By the Associated Press. SHREVEPORT, La, June 20.—Maj C. L. Bodenhamer, 40, of Eldorado, Ark., former commander of the Amer- ican Legion, was burned fatally yes- . terday when a match he struck to light a cigarette set off gases in an oil field | near Henderson, Tex. The accident occurred when Boden- hamer, en route from Henderson to Houston on business, stopped at his oil lands in the East Texas fields to con- fer with an assistant, R. C. Cook, about | | reopening five wells. Bodenhamer was standing about 150 yards from the nearest well when he | started to light a cigarette. Explod- ing gases enveloped him in flames and | his clothes were burned from his body. Cook was burned about the face and hands. He died of his burns last night. The | body will be sent to El Dorado for | burial. He was elected national commander of the Legion in 1929 at the Louis- ville convention.

This provision of life’s ne- cessities should be an added incentive for the most gencrous possible re- | sponse to the appeals of Community Chests and other welfare organizations | throughout the Nation.” Calling attention to the many needs outside of those engendered by unem- ployment, Mr. Street said: “Social workers and social thlnkers of the United States are more hopeful than they have been for four years in consequence of the legislative enact- ment of President Roosevelt's program. | “PFear in the face of the terrific and | mounting burden on relief for the un- employed for which there seemed no | adequate program was characteristic of the conference a year ago in Philadel- | phia. Optimism and the belief that | even though the burden of relief was greater it could be handled adequately with Pederal relief appropriations rounding out the efforts of States and municipalities and private funds; and | confidence in the constructive possibili- ties for human service in the immediate future were the characteristics of this year’s conference.” Spurt in Horse Stealing.
