Tanker Driver Averts
Major Explosion as
Gasoline Fumes Burn

A gasoline explosion last night
caused minor damage to the S. &
w. Auto Supply Co., 1925 Fiji
teenth street NV.
Only the quick action of a
tanker driver, William Cooper, 33
of Alexandria, in disconnecting
the hose from his truck and pull
ing the loaded tanker away from
the scene averted heavy damage,
the service station operator said
today.
Mr.. Cooper's truck was filling
tanks at the station and had
poured about 1900 gallons of his
4,800-gallon load into the tanks
when the fumes burst into flame.
Francis c. Rupert, the station
owner, said the heavy humidity
apparently prevented full escape
Of the fumes from tank vent.
Warehouse Fire Investigated.
Firemen were on the scene and
it was all over in five minutes,
with some windows broken and
slight fire damage to the station.
David Rupert, 16, son of the
owner, and James Jackson, an
attendant, were on duty and called
f1remen.
Meanwhile an investigation was
u lder way in an $4,000 blaze
which damaged contents of a
warehouse alongside the White

The building contained furni-

Candidates Letters Keep Political Eyes Turned to New York

He doesn't plan to do any cam
paigning. he said.
He wouldn't comment on elec-
ton prospects in individual States,
but said he hopes Senator Myers
wins in Pennsylvania. Senator
Myers is opposed by Republican
Gov. James H. Duff.
The Hanley letter had repercus-
sions in California. It was brought
up there by James Roosevelt, son
of the late President, who is op-
posing Republican Gov. Earl War
ren for reelection.
Asking why 1t. Gov. Goodwin
j. Knight got out of the race
for Governor early this year, Mr.
Roosevelt suggested there might
be parallel to Mr.. Hanley's with
drawal in New York. He referred
to Gov. Dewey as "the senior
partner in the firm of Dewey and
Warren" and asked: What went
on here in California;"
Gov. Warren retorted that he
had never discussed the question
of withdrawal with Mr.. Knight
and he said of Mr.. Roosevelt: SIS
there no end to this mans trick
cry? He has no equal since patent
medicines were sold on street
corners from a blackboard"
Mr.. Knight, too, threw down
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion.
II became convinced that my
candidacy might help Mr..
, Roosevelt" he said in explaining
his withdrawal. with defeat
staring him in the face, Mr..

Roosevelt will no doubt resort to
other disreputable maneuvers be-

The Hanley letter was made
public earlier this week. In it,
Mr.. Hanley said he had received
definite assurances that if he con-
sented to run for the Senate he
would be able to settle up per-
sonal financial matters within 80
days. Mr.. Hanley previously had
been assured the COP governor
nomination. He withdrew, and
Gov. Dewey then announced he
had changed his mind and would
seek a third term.
Both Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Han
ley have denied there was any
pay-off or wrongdoing.
Three days after Mr.. Hanley's
letter came out, the New York
World Telegram and Sun pub
lished the Lehman letter to Hiss.
In it the Senator told Hiss that
you have been very badly
treated" It was written two days
after Hiss had denied before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee that he had any con-
nection with a Russian spy ap-
paratus.
In a statement yesterday, Sen
ator Lehman noted that Hiss at
the time had the support of many
prominent persons. including some
Republicans, and said that in his
letter he had done what I felt
was the human thing to do"
Republicans, however, pounced

Hiss, former State Department
aide, since convicted of perjury
Senator Lehman noted it was
written before Hiss indictment.
The Snator's letter was made
public while controversy still flew
about a letter written by Senator
Lehman's Republican opponent
1t. Gov. Joe R. Hanley, which
Democrats contend showed Mr.
Hanley was paid off" to run for
the Senate rather than the gov
ernorship.
President Truman told his news
conference yesterday he had read
the Hanley letter and was sorry
he had. It is too bad a thing
like that has to come out in pub
lie, the President said.
He added that. yes, it certainly
would have an effect on the New
York election and won't hurt
Democratic chances.
Mr.. Truman also said he ex-
poets the Democrats will win next
months congressional election by
a landslide, increasing their ma
jorities in both Senate and House.
