Inchon, Korea (U.R) An
overflowing U. S. Army storage
tank containing 400,000 gallons
of gasoline exploded today and
hundreds of South Korean

fled in terror across the rice pad

directly toward the flames.
"His clothing Just popped right
off him," an American soldier
said. "And an explosion threw
him down the hill. He is still up
there by $he tank and couldn't
be alive."
Members of an American anti
