- PAGE EIGNIT 16 PERISH IN EXPLOSION AT SIOUX CITY SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 15—P— Amid a scene of ruin “just like the place had been bombed,” workmen and machines today dug through rubble where at least 16 persons perished in a violent explosion yesterday. As sorrowing families of the 18 identified dead went about fun- eral preparations the search at the Swift and Co., packing plant con- tinued for three persons still miss- ing Nine of some 90 other persons in- jured remained in critical condi- tions at Hospitals. Leaking gas which had hamp- | ered search operations was stopped last night. Work Under Floodlights ‘Workmen who labored throughout | the night under floodlights used blowtorches to melt away twisted girders. The searchers were able to discard | their gas masks after ammonia fumes from the plant's shattered refrigeration system ‘were cut off at their source. The blast rocked the building shortly before the noon hour yes- terday. There were about 1,000 per- sons in the building. The front end of the building was hit hardest. The first and se- eond floors which housed the of- fice staff and company restaurant) got the brunt of the blast. Warlike Atmosphere Windows were shattered. Part of the second floor ceiling caved in. A reinforced concrete loading dock at the southwest corner of the building fell into the basement. ieveral bodies were recovered there. | There was an almost warlike at- mosphere today as trucks and bull- dozers moved ahead on the slow job of removing the debris. A vet- cran of the European front in World War II said he had seen lots of bombed out buildings “but never anything as bad as this.” ANWAY FUNERAL RITES ARE SET; PIONEER DIES Funera! services for Charles H. Anway, 92, who died yesterday morning at St. Ann's hospital, will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the chapel oi ihe Charles W. Carter Mortuary. Major Eric ‘Newbould of the Ealvation Army will conduct the service. Interment will. be in Ever- green Cemetery. Anway was born il Missouri on May 1, 1856. He left his home at the age of 16, headed west. From that time until Seattle he attended the acceptance ‘nto the Union of three states— Colorado and the Dakotas. Then while in Seattle he saw the birth of the state of Washington. In 1898 Charlie heard the sound | of the gold-picks and shovels te the north and that year joined the gold rush to the Territory. Upon arrival he found he did uot. possess sufficient capital to continue to the Yukon Territory and for the five years following he tramped the hills and valleys of the Terri- tory seeking gold, ending at Haines in 1903. He homesteaded 1% miles from Haines, handmade his own sur- veyor's transit and proceeded to survey his own land and record one of the first surveys in the Ter- ritory. The oriignal survey still exists and is considered outstanding by engineers, In 1904 Anway wrote to the U.S. Department of Agriculture request- ing information as to the types ot fruit trees that would grow and bear in the Territory. By mail he was informed thav there was no known type of fruit that could be successfully cultivated in the' Territory. That same year he finished a ~picturesque log acin which still stands in good shape. Possessing the typical pioneer spirit Anway set out to prove that Lutefisk Swanson Brothers Grocery « he arrived i® Main course of the dinner, served | fo]lowing members were present’ | return | KLAWOCK CLINIC SET UP BY MISSION SHIP ONFIRST TRIP NGRTH SEATTLE, Dec. 15—(P—Amateur missionaries of the medical-mission ship Willis Shank have returned irom Southeast Alaska with plans for another northern goodwill voy- age.

Stabbert and his crew, whose work is sponsored by the Marine Medical Mission, an interdenomina- tional group, set the foundation for further migsionary work by starting a clinic at Klawock, an Indian settlement. Left behind to staff the clinic were Dr. Lindsay McClenny, former 1esident surgeon at Doctors Hos- pital, the ship’s doctor; two nurses, and the first mate, Paul Owen.
