Poisonous Chlorine Gas
Routs 250 Persons from
Public Swimming Pool
ST. LOUIS — Poisonous
chlorine gas from a leaking pres
j surized cylinder routed about 250
j persons from a public swimming
! pool Wednesday, and 20 remained
in hospitals overnight. Many of
them were reported in serious
condition.
Eighty others, most of them
teen-age swimmers who fled from
the pool area, choking and gasp
ing for breath, were released after
treatment at several hospitals for
nausea and hysteria.
The gas was similar to that
used by armies in World War I.
The gas came from a leaking
three-’foot-tall, 150-pound cylin
der of pressurized chlorine in the
Downs Swimming Pool in South
St. Louis. Chlorine is used in
small amounts to purify water in
the pool.
When the leak developed, a light
wind swiftly spread the vapor
ized gas over the pool area.
Brief panic ensued as the
choking, gasping swimmers fled
to fresh air.

Navy Has Two of Thre«
Satellites Sent Aloft
Stuck Together
WASHINGTON (4>> — The Navy
said today two of the three satel
lites fired aloft in a single rocket
Wednesday night apparently have
not separater and thus are work
ing at reduced efficiency.
The third — the Navy’s ex
perimental navigational satellite
transit 4A — has separated and
is “working perfectly,” the an
nouncement said.
“Signals received from Injun
and Greb satellites indicate that
they have not separated from one
another, although transit 4A has
separated from the other two,”
the Navy said.
The 55-pound sphere called
Greb was designed to measure
X-ray radiation from the sun.
The Injun, a 40-pound drum
shaped vehicle, was sent up to
measure radiation in what are
called the Van Allen Belts around
the earth.
