New London, Texas, March 90
(AF)-Burial of it's 455 school blast
victims occupied this village of death
today while the full force of a mill
tary inquiry sought the cause of the
catastrophe of it's kind in modern
times.
Soon after sun-up, the great pro-
cession of funeral began. From
churches, private homes and funeral
chapels hearses streamed to burial
grounds. Volunteer ministers from
over the vast East Texas oil region
performed continuous services with
almost clocklike precision.
To a barnlike school hall adjoining
the ruins of the once imposing school
building, military court headed by
Major CASTOR Howard summoned
more than a score of witnesses who
it was hoped could explain the cause
of the tearing explosion.
1--WE are not here to conduct a
criminal court" Major Howard said.
1--WE merely want to help by trying
to find out what caused the explosion,
and thus possibly do something to
prevent such future disasters"
d. E. p Schoch, an explosion ex-
pert from the University of Texas,
was called upon to give a final OPP
inion on the cause of the blast at the
close of the hearing. He had said
there was no doubt natural gas had
seeped into hollow tiles in the school
walls, converting it into veritable
bomb.

OUTLOOK SLIM FOR

Washington, March 2O-The chances

not a bit promising.
There will be some legislation but
not of a sort to guarantee neutrality
Maybe American neutrality, in the
event (more than probable, too) of an
other big war is absolutely impossible
to guarantee, anyway Pending talk
on Capitol Hill, however, does not fur

hope of it.

Nevertheless, the very prophets of
the conflict did not believe that it
really would eventuate.
The powers prepared for it, but the
fact was that few if any statesmen
actually expected it. They fancied
that peoples were too advanced for so
insane a struggle; were convinced, in
the back of their minds, that the pro-
fession of arms was an anachornism.
U. S. IN?-IMPOSSIBLE!
For all that, the war started.
