Wash Dec. 27 m Hundreds of people who last night held their breaths watch ing an unconscious fireman hang head down in an entangling life line 40 feet off the street and cried out when another fireman lost control of his line and half fell five stories learned only to day that a third fireman had perished in the warehouse blaze. The fire, breaking out on the top floor of the five-story fire proof warehouse of Lomax-Grim- mer Warehouses, Inc., rolled up such dense smoke that a dozen firemen were overcome. Fireman Dan Bowton attempt ed to slide down a rope to safety and became entangled in the end of a hose line. He lapsed into unconsciousness, apparently from the effects of smoke, and dangled upside down for sev eral minutes before being reach ed by a ladder. The tense crowd alternately called words of en couragement to firemen and gasped when it appeared the rope might slip and send Bow ton plunging to the street. He escaped with only a knee in jury. Another firefighter, Bob Snod dy, lost control on his lifeline as he was leaving the fifth floor and slid so rapidly to the street that he suffered possible frac tures of both hips and a heel. It was some time after those spectacular occurrences that the fire department announced the body of a fireman, Walter F. Gustafson, 49, had been found in the building. A physician said he was asphyxiated. Company officials said they could make no accurate estimate of loss immediately but expect ed it might run near 5100,000. Washington Warden, Key Men to Resign WALLA WALLA, Dec. 27 fP) The resignations of Warden Bert O. Webb and other key men at the state penitentiary were the result of criticism leveled at the prison administration by Gov.-Elect Mon C. Wallgren dur ing his political campaign, the warden said last night. Webb's resignation was an nounced in Olympia yesterday, "Wallgren made it clear dur ing the campaign that if elected he intended to clean out all of the administrative officers at the penitentiary," Webb stated. "His criticism left us no alter native but to leave, and all of the men in key positions have turned in their resignations to the incoming governor's admin istration." . The word "tabloid", was coined more than 50 years ago as a name for compressed chem ical products, and is a copy righted trademark. MEN UT BIG F RE HERALD AND NEWS, pacific ha By JACKSON S. ELLIOTT WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 itV) Small business with emphasis on the returning war veterans can look to the Pacific northwest and Alaska for a potential gold mine of enterprise. The medium will bo fish and fishery products. The reasons for development now or in the. immediate postwar years arc: 1. The prewar dependence up on Japan for much of the fishery products; before 1940 about 93 per cent of canned crab was im ported, 78 per cent from Japan; 2. The migration to wur plants of thousands who may wish to stay in the area after the war when many of the planus will have cither closed or sharply cut tneir personnel. M. E. Stnnsby, technologist with the division of commercial fisheries of the interior depart ment, predicts in an article in the Fishery Market News that these factors and changes in handling methods will provide unlimited opportunities. He notes that the fish and wildlife service of the interior department, in anticipation of changes to come with the end of the war, is devoting increasingly more attention to the technical aspects of the fishing industry. lt is the work done by the technical laboratories of Ketchi kan and at Scuttle on develop ment of the use of species at pre sent under-utilized, and the im provement of methods of han dling fish in the fresh and fro zen state, which will provide the opportunities to new small businesses and to veterans who may run them.
