; they were massing three field ar-
mies to cross into South China.
They said a fourth army was
being rushed southward from a
nearby province and "invasion"
barges had been readied. That,
coupled with a heavy artillery bar-
, rage along a 45-mile front, had
brought fears that thr- 22-year-old
| civil war would resume in full
fury.

Cause Of Blast
That Killed Six
MAICION. S. I)., April II 'U.R>—
; Itutane gas from a leaking furnace
was blamed today for ;■ n explosion
which de.-trnyr-d St. Mary's f'atho-
! lie church, killing six I'alm Sun-
' day worshipiM'rs and injuring more
i than 40.
State fire marshal Arch OUhII
said an investigation showed that
the gas seeped through thr' small
brick church from a basement fur-
nace leak. Ilutane gas Is colorless
and odorless, arid its presence was
unsuspected.
Thr- blast occurred just before
the 9 a. m. mass yesterday when
two altar boys struck matches to
light the randies. O'Dell said even
a spark could have touched off the
explosion.
The shingle roof of the church
was blown into the air and fell
Ion the pews, buckling in the cen-
I ter. The walls collapsed craxily in
a shower of bricks and mortar.
Only the stcpel and arched donr-
way still stood.
Neighbors, spurred by the ang-
uished cries of trappr'.l worship-
pers, dug frantically through the
debris to rescue the injured. Some
of those less seriously hurt fought
their way through the rubble and
staggered from thr- doorway, black-
ened from the explosion.
Bulldozers quickly dragged*way
the roof nnd a crew af !>0 rescue
workers searched the debria for
bodies. After hours of digging they
called off the search und announc-
ed a death toll of six.
Some of the parishi.mers had
taken their places in the pews
while others were strolling into the
church when the blast broke the
quiet of T'alm Sunday morning.
The Rev. Joaeph Zimmerman,
who was putting on his vestments
at the time, suffered a leg injury-
arid possible broken ribs. He was
carried to the Parish house.
Postmaster W. W. Brady and
his wife were sitting in a front
pew. Brady said "the place blew
up" when the altar boys lighted
matches. He and his wife were
taken to a hospital at Mitchell.
The altar boys. Bobby Lnuns-
jbery, 10. and Kenneth Wagner, IS, i
'were among the Injured. |
