explosion took place. It blew
the basement door right out of
Williams' hands.
Fire followed the blast, fill¬

dense, acrid smoke. The "Smoke
and fumes sent scores of grad¬
uate students to emergency
exits and down fire ladders.
Only custodians and gradu¬
ate students were in the build¬
ing at the time. Fortunately
this was an “off day” for the
students as it was the break
between quarters. Normally
hundreds of students and in¬
structors are in the building.

still they were hampered in
battling the blaze due to the
intense heat and fumes from
the chemicals.
_ Four firemen ,. were overcome
in re,, the 40-minute fight fiorn to quell m,„n
flames which spread through¬
out te building.
Among those injured were
Steven i Tony) Bland, 4, son of
Mrs. Nellie Bland, Howard di-

They were all carried to Freed-
men’s ho e pital for treatment.
The chemical blast brought
two fire alarms to the scene,
one arriving about 1:20 p. m.

pieces of fire fighting equip¬

The firemen from the rescue

blasts occurred -were demol

Fire Chief Millard Sutton re¬
ported that a large quantity of
TNT—enough to “blow up this
side of town”—was stored in a
room a few feet from the spot
where the four men were killed.
The door to this storeroom
was blistered by the explosion.
The four dead men were
burned almost beyond recog¬

janitors were moving were con¬

had been on hand since World

janitor, said the cans started
