Fifteen Of the injured were fire

that followed the first explosions.
Flaming oil shot 100 feet in the air
when the first blast occurred as 100

A hot rivet was blamed for the first
explosion. The dock was built in Eng

The first explosion ripped the for

CONGRESS PUSHES
FOR ADJOURNMENT
Relief For Unemployed is Final
Big Issue Still to be
Disposed of

Washington, June l7-(P-Aggres-
sively clearing away the mass Of leg
islation awaiting enactment. congress
pushed on Friday toward disposal Of
its final big issue-relief for the un-
employed.
Indications pointed to action on
this troubled question in the senate
Saturday, with major struggle in
sight on whether to authorize an is
sue of bonds for further public works.
The senate bill, sponsored by Demo-
Gratis, calls for $500 100000 of such
bonds. President Hoover is opposed
to any. The house, by adoption of
the Garner bill, is recorded for an
outlay Of $1,000, 100000. Senator La
Toilette, the Wisconsin Republican
Independent, demands a five-and-a-
half billion-dollar bond issue.
This variety Of viewpoints made
unlikely any success for the deter
minedly sought agreement on a COM
promise acceptable to the admins
tration.
The economy bill was still dead
locked in conference, with no indica-
ton how the issue would finally be
solved.
Some conferees said agreement ap-
|peared hopeless.

Statements credited to Arthur M
Hyde, secretary of agriculture, at Chi

situation.
His statement to the effect that
grasshoppers are now in the state
that 1t would take three weeks to gel
effective control measures under way
and that it is therefore useless to at
tempt to get federal aid, was chal-
lenged.

Great Disaster Looms
B. e. Groom of the Greater North
Dakota association said he had travel
ed extensively over the northeastern
part of the state and that. in his opin-
ion, the whole eastern section of the
state has sufficient hoppers to cause q
great disaster this fall.
He urged every effort be made by
farmers to get up large supply OF
forage feed now while 1t Is abundant
so the territory may be safeguarded
against the possibility Of q shortage.
One of the serious situations that
may arise is a devastation of corn
fields this fall after the grain Is cut
when the hoppers II as abundant as
now feared, would move In on these
crops and destroy them as they did In
South Dakota last year.
