BOMB OUTRAGE
NO DEATHS AT WORLD'S FAIR
NEW YORK, July 4.
Four persons were injured, two of them seriously, by the bomb which exploded soon after it had been removed from the British Pavilion at the World's Fair. There were no deaths, as had been reported.
An electrician discovered the suitcase. None of the pavilion employees knew who had left it. Detectives were examining it when it exploded with such terrific force that it broke a heavy plateglass window in a Polish restaurant 100 feet away and left a crater five feet wide and two feet deep in the lawn. It blew fragments of an officer's clothing 50 feet away. Fair officials said a man telephoned the pavilion on the morning of July 2, saying: "Get out of the building; we are going to blow it up." Police, ordered an extra daily inspection thereafter. G-men and police are co-operating in an investigation.
