In the wake Of unprecedented

Criticized by both Oakman and

fiscal year budget of SlS5, 455, 148.

proved figure Is expected 10 top
the l944-45 sum by S1l,000.000.

Oakman said, may be shouldered
by the state If the Legislature APP

TT CAN HAPPEN HERE

The following is a list of several serious accidents that have oc cured at other Air Force installa- tions which can happen here at Bradley Field if proper precautions are not taken.
 Lack of a Protected Lamp was the probable cause of a recent seri- ous fire at an AAF unit. An en- listed man, newly assigned to the field, had been given the task of re- moving the fuel and booster pump from a B-26 engine. To illuminate the work area, he was using 5O- foot electric extension cord, with a light globe not of the explosion proof type. When he removed the booster pump, gasoline flowed over him and the extension light. The lamp broke, causing a fire which destroyed the hangar and two planes and damaged six other planes. The enlisted man died of burns.
 Corrective precaution-Use only extension cords equipped with va DOT proof or explosion proof globes and metal guards.
 Danger from Gasoline is illus trated by a recent accident report ed from an Army Air Force. A S/Sgt. and Pfc. were repairing their automobile and during the process they washed the used tools and the upholstery with gasoline. Static electricity must have been generated, possibly from the tools or from rubbing the upholstery, and an explosion resulted. The S/Sgt. was severely burned, and the burns received by the Pfc. were so serious that his death occurred 15 hours later.

Corrective precautiOn-Do not use gasoline for cleaning purposes.

 The worker who suffered the in- jury had been using an old type funnel and a can without a spout to place gasoline in the cleaner. Some of the gasoline was spilled on the hot exhaust pipes, which caused an explosion and injury to the worker.
 Corrective precautiOn Do not use gasoline as fuel in "Kerrick Cleaners. Use only #2 fuel oil.
