Decision Taken To Seal No. 4 Shaft .Ai Springhill

SPRINGBILL. NJ. CP)-Cum- berland No. 4 mine. ravaged by explosion and permeated by pois- onuul gas four days ago, will be sealed off for two months as a safety precaution.

The and decision to block the pit and throttle its air passages was made Monday by Hamid Gor- don, coal chief of the Dominion steel and Coal Corporation. a few hours after a stretcher bearing the sea: and last survivor of 'I'hursday'l underground blast was taken to a nearby emergency bos- ltsl. '

p Somewh in the mine's spider work of elammy passageways are the bodlae of 34 men.

CAN'T RISK OTHER LIVEI

Vlsibl! Ihakan as he made the announcement, the usually abrupt lormsr draegarman said the lives sf other miners could not be hop- snilred to bring eut the dead. The mine was being sealed to elimin- ate danger of fire and explosion.

Further attempts to search the lower levels for bodies would re- quire the pumping of abnormal quantities of air. A greater flow of air would tend to fan still- nnouldaring flres lute explosion proportions.

In Montreal. Lionel A. Forsyth. Dosco president. said an inquiry Into the lprlnlhlll disaster will be started soon by the federal mines department.

FINAL TALLY

This is the final tally on casualt- lea and rescued, announced offl- aially this morning:

Decision to pal the mine was lheeudofoneofthe most dram- atic chapters in Canadian mining history - a chapter filled with death. heroism, faith. sadness and

KEPT RECORD

Overman Con Embree. one of the heroes in the underground battle for survival, converted in. offlclal's book into a diary and made entries every hour. He wanted the world to know what it was like if rescuers reached him too late. It may also play a part in subsequent investigation.

It was Embree who decided to seal off a section of a pasage way. With the help of Harold Ta- bor he fashioned a makeshift door -a sort of bulkhead-out of 'old boards and insulating cloth to block out gas and smoke creep ing down at a group of 47 men.

In this group were 14 who had come up from a lower level. They dug coal through their entire shift Thursday night without realizing that an explosion had taken place

Eden Weathers Another Assault In The Commons

LONDON (CP) - la a sad- ' den. spectaeularvlitveatlsa that transformed the mood of an un- ruly House of Commons, Prime Minister Eden Monday announced the oapitulation of Port Said. gab- way to Egypt. Pandemonium broke loose.

The news came straight h-om the battlefront. Eden read a bill- letin from me Allied commander. Gen. Sir Charles Keightley, saying that surrender terms were being discussed with the Egyptian ao- thoritiea in Port Said and a cease- fire had been ordered in the area.

Conservative members rose in a body, cheering. whooping and waving their order papers i(l' a full as seeonds.

CRUCIAL IOIINT

The intervention came at a cru- cial mom t for the Conservative

Wedgwood Benn quoted from "instructions" he claimed had been luued to Egyptians which '0” "10 Elntlaas had "com mittad a sin -, you have placed confidence in Nasser and have belidvad his lies-"

"When will the government stop lying to the House of Commons?"

As the Labor pressure contin- ued, ministers whispered to one another on the front bench. After some hesitation, Eden rose quietly to say he had a "flash" signal from the Middle East. reporting the surrender of Port said.

The laconic announcement M leased pent - up emotions among the Conservatives.

One aspect of Monday's debate was a repeated demand by Labor and Liberal speakers that the gov- ernment accept without qualifica- tion the Canadlan proposal for an lntemational police force to keqi peace between Israeli and the Egyptians. Lloyd said the admin- istration we I c o m es the Idea. "when that force is instituted". Meanwhile operations would con- tinue.

Russia Threatens Use Of- Force To Help Egyptians

Suggests US Aid ii

In Joint

MOSCOW (AP 1 -Russia served

to use force to bring about an end to British and French actions against Egypt.

Premier Nikolai Bulganln

warned the two powers invading Egypt that they face the risk of attack by a stronger power cap- able of launching "rocket weap- ons" if they do not end the bus- tilitles. Bulganln pi .. sad to President "isenhower that the Soviet Union and the United States,-the major H-bomb powers, pool their armed might under the United Nations to end the invasion.

HUNGARY FIRST

President Eisenhower has made elear that the United States does not intend to become involved in the fighting in Egypt. Washington officials rejected the Bulgaln pro- posal and the White House said the Soviet Union has "an obitu- tion before the world" to withdraw its forces from Hungary before talking about a Middle East settle- ment.

"We are full of determination through the use of force to crush aggression and put an end to the war in Egypt." Bulganln said.

Another translation of this sent- ence, as heard in a Moscow broad- cast. was: "We are full of determ- ination to crush aggressors and re- establish peace in the East by us- ing force."

3. Told Israeli Premier- David Ben-Gurion that Russia is recal- lin its ambassador in Tel Aviv. Bu ganln said Israel was acting as a tool of Britain and France and should end immediately the flghfr ing in Egypt.

THREAT OI FORCE

Bulganln told Eden Britain - .. . should think of a situation in which it could be attacked by "a more powerful nation” which delivered its assault "not by ships and nut by aircraft but by the rocket sys- tem." The Soviet premier added:

"if rocket weapons were used against England. you would call it a barbarous action. But what is the difference between such an attack and the attack by Britain and Ira nce on un Egym...

The notes were filled with stern threats of action if the two pow- ers do not immediately end the fighting.
