SPEWED STEW: Bam! went last night's dinner at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Stuart M. Gould, jr., of 2309 Yost Blvd., Pittsfield Park, when a pressure cooker full of stew exploded on the gas range. John, 5 1/2, and Michael, 7 1/2, point to the lid of the pressure cooker embedded in the kitchen ceiling. No one was hurt in the accident. The two boys and their two sisters were in an adjacent room, and Mrs. Gould was at a nearby kitchen counter at the time. The force smashed the burner of the stove.
