Glasgow, Mar. 29.
Police today opened an investigation to determine if an act of arson was responsible for the gigantic fire which last night destroyed a warehouse stocked with about 900,000 gallons of whisky.
One more fireman was reported missing, bringing the total to 20, and
several civilians were feared dead as a result of the fire.
