$25,000,000 Fire In Kaiser Shipyard Six Newly-Finished Ships Are Destroyed Portland, Ore., Aug. 30 —(UP) —A fire in the outfitting docks of the Kaiser Oregon shipyard today caused an estimated $25,000,000 damage, burning six newly-com-pleted ships. Two casualties were reported. A cabin painter drowned when he dived from a flaming ship into the mooring basin. Another worker was missing. Flames spread among the ships tied at the dock of the Willamette river shipyard, one of the largest in the world. The victory ships and troop transports had been launched and needed only final outfitting before going into service. Manager Albert Bauer said the four victory ships cost approximately $3,500,000 each, and the two troopships $4,000,000. The other damage was to the shipyard installations. More than 2,500 workers were in the immediate vicinity of the fire. Firemen were driven from the outfitting dock by the heat. The fire was believed to have started when sparks from a welders outfit ignited oij being piped into a generator on the Bexar Victory, a completed ship. Fed by fresh paint and other inflammables, the fire spread rapidly to the USS Glynn, a troopship, the Dottingham Victory and the Dotham Victory ami the USS ' Dane, another troopship. The flames spread to the outI tilling dock and engulfed four 15- ■ ton cranes, threatening to topple ■ them. The yard is operated by Henry J. Kaiser's Oregon Shipbuilding Corp, for the U. S. martime com- ' mission. o—-
