DALLAS iAPi Residents returned today to north Dallas homes abandoned after two propane tankers of a i5-car freight tram exploded last night. There were no reports of injuries.

The blast just before p.m. shook much of the north side of the city. Flames could be seen 50 miles away. "Every building within a half-mile radius has been damaged to some extent." said Pete Nunez, a fire department spokesman. Windows in nearby warehouses and office buildings were blown out and parts of one small warehouse were demolished.

Officials said light evening traffic and the absence of a normal number of workmen prevent-' ed deaths or serious injuries. INVESTIGATORS HAD no immediate explanation for the explosion, although they were trying to determine if the Santa Fe train had derailed just before the blast. Two other propane tankers and four cars containing dangerous vinyl chloride were pulled safely away from the smoldering wreckage of the demolished cars. As a precaution, fire fighters poured water on the two propane tankers that did not burn. An 1H foot crater marked the spot where one of the two cars exploded, and parts of another car were blown into a nearby field.

Yards of track on both sides of the blast site disappeared. Thousands of spectators rushed to the scene as word of the blast spread through the city, hampering efforts to evacuate residents in a 2.Mi-yard radius of the explosion site. The explosion sent up a fireball that an airline pilot said he saw 15ii ants.

Despite a worldwide chorus of disbelief, the Ugandan government has said the churchman and two senior cabinet ministers who also were accused in the alleged conspiracy against Amin died in an auto acci-. dent.

(AP Under fire from parishioners or President Carter's former church, the Rev. Bruce Edwards resigned yesterday in what the church clerk called "the bloodiest, blackest day in the history of the Plains Baptist Church." Hugh Carter, a state senator and cousin of the President who is clerk of the church, said there had been a lot of friction since the Rev.

Clennon B. King, a black preacher, tried to join the congregation shortly before the presidential election. Edwards, 30. blamed his ouster on parishioners who opposed his stand for an integrated church. "The people I feel sorry for are the people who live in Plains with the knowledge of what has taken place." he said.

"I'VE ALWAYS been bold in my preaching that the church doors should be always open and the gospel is for everyone, but I've never met any resistance like I met in Plains. President Carter, a former deacon of the church, has transferred his membership to the First Baptist Church in Washington. He attended services at the Plains church on his recent visit home. Said Hugh Carter. "This is by far the worst split that I have ever seen in any church anywhere in my lifetime, and I think the damage that has been done is irreparable.

In my opinion, the people behind the movement to dismiss the pastor crucified him, with no one giving any reasons or charges as to why he was being asked to resign." Edwards' resignation, effective April 30. grew out of a meeting that Hugh Carter said was called ostensibly to discuss payment for corn which the church had sent to a children's home. me cnurcn couia De notified, but opponents "were beating us on every move to delay the thing by about 20 votes." said Carter. "Brother Edwards then resigned." Edwards was given a paid leave of absence until his resignation takes effect. King, who ran for the 1972 Repul)-lican presidential nomination and for the 1970 GOP gubernatorial nomination in Georgia, is the pastor of the nondenominational Divine Mission in nearby Albany.

Church deacons refused his bid to join the Plains congregation shortly before last November's presidential election, citing a l5 resolution barring blacks.
