Blast Inquiry Postponed Known Dead in Texas Reaches 425/ Oil Workers Huni Bodies MEW LONDON. Tex.. M.iucb 19— | T’^'i - MinCary board of inquiry this afternoon postponed ita Investigation into the cause of the explosion that wrecked the world’s largest country school as volunteer rescue workers pushed the check of debris from which they removed 411 school children and 14 teachers. Military leaders directing 1000 weary hard-bitten oil field workers In the search of the debris for additional victims, said that the death toll agreed with the United Press compilation of 425 dead. A check of hospitals and homes ln an era with a radius of 40 miles showed at least 125 Injured. Officials who supervised the search of the wrecked building said the checkup should be oomplete within a few hours. ,Throughout the morning only five bodies were found and rescue workers did not expect to find many more. Those found under heavy debris were so mangled that Identification was impossible. Most authorities believed that the explosion was caused by an accumulation of gas that was piped directly from the oil wells whose derricks dot the pine forest around the hilltop school to Individual heaters ln each of the school rooms. The military board delayed Its Investigation until tt can hear the testimony of an expert on explosives.

The newspaper attained a 22-point standard of improvement. Other journals to receive recognition were the Excelsior Life with 17 points and the Chaffey United Press with 13. As runner-up In the high school division, thc Life was awarded a Daily Trojan plaque, symbolic of second place. The United Press was given first place in the Junior college class, also winning a Daily Trojan prize. PLAN IS EXPLAINED Originated by contest officials of Ihe University of 8outhem California, the U, S. C. rating plan ls an innovation in rating systems. Under the scheme, the award is presented to the school paper which shows the greatest improvement over the previous year. "By the new plan, school publi-' cations compete against themselves only; the product of one year is \ pitied against the previous year." explained Roy L. French, diteetor oi the U. S. C. School of Journalism. ‘"Thus any school, regardless of size and no matter what the circumstances under which lt publishes, may hope to win the award. BETTER PAPER IS GOAL “Working under the same conditions as last year’s staff and producing a better paper is the desired goal. Under the old plan, sohool publications competed against each other without regard for the fact that almost no two of them are published under the same set-up. Often the good or bad results are not traceable to the ability of the staffs but are the result of circumstances over which the student staffs have no control." Not only Is the new sot at regulations designed to further interest among small newspapers which lack facilities to compete successfully against larger and better-equipped institutions, but lt is hoped that all the entrants will stress Improvement each year and thus receiwe lasting benefit from the contest.

Mechanics, who overhauled her plane yesterday ‘ practically rebuilt it." They replaced the propellers which had been slightly pitted by rain and planned to make a test flight early today.

STREAMLINE IS NEW THEME OF DAILY TROJAN
Today's "High School Day edition marks the second issue of "streamline" in headlines of the Daily Trojan.
“Streamline” is the name applied to the modem trend toward typographical slmpilicity for want of a better term. It means that Tempo face heads have been substituted for the more elaborate Cheltenham and Goudy types.
It will also be noticed that headlines are made to stand even at the left side of the column, and that the length of each line is more loosely determined than heretofore. This allows greater freedom in selection of words and eliminates “padding,”
