Buildings Wrecked In Washington army and navy officials said a preliminary check of their records of defense orders did not show that any contracts had been awarded to the company. Police said there were 15 buildings at the plant, but only half of one remained standing after the blast.

Those destroyed varied from 100 by 200 feet in size, the main plant, to sheds. Also demolished was the repair shop of the Middlesex Water company, adjoining the signal plant. Injured included persons in their homes nearby and on the street. Windows were shattered over a radius of a quarter-mile almost without exception, while many were broken in Bayonne, eleven miles away. The plant is situated in Middlesex county, about 19 miles south of Newark and a similar distance from Manhattan.

Buildings shook in much of central and northern New Jersey and throughout State Island, N. which is just across a sound from Woodbridge. John Costello, undertaker to whose morgue the five dead were taken, said the bodies were horribly mutilated. He expressed belief one was that of a woman. Coroner J.

The explosion gouged two craters In the ground, one about ix feet deep and the other, three.

It made a shambles of the plant, which sprawled over an area of about 100 yards square, and rained lead pipe from the water company's shop. Homes Shaken On the opposite side of Wood bridge avenue, which runs be tween the heart of Woodbridge and Port Reading, was a three- family home where 14 children were getting ready for school. Fred Vanderhof, one of the tenants, said he was sitting in his kitchen when he heard a ter rific explosion, he was cut by flying glass, but rushed to make sure his baby was safe, then hurried to the street There he found his mother-in-law, Mrs. Julia Gulics, bleeding profusely from a scalp cut. She was one of those taken to the Perth Am- boy General hospital.

John Navy, water company employe 100 feet from the signal plant, was knocked down, stun' ned and cut in several places. Electric service to a large part of Woodbridge was disrupted when the explosion tore down a line from the Cartaret sub station to Woodbridge. NEW CASTLE, Pa Nov. 12 UP) Deputy Coroner T. A.
