Dakota’ PRICE FIVE CENTS Boston, Dec. 23—(#)—Army planes and police boats searched Boston harbor Thursdey for the body of U. 8, Army Corporal Har- old J. Kraner, 35, of Winthrop, whose parachute descent as a fly- ing Santa Claus turned to tragedy Wednesday night over Boston's Oceanside airport when a freshen- ing wind blew him into the water. Veteran of more than 100 suc- cessful jumps within eight years, Kraner plunged to his death while his young wife and their eighteen-month old son looked on in the midst of a group of army wives and children to whose Christmas party he was making his annual contribution. Graner bailed out over the air- port administration building at 1500 feet, from a plane piloted by Captain Richard E. Cobb. Carried seaward by the wind, Kraner side- slipped his ‘chute desperately, but only @ few spectators realized he was in danger. The Christmas party's gayety port detachment, Richard Miller and Earl Jordan, commandeered @ skiff at the water's edge, but in their feverish haste the craft cap- sized and they were almost drowned before a coast guard crew pulled them from the water. Meanwhile, a police cruiser dashing across the airfield with flares and floodlights for the cach collided bin ea head-on an army taxling to a landing. The plane's propeller sliced through the car roof, gashed the face of Sergeant J. Seiboldt, police ballistics expert, fractured his jaw and knocked out three teeth. His driver, Patrolman John Clorin, was only scratched.
