Schnieders, veteran Southland banker and civic leader. Schnieders, a 40-year employee of Security Pacific National Bank and the executive who figured prominently in the mergers that led to that institution's present structure, died Monday at St. Vincent's Hospital in Los Angeles.

He was 83. He began in the banking industry here in 1927 with what was then Pacific Southwest Trust Savings Bank. He was in the audit department two years before the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression. After market's collapse, Schnieders was put in charge of restructuring the bank's examiners. He soon was loaned out to an Arizona bank that, like many other American banks facing closure, was reorganizing.

When he returned three years later, Pacific Southwest had merged with Security Bank and he quickly moved up the executive ranks. Before retiring in 1967 as assistant to the chairman of the board, he had been intimately involved with subsequent mergers with Farmers Merchants Bank (1956) and M. Drew, 82; Survivor of the Titanic From Times Wire Services GREENPORT, N.Y.- Marshall Drew, one of the last of the 706 survivors of the sinking of the Titanic, is dead of heart failure at the age of 82. Drew, who was 8 years old when the mammoth passenger liner was sunk by an iceberg, died Friday. He was a retired schoolteacher who lived in Westerly, R.I., for years and died at Eastern Long Island Hospital in Suffolk County.

Drew was traveling with his aunt and uncle when the so-called unsinkable luxury liner went down on its maiden voyage on April 14, 1912. Drew and his aunt, Lulu Drew, were loaded onto a lifeboat while she bade a tearful goodby to her husband, James, who perished. When the sunken wreckage of the Titanic was found recently off Newfoundland, Drew said it should not be disturbed. "I think it should be left alone. It's a graveyard," said Drew, whose only souvenir from the ship, was a black ribbon from a sailor's cap embroidered Titanic." Drew said in a 1977 interview that he was in bed but not sleeping when the ocean liner struck the iceberg and 1 remembered hearing a "thud." "I remember seeing the rows of porthole lights sink into the sea, row after row, until the first deck was awash.

And then came a tremendous explosion, steam, smoke, a flash of light," he said. "And then everything blacked out. I didn't see anything after that, but I heard the cries of the people across the water. Then all was quiet. That was it." Drew said he remembered waking up the next morning in a tiny lifeboat surrounded by icebergs.

"I woke up in daylight and 1 360 degrees around us there were icebergs. You would think you were in the Arctic Circle," he said. "We were SO close to some of the icebergs the crewmen could have touched them with the Alfred B. Focke, 85; Physicist, Mudd College Educator Alfred B.
