Anderson Power Is ' Shut Off By Blest City Without Power During Three Hours Anderson, Ind., June 20—(UP)—: This city of 50,000 residents limped along on a limited supply of electricity today as a result of an explosion and fire that destroyed a main connecting cable at the municipal power plant. No one was injured seriously in the blast and the fire was extinguished quickly. But the city was completely without power, except for that supplied by a few standby generators, for three hours late yesterday. Partial power was restored when part of the damage was repaired Street light® were burning and current flowed to most homes after the three-hour blackout. However, factories, theaters, bars and most restaurants forced to remain dosed. '' 1 i\'i /, The city’s normal power supply wasn’t expected to be restored until late/oday. \ Plant officials blamed the cutoff op a ‘’strategic cable which became overheated and'simply blew ; up.” Threej ambulances and several fire tracks rushed lo the scene when lt;was feared several workers were burned or injured seriously. Only three men were taken to St.John's hospital and they were treated for minor burns and released. The power cut left the city tn a state of near wartime blackout. ; Proprietors in the downtown dist- • rict were ordered not to turn on their neon signs or show-window lights. Additional policemen were called out to patrol the darkened streets and residents were asked to stay at home except in case of emergency, Anderson’s six movie theaters were .closed and night shift ployes at most factories were told not to report for wqrk. The DelcoRemy plant, whichjgets its power from -the Indiana-Michigan Power Co., continued to operate. St. John’s hospital hooked up its auxiliary generators and operations were reported normal. All public meetings and rtiost social activities were cancelled and housewives relying on electric ranges served cold meals. Refrigerators, flocks and all electrical appliances stood idle during the'threehour pebiod until the current began to flow;'. « ' 1 ' 1 Some 10,000 persons attending (he annual Church of God rally held service* and religious discussions by candlelight out-of-doors when the lights in their tabernacle went out. •‘We ?e x em to be in pretty fair shape now/’ said one power plant employe*.
