an Antonio Residents Shaken as TNT Containers Explode
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPD
Tons of TNT exploded In a con
crete bunker at the Medina nu
clear weapons plant Wednes
day, panicking residents into
believing it was an atomic
blast.
After the original shock of
the explosion, which staggered
pedestrians and blew out store
windows in downtown San An
tonio 12 miles away, people
panicked and fled in every di
rection from the plant.
Roads outside the site were
clogged with bumper-to-bumper
traffic and a huge black cloud
from the explosion drifted slow
ly over the area.
People as far as 50 miles
away called to ask what had
happened.
Inside the plant confines, of
ficials were already piecing to
gether details of the blast and
checking for radioactivity. It
was soon determined that a
concrete storage bunker con
taining 13 to 28 tons of TNT
had exploded while three men
were loading containers of the
stuff into the bunker.
Suspect Gives Police
Paddy Wagon Problems
NEW YORK (UPI) - Ar-
resting suspected forger Falco
Barone, 30, was no trouble for
police Wednesday but getting
him to the station house was a
weighty problem.
Barone, who weighs 441
pounds, and has a 60-inch waist,
couldn't fit through the back
door of a patrol car.
Two policemen, shoving and
pulling finally managed lo
squeeze him into the front scat.

The men, Floyd T. Lutz, Mar

a flash in one of the containers
and dived into a ditch across
the road from the bunker. Two

Miraculously, there was no
damage other than the de
stroyed bunker and the blown
out windows.

blast, even though some fission
able uranium had been stored

Soviet Union Getting No Special Privileges
In Negotiating Wheat Deal With United States
(Continued from pace 1)
Wheat: Kennedy said he does
not know what the outcome will
be of negotiations for sale of
U. S. surplus wheat to Russia.
These are commercial negotia
tions, he noted, and said the
United States is giving the So
viet Union no more privileges
than would be given any friendly
country.
Security: He justified on
grounds of national security new
travel restrictions which the
State Department imposed this
week on diplomats from five
eastern European Soviet satel
lite countries. These safeguards,
the President said, were deemed
necessary to protect the security
of U.S. defense sites.
Oil: To a question about Ar
gentine threats to take over
American-owned oil companies,
the President said this govern
ment was concerned about the
question of adequate compensa
tion for the companies and that
this issue was a subject now in
negotiation.
Medical: The President said
he believes his medical care bill
ultimately would get cut of com
mittee and reach a vote in the
House but not necessarily this
year. He said he was looking
forward to the "delivery" in this
Congress but it might not come
this year. He said this was like
ly to be "an 18-month delivery."
Missile: President Kennedy
said he didn't think that the
Russians had solved the problem
of developing an effective anti
missile missile any more than
the United States had. He said
the problem was one of "satura
tion." He acknowledged that the
United States had not solved the
problem of contending with a
"maximum" attack. But he re
fused to discuss in any detail
any information he might have
regarding an anti-missile missile

that a constitutional form of
