OuiIaWed Curb Gas Tanks
Called sIOck.EBISlerS
Council Probes City's
Failure TO Move Them
After Blast Hurts Boy
By HAROLD sCHACHERN

Charges that the Office OF the
Detroit budget director stopped
the expenditure of funds 10 re-
move dangerous gasoline tanks,
formerly used in connection with
the now outlawed curb gas pumps,
from beneath Detroit sidewalks
have been aired before the COM
mon council by DPW Commis-
Sloner Walker.
One Of these tanks, AT Grand
River and LahSer, exploded last
Saturday seriously injuring a To-
year-old boy. Walker, summoned
10 the council 10 explain why the
tank had not been removed or
filled with sand as ordered BY the
council, said.
paul Wcitzman, now retired
but who formerly was in charge
of our permit division, tells me
that the department began re-
moving these tanks before I
became commissioner. He told
me that, before the job was
finished, however. the budget
bureau began refusing To honor
-requlsitinns- for funds TO carry
on the work.
LIKE BLoCKBUSTERS
"After I came into the Office
- the council again, this time by
ordinance, ordered these aban-
dOned tanks removed. Our rec
ords on 995 OF these tanks were
marked removed assumed
that meant both gas pumps and
tanks removed Now, 1 suspect
they hadn't enough money to
remove the tanks and only re-
moved the pumps.
-"Now we will have TO survey
all 995 of those sites and re-
move any tanks left. They are
a real danger. IL Is just like
having blOckbuster buried i'm
your front yard"
Budget Director David V. Addy
said he had no recollection or
record Of his department denying
such acquisitions.
The only record / can find."
Addy said, 'is of an audit made
by the controllers office In
which there was disagreement
between the auditors and the
DPW on how much money was
required for the job.
LIGHTED MATCHES
"It might be that the ap-
preparation was cut and the
work stopped when the DPW
ran out of money. In a case
like that, 1 can't understand
why the DPW wouldn't go to
the council and ask for more
money, rather than just stop"
Meanwhile, James r. Walsh.
assistant corporation counsel, said
Investigations by his office had
revealed that the injured boy,
Hubert Kline, 10. of 15437 Hey
den, had been lighting matches
and had thrown one in the direc-
tlon Of the exposed tank cap.
Either the cap on the tank
had come off or fumes had
leaked mp through the pave

roared overhead and headed toward the south coast. The thunder of their engines again was heard at dawn when they returned.
 The raid by British-based RAF bombers coincided with a mounting offensive against southern and cen tral Italy by American and British planes from African bases and lent new emphasis to Prime Minister Churchill's warning of July 27 that Italy would be scared, scared and blackened from one end to the oth- CT" until she surrendered
 European dispatches indicated that the offensive was bearing fruit in renewed popular demands that the Badoglio government accept the Allied offer of an honorable un- conditional surrender"
 A London Daily Mail dispatch from Geneva said official German circles expected Italy to capitulate at "any moment" while an Algiers broadcast quoted the secretary of the Italian embassy in Turkey that Italy would be out of the war "in 10 days"
 Second in Six Days
 Last nights raid was the second in six days. RAF planes smashed power stations, war factories and communications at Milan, the royal arsenal city of Turin, and Genoa, Italy's second largest port, with loss of two planes.
 Sweeping at least 600 miles across occupied Europe and soaring almost to the stratosphere to clear the Swiss Alps, the bombers. arrived over northern Italy last night shortly before midnight and a Swiss broadcast said the air alert in Milan lasted until l :45 a. m.
 The raid began with the release of a shower of parachute flares over the city, Illuminating the factories and streets below as by day. Then tens of thousands of bombs ranged from four-ton super block busters to tWo-pound incendiaries poured down on the city, Italian frontier reports said.
 Fires leaped up before the last flares had f1ickered out, reports said.
 Heavy Anti Aircraft Fire
 In marked contrast to last Sat- urday's raid, frontier dispatch sad, the bombers encountered very heavy anti-aircraft fire. Watchers on the Swiss side of the border re- ported that two planes exploded when hit by anti-aircraft shells.
 Axis broadcasts pictured the de- vastation wrought by African based planes on Naples.
 A German Transocean Dispatch from Naples said the city hardly was recognizable. German and Ital- ian soldiers and Naples flremen were reported digging day and night in the ruins to release trapped inhab- itants and recover the bodies of the dead.

dead?" asked Corporal Rhodes.
 T felt of his pulse and listened to his heart-and I couldn't feel anything" Ferrand was quoted.
 The youth then was quoted as saying he hauled the body from behind the wheel and. with it in the car, drove along Route 24 until he found a clearing in the woods with a stonewall nearby. Behind the wall he placed the body, he was quoted.
 Ferrand said he then drove some 200 miles to Massachusetts and ar rived at the home of friend in Harvard Wednesday night. Police Sought Him Although he remained there only few minutes. Police Chief Ray mond Feltus of Harvard learned he was in town with stolen car and tried to apprehend him.
 There ensued a 75-mile an -hour police chase to the Littleton- Box ford line, where Jordan's coupe was demolished against tree.
 Ferrand fled afoot and sought refuge in barn where he remained until this morning. Hunger drove him from his hide out and he walked to Action where he obtained food at house. The party who gave him the food was suspicious of his appearance and telephoned police, who seized him on a highway a few minutes later.
