Selves
Hospital Patients Alarmed
No damage resulted from the
blasts, apparently part of a cam
paign of terrorism, and their loca-
zion was not found.
First of the explosions at 2:30 this
was in the northwest sec
ton of Sullivan, near the home of
Charles o. Fox, which was bombed
earlier in the week.
The second at $3.50 was in the
northeast section and the third at
AIS in the southeast part.
Patients in the Mary Sherman
hospital and residents generally were
awakened by the first blast, heaviest
of the three. Art DOME, living in
the northwest section, expressed the
belief that dynamite was used to
cause the blast, which he said was
followed by a cracking noise.
Il Grabbed My Head"
THE explosion was so strong
grabbed my head" Ernest Cum
mings, neigphor Of DOME, said.
Sullivan police who investigated
after the first blast, did not report
to military authorities at headquar-
tiers in Shakamak state park, and
the first report they had of the
blast came from newspaper men.
Immediately on receiving the re-
port, General DePrez sent twenty
troops, armed with three subma-
chine guns, to Sullivan, and Major
Earl Weimar came to take com
mand. Shortly afterward he was
joined by his superior officer.
DsPrez conferred with rerre-
sentative Sullivan business men to-
day, who assured him they would
cooperate in efforts to quell dis
order.
Patrol Work Started
Road patrol work was started This
soon after the blasts and
many motorists we're halted. Two
parties of men in two cars we're
stopped.
Military authorities said the cars
contained shotguns and the occu-
pants said they had been hunting
squirrels. A guard sergeant was
placed in each car who saw that the
men went to their homes.
