WEEK AND IS Propane Pipeline Leak Endangers Texas Residents Austin, Tex.-(UPD-A propane gas pipeline blew up on the outskirts of Austin early to day and quickly spread an ex plosive and toxic blanket of fumes over a three-mile area. Policemen, firemen and air men from Bergstrom Air Force Base, some wearing gas masks, rushed through the streets, pounding on doors to - awaken endangered fa milies. . Fumes Over Whole City " Four hundred families fled. Although the danger of an ex plosion was limited to a ra dius of three miles, the sick ening fumes spread over the whole city. Hundreds of persons report ed headaches and nausea. The danger of a widespread explo sion lingered for nearly 3 Vt hours, by which time the bulk of the gas had been diluted by the atmosphere. Engineers from the Phillips Pipeline Co., which owned the ruptured line, warned, however, that gas was still lying in low places and base ments. The nature of propane is such that it could lie in low places and basements for months unless it is found and blown out. Highly Explosive Propane is a gas much used for heating and cooking in rural areas. It can be trans ported and stored as a liquid but becomes a gas as soon as it touches air. It is both toxic and highly explosive when it gets out of control. As the policemen, firemen and servicemen warned the families to get out of their homes, they told them not to turn on the lights, lest sparks from light switches set off an explosion. Warned Not lo Smoke Families in the danger area were warned not to smoke and to turn out pilot lights in stoves and water heaters as soon as they could. The 10-inch pipeline ex ploded at 3:40 a.m. two miles southwest of the city limits. The explosion was in an open field. Before the flow could be cut off, gas boiled out of the rupture like fog. A south wind drove it rapidly toward Austin. 471 BOATS SINK Tokyo -DPD- A total of 471 boats sank during the ram page of Typhoon Vera which slammed into central Japan two weeks ago, the transpor tation ministry announced to day.
