(UP) Dockets in local courts are crowd ed with suits representing more than $1,000,000 resulting from the Texas City disaster of last April. The explosion claimed more than 500 lives and injured thousands. Of the 28 disaster cases filed in the United States District court, 27 have been filed against the led eral government for a total of $10,- 000,000. In one of the largest cases, the Texas City Terminal Railway Co. brought suit against the American Equitable Assurance Company of Philadelphia for $2,300,000. The claim applied to terminal buildings which were destroyed when the ammonium nitrate cargo aboard the ships Grandcamp and High Flyer exploded. The Texas and New Orleans Railway Company brought suit against the government for $100, 000 damages in the destruction of 20 freight cars. Ten workmen's compensation cases total $70,000. Other claims by survivors of victims range from $6,047 to $167,000. Smart People Live In Glass Houses, He Says CHICAGO (UP) An authority on community planning says that home builders who abandon "out moded tradition" are putting money in their own pockets. Frank Sohn, a housing expert, believes that "keeping up with the architectural Joneses" .helps pro tect the value of a home ouuoer property. "Today's outstanding develop ment In home design is the sensi ble use of glass to create a new concept of indoor-outdoor living," Sohn says. "The builder who plans a house with old style, small windows is marking it 'vintage 1890' while it is still on the drawing board " Sohn said. "In 20 years the prop xiy will be " " !t ' - 1 Mil I r-uiil' piesi- veil nit siaiuic m'" ' id here -i Under Kiid link - direction, the 48.
