Dynamite Truck Blast
Kills Two and Rocks
Wide Tennessee Area
BY the Assoeiated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Mar. 25.-
A truck loaded with 10 tons of
dynamite caught fire and blew
up 20 miles northwest of here last
night, killing two persons and
rocking the countryside for SO
miles around.
The spectacular blast knocked
down a dozen or more curious by
stanoers who approached as the
truck famed up. Seven were
treated at Nashville hospitals for
minor injuries and then released.
The explosion dug a 15-foot
deep crater through the concrete
pavement of United States high
way Ala, tore down power lines
in the sparsely settled area and
scattered bits of the truck for
rs yards around.
Insurance Man Killed.
One of the two dead was iden-
titled as John L. O'Guin, 50, a
Nashville insurance man. The
other was tentatively identified
as James M. Hennessey. 80, of
Big Sandy, Tenn, and Houston,
Tex.
They had parked their car to
inspect the burning truck when it
exploded with roar heard as far
away as some South Kentucky
communities.
The truck driver, listed as Lloyd
L. Brantley, 80. of McCalla, Ala,
brought the big vehicle loaded
with 400 cases of explosive to
stop on a light signal from E. E.
Minis, q. of Nashville, driver of
212-ton truck pulling up be-
hind.
Il saw his truck smoking and
flashed him signal" Mr.. Minis
told newsmen.
THE driver stopped his truck
and when he got out it started
flaming up.
HE (Mr. Brantley) shouted
out, This thing is loaded with
dynamite. Let's get out of here"
Stopped Cars.
'He went north on the road
and I went south, stopping cars
and telling them to turn around.
Il was about a fourth of mile
down the road when it exploded
with a big white and red light,
I was in the service overseas and
saw plenty of bombs go off, but
I never saw anything like that"
Mr.. Minis truck, a general mer-
chandise vehicle heavily loaded
with shoes and other clothing, was
destroyed, together with the dyna-
mite truck, which was blown into
bits.
Like 1,0O0-Pound Bomb.
Sergt. Johnny Markell of the
18th Airborne Division at Camp
Campbell. KY, described the con-
cussion of the blast as like that
of a 1,000-pound bomb.
II was among the first to drive
up soon after the truck caught
fire and had been halted by its
driver" he said.
The driver got. out and began
tagging cars back of him toward
Nashville. started tagging
them on the other side.
THE truck burned hercely for
20 minutes before the explosion.
BY that time there were at least
SO cars backed up on the Clarks-
vile side and about the same
number toward Nashville
Because it had burned for 20
minutes without blowing up some
of the people thought there
wouldn't be an explosion. So
they ignored our warnings and
got closer. They were the ones
who got hurt.
The explosion was felt and
heard in all parts of Nashville
and flooded newspaper Offices with
inquiries. An American Airlines
pilot flying high above the scene
radioed an account of the blast
to Berry Field airport.

the Nerband, DR.. Schneider
claims that he did work for the
Nerband for 20 years free OF
charges, this is positively not
true. The Nerband made a $50
600 90 mortgage loan to the eHome
Saving and Loan CO. and DR.
Schneider. Secretary OF the Com
panv. requested special rate OF
interest due to the fact that he
was doing a lot Of work for the
Eerband. The Grand Officers
granted his request and set the
interest rate at so, the then pre-
vailing rate of interest on mort.
gage loans was 6cc. After the
mortgage was paid off he request
ed the \erband pay on all mort
cages procured bv him for max
ing and completing the loan | 20
OF the amount of the loan u of
lcc for collection OF monthly
payments on the loan. Now
please don misunderstood. this
payment is not lfc Of the amount
collected, it is 1acc of lf6 of the
mortgage as OF December 81. To
make this clearer here is an ex.
ample: If the borrower owned
the Nerband on December 81 as
$4,000 DR.. Schneider received
from the Nerband 12Go OF 1Gc on
SS.OOOOO during the year 1949.
This is not an excessive charge
and he surely was entitled to it.
Since Dr. Schneider used the word
! IN his article | say him, actually
we paid to his Company. Now for
procuring the mortgage. complet-
ing the deal and collecting the
monthly payments the \erband
paid him S2,527.5O during the year
1910 and | wish it had been SIS

all the revenue derived by him
for making and collecting on
loans. the borrower pays him for
drawing up the mortgage. note
and so on. ! mention this now,

what | mean.
Then DR. Schneider says in

ties and by insinuation tried to
make a liar of Miss Zednik, Ass
Secretary OF his Company. In

