles advanced the suggestion
following a call on President Tru
man to congratulate him on his
speech to the annual Associated
Press luncheon in New York Mon
day.
Sen. Taft <R.-Ohio) commented
i meanwhile that the agreement of
U. S. Steel with the CIO for a $1
a day wage boost probably has
"tossed out the window” any real
chance to bring prices down.
Taft, who is chairman of the
Senate-House committee on the
economic report, told a reporter
that the big steel-CIO agreement
is likely to set a pattern for a sim
ilar wage increase that will pre
vent any substantial reduction in
the prices of manufactured pro
ducts.
Mr. Truman asked for “modera
tion” from business, “forbearance”
from labor, and an “all-out” ef
fort from the farmers to prevent a
boom-or-bust inflation in address
i ing the annual luncheon of Asso
ciated Press members in New
York.
