FEARS ENTIRE REFINERY WILL BE DESTROYED New Explosion Threatens Destruction; Four Men Are Killed Wellsville, N. Y., July 18—(UP) —A new explosion ripped through the blazing $12,000,000 Sinclair Oil company refinery today and it was feared that the entire plant might be destroyed. Four men already had been killed, 42 injured, and the damage as of 4 a. m. CST was estimated at several million dollars. During the night one storage tank after another had exploded, sending great columns of flame and billowing. acid emoke high into the sky. At 1 A. M. CST after 10 tanks had exploded, firemen thought they had the fire under control, but a little before dawn, another tank went up with a roaring intonation that shook the countryside for miles around, scattering flames through parts of the huge refinery which hadn’t been touched. Refinery workers. Wellsville firemen. and volunteer firemen from were all seeking to control the blaze, but water was almost useless in combating the blazing crude oil. The firemen and Hundreds of spectators were endangered by the recurring explosions. Two men were killed when sprayed with blazing oil. They were Eugene McCormick, 42, and Walter Naeber, 35. The top of an oil storage tank 30 feet in diameter was blown high by an explosion and camo down across the Genesee river which rune along- ' side the refinery, on Robert Powers I 43, and an unidentified man, killing them. To recover the unidentified i body police had to cut through the steel with torches. The injured were either buried ny ' flaming oil or ovenpottered by the thick clouds of noxious smoke. The fire started in the wax processing plant and. spread rapidly to storage tanks. The refinery is tha largest treating Pennsylvania crude 1011. Throughout the night volunteer : firemen from every community in this district battled the blaze After the dawn explosion, it seemed a hopeless battle. A shortage of Foamite, a chemical effective against oil fires, hampered operations. Tons of the chemical were rushed here from neighboring oil centers, but the supply still was inadequate. The loss included the $1,000,000 dewaxing plant, a centrifuge plant, press room, ammonia generator room, engine room 12 storage tanks and 14 chilling towers. The most spectauclar incident, according to witnesses, was the explu(CONTTNUED ON PAGE SIX) IB HOLD BIXLEB RITES TUESB AY Mrs. Anna Bixler Died Suddenly Saturday Afternoon At Berne Funeral services for Mrs. Anna Bixler, 84. widow of the late David Bixler, who died at her home in Berne Saturday, will be held Tuesi day afternoon at 2 o’clock at the ' Mennonite church there.

FRANCE BEADY FDB VISIT OF ENGLISH KING To Visit Paris Tuesday; Warfare Breaks Out In Trouble Spots By Joe Alex Morris (United Press Staff Correspondent) I The world’s trouble spots boiled! dangerously again today from stubborn Chinese defense lines along ' the Yungtse to the Mediterranean ! coastal battlefields of Spain. Puncturing a few weeks of sum-1 mer calm that relieved Europe's immediate war fears, the second i anniversary of the civil conflict in Spain witnessed intensification of,, fighting before Valencia, bloodshed in Palestine, renewal of tension . between Germany and Czechoslovakia and a growing concern in , Great Britain regarding the safety ; of the empire's Mediterranean lifeline. I . Two contrary developments stood , out in the stream of warlike news I from the world's capitals. I In Paris unprecedented police ' and military preparations were , made for the visit Tuesday of i King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, to seal be-' fore the world the firmness of the Anglo-French entente and perhaps . ' to tighten it into an agreement for! a united foreign front. From an historic view point. I the royal visit overshadows the' bitter boom of guns across the i pyreness because it is a public ; ; demonstration of British Prime Minister Nevilla ghamberlain's de-1 termination to build a diplomatic! and military combination that will balance the power of Europe's dictatorial partnership headed by Italy and Germany. ' At the same time the pageant I in Paris will be closely related to the background of fighting in Spain 1 i because Chamberlain must meet' the greatest immediate menace to British interests on the Iberian i Peninsula where domination of | Spain by the Roino-Berlin partner (CONTINUED <>N PAGE FIVE) O : HUGE MAIL BOX REPAIRS MADE Week Os August 1 Designated As Rural Mail Box Cleanup Week “Clean Up Rural Mail Box Week"; ; will be observed by the local ipqst' ■ office the week beginning August I 1, Mrs. Lola P.

