Explosives By RICHARD VA.LERIANI HAVANA 'AP) Charges that the United Slates is supplying explosives to terrorists were renewed today by the semiofficial newspaper Rcvolticion after a series of bomb blasts in Havana. It made the charge under a front-page picture of a boy wounded in the bombing of a department store Tuesday. The bombing was one of four in Havana. A train was also wrecked in central Cuba by saboteurs trying to undermine Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime. The injured totaled more than 60.

Revolu- cion said investigations showed TNT was used. "This fact demonstrates that the terrorists are receiving this explosive from the United States," it added. In addition to the department store blast, bombs exploded in a variety store, a main power station and a plush night dub in Ha-' There was extensive dam(age to the club, once a favorite with American tourists.

Socialist union leaders promptly called for a general strike in Antwerp to retaliate. It was the first use of tear gas in the eight-day strike aimed at toppling the government of Premier Gaston Eyskens. Strikers in Ghent were trying to force workers out of the fuel gas works administrative office. Antwerp, lying in the Flemish northern section, has not been hit as hard by the strike which has paralyzed the Socialist strongholds in the industrial and French- speaking south. The government had reported a back-to-work movement in Antwerp, except for workers at the big port installations.

Harbor installations are still paralyzed.

Edwards said Blake was never a member of the show's staff and never wrote for it.

The staff got information from many sources, Edwards said, and Blake was one of them. In August 1938, Edwards "we suspected the facts in one of his (Blake's) contributions and discontinued accepting material from him." Blake acknowledged in iiis story that he was annoyed at the Ed-! wards organization because it did not pay him what he thought he had coming for contributions to the show.
