Explosion at
Arserl Kills
11, Injures 52
EDGEWOOD ARSENAL, Md., May
25--(P)-A terrific explosion that
wrecked two buildings caused the
deaths of 11 persons and injuries to
52 who were engaged in assembling
and loading two-pound igniter hand
grenades at the army's chemical war-
fare service headquarters today.
Nurses Rush to Seene
Eighteen of the injured were hos-
pitalized and three were in crititcal
condition under treatment of post
medical authorities and volunteer
civilian nurses who heard of the,
disaster and rushed to the scene to
aid. Thirty-four were treated and
returned to duty.
Maj. John D. McPherson, chief of
the Edgewood arsenal production di-
vision, said that about 135 workers
were engaged in the two structures i
preparing the so-called "balls of
flame" that serve as igniters for in-
cendiary gas tanks now being jetti-
soned from bombers on Japanese tar-
gets..
'Great Bll (if Flame'
McPherson said that he was about
a quarter of a mile from the build-I
ings around 3:20 p. m. EWT when he
"heard a terrific explosion and saw a
great ball of flame shoot into the air,
followed immediately by a pillar of
white smoke."
The officer said that he got to the
scene in about five minutes and that
"many persons already were trying to
rescue those trapped. Five post fire
companies under Capt. Clyde E.j
Woodman arrived promptly and be-
gan pouring water into the struc-
tures.
