W.Va. </P) The bodies of 12 coal miners, most of Ihem sprawled in two clumps, were found deep in a fire-scarred coal mine yester day. Officials gave up hope that six other miners still miss ing would be found alive. The search continued, how ever. The 18 were cut off behind smoldering fire and poisonous fumes a week ago. Stale Mines Director Craw ford Wilson said the 12 ap parently died quickly—there was no lime to barricade and wait it out. The fire that cut ihem off nearly three miles from the outside was started by a small rock fall that snapped an elec tric cable about 8 a.m. last Tuesday. The cable ignited some timbers, starling a slow burning fire In the coal seam. Pollock Rd. Closing Successful—Diem The closing of Pollock Rd. to through traffic has “worked out very well,” Albert E.

Miss Averill is member of Al pha Chi Omega sorority which has been forbidden to participate iin Greek Week because of a vio lation of the rushing code during formal spring rushing. Due to her affiliation with the sorority, Miss Averill was forced to relinquish her position as a Greek Week chairman. In making her appeal. Miss Emily Bradley, general co chairman of Greek Week, said that the Greek Week Commit tee felt that since Miss Averill had spent so much lime work ing on the sing and knew so many details involved in the sing that Miss Averill should be reinstalled. Judith High, a delegate to Pan hel Council, said allowing Miss Averill to be the co-chairman would not lessen the impact of the penalty imposed on Alpha Chi Omega.

An instructor in Schwab Aud FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Soviets Criticize Disarmament Plan GENEVA (IP) Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin threw cold water on the Western arms cut plan at the opening yesterday of the 10-nation, East-West disarm ament conference. He gave the meeting a sour start though Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev sent a message of greeting. “I am deply convinced that the day is not far off when the age-old dream of humanity will come true and the world will live without aims or war," his message said. Zorin's quick criticism of the three-stage Western plan, with its provisions for stringent inspection and conti ols, drew a sharp i ( ac tion from the Americans and Brit ish. j Zorin read Khrushchev’s mes i sage of greeting info ihe record. ! The Soviet leader said the Soviet | representative had received in ■ siructions "to contribute in ev ery possible way to the fruitful , work of the committee." . Then, without a change of ex pression Zorin blasted the West ern plan as unrealistic and im practical. In words which any dip lomat could understand, lie ques tioned the good faith of the Amer- Jicim, British, French, Canadian and Italian delegations. The Western plan provides for many technical studies to work out forms of conirol and envisages ihe setting up of an in ternational disarmament organi zation. It contains no time limit.
