Of Two Fur Coats

vided another embarrassing link
between Turner L. Smith, late
of the Justice Department, and
I. T. Cohen, an attorney who
helped him get two fur coats,

The whole story made Mr..
Smith, a ruddy-faced little man,
more red-faced than ever.
Mr.. Smith told a House Judi
ciary subcommittee that when
he left the Justice Departments
tax division in 1851, he dumped
several bundles of his private
files in the Patuxent River. He
said he knew some letters had
been recovered, but he did not
know which ones.
Committee Counsel Robert
Collier produced a packet Of
mutilated letters - some torn
into bits, some with parts miss
ing, but all showing the effects
of dunking in the Patuxent.
Their contents set Mr.. Smith to
chain-Smoking.
Those Two Fur Coats.
Three were to Mr.. Smith from
Mr.. Cohen, an Atlanta attorney.
Mr.. Cohen had testified Novem-
ber 20, 1851, that he had a law
associate, Jacob Landau in New
York, get fur coats for Mr..
Smiths wife and daughter in
1948. Mr.. Smith offered to pay
for the coats, but Mr.. Landau

after 10000 pounds of holiday
fireworks blew up yesterday. kill
ing four, injuring 73 and causing
damage estimated at So million.
The Mayor said: Its news to
me that fireworks storage place
can operate in the city"
The explosion smashed prac-
tically everything in the block
surrounding the Alco Fireworks
and Specially Co. warehouse. At
least a dozen homes blazed, fired
by flying wreckage. Other homes
gaped openly on crowd filled
streets, their windows ripped out,
roofs stripped and sides sheared
away.
The blast was accompanied by
a towering mushroom cloud of
white smoke.
The cause apparently can be
traced to a hammer being used
by Kenneth B. Williams, IS,
Alcc's general manager. He had
minor injuries. He was driving
nails into the framework of a
pressed-paper display contain
ing explosives.
II either hit the gerb (cylin-
der) with the hammer or struck
a spark off one of the nails, :"
Williams said.
"The whole place was blown
up in IS seconds"
The charred bodies Of the four
killed were found in the ruins
of a small cottage that had
stood only 20 feet from the
warehouse.
Two young husbands were
stunned when they learned of
the deaths at a hospital.
John Walton, a clothing store
department. manager, was in an
emergency room corridor when a
loudspeaker called him. He col
lapsed when he was told his en-
tire family had burned to death.
They were his wife Jean, Is, and
their two children, Cathy, 4,
and John, jr., 2.
Gurnade M. Barziza, 24-year-
old hotel auditor, identified the
body of his wife, Jessie Jane, %,
through a wedding band and
engagement ring and bits of
charred clothing.
Mrs. Barziza apparently had
been visiting with Mrs. Walton.
They were neighbors.
The injured were treated at
four hospitals. Most of them
suffered only minor cuts and
bruises from flying debris or
received minor burns. Nine re-
manned in hospitals.
Two Known Dead in Blast

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June

Sembled an atomic blast leveled

The blast destroyed a 20-by-

along the Mohawk water front.
An automobile and an un-
occupied house trailer nearby
also were destroyed.

Lewis Fears TIL Doom
OF Unions in Depression
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO. June 6.-The Taft

says John L. Lewis, to wipe out
labor unions when the opportu-
nifty comes-"such as another

1T is not possible to dream Of
eliminating labor unions from

our Republic will endure" Mr..
Lewis told the Executives Club

fronted with this letter, he told
the subcommittee:
II shouldn't have written that

He explained that he and Mr..
Menghinni, when each was 30
years old, went through Army
basic training together with a
lot of younger men, and thought
they'd never survive. From this
hardship, Mr.. Smith testified,
their friendship grew.
Mr.. Smith said he tried to
destroy the letters because they
were his private files, but took
up too much space. He added:
II had no motive or thought
that I was destroying something
that would be damaging to
Turner Smith. If I had, I think
I would have burned them. {.
There couldn't be anything
in there to indicate that Turner
Smith is a crook. I never ac-
cepted any money from anybody,
never gave anybody any money"
Mr.. Smith said he had won-
dered a thousand times which
letters had been recovered. After
the hearing, he Joined newsmen
in examining the letters that had
been placed in the record. More
are to come.
Mr.. Smith could blame part
Of his troubles on a mongrel dog
owned by Naval 1t. G.g) Roy L.
Bergeron. The dog found the
papers washed up on the Pa
tuxent shore. 1t. Bergeron noti-
fled the Navy, which notified the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
FBI agents searched the area,
found other letters and turned
the lot over to the subcommittee
