By the Assoclated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16 —Inves- tigators pointed tentatively to gas to- night as the cause of an_explosion which Thursday wrecked Ohio’s new $6.000,000 State office building, killed eight workmen and injured scores. Four explosive experts summoned here by Gov. George White from the E. I du Pont de Nemours Co., Wilming- ton, Del, agreed after preliminary studles that “there was no chance for the disaster to have resulted from high explosives.” Buttressing this opinion was a re- port from the Governor's official In- vestigating Committee that it, too, be- lieved the blast originated from “gas of some sort.” Both the explosive experts and the Quality A9 Governor's committee withheld final statements until removal of debris per- mits a thorough investigation of the blast which caused $1,000,000 damage. | Builders were encouraged by reports | from_Pittsburgh steel experts that the superstructure of the building did not appear greatly damaged.
