The disaster was touched off by an ammonium nitrate explosion ulMiard the French freighter Grandcamp April 18. The explosion followed a fire in the ship's No. I hold. The cause of the fire was not determined but, the coast guard said, "smoking by personnel in the I area of No- 4 hatch was admitted." According to the latest figures, disclosed by the Red Cross here last night. 481 persons were killed and more than 3.500 were Injured The coast guard conducted an ini vestigation and reported its preliminary findings today. To prevent any future disaster of , the kind which wrecked Texas City. It recommended an exhaustive study by a special governmental committee with a view to developing "a national policy" for the handling of ammonium nitrate. The coast guard study showed ' that practically all established rules for the safe handling of the explosive fertilizer were ignored J at Texas City. Moreover, it reported that neatly all person,) concerned with the Grandcamp ship- ; ment "displayed a lack of know- . ledge of the provisions of regu--1 latlons governing the safety of the | operations either by land or water." The regulations were established I by the coast guard and "are bind- : Ing upon all shippers, owners. ' masters, and agents In charge." The ammonium nitrate was being shipped by the French supply council. But it did not, the coast | guard reported, follow regulations I which require "that the shipper give written notification in advance to the vessel regaiding the characteristic*) of a dangerous cargo." The Grandcamp was a liberty type ship owned by the French republic and operated by the Companie General Atlanlique, commonly known as the French Line. I The line did not enforce rules against smoking, the coast guard i eport said. o I. U.
