WO'NDAY. AUGUST 18. (Continued from Page One) supplies to the British. An hour and a half after a tongue of flame licked out of pier 27, ripping it apart and igniting barrels of oil on nearby barges injured longshoremen and others were still being rushed to Long Island college hospital. Some Believed Dying Some of the victims were believed dying.

Hospital attendants said for the most part the extent of the injuries could not be determined at once. Meanwhile, firemen scoured the New York harbor waters at the foot of pier 27 picking up stevedores and many others who either were hurled or jumped into the water at the time of the blast. The flames quickly engulfed the Cuba Mail line freighter, Panuco, heavily loaded with quicksilver, minerals and hemp. Cut loose from the burning fire, she drifted crazily down Buttermilk channel opposite or's island and burned into a smoking empty hulk within an I hour. Five barges, several of them load- ed with steel cables destined for a naval base at Guantanamo, Ouba, were touched off by the licking flames and likewise drifted harborward.

The by longshoremen as a "streak of lightning" lashed out of pier Lower Manhattan Brooklyn and Manhattan fire departments, the city's largest and newest fireboats, and coast guard cutters and small craft rushed to the area, bringing the blaze under control within two hours after the first explosion thundered out at 10:40 a. m. Many ambulances hurried to the scene and carried, the injured to hospitals. One lumber truck was pressed into bulance. service as an am- Members Of Panuco Crew Injured Many of the'injured were said to have been crewmen of the Panuco, whom there were 35, but it was not known whether the full complement was aboard at the time of the fire.

The scene of the fire was opposite Governor's island, site of Fort Jay on the edge of Buttermilk which links the East river with New York harbor. Harry Garcia, superintendent of pier 32, near the flaming pier 27, said the fire broke out at 10:40 a. CEST) in a series of explosions which sent "fiaces leaping 125 feet into the air." "I tton't know whether anyone injured," Garcia said, "but the fire spread so quickly" some must have been trapped." It was not immediately learned what was stored in the 525-foot- long pier or its sheds. The Panuco, owned by the Cuba Mail line, successors to the old "Ward line, arrived yesterday from Tampico and Progresso, Mexico, and was unloading when the fire started. BuUt.in 1917 at Seattle, the 351-foot ship had been in the New York-Mexico run for several years.

Cuba Mail line officials said she was expected to be a total loss as firemen were unable to placs a line aboard in first attempts. The teeming Brooklyn waterfront was endangered as hungry flames and smoke flooded the area near the Brooklyn bridge. Near Navy Yard The fire started one mile below the New York navy yard on East river. A fire of undetermined origin last July i swept a pier at the navy yard, injuring one man and damaging a coast guard cutter and two small naval craft. One mile upstream above the navy yard lies Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where another mystery fire last Monday destroyed lumber stocks accumulated to fill army arid navy orders.

The city's newest and largest fircboat, the Fire Fighter, was dispatched to-the scene to aid a fireboat already playing streams upon the pier. From Manhattan, three engine Companies were sent to augment the Brooklyn equipment. In 300 firemen from 26 companies were at the scene and coast guard headquarters sent seven boats, including two cutters, to patrol the area. Clouds of dense smoke spread over Manhattan's financial district just as lunch hour crowds poured out- of skyscraper office buildings I i i I i i (Continued Irom One) were in place.

EVELYN SLENTZ, 35, of Dover, suffering from a head contusion and shock. Three autos were involved in the collision on a hill a short distance south of Navarre which took the lives of Addleman and Lawrence, an employe of the Goodyear Tire Rubber Akron, and brought injury to seven Mrs. Addteman was instantly killed and Lawrence died at the city hospital at 9:18 a. Sunday, from a skull fracture. They were riding in separate cars.

Crash On Hill A missing engine of an auto driven by Virgil O. Slentz, 34, of Dover, indirectly was blamed for the heation collision of autos driven by Addleman and Ball and the sideswipe of the Slentz! machine. Mr. and Mrs. Slentz and two other occupants of the car were traveling south toward their homes at Dover, when the car developed engine trouble on the hill.

The auto had slowed down to several miles an hour and Slentz was pulling onto the berm Addleman passed him and hit radiator to radiator with Ball's northbound car. The impact was so terrific that drove the engine of car in which Lawrence and Miss Greer were riding, back into the front seat. The engine of Addleman's car also was driven back. One of the cars was pushed into the side of Slents's machine, resulting in injury to Mrs. Slentz.

The cars of Addleman. and Ball did not overturn several of the -injured still were pinned in the wreckage when state highway patrolmen and ambulances arrived Ambulances from MassOlon and Dover took the injured of the two Akron cars to the Massillon city hospital. Mrs, was taken a passenger car to the Union hospital at Dover and later was moved to her residence. The body of Mrs. Addleman was taken to the Gordon-ShaJdnagle-Hollinger funeral home and later to the Billows funeral home at Akron.

