faulty Boiler Valve
Blamed in Virginia u
Trailer Area Blast
BY the Associoisd Press

BY the Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Mar
21.-A faulty safety valve on
laundry steam boiler was blamed
today for an explosion that
wrecked several buildings in
University of Virginia veterans
trailer housing area.
The laundry was leveled by the
blast, an adjacent trailer was de-
stroyed in fire that the blast
touched off and is other trailers
plus a half dozen automobiles
were damaged.
Only two persons, an Arlington
student and his bride, were in
jurao. They are Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert K. Parrott, who were
burned in the fire that destroyed
the trailer they occupied since
their marriage last month.
Two of the trailers. almost de-
moliShed. were vacant because of
the weekend holiday. Rut there
were several narrow escapes.
Plunge Into Roof.
When the boiler let 60 shortly
after 8 am. it virtually took the
little building with it. The main
part of the 300-gallon tank archeo
for $50 feet through the air
clipped off a power pole en- route
and plunged into the roof of one
story frame house.
It's metal base plate slammed into
the trailer next door. where Mr.
and Mrs. Parrott lived. Mrs. Par
rott was lighting an oil heater in
the bathroom. The explosion up
set the heater and flung her to the
floor. In a moment the trailer
was aflame.
Her husband found his stunned
wife with her hair atiame and
pulled her to safety. Putting out
the flames in her hair he enlisted
a neighbor's aid in getting to the
hospital. He was burned on the
hands and Mrs. Parrott suffered
more serious burns and cut and
bruises
New Furniture Destroyed.
The trailer, containing their new
furniture which arrived only yes
terday, was destroyed but flremen
arrived promptly and prevented
the spread of the blaze.
In the house where the main
body of the boiler came to rest
Louis Long Of Danville, senior
engineering student, had just
stepped out of bed to get his wife
q glass of water. Their 2-year-old
son, Louis, jr.. had come into his
parents bedroom only a few min
utes earlier.
The boiler struck directly over
the baby's crib and left his room
a mass of Uttered debris. No one
was hurt.
Colgate w. Darden. jr.. uniVer-
sity president, said the blast ap-
parently was caused by failure OF
an automatic safety valve.
Installed Weeks Ago.
Mr.. Darden said the laundry
boiler was new equipment, having
been installed about three weeks
ago.
A fund to replace some OF the
PARROTS belongings was started
by their neighbors and Mr.. Dar-
den gave it a boost with 500
check.
Mrs. Parrot, 21, the former
Patricia D'Ancona Of Chicago, was
reported in satisfactory condition
today. Mr.. Parrott. %. is son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John c. Parrott. 4203

was graduated from Western High
School and served with the Navy
for four years. He is member OF

Rutledge, Murphy
Loss MOurned

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IT
tADC) = Americans of Japanese
ancestry have lost two of their finest
friends on the Supreme court in the
last six weeks with the deaths of
Justice Wiley Rutledge and Justice
frank Murphy.
This was the way Mike Masaoka,
national JACJ, Discrimination
Committee legislative director, today
characterized the deaths of these
two jurists. Justice Murphy died six
weeks ago, and Justice Rut1edge
died last week.
Masaoka pointed out that both
justices were among the most
staunch advocates of a broad and
sympathetic Interpretation of laws
affecting minorities and the less
privileged of America.
In telegram of sympathy sent
to Justice Rutledge's widow, Mssa-
Okla said:
I'VE persons of Japanese ancestry
join with millions of our fellow
Americans in extending to you and
yours our sympathies and condo
lences on the death of Associate
Justice Wiley Rutledge. Justice Rut-
ledge was an able jurist who inter-
preted the law in terms of the living
present without regard to race, color,
creed or national origin. In cases
involving persons of Japanese an
cestry, he joined with his late col
league, Justice Murphy, in opinions
which demonstrated his apprecia-
ton of our problems as a racial
minority in the United States. Jus
tice Rutledges death is great loss
to the Supreme Court and to the
American people who admire cour-
age, vision and Justice.

Japan Typewriter
Operates Fast

TOKYO, Japan, Sept. IT - A
Japanese typewriter was demonstra-
ted recently whose makers claim
it can be operated as fast as the
western-style machine although it
prints Chinese and Japanese char
acterS.
Some 1000 characters are carried
on the typewriter facing which is
indexed on a revolving drum. When,
for instance, the operator wants
to hit a character for house, she
twirls the drum, cranks lever and
twirls a knob and then strikes a
button which swings punch against
the type facing which is by now in
position.
Makers claim this "Rube COLDER
gian" contraption is a vast improve
ment over the heavier, more cum
bersome machines used heretofore.
