The explosion of a time bomb destroyed the lock of the Dortmund-Ems canal near Heine. The canal was blocked, seriously interfer ing with the complicated inland water way traffic in the Ruhr. This is the most serious case of sabotage yet reported on the Ruhr wrterways. The lock destroyed is near the junction of the Dortmund Ems canal with the main canal that runs down to the Rhine at Duisberg and Ruhrort, where the world's largest inland port :s located. The intention of the dynamiters ap parently was not to block the canal, but to drain the water from the main Rhine-Heine canal, which is the main waterway artery of the Ruhr. The French say this main canal has not been interfered with, as the locks on both sides of the one which was dyna mited were closed immediately after the explosion to prevent the drain ing of the main canal.
