Blast Wrecks Dallas Building; Many Injured

DALLAS, Tex. (P) - Fourteen persons were injured, three seri- ously, when an explosion late last night ripped apart a four-apart- ment building in a housing pro- ject
 The blast and what residents of the stucco structure called a flash of flame left it a mass of debris caved-in walls, smashed furniture and crazily crumbled roofs.
 Buildings in the five-block area were rocked by the explosion about 10:45 pm. It threw some people in nearby units in the Ce- dar Springs housing project in North Dallas out of bed. Every one in the building was hurt.
 Battalion fire chief J. w. Owens said he had no idea what caused the explosion.
 Leroy Shannon, 28, said the blast occurred in his apartment. He said he had smelled gas for several days and had reported it to the maintenance man.
 Shannon said "Workmen repair ed the stove in Mrs. Ballard's apartment today"

FishwheeI Strike May Boom Yukon Steamer Business

PORTLAND, P)-Yukon River boat Captain William Maxi was hopeful today the Alaskan gold prospecting rush to Fishwheel will revive traffic on the big sub-Arc- tic River.
 q don't know, but I hope that this will mean more business for the boats next year." the veteran river pilot said.
 He returned to his home here after the summer season pilOting the steamer Alice between Nenana and Fort Yukon. He explained the government, which operates the river boats as a service to river towns despite the financial loss, has been talking of retiring the old steamers. He said the boats would be needed to haul heavy mining machinery to the new gold field.
 The captain reported the old Co., lumbia and Snake Rivers Steamer Barry K, lowed to the Yukon in Alaska fo wartime service, has been beached at Nenana. He said her hull is getting soft. The old steamer for many years hauled sacked grain between landings in eastern Washington and Lewiston, Idaho.
