District Court, N.D. Texas December 27, 1967, C.A. 4-697 (McDonald v. United States)

OPINION

BREWSTER, District Judge.

E. L. McDonald, a floor sander, sustained serious bums over a large part of his body in a flash fire and explosion which occurred as he was starting to refinish the floors in a vacant apartment of a Wherry housing project, owned, operated and maintained by the government. He died twelve days later as a result of the burns.
