REIN8DORF. Oermany. June 14.
Nazis, grlme-stresked and grim, dug
Into the ruins of the explosion-shattered
munitions works today to bring
out the bodies of the dead. var-
lously estimated to number from 02
to 1000.
Survivors of the devastating blasts,
msny of them suffering from shock
and possessing only the clothes on
their backs, streamed from the town
on orders that It be evacuated.
Flames followed the explosions late
yesterday and added to the destruc
tion. A rigid censorship, enforced by po
lice rifles, was thrown about Relns
dorf. a huge munitions center and
therefore an Integral part of Ger
many's rearmament program.
Nulls Admit S2 Dead.
Nazi officials said there were Oil
dead, with 75 seriously Injured and
300 less seriously hurt. But unof'
flclal estimates placed the number
killed up to 1000.
The burgomaster told the Asso
ciated Press:
"I think an estimate of 2000 killed
Is too many, but 1000 would be
more accurate."
A witness to the terrifying scenes,
he described It as "a hell of heat
and explosions." The shock was felt
over an area estimated at 078 squsre
miles.
All forces of the nsJtl government
were aiding In the task of rescue
and rehabilitation.
Firemen, police, storm troopers
and workers attempted to get at
some 30 bodies reported to be lying
In the midst of ashes where a factory
stood yesterday.
Survivors, under strict orders not
to discuss the catastrophe with out
elders, stood anxiously about In Wit
tenberg, of which Relnsdorf Is a
suburb, awaiting word from loved
ones. Many of them had bandaged
needs and hands.
Rnhntnge Disclaimed.
Otto Heldenrelth. nasi district
lesder, speaking for the government.
said:
"ft Is out of the question for any
act or sabotage to have been com
mltted. It was a regrettable acci
dent. Our workers have been most
carefully sifted, so It waa (impossible
for any saboteur to have been ad
mitted."
Smoke lay over the entire region
and minor exploslona continued for
seven hours after the original blast.
Offlclala aald Relnsdorf waa saved
from complete destruction because
ine ractory was some distance from
most buildings. Roofs were torn off
ana windows were smashed.
Tlie burgomaster called It "the
greatost catastrophe In central Ger
many's history."
"There were many eeenea that
rent my heart," ha said. "Mothers
and children crying and WTlnglng
their hands and screaming to be let
into me inferno to try to rescue
some loved one.
"They were turned back, of course,
for to go In would have meant their
Instant death. ... I witnessed many
scenes of heroism. Among the last
j icave tno town were the telephone
operators. They stuck to their poets
as long as there was any need of
summoning nelp. Then they left
also."
Devastated Quetta

KARACHI, India, June 14. (AP)

SALLEE SENTENCE
SET FOR TUESDAY
T
Pawing of sentence upon Melvln
Franklin Bailee, 38, SERA worker of
the Yankee creek district, found
guilty of a statutory offense Involv
ing a seven-year-old Central Point
girl, was deferred until next Tuesday
morning by Judge H. D. Norton, in
circuit court ody. Further time
was requested by Bailee's attorney.
M. O. Wllklns. Snl.ee was found
guilty by a Jury a- week ago, after
short deliberation.
The same time was fixed for sen
tencing of Basil Petrofr, 45, of Ash
land, who entered a plea, of guilty to
a statutory offense Involving a six-year-old
Ashland girl. Petroff made
a complete admission.
The court said It desired to act
upon both cases at the same time.
A suspended sentence of six months
was granted Ronald Wsll&ce, 30, of
Ashland, who entered a plea of guilty
to cashing a forged $7.45 check upon
Tom Carter of the Bellvley service
station, and using the money to at
tend the carnival appearing In this
city a week ago. '
Wallace pleaded guilty, and charac
terized his offense as "Just a silly
notion, that I went through with."
Wallace's employer. G. F. Carson of
Ashland, asked leniency of the court,
and declared "I was dazed when I
heard Ronald did this. He was al
ways a good boy, of ordinary Intelli
gence." The court declared "the remark
able thing In this case Is Its Idiocy,
and I sometimes wonder if men who
commit forgery have goon common
sense. Forgery is the most insidious
of all crimes, and Is a form of tem
porary Insanity. There are more 're
peaters' for forgery than In any other
offense.
"The court does not like to put
young men In the 'pen. I will try
reformation and see If you show tny
better sense in the future," said the
court in granting leniency.
