The gasoline-torch sword of one of four dancers entertaining about 300 members of a Sa- moan ciub in the church recrea- tion room touched off a swiftly spreading fire that terrorized the crowded room.

Five victims died, mostly from burns, during the night and another succumbed Sunda

Several others were so badly burned they may not liv ,

Many of the injuries occurred when panic - stricken people rushed the exits.

e fire burst out when one of the sword dancers lighted the gasoline-soaked cotton on his weapon. Flames ignited stage curtains and raced into rafters.

“We didn't have a chance; it hit the curtains and that was it." said Ray Brown_ 28, a Sa Francisco backstage worker at

e party given by the Samoan Catholic Benefit Society.

Mr. Balcer said in an inter- view during a Young Progress- ive Conservative Association study conference in Hamilton Friday he favors a new Cana dian flag based on a maple leaf motif

He said the Red Ensign — preferred by Mr. Diefenbaker— is not distinctive. And he claims support from most Quebec Con- servative MPs for his view he- hind the maple leaf ﬂag.

Prime Minister Pearson has promised to unveil the design of the new flag in the Commons later this week. It will be em- bodied in a resolution placed be- fore the House for approval.

The government seems as- sured of majority backing in the Commons—with indications of support from the New Dem- ocrats. Social Credit MP5. Cred- itistes—and Mr. Balcer and his Qu bee supporters in the offi- cial opposition.
