Military helicopters pluck- ed many people from roofs and windows, but police said others plunged to their deaths while trying to jiimp to safety. Authorities said an over- heated kerosene stove in a sauna area of the Daea Tour- ist Hotel probably started the fire. Sixty-eight pieces of fire- fighting equipment, including eight ladder trucks, battled the fire and aided in the res- cue work. Some firefighters came from U.S. military units sta- tioned in the Pusan area. South Korean military hel- icopters were trédited with saving at least 18 people. But reports from the site said one man died when he plunged from a line lowered by a hel- icopter. The Joong-Ang newspaper in Pusan said some guests, trapped in rooms on the upper floors, died when they tried to leap to the roofs of adjacent shorter buildings or fell from makeshift ropes made of sheets and blankets tied together. A Pusan fire department statement said 19 men and 18 women died in the blaze. Eight of the victims died today after being taken to hospital. * Police listed five Japanese among the identified fatal- ities. Reports said nine Japanese and three people from Tai- wan were the only foreigners registered at the hotel. The Yonhap news agency reported Saturday night that 18 bodies had been identified, including the leader of the hotel band and two other hotel employees. Pusan authorities said an investigation into the fire was continuing, but that it was “presumed” it started in an overheated kerosene stove in fourth-floor sauna and health club facility. Witnesses said a small ex. plosion was heard in the sauna area shortly before flames erupted and swept through the upper floors. THIRD WORST Authorities said 108 people had been registered at the hotel, and about 40 em- Reporter's firing creates stir TERRACE (CP) — The firing of a newspaper re- wter over a column in which he called local school board members “a gutless bunch of lackeys” has created a stir in this northern B.C. town. It has pitted father against son — albeit amicably — and the mayor against the school Keith Alford of the Ter- race Daily Herald was fired Tuesday, four days after the column appeared. The order came from Sterling News- paper Ltd.'s head office in Vancouver — after Alford had been warned twice pre- viously to cool his prose. Sterling also publishes the Nelson News and Trail Times. Qn Thursday, back shop foreman Gordon Hamilton, who replaced Alford as shop steward of the International Typographical Union which represents the paper's nine employees, gave the paper's publisher a letter asking for Alford’s reinstatement. The publisher is David Hamilton, Gordon's 27-year- old son. Gordon said he has no real quarrel with his son, saying the firing was a head office decision and “Dave just fired THIS YEAR IN B.C. the bow.” The union's contract ailows for firing without severance pay for incompetence, failing to observe office rules or in- subordination. “We felt this article was in bad taste,” said David Ham- ilton. Herald editor Brian Gregg was given a letter from Ster- ling Newspapers saying he showed a lack of judgment in running the column, but Gregg was not disciplined. Alford and Arthur Weeks, Sterling’s vice-president of operations, refused to com- ment on the case pending the union's appeal. Board chairman Lavern Hislop said the board is con- sidering legal action over the column, adding she was of- fended by it. “How would you like to be called a gutless jellyfish after you had put in hours and hours of unpaid time?” she said. Terrace Mayor Helmut Giesbrecht said he was con- cerned about the firing, ask ing “what happens to free- dom of the press if a reporter can be muzzled because someone calls head office in Vancouver about it.” Economy to be tough ployees were in the building when the fire broke out. They said another undeter- mined number, perhaps about 70, were in the sauna- health club at the time. It was the third-worst ho- tel fire in South Korea's his- tory. A 1974 fire in Seoul killed 165 people in the world’s worst hotel blaze, and 88 people died in a fire at a Seoul hotel nightclub in 1971. South Korean news re- ports said firefighters were delayed by heavy morning rush hour traffic and nearby subway construction work. The state-run Korean Broad- casting System quoted wit- nesses as saying the fire started about 7 a.m. Some employees of the sauna-health club section were taken in by police for questioning about the cause of the blaze and other aspects of the fire. Pusan, a city of about three million, 320 kilometres south of Seoul, is South Korea's biggest port and a popular ire site for tourists from Japan. It is linked to Japan by ferry and airline service.

