least one man was seriously injured

sing following a terrific blast a

here today.
The blast was SO heavy that the
shipping district was shaken for a
district of blocks. a oneton hatch

Of the Helen Olmstead, was the in
jured man. He was given emergen-
cy treatment for critical burns and
bruises.

u am opposed fundamentally to
capital punishment, she said. "I
think it has failed and there is no
reason to continue Il practice that
is so terrible However, as long as
it is a law, think it should apply
alike to men and women criminals.
