Probers Seek Cause
OF Blast Killing One,
Wrecking Building
BY the Asseeioted Press

PEABODY, Mass, May l.
Investigators TO-DAY probed
through the ruins OF what once
was a chemical plant to try to
learn the source of a terrific
explosion which took one life
and injured some 80 others.
The explosion reduced to rub
BILE the American Polymer Corp.
building while more than a score
of persons were at work there
yesterday. 1t also blew out every
window and parts of the roof OF
the Resinous Chemicals Corp, a
subsidiary firm, located next door
across a 2O-foot parking lot.
The blast broke windows as
far as a half-mile away and was
heard five miles distant.
The victim was Frederick Law
son, SO, a foreman at the Poly
mer plant, whose body was found
in the parking lot. hurled out OF
the cement-block building by
the explosion.
Nine persons were still hos
pitalized today. About 20 others
were released from hospitals
after. treatment. The most seri-
ously injured was Francis DON
ovan, 46, former Peabody city
councillor, who was in the Poly
mer building soliciting business
for the trucking firm which en-
ploys him as a dispatcher.
He was buried beneath debris
for an hour and 35 minutes be-
fore his hand was been protrud-
ing from the wreckage. He was
reported in very poor" condi-
ton, suffering from severe burns
and other injuries.
An official Of the firm estimat-
ed damage to the plant itself at
"about $350,000."

Death Of Baby Left
| AT Nursery Probed
In Prince GEORGES

Prince Georges County police
today were investigating q
nursery home where a 7-month.
old baby received fatal injuries
last week.
The child. James Cecil Hen
derson. jr., son of an estranged
District couple. was found I'M
conscious in his crib at the small
nursery home last Friday.
DR.. James I. Boyd, Prince
Georges County medical exam
liner. has since held after AT
autopsy that the infant died of
multiple blows to the head and
face"
Detective Sergt. Richard A.
Pearson said today he is investi-
eating the nursery home at 407
Sixty-f1fth avenue, Maryland
Park, and several other angles
in the case"
No Arrests Made.
He said, however, that no ar
rests have been made and Che
nursery, operated by Mrs. Arleen
F. Tenant. is still doing BUSH
ness.
Sergt. Pearson said the baby's
mother. Mrs. Edna c. Henderson
Of 2418 G street NV, put the
infant in the home April 18.
shortly after she and her hus-
band separated. She is en-
ployed in a Georgetown drug
store.
Baby Found Unconscious.
Last Friday afternoon, Mrs.
Tenant told police, she heard
screams and found the Hender-
son baby unconscious in his crib.
She said she took him to a
Capitol Heights physician and
then to Prince Georges General
Hospital, where the infant was
pronounced dead shortly after
ward.
Police said they believed the
child was beaten. But DR.. Boyd
said he could not ascertain how
the infant had been beaten. Po-
lice said Mrs. Tenant told them
the baby was bruised because he
beat his head against the side
of his crib.
Police said Mr.. Henderson In
a building trades worker.

stretching out the defense pro-
gram.
80 long as the survival of
the country is endangered, no
one at any level has the right
to place solvency above security"
said Senator Symington, who
was formerly Secretary of the
Air Force.
If the Nation had faced its
national defense problem real
istically five years ago. he con-
tended, there probably would
have been no Korean War"
The Missouri Senator spoke
before the Albemarle County
Historical Society at the Univer-
sity of Virginia here.
In departure from his pre-
pared text and referring to Gen
Eisenhower's news conference
yesterday. Senator Symington
said that cts the duty of the
President to explain to the
American people why he thinks
the military budget can be cut.
The American people should be
told the truth about the military
situation"

Physicists Hear Description
|OfN0ture1s Naturalization

brated plant in Norway, and
from Lake Michigan.
It probably is fortunate, it
was brought out in discussion
of DR.. Libby's report, that it is
so hard for nature to make
tritium. It is a dangerous radio
active gas and any great amount
in the atmosphere probably
would cause serious trouble.
Some is probably created by the
neutrons shot into the atmos-
phere by an atomic bomb explo-
sion and this would be consider
ably augmented if a hydrogen
bomb were ever attained. 1t may
become something to worry about.
New Measure of Age.
A rare pink-violet mineral
found in granite rocks is pro-
viding geophysicists with a new
measure of the age of the earth,
DR.. L. T. Aldrich of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington re-
ported to the physicists. Two
specimens indicate an age of
somewhat over 4 billion years for
the Oldest crystal rocks, he said,
with a 80 per cent possibility
of error either way. This would
make the earth at least a bill
lion years older than was COM
monty believed a year ago.
Astronomers first admitted the
likelihood of such a great age
this month after observations of
cepheid variableS in island uni
verses with the Mount Palomar
telescope. After a symposium
on radio astronomy before the
National Acadamy of Sciences
Wednesday both astronomers ano
biologists can consider the pos
sibility of a 6 billion-year age
The work of DR.. Aldrich and
his co-workerS involves deter
mining the rubidium- strontium
ratio in the luminous pink-violet
peidolite. A radioactive form OF
the rare element rubidium
changes into a stable form of the
equally rare strontium over a
period of a few billion years ano
the ratio of the abundance of
the two is the age measure.
SuperSedeS Uranium Test.
This ratio has consistently
given a greater age to rocks than
the more commonly used uranium
-radiogenic lead ratio which has
indicated a maximum age of
about 212 billion years. Geolo-
gists are at a loss to explain the
difference.
All the physicists at the meet
ings yesterday were in a deeply
philosophic frame of mind fol-
lowing the radio astronomy SYM
postum Wednesday which prom
ises, from it's profound effect on
mans thinking, to have been an
event of the first magnitude.
DR.. Aldrich expressed the pre-
vailing mood.
'They now tell u.s." he said,
"that all the atoms in the uni
verse were created at the same
time. That, of course, means all
the atoms in our bodies also"
This means presumably, that
all of us are really 6 billion
years old. even including a baby
born yesterday.
It sounds like nonsense-but
time seems to have been shat
tered and there is no sense or
nonsense any more in talking
about it.
