Mine Sealed to Snuff
Fires; i5 Entombed
FARMINGTON, W. Va.; (JP) Grim-faced miners finished the
job late Sunday night of sealing up a blazing, explosion-wrecked
coal mine the tomb of 15 men. J
Three entrances to the mine were walled up with steel and

Sometimes members of a
House of Representatives have
resented reference to the; Senate
as the upper house." They con;
tend that the two branches of
the legislature are equal m
stature, and so they are, save
each has certain special powers:
Revenue bills must originate in
the House; the national! Senate
alone ratifies treaties and con
firms , appointments, j Terms,
though, are different, those of
senators being longer. t
There is a natural ambition to
move from the House to the Sen
ate, both in state legislatures and
in the Congress. In the next
State; Senate at least 16, a ma
jority, have had prior experience
in the House. (Two more are
to be named to succeed Sens.

other- offices, and they knay ' be
former House members.) f
One consequence of this is a
steady drainage of talent from
the .House. When one adds to
this the depletion due toj unwill-
again, or defeat in the elections,
one discovers that while the Sen
ate numbers many, legislative
veterans, the House at each ses
sion includes a large proportion
of members without experience.
Thus in the next State; Senatt
18 will nave had previous ex
perience in the Senate, eight new
senators previously served in the

Officials hoped by sealing - the

could even guess wnen they would
be able to reopen the diggings to
send rescue crews into the blast
area. -1 : . !
End f Slim Hopes ; - S
The grim decision to seal the
mine ended I any slim hopes that
any of those entombed might be
rescued. j j
One other man, working outside,
also was killed in the violent ex
plosion Saturday which wrecked
one of the mine entrances and a
ventilation shaft. t 1
The blast, followed by a raging
fire underground, occurred about
1:45 p.m. (EST) .the No.! mine
of the Jamison Coal And Coke Co.,
in this little North Central West
Virginia community. 1
Cause Unknown 1 I
State Mines Chief Frank B. King,
who described the mine Sunday as
'a powder keg," and company of
ficials said they had no idea what
may have caused the explosion.
A second blast late Saturday
night sent flames roaring more
than 100 feet into the sky above the
ventilation shaft. No one ' was in
jured because only security person
nel! were in the area.
. Vice President James Hyslop of
the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal
Co., which recently acquired the
corporate stock of Jamison, said
the explosion undoubtedly resulted
from ignition of highly combusti
ble methane gas. . ,
Test Shewed Clear
He added that aa atmosphere
test in the mine only 30 minutes be
fore the first explosion showed the
air was clear. !
"Something suddenly happened
to release a considerable portion
of methane," Hyslop said.;
The decision by King to seal all
the mine openings; concurred in
by U.S. Bureau of Mines and com
pany officials after mora than
three hours of conferences, came
about 2 a.m. Sunday. ?- x
Visibly moved and conceding
that the step removed any slender
hope that some of the men might
survive. King explained that "there
was just nothing else we could do."
Lewis Endorses Move ; -
The fire which followed, the first
explosion sent fieavy black coal
smoke curling from the mine's
main portal, more than two miles
from the explosion area. I ' .
l Emergency crews hoped. In seal
ing the openings, to smother the
fire by cutting off supplies of oxy
gen entering the mine. 'No one
would sar, however, bow long that
might take. t
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers Union, told
King during a visit to the; disaster
scene that the decision to seal the
mine seemed proper. The UMW
president said the sealing action
appeared to be the only, way of
extinguishing the firel . i , -

Egypt Leadership
By WILTON WYNN, I
I CAIRO, Sgypt (JP) Egypt's governing Revolutionary -' Council
Sunday deposed Maj. Gen. Mohammed Naguib as President and
council chairman. It accused him of being implicated in a ?plot
by the fanatic Moslem Brotherhood against the life of his rival,
The action against Naguib was
taken after an early morning clash
in suburban Heliopolis between po
lice and! a Brotherhood mob in
which two civilians were killed and
two policemen seriously wounded.
. Maj. Amin Shaker, a govern
ment SDokesman. said Youssef Ta-
laat. leader of the Brotherhood's!
secret order, was arrested and con
fessed Egypt's 53-year-old Presi
dent had approved the assassina
tion plot against Nasser.

route for him from the place he
had been hiding since September.
The government had offered a re
ward of 2,000 Egyptian pounds ($3,
40) for information leading to his
arrest.
Nasser i Control
The council's action Sunday left
Nasser, 37, undisputed strong man
of f Egypt. A government source
said he wauld be acting President
as well as Premier until a new
chief of state is chosen.
The action climaxed a long riv
alry between the two soldier-politicians
who had teamed up to de
pose King Farouk in July,: 1932.
Their clash burst into the open
last February when Naguib quit
as President and Premier. Popu
lar outcry forced the Revolution
ary Council to restore him as Pres
ident', with the premiership , going
to Nasser.
Tease Situatioa
Sunday's swift steps came in an
atmosphere of tension and expec
tancy. Moslem Brotherhood witnes
ses made damaging statements re
garding Naguib last week before a
military court trying Mahmoud Ab
del Latif. Cairo tinsmith and
Brotherhood member who admit
ted he fired eight shots in an un
successful attempt to kill Nasser
in Alexandria Oct 27.
With Sunday's arrest of Talaat
and his reported statement impli
cating Naguib, the papers were al
lowed to open up on the man who
had been the idol of millions of
Egyptians and the object of their
cheers and kisses.
Cairo's streets were quiet, but
labor unions were expected to call
pro-Nasser i demonstrations for
Monday. j i
