The injured were taken to City Hospital. Firemen of Ladder 4. at a station only a short distance from the Wast scene, were backing into the station after answering an alarm box.

The firemen were quickly on the scene, but were driven back as flames fed on oil and grease. Three men were huddled across the street from the fire scene as police arrived. Their clothing was HOWARD HUGHES mystery solved Four men were burned as a gasoline service station blew up at the corner of Harrison av. and Dudley Roxbury, at 2:20 this morning. Fire swept the station office and gas pump area.

Firemen said there were at least four men in the place when the explosion occurred. One man had his pants, shoes and socks burned off. He was standing in his underwear, incoherent, when a police cruiser pulled up. Taken to the hospital were: Allan Robinson, 28; of 14 Wakul-lah Roxbury.

One landed 15 feet away. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini By WILLIAM FRIPP SUA Rmortrr The mysterious passenger who arrived in Boston Wednesday aboard two heavily guarded railroad cars was billionaire Howard Hughes, phantom of film and finance. The following facts lend credibility to the eccentric Hughes' presence here: Eobert Mayheu, Hughes' right-hand man, is registered at the Ritz-Carlton. The Globe reached his room there Friday and was told he wasn't in.

Hughes, reported ailing in recent years, has previously been a patient of Dr. George Thorn, chief of medicine at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. The hospital has refused to say whether Hughes is or will be a patient there, but there is reason to believe that a dignitary will check in shortly as three rooms have been cleared on the private medical side. On Friday the entire fifth floor of the Ritz was off-bounds except to hotel help and the mystery retinue staying there. A pair of guards pleasantly asked reporters to leave when they stepped out at this floor.

The guards refused to say for whom they worked or who was staying there. Calm Returns to Riot Cities the incidents were deliberately provoked by outsiders. Attorney General Nicholas Katz-enbach said on Friday the Federal government is "prepared to offer any assistance which might be requested or which might reasonably be expected" to help halt the big city racial riots.

But 95 calls does not mean 95 homes. Of the 95 callers, only 49 live in Boston.

The other 46 who live outside of Boston Proper had to be referred to district offices which deal with outlying areas.

An excellent description of a car, which has been recovered. Recollections of a gruff voice and the name "Lennie." Armed with these negligible clues, law enforcement officials issued Friday a New England alarm for four masked gunmen who cleaned out a Brink's truck of $147,000 just before noon.

The gunmen, three of them carrying Thompson submachine guns, surprised the truck's three-man crew, disarmed them, scooped up five containers of money and drove off in approximately 15 seconds. The getaway car, a 1966 green Pontiac four-door sedan, screamed from the parking lot of the Mitre Corp. at 11:46 a.m. It was found abandoned a short time later on Bedford st. in Woburn.

Witnesses said a white, foreign-make, van-type vehicle followed the escape car after the robbery. It was assumed that the loot was transferred when the sedan was dumped.

J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) took a look Friday at what he called the administration's "emerging Asian doctrine," and reeled back in gloomy horror.

They have been gone 49 days. If they continue their 9 miles a day average, they won't reach England until a year from now.

Sources said the pilot is a lieutenant (J.G.) who apparently was shot down during a raid over North Viet Nam. The spokesmen refused to disclose any details, saying secrecy was required by military security. But the sources said the pilot broke away from his captors in North Viet Nam and spent more than 20 days making his way through the jungles and swamps before an Air Force rescue team in a helicopter plucked him to safety. The sources said the pilot was taken to a hospital. The North Vietnamese Communists are known to be holding at least 63 Americans as prisoners.
