A spectacular explosion that was heard five miles from this Ohio river valley town yesterday wrecked a 105.635-gallon gasoline storage tank and set fire to another at the Canfield Oil refinery.

Roy W. Helm, plant superintendent, said 35,000 gallons of gasoline went up in smoke, causing damage estimated at $50,000. Two company maintenance workers narrowly escaped, fleeing from tie refinery tank farm. One of them was knocked down, but not Injured. The top of the huge storage tank was blown 100 yards away, across adjacent railroad tracks, igniting the second tank.

This blaze was soon extinguished. A holiday lull prevented possible loss of lives at the plant where three years ago a similar explosion killed two and Injured others. Helm said gasoline were being pumped into the tank that exploded, a modern petroleum storage vat only five years old. He said the explosion apparently was caused by static electricity. 'Profiteering' Blamed for Economic Slip WASHINGTON, Dec.

26. advisers to President Roosevelt appeared tonight to be preparing the way for major attack on what they termed the "monopoly problem." possibly very early In 1938. Robert H. Jackson, assistant attorney general, went on the radio with a denunciation of "profiteering" by monopoly which, he said, exacted such high prices that purchasing diminished and the country went into the present economic slump. It has been freely predicted that the monopoly issue would be made an outstanding one at the session of congress next month.

It has generally been assumed, though never announced officially, that some detailed recommendations would be made to congress by President Roosevelt, who has expressed himself in favor of new legislation on the subject. Some students of trends in the capital have expressed belief that administration men might seek a congressional investigation designed to result in a national program of monopoly control. Jackson, who fs known to have the ear of President Roosevelt, has been hammering in recent weeks' at the theme that the business recession is attributable to State Relief Load Shows Sharp Increase 'IARRISBURG. Deo. 26.

P) Pennsylvania's relief problem was complicated further today by other sharp Increase In unemployment that swelled the rolls beyond the half-million mark. Karl De Schwelnitz, who must answer satisfactorily charges of inefficiency tomorrow or lose his as secretary of public assistance, reported that 34,371 persons were added to the rolls during the week ended December 18. This Jump brought the total receiving cash aid to 521,573. As a result, the state had to spend more than the week before, a total of $1,250,065 or an average of $2.40 a person, Widespread Industrial layoffs, notably in the soft coal and steel Industries, were blamed by De Schweinltr for the steady mounting list of unemployed. De Schwelnitz has said that the state was facing a deficit of beyond the $99,00000 provided for unemployment relief in the next two years.

The plan adopted by the 1937 legislature would avetage an outlay of less than a million dollars a week. The department of public assistance has been disbursing much more than a million every week since it was created six months ago. The department placed 44,238 persons on the relief rolls In the week ended December 18. Most of them, De Schwelnitz said, were for loss of private employment or decreased wages. A small percentage were dropped from federal work iftlief.

At the same time, went off the relief rolls. Slightly fewer than half won private employment, one-third gained federal works jobs and the remainder dropped out for miscellaneous reasons. The net incra-e attributed directly to loss of private employment was 7,585 cases, which De Schweinitz said was the greatest since September, 1935, hen the former state emergency relief board was in existence.

Name Address Town a in at at the so the to a of the LONDON, Dec. 26. Citizens of London poked wary heads out of doors today and heard strange tales of the worst Christmas fog since 1904. The grimy curtain of "pea soup," lifting slowly in most sections, left a trail of dignified police bowled over by motorists, charred debris where firemen fought fires they could not see and millions of raw throats. Probably the mostly nettled victim of all was Goalkeeper Bar-tram of the Charlton soccer team, who stuck doggedly to hl8 post not knowing the game had been called off until long after the other players had left the field.

A searching party finally found him. The fog made a crazy patchwork AHS Students Will Attend Press Parley A number of journalistic students of the Altoona High school and their faculty sponsors will leave the city this morning for Hershey, Pennsylvania where they will attend the twelfth anual convention of the Pennsylvania School Press association to be held today and tomorrow in the Hershey Junior-Senior High school.

Flue Fires Cause Property Damage Several fires, one of which resulted In considerable property 'damage, engaged the attention of city firemen over the holidays. Most of the runs were made for burning flues. Sparks from one flue also caused greater damage by igniting a window. Company No.

1 did not go into service when summoned at 11:59 o'clock Christmas day to Twelfth avenue and Fifteenth street after an automobile owned by Earl Wagner had caught fire. The blaze was attributed to sparks from a short circuit igniting grease, according to firemen. Firemen from Juniata No. 1 responded to a call at 12:53 o'clock Christmas morning at Ninth avenue and Fourth street, Juniata. The alarm was recorded as false, Sparks from a burning flue at the residence of John Rupp, 1917 Fifth avenue, caused some damage when a window caught fire about 2:31 o'clock yesterday afternoon Company No.

3 also used three gallons of chemicals to extinguish a burning flue at the residence of Mrs. R. Pavoni, of 237 Seventh avenue. The alarm was turned in at 7:31 o'clock last night. Burning Rags Give Firemen Trouble Five hundred bags of blazing rags gave firemen more than ordinary difficulty early Christmas afternoon before the fire which was of undetermined origin, according to firemen, was brought under control.

