REINSDORF, Germany, June IA
EaZis, CRIME e-Streaked and grim, dug
into the ruins of the explosion-shat-
tered munitions works today to bring
out the bodies of the dead. variously
estimated to number from So to 1000.
Survivors of the devastating blasts
streamed from the town on orders
that it be evacuated.
FLAMES which followed the explo-
sions late yesterday added to the
destruction.
A rigid censorship, enforced by po-
lice rifles, was thrown about Reins-
dorf, huge munitions center and
therefore an integral part of Ger
manys rearmament program.
Naz officials said there we're So
dead, with rs seriously injured and
500 less, seriously hurt. But unoffi-
clal estimates placed the number
killed up to 1000.
Believes 1000 Killed.
The burgomaster told the Associ-
ated Press:
II think an estimate of 1000 killed
Is too many, but 1000 would be more
accurate"
Survivors, under strict orders not to
discuss the catastrophe with outsiders,
stood anxiously about in Wittenberg,
OF which Reindorf is a suburb, await
ing word from loved ones.
Otto Heidenretih. Nazi district
leader, speaking for the government,
said:
1T is out of the question for any
act of sabotage to have been COM
mitted. 1t was regrettable accident.
Our workers have been most carefully
sifted, so it was impossible for any
saboteur to have been admitted"
THE catastrophe" said Dr. Sommer,
the district governor, 'is laid to fire
IN a wash room which spread to the
explosives. One detonation sufflced to
scatter hot material and another and
smother followed with direful results. :"
All Roads Blocked.
All roads leading to the factory were
closed and telephone service was sus-
pended. Six foreign correspondents
who attempted to penetrate the area
for official information we're detained
temporarily by secret police.
Adolf Hitler and high NaZi officials
kept in constant touch.
The first explosion occurred at 8
pm. and was followed by a greater one
at $50 pm. Firemen fought desper-
stely. to keep flames from spreading
to other munition plants.
Physicians and nurses from through
out the district were pressed into
service. Almost every form of trans
portation was employed TO carry the
dead and wounded from the stricken
zone.
The munitions plant was working at
full force and some workers were
hurled through windows by the first
shock.
