BOMB-DUMP EXPLOSION
LONDON, Nov. 30. The Air Ministry has made an announcement about the bomb-dump explosion at Burton-on-Trent. It is stated that the bombs destroyed totalled about 4000 tons, which is less than the bomb-load dropped in some of the raids on Germany. The main part of the storage dump was not damaged. A court of inquiry was being set up. There was no need for anyone to think that the accident was due to enemy action.
