MOSCOW. Dec. Z6 -- (AP) -’l'he Fore! n Ministers of Great Britain, the nited States and Russia were said late tonight to have reached an agreement on all points of their discussions and Foreign Secretary Bevin of Briiaimand State Secrc~ tary Byrnea of the United States were making arrangements for an earl de arture.

cast heard in London said that the conference had ended and that Mr. Byrnes would hold a press con- ference at 7:30 a.m. Thursday ((11:- .m. Wednesday).

Dplomatic observers forecast a prompt announcement m- portant and definite results" con- cernlng the conference. Unquestionably agreement has been achieved on many main issues, the observers here said, adding that the conference has gone well beyond anything that had been expected even b Mr. Byrnes. Ernest Bevin, Brit sh Foreign Sec- retary. and Foreign Comrnissar Molotov themselves.

All world ills have not been sol- ved, these informants said, “but

een made." (In London, Foreign Office of- ficials were called back from holi- day vacations to be at their posts for an expected release of the con- ferance communique. (London- diplomatic observers felt it was safe to asgume that the major part of the c nference had been devoted to current pressing roblems and, that problems with

merit put off) .

, Ky. Dec. 76 - (AlP) — Rescue workers ran into an inferno of binning debris and coal less than half-way from the area where 80 to 50 miners were entomibed by a coal mine explos- ion here today.

Highway patrolman Austin Hall said the flames were encountered 3,100 feet from the mine entrance tonight. He said the miners were believed to be trapped at the dead-end of the 2 l-z-mile-doep

rrilne.

Hall said this developmiant. coupled with other handicaps which have slowed work to a snail pace. had caused most work- ers, miners and families of the trapped men to abandon hope that any would be brought out alive.

All available means were employed to combat the flames, which apparently had been burn- ing since the explosion occurred