One thing seems to grieve Mr..
Martini to no end. He complains
at length that after | had given
notice to cancel our contract as
of June 5Oth, l had subsequently
changed the date to the end OF
July. The facts are correct. The
reason is this: People whose
friendship I value and whose
judgement l respect had told me
that such short notice might
cause the Central Nerband some
real embarrassment, in fact, that
on account of the cancellation the
Central Nerband might lose
goodly part of few few mortgages
if the borrowers did not like the
change in the place OF payment
or of the PERSONAL. If man IS
shown that he made a mistake
then he should be big enough to
admit it. | realized that in my

lost no time to correct it. If that
was crime. then ] am guilty OF
that crime. But the Central \er-
band has because of that suffered
no loss, has so far lost no loans
already on the books and the
grand officers at their meeting this
month will be able to take such
action as. in their best judgement,
will safeguard the best interests
of the organization.
I regret very much that a very
unpleasant dispute has arisen

justified or permitted to put them
off until after the end of the

his own rules?
During the last two or three
years our Company has invested
over S5OO,OOOOO of Central Yer
band money, has taken care of
all the papers, paid out the loans
and made the collections and have
not made one single mistake. All
monthly payments are up to date
| know we have done a good job,
because we have worked faithful
lv and conscientiously. From the
beginning | have kept our fees
to a minimum and in January
l949 have even reduced them vol
unfairly.
But a man can take just so
much. The insult at the last con-
vention was but the proverbial
last straw that broke the camels
back. | felt that the convention
did not understand me or did not
care to understand me and that ali
NV honest efforts were being
frustrated by a man who consid-
ers the Central Nerband his pri.
vate domain and who thinks he
can lord it over everybody. Two
years ago it was Johnny Rochus.
Now it is l. Who is going to be
next:
With reasonable cooperation
from the Central Nerband Office
the Society could today have at
least ST $l,OOOOOO.OO in good first
mortgages instead Of a measly
| 225,OOO.OO. almost 100000
has already been repaid on the

be at least SS,OOO.OO every year.
Call this Bait if you want to
- as Mr.. Martini did in his sar-
castle way. But YOU have to use
bats. if YOU want to attract new
members. And increased income
is a good bait, and so is courtesy
and prompt service.
Nlce-Pres Foisel was absolute
" right when he stated in his

for her, she always acted like
lady in what little dealing l had
with her have seen her probably
3 or 4 times, only talked to her
over the telephone at times when
Mr.. Martini was on vacation or
i'll. We never had any arguments,
she either informed me OF a deal
or asked me to give her intorma
ton on this or the other mort
gage. My remark in the argument
between DR.. Schneider and Mr..

had told Mr.. Martini, was to seq
gest that the convention believe
Mr.. Martini and not DR.. Schnei-
der. Now about me violating all
parliamentary rules and common
courtesy at the convention. DR..
Schneider attended the conven-
tion not as a Delegate Of his
branch but as the Real Estate
agent OF the Nerband Or if we
want to use a higher praise as a
broker. He did not ask for the
floor to speak. but out of courtesy
| called upon him if he wished
to say something. Well that is
what he came for and he did have
his say. During his talk he was
interrupted by Mr.. Martini for
making false statements and dur
ing the argument between the
two | made the remark as stated
above. | did not stop him from
speaking. he did so on his own
accoust, sat down and did not
even thank the convention for the
courtesy extended to him. In his
article he even hurled dirt at the
wifes OF three officers. Mrs. Petri.
Mrs. Martini and Mrs. Hallner,
all of them Delegates to the con-
vention from Branch 4. These la
dies stated that they had gone
with their husbands for ride on
some occasion and saw some of
the properties which their hes
bands rejected for loan and fully
agreed that those properties were
undesirable as mortgage loan
risks. Then DR.. Schneider goes
on to tell that upwards of SlO,-
10000 income was permitted to
90 into the sewer due to the short
sighted policy of Your officers.
This is a serious charge and If 1t
was true your officers surely de.
serve kick in the pants. ! pre-
sumo DR.. Schneider bases this
figure on the statement of DR.,
Foisel. If they mean that they er.
band would have had that much
more income if we had invested
in mortgages Million more ten
years ago they are right. But let
us look at the total assets as of
