Gas Works Explosion
Kills 2, Injuries IS

EAsTON, Pa, Oct. 24-lR-A
terrific explosion followed by a
six-hcur fire destroyed large
portion of the Easton gas works
today, killing at least two per-
sons, injuring more than IS others
and cutting off gas service to the
Easton-Phillipsburg, N. j., war in
dustry area.
The blast, which occurred at
SILL a. M. (EWT), also damaged
homes and business structures
within wide radius of the gas
works. Most of the injured, in
Guiding a number of elderly per-
sons and small children, were in
their homes when the earth-shak-
ing blast occurred.
The dead were John Kepic of
Dunmore, Pa, a truck driver de-
livering gasoline to the plant, and
Henry Jordan of Easton, one of
three gas works employees in the
plant at the time. Jordan's body
was recovered late this afternoon.
Company officials, who reported
gas manufacturing equipment es-
capped serious damage, said serv-
ice could be restored to war
plants and other essential insti-
tutions within three days but that
the more than $4,000 residents
of the area probably would be
without service considerably long

Republicans Assured
Of Victory In 1914

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. -(P-
Harrison E. Spangler assured Re-
publican party workers and voters
today that they can count On
1914 election victory because, he
said, the COP now "is a unified
party looking to the future, as con-
trasted with the clashing, squab-
bling, disunited New Deal-Demo-
cratic party"
"The Republican party today is
the resurgent, dominant, victorious
party of the United States" said
the Republican national chairman
in attacking what he reported as
'feverish propaganda" by the
New Deal that the Republicans
have no hope of defeating Presi-
dent Roosevelt next year if the
war is still on.
Spangler expressed his views on
the presidential and congressional
elections next year in a memoran-
dunn to a party supporters to which
he attached graphs and maps show
ing what he called the "Republl-
can trend'' since 1928.

MOSCOW FARLEY
IN VITAL PHASE
Draft OF Specific Terms
On Agreements Now
Underway

MOSCOW, Oct. "a. - up - The
Foreign Ministers conference
moved today into the vital phase
of drafting in specific terms the
agreements to come out of the
fateful horsepower meeting.
The nature of these documents
on some of which agreement in
principle already has been reached
was not disclosed, but the veil of
secrecy over the conference lifted
enough to give glimpse of the
way the work is proceeding.
During the first week, it was
learned, U. S. Secretary of State
Cordel Hull, British Foreign Sc
cretary Anthony Eden, and For
eign Commissar Vyacheslav Molo-
TOW settled the agenda Of the
conference, and passed on to dis
cussions of points in principle.
Their experts, who held their
first separate meeting last night,
took over the task of putting these
points on paper while the minis
tiers continued their own dellbera-
tons.
Most members of the American
and British delegations took time
off tonight to see special perfor-
nance of the ballet, Swan Lake,
at the Bolshoi theater. Eden took
in the show, which is favorlte OF
the diplomatic corps, but Hull
spent the evening resting.

COAL STRIKES CONTINUE
Fire Threatens Beach 1
Area Sunday Mor1-
Mayor Cameron's Summer
Home Levelled In Pre-
Dawn Blaze

Fires that threatened the entire
north end Of Wrightsville Beach
were brought under control early
Sunday morning by Wilmington
firemen with the aid of the Coast
Guard and Wrightsville Beach fire
fighting units.
The summer home of Mayor
Bruce Cameron was completely
consumed when the local COM
pany of seven men and Fire Chief
]. Luddie Groom arrived. The
adjoining building, owned by E.
B. Bugg, proprietor of the Will
mington Hotel, was partially
ablaze and considerably damaged
before the fire was extinguished.
At SAB a. M. Postmaster John
son of Wrightsville Beach called
Chief Groom and asked for inme-
diate aid when the fire reached
such proportions that it was be-
You'd the capacity of the Wrights-
vile Beach fire fighting equip
ment. Chief Groom hurriedly dis
patched a company of seven men
and a truck with equipment and
rushed with his driver to the
scene.
A suction pump with ~ inch
intake was dropped into Banks
Channel and 1000 feet of 21a inch
hose was extended to the fire
which was brought under control
within As minutes from the time
of arrival Of the local company.
The Samuel Bear property on
the other side of Mayor Cameron's
home was at safer distance and
although smoking, was undam-
aged except for scorching. Furni-
ture which was hastily removed
was returned to the home early
Sunday.
Low wind velocity was an i'm
portant factor in preventing the
spread OF the fire along the beach
which contains many frame struc-
lures, Chief Groom said
Origin of the fire had not been
determined Sunday night.
In commenting on the fire Sun
day, Mayor Cameron said he was
unable to place an actual value on
the property as he had been
building on it for ten years and
had no actual inventory of its
contents. 1t is partially covered by
insurance.
Chief Groom expressed appreci-
alton for the valuable assistance
of the 20 Coast Guardsmen who
aided in bringing the fire under
control.
The local company returned at

