Horrible death toll from Hamburg phosgene gas
The Hamburg chemical cloud has been dispersed mainly by atmospheric conditions, but the death list may grow with about 200 hospital victims expected to die. The gas caused widespread destruction and raised questions about chemical warfare and treaty prohibitions. A man named Frank Krubik was rescued after being trapped in a mine for over two days, with at least sixty dead and fourteen saved in the mine incident at Mather, Pennsylvania. There is also a Chicago injunction case where Mrs. Johnson sought to prevent her husband from buying flowers and candy amid a divorce dispute, noted by Judge Sabath as unprecedented.
