Both company and union offic-

lamp carried by one of the six vic- tims ignited an accumulation of gas in the area. other miners said the company was planning to close down the section when the miners left for their annual 12-day vacation Aug. 4. There was no confirmation on this from com- pany or union officials.

Funeral arrangements for the mine victims have not yet been announced.

Rescue workers said this is ap- parently, what happened: Shot- firer Blake, suspecting gas in the area. had sent for Overman Har- ris to investigate. Harris carried a "glanny" or safety lamp whose light automatically goes out when gas is present. The rescue workers said I-iarris' ”glanny" was found near the lcens- of the on losion "blasted to smithereens."

CHICAGO, Jirly 10 -(OP) -The Republican Party, ripped by in- ternal strife but bent on picking a winner for 1952, stormed into its national convention tonight and embarked at last upon the nomin- ation of a presidential candidate.

Yet from the Taft camp iuself came the prediction of a voting deadlock that could shift the nom- ination eventually to one of th( others or even to a rank outsider. G. Mason ovdett, Republican nat- ional committeeman from Pennsyl-

Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York stalked out. Dirksen last night accused the 1944- 1948 nominee of "leading us down the road to defeat."

This time Dewey is working for Eisenhower.

The senator from Illinois offer- ed fellow Senator Taft to the con- vention as '”rhe amiable ambassa- dor of our last best hope" to throw the Democrats out after 20 years in
