vivors told today of the stark
horror which swept passengers
as balls of fir rolled tnrougn
crowded street car which
struck a gasoline truck.
Arelene Franzen, 18, said:
"There was a terrible crash.
Then flames poured in on us
from the front of the car and
rolled like balls of fire to the
back. Then the fire was everywhere."
Miss Franzen was riding with
a friend. Carolyn Rudenga, 18.
Everybody Screamed
"Everybody screamed and
started pushing. Carol and I
tried to get to the rear away
from the fire.
"Suddenly I was knocked
down and people started to walk
on me, but I managed to get up
again. People even clawed at the
doors but they would not open."
Miss Franzen said a woman in
front of her shoved so hard, Miss
Franzen's arm was pushed
through a window. A man out
side grabbed her arm and hauled
her out of the inferno through
the window.
"I looked back into the street
car and I saw Carol standing in
the aisle with her hair all on
fire. That was the last I saw of
her."
Miss Rudenga's body Inter was
identified by her brother, Ed
ward, 26, at the county morgue.
He recognized her from the fill
ings in her teeth.

then a crash. Everybody was
screaming and howling. '

that blocked the lower half.
"I fell out and landed on too
of a car. Then I fell off onto the
ground."
Abelkas broke his nose, his
arm was shredded by glass, and
he suffered third degree burns.
Officials at St. Bernard's hos
