Tankers Collide:
1 Dead, 3 Missing;
Both Ships Lost
WILMINGTON, Deleware, UfV
One of America’s largest seagoing
tank ships was sliced in two early
Saturday in a collision with an
other giant oil carrier in Deleware
Bay.
Eighty-two crewmen, of 86 who
were aboard the two ships that
burst quickly into flames, leaped
into the water or boarded life
boats and were rescued.
The Red Cross listed only one
man known dead — a crewman
making his first trip.
Three men are missing, the Red
Cross said.
The bow of the tanker Phoenix
sank to the rmiddv bottom of the
Deleware River 40 miles south of
Philadelphia. Still flaming at
dawn, the ship lay a blackened
and charred hulk a few hundred
yards from the New Jersey shore.
A shiplength or two away, the
11,081-ton tanker Pan Massachu
setts burned fiercely. Her main
deck had sunk almost to the water
level and her keel was on br close
to the bottom.
The collision appeared to have
resulted from a mixup of signals
between the two ships moving in
the opposite directions, survivors
said.
* F. L. Judson, port engineer* for
the owner of both ships, said both
were totally destroyed.

GOVERNMENT PAYS DEBT
WINCHESTER, Va., UP) — Gus
Kaknis, owner of a Winchester
restaurant, had almost forgotten
the man who came to dinner—at
government expense.
The date was Sept. 7, 1941,
when a serviceman identified as
Joseph William Showalter had a
65-cent dinner at Kaknis’ restau
rant. Showalter paid far his meal
on Selective Service meal ticket

At long last, Kaknis has been
paid. The other day he got the
government’s check — more than
11 years and eight months later—
for 65 cents.

Lady Luck Plays Trick
On Salmon Fisherman
KETCHIKAN, (£1 — Any man
who catches a 60-ponnd king sal
mon should be busting his buttons
with pride and kicking up his
heels in joy — but not Harry J.
Blanchard of Seattle.
He’s the saddest man in Alaska.
Blanchard boated the 60
pounder earlier in the morning
Friday, but he’d neglected to buy
a Ketchikan Salmon Derby ticket.
The big fish would have put him
at the top of the ladder in com
petition for the derby prize of a
free trip to Hawaii for two.
Of course, the derby doesn’t
end until Labor Day and Blan
chard consoled himself with the
thought a bigger fish might be
caught before then.
Just to' be on the safe side,
though, he bought a ticket for
the separate two-day salmon fish
ing derby starting Saturday. The
sweepstakes have a new car as
first prize.
