4 Killed in Mexico Explosion

MEXICO CITY--Three explosions, possibly set by saboteurs, sent flames racing through a Mexican tanker loading oil at Tampico today, killing at least four men and injuring 20, as this country awaited only a proclamation by President Avila Camacho to put it formally at war with the Axis.

Three of the four crew members whose bodies were recovered were Americans and eight other Americans were among the injured.
