Reverie President' Sidney -Filer said yesterday lie told iiF employees hq had nothing he cbu.ld tell them in the way of plans for the,..future, pending complete determination of the losses. He said hi' tould not comment on the possibility " of re-opening. A preliminary survey indicated no available local site of comparable size. He would rot. comment either upon a suggestion that operations might be re sumed in a building west df Efland owneif by Bobby Roberts and others, which has .previously housed a sewing operation similar to Reverie’s. He described, the firm as being grossly, un-insured, with stock' ef mat-rials at their peak for the increased Fall business. Origin of the fire has not been determined, but an intensive and roninlote investigation continues under the leadership of Sheriff .(X. H. Flaytr n. with the. assistance of the SBI.^the Slate Insurance depart ment. and po ibjy even the FBI in some aspects of the disaster. F-'orv s-rau of evidence is being studied and persons connected ,hf‘ 'dan* are being quizzed in an effort to uncover an evidence .which might lead to a sclution to the mystery of the fire and explosion or determine if they were of incendiary in origin. The entire back wall of the steel and cinder block building, owned by Uzzle Motor Company, Durham, was blown out in the blast and the entire building consumed in little more than an hour’s time. Miraculously three petroleum storage tanks containing 32,000 gallons of gasoline and fuel oils and located only a few feet from the build frig did not explode Had this occurred, death and destruction would have involved hundreds of people and a half mile of a developed community. Hillsboro firemen with the aid of a tank truck and firemen from Mebane poured water fruitlessly on the fast burning building and courageously kent a cooling stream on the petroleum tanks to pre vent their explosion. * - * The plant has been the scene of a strike since April"3.of this year by cmolovees who said they sought union recognition. t Officials of the plant, however, said the plant at the time of the fire was operating at greater capacity than £ver before and prospects were bright for continued expansion. The company, which made ladies , panties for a number of national chains, had committments and or ders which insured capacity operations for some time to come. Several incidents bordering on violence occurred between the strikers and non-strikers* during thi^period of the strike and some acts wound up in court.

Shapiro said the offer would ex pire Nov. 29. 1957 and that Durham Bank »and Trust Co would be the sole arbiter of the reward fdnds. The bank is acting as agept for Shapiro's union.
