Five bodies were removed from
the mine during the night, in ad

Four men escaped unhurt from
the mine 1800 feet up a moun
tainside 80 miles from here. and
one other, Vic Beide, foreman,
e as severely burned.
Bodies Badly Burned
The bodies brought here today
were placed in a mortuary to
await Identification. Most of
them were so badly burned that
they could not be immediately
recognized.
Officials of the mine, which
supplies the Alaska railroad with
coal. had not yet issued a list of
the crew of IS men working at
the time of the explosion.
The four who escaped unhurt
were reported to have told res

they stood soon was engulfed as
sections of the mine caved in.

PARTY CONVENTION
Ex-President Says GOP
Must Draft Affirma

BOSTON. Oct. 27 (JP)--The re
publican party had a fresh de
mand today from Herbert Hoover
for a national convention to draft
a new platform of "positive and
affirmative principles."
"There is a mighty service to
be performed," the former presi

Massachusetts last night.
"This party must make the hu
manitarian objectives of the na

wrecked by wrongful and ineffec
tive methods. It must reform de
structive economic policies which
undermine the standards of living
of the economic middle class, and
thus of all the people."
Halted by Applause
In an address halted so fre
quently by applause that he was
compelled to bid his radio au
dience goodbye before he reached
the end of his speech, Hoover de
clared: "The interest of the nation re
quires that the republican party
shall provide the country with
positive and affirmative principles
that will meet these yearnings
of the people today for a way out
and forward. It is a gigantic task.
But why should we not make a

Harvey Fremming, one of the

the recess was "in no way con-

said in a statement issued two

Murray said the federation
had called for the CIO unions : '
which , originally were affiliated
with the AFL to "desert and be- ,

"Merely Reaffirmation"
, Murray also described the fed

"Their proposal. as we under
