Heard Steve Anderson, 20, a navy veteran who lives near the center, said he heard three sharp explosions about 1:45 a.m. he ran to the center and helped firemen. The saboteurs used G.I. gas cans found inside the fance to haul gasoline from the parked vehicles. In addition to the vehicles destroyed or damaged, they dumped gas on two sedans parked in an open garage, on other military vehicles and on the building's flooor.

They also put an open gas can in the boiler rooom. Fuses leading to the can and to fuel oil in the boiler- room failed to burn, as did those lit near the other vehicles. Harris said the military type fuses would have been easy to obtain.
