12 Miners Found
Dead ; 6 Missing
LOGAN. 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

imposed on her sorority.
“However,” Miss Averill said,
“1 would be most willing to help
out in any way I ca,n."
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. She said that if Miss
Averill were willing to work on
the committee even though her
sorority was not entering into
Greek Week activities she should
be allowed to.
In other business, Suzanne
Grossman announced that the
Panhel installation tea would be
held from 2 to 4 p.m. March 27

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.
After Zorin’s remarks, Ormsby
