Police have charged 16 persons with rprowllng after dark. or with looting the damaged houses. Tension mounted as firemen made little headway against the inferno and it was discovered several more large tanks were expected to explode. Despite broadcast a p p e al .- and police orders, thousands of persons poured into the area by car and blocked all main thoroughfares. Police cruisers patrolled the streets keeping the curious out of the danger r area.