BROTHERS WIN $3.5 MILLION SETTLEMENT FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Two brothers who invented a vehicle for moving heavy objects more than 20 years ago will be about $3.5 million richer because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling supporting the validity of their patent. Louis and Cyril Keller were ice fishing on a lake near Fergus Falls, Minn., on Friday when™ their lawyer, Herman Baines of Minneapolis, told them the Supreme Court had refused to hear an appeal by Clark Equipment Co. The company makes the Bobcat front-end loader, a small vehicle used to scoop up and carry heavy objects in construction work. “They were ice fishing when they got the news and they are still ice fishing,” said Louis's wife, Mary Ann. Neither Cyril, who lives near Fergus Falls, Minn., or Louis, who lives in Gwinner, N.D., could be reached for comment. Mrs. Keller said back royalties were expected to* amount to $3.5 million. ENDS LITIGATION The Supreme Court's action ended 10 years of litigation. Clark sought to have the Kellers’ patent on the Bobcat ruled invalid and to end royalty payments, arguing that the patent was invalid because it had not been filed within one year of the first sale of the machinery. The Kellers received the patent in October 1962, almost three years after they started manufacturing the Bobcat under an agreement with the Melroe Co. in Gwinner. The patent was ruled invalid during the course of ‘two federal court trials in North Dakota. But the court also ruled that Melroe, not the Kellers, was negligent for failing to file the patent on time. ” J.

Tony Stukel, an official of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., said 1983 housing starts should total 162,000 to 165,000 when all the figures are in — a substantial gain over the 125,860 starts recorded a year earlier and a boon for British Columbia's struggling forest- products industry. to the much higher building levels of the 1970s to regain profitability and recall their thousands of laid-off work- ers. George Pedersson, a former_econ- omist with MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. who now runs his own consulting firm, sees forest products as only part of B.C.'s problems. He predicted a growth rate of 1.5 per cent for the province this year, compared with three per cent for the country as a whole. The B.C. unemployment rate of 13.5 per cent is well above the national average of 11.2 per cent and he anti- cipates little chance of improvement this year. “That is really a dramatic recovery,” said Stukel, director of for the federal housing agency. “Given the economic situation, I think we are doing all right.” But the drama was lost on the B.C. lumber companies, which need a return said the pi gov- ernment's planned 25-per-cent reduc- tion in the size of the civil service is an additional obstacle. “We need real income growth but with such things as government downsizing and the negotiated wage settlements of some major groups coming out at no increase for this year and in some cases next year too, it's obvious that there's not going to be much income growth.” Pedersson’s pessimism was shaféd by Richard McAlary, chief economist with the British Columbia Central Credit Union, who agreed the key to recovery is getting more people back to work. “Unemployment is the No. 1 social and economic problem in B.C.,” he said. “If we don't have people employed, how can we expect to have them buy our ell akan al ‘The province's plight was reflected in a report by the Bank of B.C. that its delinquent Joans rose to $51 million last year from $28 million in 1962 as its small-business customers suffered the squeeze of the Burger baron dies SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (AP) — Ray Kroe, a paper cup salesman who trans- formed a hamburger stand into the multimillion-dollar McDonald's fast- food empire and planted the golden arches in 32 countries, died of heart failure Saturday. He was 81. Kroc, who died in Serippas Clinic's Green Hospital, also turned the San Diego Padres into a popular local at traction after buying the baseball team in 1974. Phanks to an aggressive prom- otion campaign that included the San Diego Chicken, the team drew an audi- ence of at least one million people for every season but one in the 10 years that Kroe owned it. His death was announced by Mc- Donald's Corp. spokesman Dick Star. mann in Oak Brook, Ill, where the company is based.

BUYS OUT PARTNERS By 1961, he had bought the brothers out for $2.7 million with money borrowed at interest rates that even tually cost Kroc $14 million. “It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun,” Kroc wrote in hisautobiography, Grinding It Out. “Yet is it any more unusual to find grace in the texture and softly curved silhouette of a bun than to reflect lovingly on the arrangement of tex. tures and colors in a butterfly’s wing?” A high school dropout, Kroc had his own ideas about how to market hamburgers, and they were decidedly out-of-step with the 1960s.

That red-and-blue-tile store was closed in 1983 to make way for a more modern McDonald's across the street. Kroe steadily built his investment into the world’s leading restaurant chain, with 1983 systemwide sales of more than $8 billion and 7,500 res- taurants in the United States and 31 other countries and territories. BOOKKEEPER RICH Kroc's bookkeeper took her pay in stock rather than in cash in the early days and, when she had worked long enough, retired with stock work $70 million. “We take the hamburger business more seriously than anyone else,” Kroc said when asked to explain his success. Kroc bought the Padres of the National League in January 1974. He turned over administrative duties to Ballard Smith in 1979 after Baseball Commissioner Bowie ‘Kuhn fined Kroe $100,000 for publicly stating he was going to go after two players on other teams if they were available in the free-agent re-entry draft.
