21 Die In Rest
Hone Fire
HOQUAIM, Wash. 4JP)—A dis
astrous rest home fire claimed its
21st victim early today and the
hospital reported another was
near death.
Nils Vengerbreton, one of the 30
old age pensioners who were resi
dents of the rest home, died of
burns received when a flash fire
roared through the rambling
frame structure shortly before
lunch time yesterday.
As the holocaust roared from
basement to second floor with
sickening speed, the aged scream
ed for help. One pensioner, Henry
Haywood, 70, said he was lying
down upstairs when he looked un
der the door, which opened on a
stairway. Sddenly he saw flames
and smoke.
“I ran down the hall and warn
ed the others,” he said. “Then I
put on my shirt, pants and socks,
but by that time the smoke and
heat was so bad I went out the
back window on a narrow ledge.”
He held on to the gutter for a
short while before firemen “shov
ed a ladder under me and helped
me down.”
Then, of his aged unfortunate
friends he left behind, he said:
“I’m sure they couldn’t get out
as most of them couldn’t walk.”

The plan Di Salle said he is
considering would limit profit
! margins all along the line from
' manufacturer to retailer. The W*
day price order fined ceiling? at
the highest level between Dec, 10
and Jon. 25. Wages wore sealed
i at Jan. 25 levels,
I In the middle of the struggle for
|an orderly retreat from the tem
porary wage-price freeze, wage
stabilization board chairman Cy
rus S. Ching called on the public
| to “have patience.”
“So much more progress can be
made,” he said, if the nine wage
experts could toe left alone. How
ever, the first wave of mail after
the Friday order wasn’t mountain
ous. Most of it was from police
men, . firemen, school teachers
and others who wondered whe
ther their wages were to toe statoil
: ized.
The answer was to he forthcom
ing in one of the earliest* state
ments of the hoard. Wages and
salaries of the 4,000,000 federal,
state and city employees are fix
ed by legislation and ordinances,
and therefore they were left out
of the general stabilization pro
gram in World War II.
Some members of the wage
board favored an immediate in
terim formula which would apply
to all workers in the future, clear
ing the way for completion of ne
gotiations in hundreds of indus
tries, now at a standstill because
of the order. That should come
first, the labor members argued.
