A desperate struggle to save 84

drove -back rescue crews.
Fifteen hours after the fire
started two miles from the shaft
entrance, State Mine Inspector
Richard McGee announced
there was no chance of the men
escaping alive. Every outside
entrance to the mine was or
dered scaled.
Before the -fire got out of con

coal and rock in a - vain effort
to by-pass the flames and reach
the men. . . ,
The fire broke out, at '1 p. m.

In Damage Suit
George Green, owner and op
erator of a local trucking busi
ness, is the defendant in a $25,
000 damage suit filed against
him by Leslie C. Olsen in cir
cuit court this week.
Olsen states in the complaint
that his left hand was rendered
permanently useless May 23 in
an accident as he was working
as a mechanic on ono of .Green's
trucks. Tho complaint blames
the accident on the fact that a
hydraulic- lift holding --up the
truck failed, causing tho auto
mobile to move, crushing Ol
son's left wrist, fracturing the
bones in the left forearm, in
juring a nerve and causing
bruises and lacerations on the

sealing of the burning area was
decided upon, Marcus Kerr,
chief of tho state division of
mines, had expressed belief the

asserted that if the men could

ARREST MADE WB.
- Measures to protect Tulelake

harm, and the arrest of one
alien .Japanese for manufactur
ing deadly weapons, came to
day in the wake . of Sunday's
knife murder, at the big segre
sation center, south of here. -

Confesses . L
According - to WRA ' sources,
Miyaeawa admitted before the
project director that he 'manu
factured . three, other, knives
which he . sold to . center rest
dents. The long-bladed knife
which was found in. his apart
ment was fashioned out of an
auto spring and others had been
made from old files.
WRA said that Miyaeawa's ar
rest was not connected with the
murder of Hitomi, but that it
occurred in the investigation
that followed the knifing of .the
cooperative chief. - Hitomi's
throat was slit, apparently by
a long knife, and his body was
found lying against the porch
of an apartment adjoining his
own Sunday evening.
Hitomi's funeral will be held
Saturday afternoon. ;
Other than the evidences of
a deadly under-surface struggle
seen in the threats to various
evacuees, the big center appear
ed quiet today.

and representatives of the com
m It tee in London have produced
one' possible formula to fit- into
the avowed policy of this government-
hot -to recognize the com

French people have so accepted
it. - - '
This formula calls for the civil
administration of French terri
tory - behind the" allies lines,
which would virtually assure the
committee of the executive right
to rule In France but would avoid
naming it as a government. The
agreement covers property, own
ership, currency i questions and
arrangements for arming French
forces -in France. . , -:
-' The British and French have
not signed the draft. The British
alone cannot make it binding oa
the allied commander, General
Dwight D. Eisenhower, and they
warn it signed by this country
as Well as Britain so that it will
be. binding. .; ) x V ':
