Naphtha causes
Ohio explosion
AKRON, Ohio (UPI) Three
thousand gallons of highly volatile
naphtha, believed poured into the city
sewer system by striking rubber
workers, exploded in Akron yesterday,
rocketing manhole covers into the air,
blasting out the stained glass windows of
a cemetery church and leaving a two
mile scar.
"The area looked like it was hit by an
earthquake," said police Capt. David E.
Whitmire. "I saw a crater 80 to 90 feet
right after the explosion."
No one was injured when the ex
plosions erupted in the west side of this
Northern Ohio city of 272,000. Police,
moved in city buses to evacuate about 75
persons until the explosive liquid was
flushed from the sewers with water. The
evacuees were able to go home about
five hours later.
The explosion ripped up Glendale
Cemetery, shattering the stained glass
windows in its 100-year-old chapel, but a
cemetery spokesman said no graves
were damaged.
"What I thought was that the world
was coming to an end," said Brindley
Ferguson, 19, who with her four-month
old daughter was among those
evacuated to a National Guard Armory.
"1 thought to myself, 'Oh Lord, the world
is coming to an end.' "
"It sounded like a bomb," said

"The streets looked like they were
bombed," fire department Lt. Robert E.
Lord said. The explosion also ruptured a
water main and gas main and damaged
another church, the Church of God.

used in the repair of tires, was traced to
the Patch Rubber Co., where employees

Recall campaign
gains ground
MADISON, Wis. (AP) A campaign
to unseat the judge who said the sexually
permissive' atmosphere and the
provocative clothing women wear in
vited rape has gathered enough
signatures to force him into a recall
election, leaders of the drive said
yesterday.
Sponsors said 21,570 people have
signed petitions calling for the recall of
Judge Archie Simonson, whose remarks
from ,the bench last month infuriated
local feminists. State law requires 21,049
names.
The remark, "Should we punish
severely a 15- or 16-year-old boy who
reacts normally to it?", came at a
disposition hearing for a 15-year-old boy
found to have participated in a sexual
assault
The victim in the case, a 16-year-old
girl who was attacked by three youths in

said to have been wearing slacks and,a

Simonson ordered the 15-year-old boy,
who had pleaded no contest, to spend a
year at home under court supervision.
U.S. fears veto
computer deal
WASHINGTON (UPI) The ad
ministration yesterday blocked an
American firm's plan to sell the Soviet
Union a sophisticated computer because
of fears in Congress and the White House
that the system would be used for
military purposes.
The Soviets tried to buy the $l3 million
system known as Cyber 76 from
Control Data Corp., of Minneapolis for
use in weather research and forecasting.
The Commerce Department rejected a
request for an export license after
President Carter expressed strong
reservations about the proposed sale and
several House members urged that the
transaction be stopped.
William Schneider, a private con
sultant on defense uses of computers,
has said the Cyber 76 system could be'
used by the Soviets "to build better
nuclear weapons, more efficient
missiles and would permit them to in
terconnect all of. their air defenses to
effectively block an American second
strike which would follow any surprise
attack on the United States."
The Pentagon uses the same

guidance and other military uses.
A spokesman for Rep. Barry Gold
water Jr., R-Calif., a leader of the group
against the sale on Capitol Hill, said the
sale "would, have been an horrendous
mistake."
A Commerce Department statement
said the export license was denied
"because it is far more powerful than
any computer known to be available to
the Soviet Union and the likplihood of
diversion to military or strategic uses is
of serious concern."
Commerce's Office of Export
Administration, which has the
responsibility of issuing licenses for
American firms to sell products over
seas, said it allows exports "only when it
can be satisfactorily determined that
the transaction would not make a
significant contribution to the military
potential of those nations that would be
detrimental to U.S. and . Western
security."
