NEW YORK—A can of gasoline being carried in the cab of an ice cream vending truck was responsible for a chain reaction explosion that injured 131 persons in a crowded pedestrian hall in New York's financial district. Calling the explosion accidental, the New York City chief of detectives said the flames apparently had come from a $2\frac{1}{2}$ gallon oil can used to fuel the compressor that operated the refrigerator that worked through the night. That eliminated the possibility that a bomb might have caused the explosion Friday afternoon.

Riot breaks truce at Japanese airport

In Washington Charles Shapiro, State Department spokesman, said, "The United States is deeply concerned over the tragic shooting in Charlottesville that we call on all to exercise the utmost restraint and to obey the calls for ceasefire. We hope that all involved in this fighting will recognize that innocent lives are being lost in another further fighting will serve no one's interest."

He said that whoever was setting the fires knew where available firefighting personnel and equipment was located and set the fires away from it.

Chandler's curfew order closed all retail businesses, barred the sale of gasoline in containers other than vehicle tanks and kerosene for the administration of alcoholic beverages during the curfew hours.

Somali faults Western inaction
Siad Barre said the Soviet Union was neutralizing the United States while it pursued what Siad Barre said was a plan to take control of Western energy and raw material sources in the Middle East and Africa.
He said he had given the United States written assurance that the weapons that he has requested would not be used offensively against surrounding states. Somalia claims adjacent parts of Ethiopia, Kenya and the tiny seasort African nations, including the ethnic Somali populations in those areas.
Somalia, on the Horn of Africa overlooking oil shipping lanes from the Mideast, once was the Soviet Union's biggest oil producer. Barre expelled Soviet military advisers in November and broke off relations with Cuba after those countries threw their support behind Ethiopia in its war against over Ethiopia's eastern Oqaden Desert.
Ethiopian troops reinforced by Cuban soldiers and Soviet advisers drove the Somali army from the Ogaden in March.
