Vesuvius not as violent as Peleee and La Soufriere
Dispatches from Washington compare the eruptions of Vesuvius with Pelée and La Soufrière. Observers note smoke heights of up to seven or eight miles for the West Indian eruptions, while Vesuvius remains linked to lava flows rather than gas. Professor Heilprin discusses eruption histories and casualty patterns, with St Pierre losses totaling 30 600 and Overlook 2 000. The article closes with a political note that Louis Fox may seek the Allen County state senate seat, praised as a capable, principled candidate.
