Cleveland, Oct. 21 U.(0 The death toll continued to mount tonight as firemen searched the ruins of a 50-block area on Cleveland's east side In an ef fort to find the charred remains of additional victims of a holo caust that was expected to claim more than 100 lives. The devastated area, embrac ing approximately 165 buildings of nearly all types, was virtual ly leveled by the blaze that started yesterday when a gas storage tank exploded like a flame-thrower at the East Ohio Gas Company plant. 'J Coroner Samuel Gerber an nounced that 75 persons were known to have perished In the fire and he added that the toll probably would exceed 100 when a thorough search of all wrecked buildings was complet ed, probably by tomorrow. There were 51 bodies, includ ing those of two children and several women, at the morgue and at least 13 were identified. The others were burned beyond recognition, many merely a panful of charred bones. Bodies of the other 24 victims were still at the scene. Led by Coroner Gerber, 80 volunteer workers were con ducting a systematic search of the debris, but still-burning fires and red-hot bricks and walls kept them away from some parts of the area. The fire was the mose devas tating in the city's 148-year his tory. Besides the persons burn ed to death and the buildings destroyed, more than 100 auto mobiles and other valuable properties were wrecked. Un official estimates placed the damage at close' to $10,000,000. A total of 214 persons were hospitalized but most were dis charged after treament, while another 200 were renorted as probably injured to a lesser de-j gree. Doctors and nurses in all j of Cleveland's hospitals, which i were jammed with fire victims, worked valiantly to save the lives of two persons reported critically burned and hurt. Meanwhile, the community aided by the Red Cross mar shalled all of its forces to pro vide food, shelter and clothing RUG and UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT ADDED Experienced Workmen VICTORY CLEANERS 408 E.

R00SEVELT1AT10 E BEAR CREEK VOTE That Governor Dewey prom ises to defeat President Roose velt and run ahead of the Willkie majority of four years ago in Medford Is indicated by a straw ballot at Bear Creek Orchards packing plant. The ballot was taken as part of the program fol lowing the annual Bear Creek dinner, which was attended by 250 employees. Stunts, music, talks and the presentation of gifts were also included on the program. Four years ago the vote at Bear Creek ,wa?: Roosevelt, . 75; Willkie. 25. This year the vote is Roose velt, 123; Dewey 118. In other words President Roosevelt defeated Willkie four years ago by 50 votes, a ratio of exactly three to one, while this year Roosevelt barely noses out Dewey by five votes in a total of 241 cast. Four years ago Wendell Will kie carried the county by ap proximately 1400 votes, so if this straw ballot Is an accurate index of the situation this year Gov ernor Dewey's majority should exceed 3000. a Treat!
