JUGO SLAV RULER
BELIEVES Debt TO
U. s. ONE OF HONOR.

Belgrade. Jugoslavia, Jan. 13.-(By
the Associated Press).-Coincidenta
with the arrival of the Jugo Slav debt
funding mission in the United States
today. King Alexander gave an exclu-
sive statement to the Associated Press
in which he declared he regarded the
debt to America as one of honor to be
settled on that basis up to the limit of
his country's resources.
AT the end of the war, which
brought realization of the ideal of our
people to live united as an independent
state" he said, "our government was
faced with ever-growing difficulties, of
which those Of financial order took
precedence. Considerable funds,
amounting to several billions Of dinars,
had to be devoted to reconstruction of
the railroads and restoration of the
rolling stock destroyed during the war.
Energetic action. especially since
1928, has brought financial stabiliza-
ton of the country. We have accept
ed every sacrifice. Taxes have reached
35 per cent. of the total revenues of
the state. Contrary to other countries,
which achieved sterilization by float
ing loans abroad"
Emphasizing the need for foreign
capital, he said 1T is evident that the
process Of development of our country
would be greatly accelerated were we
sustained by the richer countries,
which could in all security invest their
capital in our production, either di-
rectly or in assisting us in the work
of building new railroads. bridges and
other public utilities constituting a
necessary condition to the health of
our economic life.
Our keenest desire is to arrive at
settlement of our war debts, which We
consider a matter of honor. We are
conscious of the services rendered us
by our allies during the war. They
were Of great assistance, enabling us
to sustain to the end the battle forced
upon us and to realize the dream of our
fathers for centuries.
I'VE are, however, convinced that
when such settlement comes account
will be taken of such sacrifices as we
have been called upon to make, the
devastation which we have been forced
to restore, and the heavy charges
which we are now supporting in order
to supply living for our invalids and
wounded. composing nearly one-tenth
of our population. I'LL 49, -

Recover 16 Bodies

The bodies Of 16 men were recov-
cred tonight. Negroes who were res
cued told of walking over bodies Of
! dead miners as they progressed from
a small pocket under the main shaft
in the man-way from which they
emerged.
John Evans, white pit boss. A. D.
Thomas, mining engineer of Hart
shorne, and two of his assistants
were in the mine and have not been
accounted for.
All other mines in the Wilburton
field closed down soon after the ex-
plosion and their crews were rushed
to the scene to aid in the rescue work.
The wrecked mine was op rated on
a non-union basis, as are most Of the
properties in this area.
Trained rescue crews from Krebes,
McAuister. Hartshorne and Halliyille
rendered their assistance.
Hysterical relatives of the entomb-
ed mine congregated about the en-
trance of the mine and remained
there throughout the day. Doctors and
nurses with medical equipment were
summoned from all nearby towns and
a special train was brought here from
McAllister to rush injured men to the
hospital as soon as they were brought
out.
A specially equipped rescue car Of

lieved. The digging will continue un-
til all of the bodies are recovered.
Rescuers have reached a level Of
1913 feet, but the work from now on
will be more difficult and slower, 1t In
said. A steel basket, operated by q
hoisting engine, has been put in oper-
alton to lift debris to the surface.
After Julius Graham, one of the
rescued negroes, had been taken from
his shaft, he rushed back and saved
his step-brother. Roy Gray.
4. d. Thomas, SO years old. a min
ing engineer for more than year and
a member Of the faculty of the state

those in the shaft at the time of the
explosion. He had contracted with
the company to survey three mines.
This was his first day in the mine.
Word from the rescue parties ex-
ploring the mine reported early to-
night that sixteen bodies had been
found. 1t was said that there would
be no attempt to remove the bodies
to the surface until it has been as
certained that there are no living men
in the mine.
An Italion miner took his small son
into the mine this morning to "show
him how 1t worked" They were
among those trapped.

Big DEMOCRATIC
HEADS favor EARLY
OK. OF REVENUE BILL

Washington, Jan. 13.-(AP)-Na-
tional Democratic party leaders sent
word to minority members of the
senate finance committee who have
sponsored a sub-tax reduction pro-
gram, urging them to facilitate early
passage of the pending revenue bill
even at the expense of success of
their plan.
After q conference with Glen
Shaver, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina. ranking
Democrat on the committee. reiter-
ated that he expected his program
for increased tax reduction 10 be ap-
proved by the senate, but that he
would not hold up passage of the
bill in effect to bring about its adop-
ton. On the contrary, he said, he
was ready to fight for early passage.
The national party leaders were
not represented specifically as oppos-
ed to the substitute program, which
calls for tax reduction totalling $780,
100000 instead of $3.50, 100000 writ
ten into the partisan house bill,
but it was made clear that they be-
lieved early enactment of the meas
ure to assure tax reduction by March
10 was more important. A similar
view was held by President Coolidge,
who believes that non-partisan con-
sideration of the bill by the senate
as by the house would tend to bring
more prompt action.
Republican leaders, meanwhile,
have declared they would clear the
road in the senate for the bill when
1T is reported by the committee.
Chairman Smoot said today it would
be impossible for the committee to
report the bill before next week.