Auto Hits Ambulance Traffic was heavy on the highway and a crowd of persons soon crowded around the injured and wrecked cars. Many aided in taking the injured from the demolished autos and caring for them until ambulances arrived to take -them to the hospital. State highway patrolmen while assisting, the injured and helping place them in ambulances sought the aid of several truck operators to flag and caution Three trackers were stationed south of the with a flare and flashlight about 1,200 feet from the cars and the other in between the first truck driver and the machines. Failing to heed cither of the three truck drivers, John Blah- Bole, 49, of 523 Arlington Canton, narrowly escaped causing another serious accident as he plowed info the rear of the ambulance of E. M.

Early, of Dover. Early and state patrolmen had one of the injured girls on a cot snd were about to place her the ambulance when they saw the approaching car and scurried from its path. State patrolmen arrested Bole on a charge of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor to which he entered a plea of guilty in municipal court today. At the request of the defendant sentence was deferred until next Monday Riding with Bole was William Bates, 58, of the same address who was arrested on an intoxication charge. Bates denied the charge this morning and was to stand trial this afternoon.

En Route To Visit Relatives The Addlemans left their home at about midnight, headed for Pennsylvania where they expected to visit relatives for several days. Ball was driving north and with him were Lawrence and Miss Greer who was visiting her aunt, Mrs R. E. Sheldon, of 220 Castile blvd Akron. Besides her husband nd two injured daughters, Mrs.

Addleman is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Allene Kisner, of Akron; her father, Clare Connelly, of Cameron, W. two sisters, Mrs. c' Gray, of Akron, and Mrs. Frank Patmo, of Columbus; two brothers Charles Connelly, of Akron, and Edwin Connelly, of Barberton.

and ENrTXG TXDKPRXDRNT. MASSTLLON. OHIO (Continued from Page One) score and the score of the Elyria corps. In all other departments the Massillon corps made scores which were more than commendable. In inspection it scored 9.90 of a possible 10 points, in marching and maneuvering 26.85 of a possible 30 points, in drumming 19.05 of a possible 20 points, in bugles 18.35 of a possible 20 points and in general effect 9.40 of a possible 10 points.

It was the cadence score of 8.40 points which spelled the difference between victory and defeat. High cadence has been a characteristic of the local corps all season and, due to the fact that its drill had been set up to allow it to get off the field under the maximum 15 minutes by a matter of seconds, the corps has been time-element conscious, especially during the past few weeks as it prepared for the state competition. It also used a new concert number at Youngstown the selection in itself was a great success, it had a tendency to build up the pressure with the result that the corps did not settle down to its normal cadence immediately after playing the concert piece. The two instances of high cadence appeared after the concert number was played. Losing to Elyria is no disgrace as this year's Elyria corps is being likened to the Elyria corps of past years which were the local corps' most consistent and most feared rivals.

The competition was conducted under national rules of the American Legion contests committee and was judged by member judges of the American Judges association, all of whom were from outside Ohio. It was generally considered as one of the best judged competitions evei held in this state. The judges came from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan. Alliance finished third with a score of 91. Scores of other corps were Cleveland Heights, 89.3, Cuyahoga Palls, 86.1, and Akron, 83.5.

Loss of the state title does not mean that the Massillon corps has given up the idea of competing in this year's national legion competition at Milwaukee, Wis. "The Massillon corps very definitely expects to go to Milwaukee for the national competition in September and not only make the finals but show what a championship cal- ibre corps can do when it gets down off its high horse just as it showed at Youngstown how a high ranking corps can get set down when it permits its cadence to go haywire," E. H. Pickens, drum major of the corps announced today. The competition was held in connection with the annual state convention of the American Legion.

The convention program was to reach its peak today with a huge parade in which units from all sections of the to participate. Downtown stores in Youngstown wei-e scheduled to close and city officials predicted that at least 150,000 persons would view, the four-hour-long line. Announcement was made Sunday that the legion enrollment in Ohio is now and the in its auxiliary is 30,000. FIB (Continued from Page one) Secretary Hull.

Somewhere in southwest Arkansas drivers eased army trucks along the widened cattle patch to the little Missouri river's edge in complete "blackout" before dawn today and one by one drove at snail's pace between the barely visible lights that marked the floating bridges. There was less than a foot to spare on either side of these spans the men behind the wheels couldn't see. It was an eerie, inky blackness, with only stars overhead and blackouts lights looking like fireflies as the vehicles bumped over the bridges.

