22 Bodies Are Recovered 5

From West Virginia. Minel

CLARKSBURG. W.Va. (AP) «Weary rescue crews. laboring deep inside a northern West Virginia coal mine Friday. re- cm‘ct‘ed bodies of all 22 victims of Thursday night's gas-trig- gered explosion.

h. 1 man was found in the same section where 11 other miners had een discovered earlier in the Compass No. mine of the Clinchfield Coal Company at Data. about 12 miles northwest of here.

Only five of the bodies had been taken out of the mine by late Friday night but the others were expected to be brought outside by about midnight.

All 22 men were married. They had 41 children.

Thirty of their fellow workers fled unharmed after the blast cut loose.

It was violent.

KNOCKED OFF FEET

Clark Robey. a 54-year-ol mechanic. said he was knocked off his feet although he was about a mile away from the blast. centre.

"The explosion came in twol Hope that any of the trappedl “E

Robey and three other miners raced for. Augean—the eleva- t‘or by which the men are hauled up and down the vertical haft.

“You could hear rocks hitting the 'side of the cage where the air was blowing them up the shaft." he said.

About 9 a.m. EST Friday the first bodies were found. The two victims were in a main passage- way about 1V; miles from the foot of the mine shaft.

Some 30 minutes later a third body was located farther down the corridor.

Officials said they believe the men suffocated. There was no

d evidence of fire.

There was nothing found late to indicate that this was done.

The rescue workers found no rock falls. Damage to the mine interior was said to be rela- tively light.

One company official credited this to the use of roof bolts to hold the mine overhead _ in place, instead of timber sup- orts.

Tobacco Tax

.aen

By Manitoba

WINNIPEG (CP) «- Premierj Duff Roblin announced plans Friday for a cigarette tax amounting to four cents for pack of 20.

Progresswe Conser

The move was outlined in thel vative lead-'

er‘s 1968-64 budget in the Man- itoba legislature. Cigars and other tobacco

products will

be taxed at a corresponding" rate.

Outside the House. Mr. Roblin said legislation imposing the

.laxes- will .be.,introducad4i '-

o y.

He did not announce a spe- cific reason. for the tobacco tax but said “the essential needs of a growing economy demand more revenues to pay for the new and expanded programs which the House has already approved."

In another part of his speech he said rising costs of Mani- toba's hospital insurance plan——

per capita in 1963 compared with $31 in 1951~“is the object of legitimate concern to the Manitoba H o s p ital 'om- mission“ and the public.

There are "very real and pre- cise limits to the extent. that our economy can support the ever-growing costs of social services."

Mr. Roblin said he expects the. tobacco tax to yield 53.500.- 000 in a full year and $2,250,000 in this fiscal year which began April I.

Annual cost to the average moker (2% packs) wil be $11.52 or less than $1 a month. Present prices are 36 cents for a pack of' 20 and 45 cents for
