S. BRINGS FORTH STATEMENT CITIZENS TO SHIP BLAZE Sixty Injured When Fire Burns Pier, Barges And Ships NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (UP) An inferno of flame, spread by half a dozen gasoline explosions, raced today over a JOIN GUARD FROM HULL t Brooklyn pier, killed at least seven 'men, injured 60, and destroyed a ship, a dozen barges, the pier and defense materials which brought the total estimated damage to more than $1,000,000. Sabotage was suspected immediately and its possibility investigated by six fedpral and local agencies and a special board created in Washington of Commerce by Secretary Jesse Jones. But Police Capt. John J. McGowan and Assistant District Attorney Edward J. Ifeffernan said they believed had a longshoreman 'been on the sneaking a smoke pier and somehow set fire to a highly inflammable bale of hemp which had just been unloaded. took six launches Police bodies from the water near the pier. One man died in a hospital. A dozen other men including Capt. 11. Teske of the freighter were unaccounted for. It was feared that some had been trapped aboard the freightPanuco of the er, the 3,570-toNew York & Cuba Mail line, which docked, .yesterday morning from Cuba, via Tampico, Mexico, Philadelphia and Kearney Point, N. J. The- Rev. James. Donovan, said he had police chaplain, ' seen a man .tying face down in the stern of the blazuig vessel, which was towed to the Q0vernors island mud flats and burned to the water level. Barges destroyed in the rapidly spreading fire were waiting to load on a cargo of crude oil, copper cable, structural steel, bales of cotton and soda ash as soon as the Panuco was unloaded. All was destroyed. A coordinated investigation was begun by the lederal bureau of investigation, the army and navy, police and fire departments and the Brooklyn district attorney. In addition the secretary of commerce appointed a committee of three to investigate the fire. Capt. McGowan, in charge of the Brooklyn homicide squad, said "it seems reasonably sure that the fire was not caused by sabotage. The Panuco was tied up at pier 27. where British freighters often take on cargoes and adjoining several used by the United States army and navy, unloading 2,400 bales of highly inflammable sisal, from Mexico, and a quantity of cotton, hemp, oil, tar products, copper and lead. Pier 27 is about two miles from the navy yard. Nearby were the lighters Oak-por- t and Bellport. said to have been loaded with navy materials which were to have been placed aboard the Panuco after about 120 longshoremen were through with their unloading task. Some of the 35 crewmen were of the also Panuco aboard. Several large pieces of machinery were on the pier and on another neabby were several pieces marked for the U. S. naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba. There were several drums of gasoline on the pier and these apparently blew up in the series of explosions which began at 11:40 a. m. There was one "very very loud" blast, according to a longshoreman who escaped, and then several 0thers which were muffled. The flames raced up the ship's sides, fanned by a stiff southwest breeze. The gasoline rolled blazing along the pier. With each explosion bil lows of flame rose 100 to 250 feet into the air. surmounted by a widening pillar of smoke. Three men were rescued from the ship after it had been towed away from the .pier. They had been hanging for a half hour from ropes over the burning vessel's side, suspended over the water and banging against 5."2-foo- Tuesday, Aug. 19 Relations between the ?1 admit-tuer- e ed States and Japan near the breaking con- it today after a long UNIT TONIGHT SUMMER FESTIVAL' FRIDAY NIGHT Meeting To Be Held In War One hundred children are the American now in readiness to present an r massador, Joseph C.

Attendants in a Logan hospital say that Mrs. Ethel Hatch remains in a critical condition. Her niece. Miss Lenora Hatch, who was hurt in the same accident, is in poor" condition. 6 WASHINGTON. -- vey Monday. With the fruit season in full bloom, the many stands which dot the state highway are offering a large variety of fruits and vegetables. In the old days, it was the custom for fruit growers to go into Idaho and "peddle" their fruit from trucks. Prohibitory laws now make this impossible, and so the Idaho folks now come to Brighim, as one can easily learn by watching the cars whch are crowding into the local fruit stands. July 1. The deferment measure was signed Saturday but not announced. In addition to providing the automatic deferments, it calls on the secretary of war to discharge from service the selectees who reached 28 on or ENGLAND before July 1, 1941, if they apply for discharge and it is not in conflict with the interests Peach Days Sept. 56 Planes Will Not LOGAN, Utah, Aug. 18 (UP) of the national defense.