Not far away infantry- from anti-axis nations, with the editorial comment that "in the future we cannot treat such pressure lightly." As for the projected Anglo-American talks with Soviet officials in Moscow, arrangements here apparently were proceeding undeterred. The president and Churchill broached the idea in a message to Joseph Stalin Saturday and the Russian leader accepted the proposal. British Leader Returns Safely LONDON, Aug. 18. Prime Minister Winston Churchill returned to Britain safely today from an historic meeting at sea with President Roosevelt and a visit to Iceland, and was met by Minister of Information Brenden Bracken to complete arrangements for a probable broadcast by the prime minister.

The date for the broadcast has not been announced. British and United States troops assigned to Iceland were inspected by Churchill on his way back from the Atlantic rendezvous. Returns On Battleship The prime minister returned on the battleship Prince of Wales which carried him to the historic meeting with the president of the United States. The port of arrival was not made public. A British film of the meeting of president and prime minister showed that at least one of their talks was held close to shore.

A rocky coastline which might have been. Maine, Labrador or Iceland was distinguishable in the background of a picture showing Churchill ing from the battleship Prince of Wales as a United States destroyer car ried President Roosevelt away. The president, it was disclosed here visited the British battleship only once. That was Sunday, Aug 10. He came aboard for religious services.

United states sailors accompanied the president to the British battleship, and engaged in back-slapping with the British tars, to whom they brought presents of fruit and cigar ets. The president also brought presents one for every member of the British crew. Each bore a card which said "best wishes. Franklin D. Roosevelt." The film of the meeting showed a black cat episode as the president left.

The cat, a Prince of Wales mascot, ventured onto a gangplank from the battleship to the destroyer and sat there purring while the president and his party side-stepped by. Started Journey By Train The Press association said Churchill began the journey by tram from London going to a British port where he boarded a destroyer that took him to the ship. Naval personnel and others at the port were sworn to secrecy about the trip and none knew -where he was going. In contrast to President Roosevelt's heralded return to Maine and nis prompt press conference the prime minister slipped in secretly to avoid a possible potshot fay a German raider. men hurried on foot with Republic Plants Will Be Object Of Union Drive TSfe announcement of plans for a union membership drive in Canton and Massiilon plants of the Republic Steel was made Sunday at an outing in Meyers lake park, attended by approximately 10,000 SWOC Republic employes and friends.

John Daugherty, of Chicago, western director of the SWOC, a CIO affiliate, said the drive would begin in 10 days with a 100 percent membership as the union's goal.

NEW YORK STOCKS NEW YORK, Aug, recovery theme sounded a bit louder in today's stock market. Buyers appeared at the opening for rails, steels and aircrafts and gains ranged from fractions to better than a point In fairly active dealings. Prices were chipped down near the fourth hour, with volume dwindling. Comeback propensities were attributed mainly to the belief the list, which had been up slightly only twice on average since July 28, might have been oversold.

A Russian communique said two large Rumanian transport ships had been sunk in the Black sea by Russian submarines. The Germans said that their forces were closing a trap around the Black sea port of Odessa (normal population, 604,000) and that Soviet defenders of the city, a major base of the Russian sea fleet, had only a 25-mile escape gap between Odessa and the Bug river. A communique from Hitler's field headquarters asserted that the Soviet retreat toward the lower Dnieper was partly assuming the aspects of a rout. Already, the Nazi batlleflag waved over the Black sea naval base and grain port of Nikolaev, Germany's biggest prize In the 58-day-old campaign, and Hitler's forces were tightening their steel ring around the port of Odessa, a.

still bigger prize. Luftwaffe night raiders pounded Moscow again, and several major rail lines, the communique said. The German public heard of the capture of Nikolaev yesterday from the high command which at the same time announced the Red army had been cleaned out to the last man from the Krivoi Rog iron-producing region 100 miles to the northeast. The city of Krivoi Rog, which west of the Dnieper river, was claimed captured last week. Thus within a matter of a few days the Germans seized control of the rich ore region upon which Soviet Russia depended for much of her vitally-needed iron, and a big naval and industrial port, second only to Leningrad as a Russian shipbuilding and refitting center.

They also virtually completed a ring of steel about Odessa, largest Ukraine port, through Which flows vast quantities of the territory's grain exports. Only a gap of 25 miles from Niko- laev down the Bug river'estuary to the Black sea cpast appeared to be left open between Odessa and the rest of the Ukraine. Closing that gap would leave the Russians in the Odessa area facing the necessity of making a stand or attempting a getaway by sea. Russian Transports Attacked Reports flowing in from the southern front indicated that the Luftwaffe was knocking off one by one or at least hitting various Soviet naval vessels operating along the north coast of the Black sea but they failed to say whether these vessels were engaged in evacuating or strengthening the Odessa garri- Appraising the'military situation well-informed Berlin commentators said the cleanup and "combing through" of the Ukraine was not holding up the German advance to Grain Opening: CHICAGp, Aug. 18.
