100; Alaska Toll Damage Is $350 Million

By BILL NELSON Gazette Staff Writer

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.—A five-year-old boy is alive and well today, after a small tree, growing out of the rocky wall of the gorge "caught him" at the edge of a 100-foot almost sheer drop to rocks below,

Wayne Stadnyk, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stadnyk, 314 Ferguson Aye., received only- bruises : and*H^chipped tooth at about 2:30 p.m^ Sun­day, when he fell and rolled" 150 feet down the rocky gorge bank until his fall was arrest­ed by the. tree.

He was rescued from his perilous perch at about 4:45 p.m. by the city's volunteer Reseue Squad. One volunteer narrowly escaped death dur­ing the two-liour search for the boy.

Peter Fadum, who lives near the intersection of Ferguson and River R o a d , saw the youngster and his sister, Ava-lon, 3, playing near the wall which rims the'gorge along River Road between Rainbow Bridge and Whirlpool Rapids Bridge. • Suddenly, he noticed that the boy had disappeared at abbut 2:30 p.m.

He called SgL Fred Boutil-ler at headquarters, who noti­fied Richard Gorham, presi­dent of the r e s c u e squad. Within minutes, ' volunteers of the squad were searching the gorge near where the boy had been playing..'.--.

Mr. Gorham went over the gorge rim on a life line. While he was descending, ,a huge boulder loosened by his pas-

Four other volunteers de­scended the treacherous- Old Indian Trail. They were Chief Rescue Officer Harry Golu­binski, S t Catharines; George WilliahiS, J e s s e Hinchcliffe and Daniel Boileau, this city, who searched both sides of the trail.

At about 4:30 p.m., Mr. Golu-binski spotted the boy "hold­ing onto a tree for dear life" about 100 feet above him. Shouting to the others he climbed up the steep cliff to the youngster who was strad­dling the tree.

"He was shivering violently frorri the cold as well as fright, but he was not crying," Mr. Golumbski said. He coaxed Wayne loose from the tree and wrapped him i.» his parka and fastened him in with safety pins.

The more than 500 specta­tors who had gathered held their breath as police and Rescue Squad volunteers pull­ed the pair up slowly. There was dead silence until both had been safely pulled over the e d g e and t h e n wild cheers. The ascent t o o k 15 minutes.

As the heads of the two ap­peared over the edge, Sgt. Har­ris, although wearing a new suit, flung himself prostrate in the mud to lift Wayne from Golubinski's arms. He then helped the exhausted volun­teer over the edge.

"I'll take my hat off to Mr. Golubinski," the police serg­eant s a i d afterward. "That took guts." He said that the rocks h a d scraped both of Mr. Golubinski's hands as he clung to the rope and the youth on the way up.

Mr. Golubinski, a carpenter at Interlake Tissue, St. Cath­arines, made the rescue, even though sufferingJrom crack­ed rhbs received in a fall last week at work.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska W —As Alaskans toiled to dig out from the rubble of Fri­day's great ear thquake , civil defense officials listed new casualty figures today of 21 known dead and 83 missing and presumed dead.

Fifty-five were reported in­jured.

This means if those pre sumed dead — m o s t w e r e washed to sea by giant seismic waves following- the quake— are indeed dead the toll will be more than 100. Damage $350 Million

Gov. William A. E g a n re­vised his estimate of property damage upward to a conserva­tive $350 million, and other un« official estimates were higher.

The governor raised his esti­mate after visiting his home town of Valdez, which had 32 dead and suffered heavy de­struction.

Edward A. M c D e r m o 11. President Johnson's personal representative on the scene, flew back to Washington to­day and immediately set in motion-a relief effort that ulti­mately could reach several hundred million dollars in fed­eral funds.

The President already has declared the 49th s t a t e a major disaster area. McDer-mott said it was obvious the full disaster relief program permitted under present law would not be enough.

At best, he said, it would take two to four months to get Alaskan economy into any workable shape.

Typically, Seward, 60 miles south of Anchorage, had only two known dead, but its busi­ness was 95 per cent destroyed and few of its able bodied men still had jobs.

The Alaskan Railroad, vital route from Seward to the in: terior, w a s a j u m b l e of "wrecked cars and twisted,rails. A mile-long waterfront area collapsed into the sea.

All along the ring of the Gulf of Alaska where the great quake struck in fury, it was a similar story of low casualties but mighty ruin. Anchorage Heap of Wreckage

Anchorage, the metropolis of the state with an area popula­tion of 100,000, . c o u n t e d 12 dead, but its business district and its best residential sec­tions were tottering heaps of awesome wreckage.

Kodiak Island enumerated 12 dead but it's fishing fleet and canning plants w e r e wrecked.

The sea waves also worked terrible and deadly destruc­tion thousands of miles away," killing at least 16,-persons in California and Oregon. Worst of these sufferers was Cres­cent City, Calif., more than 2,000 miles from the quake's epicenter. There 1 person died and 15 were still missing.

Anchorage, center of the Alaskan recovery effort, went soberly about its b u s i n e s s , flinching at successive after­shocks.

One shake, felt strongly in Anchorage Easter evening, was rated at 7.3 on the Richter scale of energy by the Univer­sity of Washington at Seattle, 1,500 miles away. U n iv e rsity scientists said it was a sepa­rate quake, in the Aleutian trench 600 miles northwest of Friday's .epicenter, b u t An­chorage felt it with jittery ap­prehension.

An earlier mid-after no o n shock led to a civil defense warning of a new tidal wave headed for Seward. It w a s called off quickly, but people who had lived through Friday evening's terror fled to high ground.

The Friday evening quake was rated by experts at 8.2 to

MacArthur Fighting for Life

0f»—The shadow government of South Viet Nam's Red guer­rillas has sent a message of support to Prince - Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia's chief of state. Sihanouk, in. a friendly reply, denounced "Amer i c a n imperialism."

WASHINGTON Cfl — G e n. Douglas MacArthur, fighting for hi? life, developed a kid­ney condition of "grave con­cern" during the night, doctors at Walter Reed Hospital re­ported today." They said his condition remained critical.

The doctors also rep o r t e d that the 84-year-old gen e r a 1 had "unfortunately" developed a recurrence of intermittent bleeding from his esophagus, the condition that prompted his second operation more

than a week ago. The hospital reported: "Gen. MacArthur's condi­

"There has been decre .sed kidney action since last eve­ning.
