Gas Pipeline
.Afire Alter Blast
' Centralis, Mo., Dec. 8 (U.B
A Panhandle Eastern Gas pipe
line exploded several miles from
here today causing a fire which
did an estimated $1,000,000 da
mage. The explosion occurred about
100 yards from a pumping sta
tion at 4:45 a.m. The fire still
was burning two hours later.
Centralla police reported that no
one was Injured.
A spokesman for the compa
ny said the fire was still "too
hot" to determine the cause of
the explosion. The pipeline,
which is eight to ten feet un
derground blew a hole in the
earth about 25 feet around.
Two nearby cooling towers
burned down, he said, and the
main engine room which is on
the pipeline was damaged as
were several other buildings.
Persons calling from five to
ten miles away reported that the
blast shook windows in their
homes or that they heard the ex
plosion early this morning.

John Summers,
Slayer, Gels Life
Tacoma, Dec. 8 W John Ed
ward Summers, 33-year-old ex-
convict and confessed slayer of
an elderly suburban Tacoma
couple, must spend the rest of
his life in prison.
A superior court jury found
him guilty yesterday of first de
gree murder in the slaying of
Howard Easley, 62. It recom
mended, however, against the
death penalty.
The jury of nine women and
three men deliberated nearly a
full day after receiving the tes
timony late Tuesday before
reaching a verdict.
Summers received the verdict
calmly. He smiled briefly at Al
bert Morrison, one of his coun
sel, and talked at length with
accompanying deputy sheriffs.
Mr. and Mrs. Easley were
slain in the Summit home July
16. Their bodies were found in
a Cascade mountain timber area
five days later. Summers sub
sequently was arrested in a San
Francisco rooming house where
he had taken employment.
Swedish Actress Rates Men
InU.S.BestofAllinWorld
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood UB Latins are wonderful lovers, and the English
have excellent manners, and Scandinavians are charming. But
American men, says Viveca Lindfors, are the best of all.
They may not offer a woman candy and flowers every eve
ning. But more important, says Miss Lindfors, they offer her
equal rights.
The Swedish actress has lived
in most countries of Europe and
has just returned to the United
States from a visit in Europe to
co-star in Columbia's "No Sad
Songs for Me."
"The most important thing I
find that American men offer
their women is equality," she
said. "Maybe American women
take that for granted. But to a
European woman, that is phe
nomenally attractive.
"In the United States, men ac
cept women as their mental and
social equals. They treat us as
pals. And European women love
it!"
European men have their as
sets, too, she added.
"English men are terribly
well- mannered. But they're
aloof as a glacier," she said.
"Scandinavian men are charm
ing. But they're too serious; fun
is something they work hard at.
"Latins are so romantic. But
it's all on the surface. They send
flowers. They kiss your hand.
They stand under a girl's win
dow at night and sing serenades.
But under it all, they look on a
woman as a serf."
To a woman used to such at
tentions, American men at first
seem brusque.
"When one gets to know them,
it is easy to understand," she
said. "American men are direct.
They treat women openly and
without subterfuge.
"American men want their
women to share all parts of life
with them. They discuss politics,
business, sports, the arts with
them. They consider women as

sensible creatures and not pretty
puppets.
"I find American men every
thing a girl could possibly want.
In fact, I married one."
