THREE BURNED IN BOAT EXPLOSION
ASTORIA, Ore., Aug 31 --(AP) Dr. L. Hoyt Brown,
Portland dentist; his son, Hoyt Brown, 14, and
Roscoe K. Wright of Portland were severely
burned when their boat exploded and burned
near here last night.
   Mrs. Wright was not burned, but suffered
shock from the harrowing experience, and  was
hysterical for a time. Burns of the three were
not serious, it was stated at their hospital
today.
   The four were in Dr. Brown's converted life
boat cruiser coming down the Lewis and Clark
river last night when the craft hit a log boom.
The boat tilted and apparently spilled gasoline
from the carburetor into the bilge.
