LATE NEWS
Gasholder Canard Of Nazis
British Type Is Safe
LONDON, Jan. 2 (Reuter)in a recent comununique the Nazis claimed that during a rald on Britain a gas- holder exploded. The type of gas- holder used in Britain does not explode.
The worst that could happen is that the escaping gas could Ignite.
On the other hand many of the German gasholders are of the water- less type in which pressure is main- tained by a piston inside the holder. Dainage to the casing or piston of a Germán gashokler might lead to nir mixing with the gas with the possi bility of a reni disaster.
