VIGNoN, France. April 90

A VIGNON, France, April 90
n Still glowing with the pride
"A Of its literary renaissance Of
4 \ the last century, when Mistral
celebrated its charms and
people in the Provencal language.
Provence is today one Of the most
distinctive regions to visit in France.
Its people are exuberant and warm
hearted. its scenery varies from the
mountainous region along the Riviera
to its hills where sweet-scented thyme
Is grown, and the marshy plains OF
the Camargue, delta Of the Rhone.
The most enjoyable way Of entering
Provence is by steamer down the
Rhone. The journey from Lyons to
Avignon lasts an entire day, and the
boat passes through scenery which
somewhat resembles that along the
banks of the Hudson. Avignon Is
famed as the city of the Popes. On q
hill dominating the city stands the
Papal Palace, where for over 10 years
Popes held court and all Europe came
In pilgrimages, filling the city with
dancing, festivals and professions.
Built as a great fortress, the palace
was nevertheless elaborately furnished.
After the Popes returned to Rome,
however, it suffered many vicissitudes,
serving one time as barracks.
The famous Bridge Of Avignon. on
which the old folk song says the peo-
pie used to dance, has Jared even
worse. It has been In ruin for $50
years and its crumbling arches now
reach only about half way across the
Rhone.

BY vote of so to 81, the Dis

condemning alleged "red batting"
within ranks of the AFGE, the
resolution being aimed at recent
charges by Internal Revenue mem

Claiming that the Internal Rev

asked endorsement and support OF

EQUIPMENT
FAILED
P. u. c. Engineer Says
Better Insulation
Is Needed

Failure of the protective cleo.
trical switch at the Treasury De.
partment to properly operate was
blamed today by Fred A. Sager,
chief engineer of the Public Utili-
ties Commission, for the explosion
August Is in front of the Wash.
ington Post building which tore
up the sidewalk and severely
burned a passing woman pedes-
train.
The safety switch in the Gov
eminent Department, he reported,
delayed it's action for six minutes,
and in that time the heat and gas
generated by a leak in the cleo
trical transformer in front of the
Post building was sufficient to
cause the explosion.
Could Have Been Prevented
Mr.. Sager stated that the
trouble originated in the trans
former, but that the explosion
could have been prevented if the
Treasury switch had operated
properly.
While all other safety devices
connecting The Post transformer
to the city's electrical system func.
toned to cut off the flow of power
to the faulty transformer, a "back
feed" of power continued to flow
from the Treasury, and the ex-
plosion resulted.
However, Mr.. Sager declared,
the primary cause of the blast was
a faulty secondary coil in the
transformer. The coils are i'm
mersed in protective pool of oil.
The engineer advocated the use
of more rigid type of insulation.
He said:
FIRST BLAST OF KIND
''In this case, since the pro-
tective devices at the Treasury
did not operate and since the
high potential was still main
tanned on the transformer ter
minalS, and the vapOrS which
had formed on the lower part
of the transformer by the short
of the high-tensiOn coil to
ground reached the surface of
the oil at the high.tenSiOn ter
minalS of the transformer, the
arc between these terminals was
established, resulting in destruc-
tive explosion and damage to
the transformer case. In my
opinion, dangerous explosions
will occur when short circuits
occur in coils near the trans
former terminals not insulated
by some type of rigid insulta-
ton"
Mr.. Sager stated that the ex-
plosion of the transformer here
is the first of it's kind to be re.
ported since the manufacturer be.
gan making that particular type
