Sabotage Hinted In La Guardia Hangar Fire
New York WPA administrator Lieut. Col. Brehon Somervell declined to rule out sabotage in the La Guardia hangar No. 4 blaze that caused estimated damages from 250 600 to 500 000. He said investigation by the fire marshal would determine if sabotage occurred and noted only about 33 WPA workers were laid off, with others transferred. Investigators found no conclusive proof of intent, and no airplanes were in the hangar which was leased to Transcontinental and Western Air and slated to open this month. The city and federal government had no insurance on the hangar.