Stored in a concrete garage at the rear of the Julius Sander residence, 1537 Eighteenth street, the flaming rags threw off great volumes of smoke which hampered the efforts of firemen to get at the seat of the blaze. Summoned at 2:12 o'clock firemen from company No. 1 were required to use five booster tanks to extinguish the bags most of which were destroyed. Three Local Boys Held On Larceny Giarges Three boys whose ages range between 12 and 15 years were arrest ed at 5:20 o' ck yesterday after noon in Twelfth alley, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, and booked on charges of breaking, entering and larceny.

Dec. 26. Police said Vincent Franco, 26, killed his 22-year old sweetheart, Antoinette Imperiale, today by clubbing her on the head with an iron pipe, shooting her and driving his automobile over her body. Police Sergeant Arthur Cokley quoted Franco as saying he was angry with her "because she didn't love me any more." Cokley said several motorists told him that Franco parked his car on a lonely avenue on the outskirts of the city and began beating the girl with the 10-inch pipe. When she ran screaming from the car, Cokley said, Franco fired several shots at her.

and as she continued drove over the sidewalk and ran her down. The girl was writhing on the ground when a police car arrived but died within a few minutes. Standing nearby in a field was Franco, police said, mumbling Incoherently "she didn't love me ay more." Chicago Mayor Signs Betting Ordinance CHICAGO, Dec. 26 OP) Mayor Edward J. Kelly signed an epochal ordinance authorizing "parl-mut-uel brokers" to handle bets on horse races.

Legalizing that form of gambling for the first time in the city's history, the legislation paved the way for the formal opening of the track agents' shops on Jan. 6. Under the ordinance's provisions, the "brokers" will accept wagers, telegraph them to the nation's tracks and charge a five per cent commission. The future of the new system was clouded by uncertainty. An early court test of its legality was predicted by its sponsors.

The ordinance was designed to eliminate the old-fashioned "book makers," those furtive operators who received and paid off on bets at news stands, cigar stores, gilded gaming halls and clubs. An Illinois statute, enacted 50 years ago, prohibited speculation on the horses. The pari-mutuel act of 1927 empowered commissioners to take bets at the race tracks. But municipal Judge E. L.

Mc- Garry recently ruled book making was not contrary to the state code since the latter law failed to stipulate wagering away from the horse yards was Illegal. However, Governor Henry Hor ner contended the council had no right to approve the new ordinance and argued it meant "nothing." PITTSBURG (JP) Common Pleas Court Clerk Thomas H. Moore spent his "hristmas day explaining to friends over the telephone that the news of his death had been greatly exaggerated. A reports started Friday had become so widespread that scores of sympathetic acquaintances called to express condolences.

The governor, in a speech pre pared for a nationwide broadcast, offered as "some suggestions to meet this problem of the machine that brings magnificent production and miserable Fair wages and shorter hours.

"This great works program should give us first, decent housing; second, broad, safe, one-way roads with islands between, traf-ficx third, rural electrification the governod elaborated. Looking at housing as "the key industry' of them all," Earle pointed out: "From an humanitarian standpoint it gives courage and hope and real physical comfort to those of our people who need it most.

Some vandal has cut away the bronze banjo -that Uncle Ned held long on the statue to Stephens Collins Foster in Highland park. The monument portrays Foster, famous American folk song composer, standing, while at his feet. Uncle Ned, one of the most celebrated of his musical characters, strums away at what was once bronze banjo. An appeal to citizens of Pittsburg to return the missing instrument failed.

In a western state a woman killed her husband because he refused to buy her a fur coat, and a jury composed entirely of men. mind you convicted her of mur- ished from the face of the earth? the actions of big business itself. Tonight he said: "It is the monopolists, and those so near monopoly as to control their prices, who by profiteering have simply priced themselves out of the market, and priced themselves into a slump. "When, the business goes into a slump, the workmen go home without jobs. When workmen go home without jobs the grocer, the baker, the clothier and all the rest have lost their oustomer.

When the customer is lost the merchant cancels his order for goods. "And when the cancellation reaches back to big business, where it started, the big business man clamors that government should give him confidence." Jackson denied assertions that steep price rises have been caused by wage increases forced on industry by the new growth of labor unions. "Take for instance," he said, "the most dramatic wage increase of the year the 10 percent wage increase in steel. I have in Washington a detailed and authoritative study as to Increases in steel prices, wages and costs between April-June 1936 and April-June 1937. "This study shows that the Increases In iron and steel prices, effective Dec.

1, 1936 and March 1, 1937, were three times as great as necessary to cover the Increases In the cost of both labor and raw material during the same period." Declaring that Lammot DuPont called labor trouble one of the most important difficulties of private enterprise, Jackson said: "Does private enterprise stop to consider how much of our labor troubles are with us simply because too much of private enterprise took an attitude of obstruction, evasion and avoidance toward the labor laws of 20 years ago and the labor laws of three years ago and prevented the labor from being worked out by law before we had to meet a host of other problems?"
