THE BATTALION FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1976 Page 3 Explosion kills at least four Silver Taps planned Associated Press MILWAUKEE, Mich. — Rescue workers located a fourth body early today in the wake of an explosion that ripped through a 225-foot grain stor age elevator, Saginaw County offi cials said. The blast on Thursday left 10 others injured. One man remained missing. Officials believe he is dead and buried under a section of one of the silo’s reinforced concrete walls which collapsed in the explosion. The cause of the blast at the grain storage complex, operated by Farm Bureau Services, was not known. However, grain dust in elevators sometimes explodes. The force of the explosion threw pieces of concrete, some of them four feet long, as far as one quarter of a mile, observers reported. Saginaw County sheriffs deputies said rescue workers could see the body of Roger Homey buried under debris. They listed no home town or age for the dead man. Rescue workers said it could take the rest of the day to remove the body from the wreckage and find the missing man among the rubble. One of the survivors of the blast was trapped for 13 hours in the wrec kage before rescuers could free him. Workers used cranes and a helicopter to help in the search for bodies and injured. One injured man was plucked to safety as he clung to the wreckage of a wall left standing after the blast. Three other workers walked away from the explosion with minor cuts. Larry Fess, 24, of Linwood, was pinned for more than 13 hours in the debris of the wrecked structure while doctors and rescue workers tried to comfort and reassure him. He was in shock after being removed from the rubble, suffering from the cold. The temperature was just three degrees above zero about the time he was freed. “He is buried under tons and tons of concrete,” ambulance attendant John Malzahn, 24, said before Fess was freed. “All you can see is his head, his neck and one arm.” “There were bodies all over the place and apparently they had been blown right through the walls and the windows, ” said Saginaw County sheriffs deputy John Dankert. “There were other people who had been knocked down walking around in a daze.” Funeral services for Texas A&M freshman William M. Hale, 19, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday (Jan. 23) in San Antonio at Porter Loring Fu neral Chapel with burial in Mission Burial Park.
