Trolley Set Afire By
Bolt of Lightning,
No One Hurt Seriously
PORTLAND, Ore., Iff! — A
bolt of lightning struck a crowded
transit bus Monday evening set
ting it afire.
All the 50 passengers—many
with singed eyebrows and hair—
escaped without serious injury.
Thirteen were hospitalized over
night for treatment of smoke in
halation and non-critical burns.
Witnesses said the lightning,
which struck at the height of a
sudden storm, skipped along the
trolley wire before it shot into
the electric trolley bus.
Inside the bus, the bolt be
came a huge ball of £jre which
flashed over the passengers’
heads and set the rear portion
of the vehicle ablaze.
“The bus is on fire, open the
doors,” a passenger shouted.
Bus driver Walter Nabors pressed
the electric door switch, which
still was operating, and the pas
sengers—some of them hysterical
—poured out into the street. A
number of them lost shoes, pur
ses,, umbrellas and other pos
sessions in the scramble to get out.

For Alaska
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
House Tuesday defeated a move
to delay Alaskan statehood until
the proposed state constitution
was amended to preclude legal
ized gambling.
The amendment, rejected 53-33
on a standing vote, came from
Rep. Craig Hosmer (R-Calif).
It was the first to be offered as
the House began considering
amendments to the statehood
bill.
Hosmer questioned the ability
of Alaskafs population to sup
port statehood without legalized
gambling. He said steps should
be taken to protect the approxi
mately 50,000 servicemen now
stationed there.
Rep. Leo O’Brien (D-NY), House
Territories Subcommittee chair
man, said Hosmer’s proposal was
“frivolous ... a stall ... an
effort to delay statehood.”
The House wound up four
days of general debate on the
Alaska bill late Monday with
the prediction by O’Brien that
statehood would “add billions
of dollars to the wealth of the
country and add inmeasurably to
the wealth of the world.”
Delegate Bartlett, answering
arguments raised against the bill,
struck out at what he said were
implications that Alaska’s ? 5,000
Indians, Aleuts and Es’dmos
“are a people apart and shouldn’t
be counted.”
He said the natives are an
integral part of the Alaska com
munity with proven loyalty and
a record of participation in
government “which is probably
greater than that of their white
brothers.”