d VOICE.
AS soon as hostilities cease, Ba-
doglio repeated, his task will be
finished, and he will surrender his
office.
With great clarity he touched
upon sequence of hitherto little
known events by which Benito
Mussolini alone committed Italy
to war in 1910 without the consent
or even knowledge OF his military
chiefs who knew the nations total
unreadiness for grand scale war.
It's an appalling record of cold
blooded decision to buy power with
Italian blood.
At that time Badoglio himself
was chief of the Italian General
Staff. He states firmly he knew
nothing whatever of Mussolini' S
commitment of the country to war
until too late even to attempt its
revocation.
Badoglio and the army obedient-
ly bowed to the higher authority S
order and went to war. In the sue
ceeding November, at the begin
ming of the Greek war, Badoglio
was dropped as chief of staff.
Thereafter he remained entirely
out of office and outside Mussol-
ini's Or the Fascist's confidence I'm
til last July.
One day after Mussolini was
forced out of office the King direct
ed Badoglio to assume duties as
the new chief of government.
The veteran soldier prepared
answers to a series of questions
submitted to him for a considered
reply, and also some spontaneous
remarks in amplifications of his
formal answers.
Outstanding in those observations
are the following:
Q) Liberation of Italy is the
prime need. All else is subordin-
ate. On this point the marshal de-
clares he speaks for all of Italy's
established political parties now

Artillerymen
By JANE EADs

CAMP DAVIS, Oct. 24-LR-A
slender young girl in flier's
zoot suit climbed with alacrity
into the big A-24.
With few def manipulations
she had the motor roaring, and
the giant propeller spun wide,
shining circle.
She held her head high. Her
face was tanned by sun and
weather. The wind blew her dark
curls straight back. She had the
air of serene confidence that dis
tinguishes filters.
The ship took off at speed of
30 miles an hour and soon was
a speck in the blue. Every few
minutes other ships were taken
off the ground by other Women
Airforce Service Pilots (WASP),
whose operations here represent
an integral part of the large pic
ture Of Army Air Forces and
ground forces cooperation in war
time tactics.
In little while these women
were to stage an exhibition of the
tasks they carry out daily.
First was a tracking" mission.
That means the pilots maneuver
their planes for the tracking
practice of anti-aircraft gunners,
who must follow the movement
of the planes with aim of guns.
The WASP take care of all track
ing missions here.
It's a complicated game of hide
and seek. When the girls go out
on mission, they are given a
course and destination and told
how high up they're to go. Some
times it will be long straight
course, sometimes a square or
rectangular pattern.
It's job which requires pa
tience and endurance as well as
skill. For the girls it's monoto-
nous, trying to keep to the course
to the right height and all. Usu'
ally they're up three hours at a
time.
There are night missions, too,
which require blind or instrument

rect hits on a large ship resem-

Buka in the Solomons.
A communique from General
Douglas MacArthur's headquarters
today said 20 planes caught on
the ground at the enemy strong
hold at Wewak were destroyed in
a raid by medium bombers. The
bombers swcoped down to an alti-
tude of less than 200 feet to bomb
and machinegun the airdromes at
Dagua and But. TWenty-eight enc
my craft rose to intercept. Three
were shot down and three others
listed as probables.
Four Allied fighters failed to
return.
Two cargo ships, each estimated
at 1000 tors, were sunk in the
harbor off WeWak. Another one
was damaged and is barges were
sunk or damaged.
Over New Britain long range
fighters destroyed a 2O0-ton cargo
ship southwest of Rabaul while
medium bombers hit the supply
dump areas at Gasmata and Cape
Hoskins.
The attack on the large ship
off Buka was made by a Liberator
bomber. Three direct hits were
scored. The bombs fell amidships,
causing large explosions and fire,
the communique said.
The ship was sailing in a small
convoy.
Allied fighters attacking Kahili
airdrome on Bougainville island
were intercepted by 20 enemy
planes, three of which were shot
down. One Allied plane was miss
ing.
Marked improvement in the
ground situation at Finschhafen
was noted.
