Intensive checks by University authorities, including musters of most of the Houses and graduate schools, failed yesterday to indicate any fatalities other than those announced Monday morning. Although a few scattered absences remain unexplained, none of these were expected to be caused by the fire.

Radcliffe reported no new casualties, Wellesley none beyond the death of the four girls missing yesterday. But the Naval Training Schol had one man still missing. All names and notifications, however, will come from the Navy Dep't. The Chaplain School was intact, and other service school's reports added none to the toll.

Orderlies Help Hospitals

As the grotesque wreckage began to cool off, further stories or Harvard participation and near participation in the catastrophe came to light. Orderlies who, Saturday night and Sunday, had worked with the waves of badly burned victims at hospitals, stuck through Monday aiding parents and friends to find the dead and injured. Other students were stationed at mortuaries to aid in identifying bodies, especially those of Harvard students.

Sunday morning brought a flood of thousands of calls to the University telephone exchange, and as facilities there proved inadequate the air raid-report center on Lehman Hall was opened for the emergency traffic. Twenty men sent by the Naval School helped man the center's phones, and as calls began to pour into extension 123 at the Navy's order, the switchboard, manned by a battery of operators, answered frantic calls until late at night.

Reports on Missing

The problem of missing persons was also attacked by the center, which received reports of located men and sent them to the papers, radio stations, and Committee on Public Safety. Meanwhile Dean Hanford led a large number of officials in the work of identifying and checking victims, while the Information Office and News Office stayed open late into the night.

A nervously lighter side to the grim picture came yesterday from tales of escapes from the Grove. Many students, came close to being there, only to to miss at the last moment. Most amazing was the man who flipped a coin for the Grove or another spot. The coin said "Cocoaunt" but his date insisted on two out of three, and they missed fate. A Freshman, told he was too young to be served liquer, left petulantly five minutes before the fiame burst.

The foll of dead stood early this morning at 487, with many still un-identified and at least 200 still on the daugher list. Among the fatalities was Gerald W. Downer '36, winner of the 100-yard dash at the Heptagonals six years ago
