Firenlen Probe
TwoApartment
House Blasts
Explosions Occur in
Opposite Ends of City
Within Two Hours

Fire Department Investigators
today are trying to establish the
causes Of two terrific explosions
that blasted apartment houses at
opposite ends Of the city within
two hours yesterday. q
The explosions occurred in the
newly constructed Kenmore Apart
ments. in the 5400 block of Con-
necticut avenue NV, and in a
small brick four-family apart
ment unit at 5340 Ames street
NE.
George Green. colored, So, was
asleep on a divan in his brothers
apartment at the Ames street ad-
dress when an explosion blasted
away the outer brick wall at the
second floor level from the front
TO the rear. Fire broke out in
three places in the second floor
apartment. Mr.. Green suffered
f1rst and second degree burns on
his arms, face and neck. He was
treated at Gallinger Hospital.
FLYING Debris Breaks Windows.
Fragments of brick, broken glass
and other debris were hurled
through the air like shrapnel for
several hundred feet and rained
against adjoining apartments and
structures across the street. Sew
eral windows were broken by the
flying debris, but no one was in
jured.
The Connecticut avenue blast
shattered windows and blew down
plaster In a dozen apartment units
from the second to the sixth floors.
Col. William c. Munley, retired
Army Medical Corps officer, in
whose apartment the blast is be-
l1eved to have originated, suffered
slight burns on his neck. He re-
fused f1rst-aid treatment when
f1remen arrived.
Col. Munley told firemen the
explosion occurred when he at
tempted to light a pilot burner
on the gas stove in his fourth
floor apartment. The pilot light
had gone out several times since
he moved into the newly con-
structed apartment, Col. Munley
said.
Acting Fire Marshal Roy War
field said gas fumes may have
collected in the raceway feeding
pipes to other units in the build
ing and caused simultaneous ex-
plosions in apartments on differ
ent floor levels.
Dazed by Explosion.
Marshall Warfield said he
planned to question Mr.. Green
further today in an effort to estab-
lish the cause of the Ames street
blast. Mr.. Green was dazed by
the explosion when investigators
talked to him yesterday.
Something fell on me-" was his
only explanation then.
In their f1rst-hoor apartment.
Immediately under the site of the
explosion, were Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth Mosby, colored. %; her
daughter CeleStine, Is months. and
her nephews, Waddell and Rock
nell Swilling. Is months and s
years old, respectively. Front win
dows Of her apartment were blown
out. Mrs. Swilling grabbed the
three children in her arms arms
and fed to the home Of neigh
bors. She and the youngsters
escaped injury.
Walls of the apartment building
were bulged by the force of the
explosion. Building inspectors
will make tests to determine il
the structure will have to be torn
down.

the most efficient, Henry Fords genius found way
to introduce this superior and more costly power
plant to the low-priced car field ian achievement
still unmatched). Ever since, Ford has based one
claim to supremacy on its exclusive use of the
V-type, eightcyinder engine among low priced cars.
The 1850 Ford V-s engine incorporates many
definite improvements over the 1949 engine, already
unequalled in its field for power, efficiency, hexi-
biity, economy, reliability and quiet operation.
Ford knows that continuous experimentation and
testing will develop even better engines to power
the Ford, Mercury and Lincoln cars of the future
and Ford Trucks and Tractors, too.
The present Dynamometer Building is only one
wing of building which, when completed, see
model, below, will provide Ford with engine
test and development facilities unequalled in the
industry. And the completed building will be only
the first of eight major buildings which will form
the Ford Research and Engineering Center.
This will give Ford the worlds most modern
facilities for improving its future automobiles trucks
and tractors.
