Social Security
(By The Associated Press'
JUNEAU, March 20, — Urg-1
ing economy in considering the
costs in connection with Social
Security, and recommending that
no other legislation be consider
ed until the social security has
been disposed of, Governor Troy
I
sent his message to the extraor- j
dinary session of the Legislature
Friday, after it had formally been
convened by Secretary of Alaska
Griffin.
The officers of both houses
were re-elected, as well as at
taches.
The Governor’s message said,
that while participation in the
social security act must be ade
quate, he urged the legislature
to keep the cost as low as poss
ible, compatible with full partic
ipation, with the suggestion that
no minimum amount for old age
allowance be set forth in the law
to be made, so that the board,
which is to have individual char
ge of the administration of the
act, may have full leeway to meet
each case according to its circum
stances and needs.

Dr. E. P. Schoch, chemistry
professor of Texas University,
said: “It’s simple. The walls fill
ed with gas, and had no other
exit. Then a spark set off the
gas and the walls burst. The con
dition of the children's bodies
bears out the contention they
were blown to death and not
burned.”
The Tyler, Texas Morning Tel
egraph, a newspaper, quoted Cap
tain Z. E. Coombes of the mili
tary court as saying that two oil
field workers brought him what
they contended was evidence that
1 nitroglycerine caused the blast
in the school. The men told him