DELAY OPENING OF STREET HERE Second Street Likely To Be Closed Until Next Week End A probability that Second street from Monroe street to Five Points will not be opened lor local traffic until Saturday was seen today by cojistruction officials. Communications from the state department have eliminated the possibility that local construction officials could order opening of the street until the seven-day curing period has ended, Larry Myers, state engineer in charge, stated today. Rumors that the street is to be torn up on the sides were branded false by Mr. Myers, who stated that the only actual work remaining was planing along the sides, tamping around manholes and other finishing touches. However, the days must be allotted for the material to undergo a curing process. Added rains over the weekend again temporarily halted this process. Mr. Myers stated, and again called for a delay in opening the street. Mr. Myers stated that, weather permitting, it is possible the street can be opened for local traffic only by Saturday. The condition of the material will not permit parking yet at that time, he stated. Further rains will delay the opening until the first of next week, he stated. o “Bank Night” Hearing Is Posptoned Today The hearing on the disposition of the equipment confiscated at the Adams theater during the “ibank. j night” drawing two weeks ago, | which was to have been conducted I in justic of peace court tills morn--1 ing, has been indefinitely continued Justice John T, Kelley stated today. o' Hoagland Fair Will Open Tuesday Night The annual Hoagland fair, sponsored by the members of the country conservation club, will be open--1 ed Tuesday, July 19 and continue to July 23, inclusive.

Los Angeles Mechanic Says Flight All A Mistake As He Set Compass Wrong; Meant To Go West. AMAZING FLIGHT Dublin, July 18-(U.R> - Douglas Corrigan, 31 year-old Los Angelos airplane mechanic, flew alone across the Atlantic today in a little old 175-horsepower monoplane and maintained that all the time he thought he was flying to California instead of Ireland. That was the story he had told when he took the 1929 model up from Floyd Bennett airport in New York at dawn Sunday. Otherwise they wouldn't have let him start, with no navigating instruments, no emergency equipment, no permission for a trans-Atlantic flight, no passport. And that was the story that he ! stuck to when he put the old crate | down at Baldonnell airport, just ! outside Dublin, 28 hours and 13 minutes later. “I left New York to return to Los Angeles, but l>y an unfortunate mistake 1 set my compass wrong.” he said with a straight face while airport officials and newspapermen crowded around to congratulate him and laugh at his joke. He could jest about it now. this nonchalant young Californian, for he had fulfilled a secret ambition to fly across the Atlantic and had finished one of the most amazing flights in the history of aviation. He did it—about 2.800 miles from New York to Ireland —in 28 hours and 13 minutes—as casually as the '< ordinary person would motor a ' hundred miles or so in an old flivver. He had no navigating instruments, no radio, no safety equipment. no permission from the United Slates government, and his i motor would develop only 175 ; horsepower. But he did have that old ship ( ; and motor on which he had lavished hours of attention. He had 320 i gallons of gasoline that cost him I just about all the money he had. I He had a couple of chocolate bars, i And he had a burning desire to ; follow the trail blazed across the Atlantic by his hero —Lindbergh. 11 His plane wasn’t even as power- •' fill as the one Lindbergh flew alone ■ to Paris 11 years ago. It looked I like a baby carriage beside the . ■ sleek big 1938 machine in which ■ Howard Hughes roared across the same Atlantic just a week ago and • then on around the world. None of that bothered the young . man from Los Angeles. The only thing that worried him was to get away from New York without the 1 government stopping what it would I have considered a crazy, suicidal I venture. So when he flew away • from Floyd Bennett airport in New . York at dawn Sunday he told them I that he was just going to fly back to California. It was 3:17 a. m. CST Sunday when he lifted the old crate off the ground in New York and. instead I of turning west, pointed her straight northeastward and kept 1 going. ’ Airport attendants in New York thought at first that they merely had lost him in the easterly haze and that he would make a wide (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) FIRE DESTROYS BARNSATURDAY A. H. Hattry Barn Com® ' pletely Destroyed By Flames Saturday L _______ ’ Fire completely destroyed a 1 barn belonging to A. H. Hattry, ' southeast of the city on the Indi--1 ana-Ohio state line Saturday about • noon. A young calf, lodged in a barn stall, burned to death, before ft . could be rescued from the olazing structure. The local fire department was summoned, but by the time it arrived, the building was enveloped in flames. The local crew succeed- ' ed in preventing the spread of tha flames to a number of nearby ' building's. 1 An estimate on the damage was ' not made. The barn was located immediately east of the state line ■ on the Ohio side, and had been ■ only recently purchased by the Ohio resident.
