MARKET QUOTATIONS Still No Trace Of 11 Missing Astoria, Ore., Dec. 21 W) The fate of 11 persons, missing in a fire which swept a ship anchored in the mouth of the Columbia river, still was not determined. ' One hundred three others, in cluding 23 passengers and 80 crtew members were rescued by the coast guard shortly after flames whipped through the mid section of the Danish vessel, Erria, early yesterday. Crewmen said the fire started from sparks from a shorted electric cable, a" few minutes later a hold was on fire. Survivors said crew members ran from cabin to cabin pound ing on doors and ordering pas sengers to lifeboat stations. i Tout of the eight lifeboats were lowered, the first with women and children and the others with men. Three boats burned and one was not launch ed. The coast guard station, only a mile away, rushed tugs to the scene to pick up the lifeboats. One survivor, E. L. Blythe of Portland, said "there was no panic, but most of the passen gers left their luggage behind. Some of them were in night clothing and overcoats." 465-Lb. Santa World's Biggest Canton, O., Dec. 21 VP) Santa Claus in neighboring Minerva, O., finds it' quite impossible to squeeze into a chimney. In fact, helonce got stuck in a bathtub. But this Santa his real name Is Raymond Fry, 47, a Minerva furniture dealer doesn't worry about his 465-pound bulk. He claims he is the world's biggest Santa Claus, and he's a Jolly man when Christmas comes around. . . . For five years now. Fry has been playing St. Nick for chil dren's parties and other gather ings. He scorns pillows in fa vor of his honest-to-goodness paunch, but on one occasion he regretted that. It was in Chicago, says Fry, and he was playing Santa for a "bunch of tough kids." "They punched and pulled at me," he says. "When I took my suit off, after that appearance, I was black and blue all over." Not at all averse to talking about his weight, Fry says: "I don't need anything un usual in the way of furniture to support my weight, but I do have an extra long bath tub, "I got stuck once this sum mer in the tub because I had put too much soap in and could not get enough traction to lift myself up." For breakfast, this Santa en joys six eggs, bacon, toast, cof fee and jelly (it used to be a dozen eggs). Then, in mid-morning, a cereal, followed by a big lunch, a big supper, and oc casionally a snack before bedtime. Danish Motorship Burns The Danish motdrship Erria caught fire at the mouth of the Columbia river with 114 persons aboard. Rescuers got 103 to safety. Search con tinues for the other 11, who may be in a missing lifeboat. Coast guard vessels are shown fighting the flames after pas sengers and crew were rescued. (AP Wirephoto) 'We Were Lucky' . Rescue Off Burning Ship Told Astoria, Ore., Dec. 21 (IP) "We were terribly lucky," Eva M. P o w 1 e y of Winnipeg, Canada, said today in a dramatic ac count of her rescue from the burning ship Erria near here yesterday. She said she and her niece, Mariorie Hazelwood of Victoria, B.C., were asleep in a cabin on the third deck when the stew ardess knocked on the door. "We got up and got dressed. I forgot the coat to my suit, but I put on my street coat. We grabbed two towels to hold over our noses, she added. "By that time the smoke had filled the corridor. Ihe steward ess had told the crew that we were still not out of our cabins. A man with a gas mask came along the corridor to lead us out. I didn t get his name, but we held onto his coat tails and went up three flights to the boat deck. "We were never frightened But we were lucky, wad we gone back for some of our valu ables we would not be here. That's what happened to many people aboard. They went back for something. We lost all of our clothes and our jewelry but what we had on. Our total losses would amount to about $5000, she continued. "We reached the boat deck in time to see one of the lifeboats tip forward and enter the water head first. Luckily, no one was in it. Our boat, after it was launched made three trips back to the ship to pick up survivors hanging on ropes. On the last trip the water was only six inches from the gunwales o( the boat. We were in danger of being swamped as the water poured out of an exhaust pipe on the boat and into our lifeboat," she said. "One of the women started screaming, but a passenger in the boat told her to shut up, and in no uncertain terms, she did. After we landed, we got a real reception from the coast guard, the navy and the Red Cross. It was terrible about those people who lost their lives. We knew all of them personally. We had been on the boat 10 days. I guess we won t really feel this disas ter for a week. Then it will hit us. "I don't know what we are going to do. We had .planned tol sail to New York and spend a week there. I know we won't be getting on any more boats. But we'll be taking a vacation for about a month. We were ter ribly lucky." 100,000 Boxes Fruit Destroyed Wenatchee, Dec. 21 (IP) Nearly 100,000 boxes of fruit were destroyed in a fire in the J. M. Wade Fruit Co. warehouse downtown Wenatchee late yesterday. the loss, including the building Fire Chief T. A. Weaver said valued at approximately $200, 000, would be between $750,000 and one million dollars. Wade said the fire started in empty boxes in the warehouse about 3 p.m. It was brought under control six hours later. Firemen saved a furniture company adjoining the ware house. Between 95,000 and 100,000 boxes of fruit were destroyed in the blaze but volunteers man aged to remove seven carloads of apples from the rear of the burning building. Below freezing weather ham pered firemen. Two were over come by smoke but quickly recovered. Ship Goes Aground, Quickly Refloated Seattle, Dec. 21 iff) The S. S. John Murray Forbes, outbound with a load of grain, went aground near the mouth of the Columbia river early today but was quickly refloated, the coast guard reported. Thirteenth coast guard district headquarters said the Liberty ship grounded near Three Tree Point, about seven miles east of Tongue Point, Ore., where the Danish motor vessel E i r r a caught fire and burned yester day. Commercial tugs pulled the Forbes free in about four hours the coast guard said. The Forbes figured in other maritime news recently. The vessel was one of three which took part in the rescue of sur vivors of the S. S. George Wal ton after the freighter caught fire 300 miles off the Washing ton coast. PORTLAND PltODUCE LIS?
