Nonsense Sonnet SAYS

Assistant Attorney General John
F. Sonnet today characterized as
complete nonsense" reports that he
would expand the Justice Depart

in New York has pledged its CO.
operation with the grand jury in
vestigation into housing costs now
being pushed by the Justice De-
partment's Antitrust Division, head
ed by Mr.. Sonnet.
Certain convention reports earlier
had indicated that a conference
between a Justice Department on
cial and the Legion's Housing Com
mittee meant that the Government
would inquire into the committee's S
opposition to the Taft -Elender-
Wagner bill and other public
housing.
Meanwhile, in New York q
statement of the Labor Conference
of Legionnaires, an unoncial Legion
group, charged that the Legion
Housing Committee was helping to
"scuttle homes for veterans"
The conference said it had def
mite proof that Herbert U. Nelson,
executive president OF the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
had dictated the Legion commit
tees housing policy ever since last
years convention in San Francisco

Safeguards Are Asked
To End Nitrate Blasts
By the Associoied Press

AS a result of the Texas City
CTexD disaster last spring, a Gov
ernment committee last night rec
commended fire watches, smoking
bans and other precautions when
vessels carrying ammonium nitrate
are in port.
Two ships loaded with the fer
tilizer exploded at Texas City, with
a heavy toll of dead and property
damage in the town.
The report by IA representatives
of various Government agencies ac-
cepted the opinion of Coast Guard
investigating board that the first
explosion aboard the S. S. Grand
camp was caused by careless dis
posal of cigarette butts
An explosion 16 hours later aboard
the S. S. Highf1yer, the board said
resulted from fire and the possible
contamination of ammonium nitrate
with sulphur" which also was aboard
the ship.
The committee saw no reason to
recommend that shipments of am
monium nitrate by water be for
hidden.
1t said an explosion can be caused
only by changing the chemicals
stability and this is possible through
fire under confinement in a COM
partment which lends itself to the
retention of heat and the building
up Of pressure" and through con-
tamination with sulphur or other
substances and subsequent ignition
