TEXAS CITY, Tex, April IS
U.H-I flew over the Texas City
disaster area today-over waves
OF black smoke which hid all but
five huge clusters OF licking
flame.
A rectangle roughly a mile long
and a half mile wide along the
waterfront was a mass of twisted
steel structures and charred de-
bris.
Clouds of smoke erased the sun.
Fires were burning at the ruined
Monsanto Chemical company
plant and in two oil refineries.
Every few minutes another explo-
sion spewed more flame and
smoke into the sky.
Wading through the destruction
srea were doctors and nurses
grimy, sweaty with blood on
them. Priests were there and
scores of volunteers.
Some donned gas masks rushed
in from Fort Crockett at Calves
ton as they neared the docks
where chemical fumes were
heavy. Calls Of the injured and
dying could be heard family
through the roar OF flames.
Bodies Everywhere
Twisted bodies lay everywhere.
Rescuers stepped over the bodies
as they hunted for the injured.
Along a street OF small cafes
and residences were scattered
fragments OF the ship which blew
UP to start this holocaust. There
were also pieces of metal that
once were part of the multi-mil-
lion = dollar Monsanto Chemical
plant.
Roads leading into the center Of
the death area are closed. Some
1900 law endorsements officers
and soldiers are here and only
authorized persons can come in.
It's hard to walk in Texas City.
AL the plate glass is gone, scat
tered in the streets. Bloody trails
made by the injured r every
where.

FACTS for
the VETERAN

Henry R. suffers from a nervous
condition which developed after a
vi bomb struck the army build
ing to which he was assigned as
a transportation corps clerk in
Antwerp, Belgium. After his dis
charge from service the Veterans
Administration awarded him S23
a month. Henry now finds his
former civilian occupation in an
office too confining, and he wants
to become an automobile mechanic.
He asked the Home Service chair
man of his Red Cross chapter how
he could secure income to support
his wife, two children, and depend
ent mother during his training
period.
Smyrna times., 1947-07-10

Henry is told that to be eligible
for vocational rehabilitation a vet
eran must be in receipt of PEN
sion for a service-connected dis
ability causing a vocational hand
leap for which training will be
beneficial in overcoming the handi-
cap. He is then assisted in the
preparation of the necessary ap-
plication form. 1t should be re-
membered that eligibility is always
determined by the Veterans Adj
ministration.
The Veterans Administration
will then call Henry in for voca-
tional advisement. If it is found
that the trade of auto mechanic is
medically feasible, a course of
training will be outlined and ar
rangements made for instruction
and training on the job. The Vet
Grams Administration will complete
the plans and will notify the vet
eran when and where to report for
training. A Veterans Administra-
tion training supervisor will per-
iodically check on the veterans
progress during the training per-
iod.
While enrolled and in training,
Henry will receive from the Vet
Grams Administration S147.00 per
month for himself and his depend
ents unless the school or employer
pays him an apprentices wage
during training. If an appren-
tees wage is paid, the Veterans
Administration determines the rate
of monthly pay for trained work
er, and supplements the apprent-
ices wage by the difference be-
tween the apprentices wage and
the fully-trained workers wage.
This arrangement will be contin-
ued until training is completed and
for two months thereafter.-Amer-
lean Red Cross News Release.
