Louis, mical Plant LOS ANGF.LES iTl A million dollar oil fire that exploded storage tanks and sent flames towering over the harbor area was brought under control today. One worker was reported missing and two firemen were injured, neither seriously. Since much of the (uel was destined for military use, the navy and FBI aided by the Los Angeles arson squad began checking the possibility of sabotage. As tanks exploded, a pool of burning oil formed within a 20-(oot high fire wall around the storage area of Tide Water Associated Oil Co. But the wall held and kept the flaming mass from spreading to other sections. Fifteen of the 20 tanks within the 500 by 1,000-foot enclosure burned. F. E. Coyle. marine terminal superintendent of Tide Water, said damage would be more than one million dollars. Firemen estimated more than 80000 barrels of various fuels were consumed In the flames. The fire, of unknown origin, started when a 55.000-barrrl storage tank suddenly blew up, sending its lid about 250 feet Into the air.
