By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 8.—An explosion and fire at a distributing plant of the Richfield Oil Corporation in Long building and wrecked four tank care. Fire department officials estimated the damage at $200,000. Firemen summoned by five alarms, aided by five fireboats, fought the flames for more than an hour and suc- ceeded in saving several other tank cars and large storage tanks. Several other oil plants were in dan- ger for a time, including stations of the Tidewater and Utility Oil Cos., but were not damaged. Several thousand gallons of high-test gasoline were burned. The cause of the explosion and fire was not definitely determined, but reports to police head- quarters said a chauffeur spilled gaso- line while filling the tank of his truck and that this was ignited.
