School Disaster Cause
Not Yet Certain

CEVERAL investigations into the
- terrible explosion that destroyed
the fine London Community school
in east Texas and killed nearly 500
pupils and teachers were under
way, but at this writing the cause
of the disaster has not been deter
mined. The most plausible theory
was formed when D. L. Clark, field
foreman for the nearby Parade Oil
company, testified that the school
had been using wet gas from the
pipe lines Of the company. This is
a residue gas rich in butane, high
ly explosive compound Of carbon
and hydrogen, and it is considered
too dangerous for home use. Clark
said he first learned the school was
using the gas when he was notified
that Superintendent w. c. Shaw Of
the school wanted it shut off. School
employees said the change from
dry" to wet" gas was made
only a month ago on order of the
school board chairman. That gen.
tleman said the company knew of
the use Of the gas.
Information elected from wit
nesses indicated definitely that the
crushing explosion in the school
house had its origin in the air space
between the floor Of the one-story
wing of the structure and the
ground.
John Murrell, one time Army foot
ball player and all-American full
back, now an oil engineer, described
what he saw after the explosion.
He said many bodies were blown
