Mercy Crew Is Trapped in
Shaft Where PSI Perished;

ALSDORF, Germany, Oct. %
UNS).-An increase in the
Anna coal mine disaster death
toll, already officially listed at
Isl, was feared today with the
sudden entombment Of % ex-
hausted rescuerS.
The trapped squad, it was be-
lieved, was shut off from escape
in the lower levels saS it was max
ing a final heroic effort to reach
the last group Of miners buried
by Mondays mysterious explo-
sion. the men were spurred to
almost superhuman, efforts by
rescue Of three miners who were
found huddled in a blind gallery
on the 1,200-foot level.
More Believed Alive
Redoubled relief operations in
the tunnels between the 1900 and
1850 foot levels were launched
Immediately after faint sounds be-
lieved to be signals from en-
tombed men were heard by some
Of the rescue parties.
From Is to IS men, 1t was estt-
mated, remained as yet some
where in the twisted and
tumbled underground channels, in
addition to the entombed rescue
party.
Since Mondays triple blast,
which smashed windows for miles
around and caused the collapse
of surface administration build
ings and consequent deaths, the
hospital has received IS injured.
some Of whom may die. OF the
dead, more than 20 were killed
in the collapse Of the buildings
above ground.
A close check Of the exact num-
Der of men in the subterTanean
passages and shafts at the .inne
Of the catastrophe has proved I'M
possible, but mine authorities
stated that the working shifts at
dawn usually comprised 666
miners. Many of these escaped
through exits removed far enough
from the scene Of the explosion
to remain into.
Few Are Identified
The majority of bodies brought
out could not be identified, being
burned or crushed beyond recogrli-
ton.
The bodies were found in
groups for the most part, piled
high near exits where vain at
tempts had been made to climb
to- safety. A few messages were
found scrawled on the tunnel
walls.
Investigators meanwhile made
small progress in aScertaining
what caused the explosions. Mine
officials said all dynamite under
ground stores were found intact,
although it was believed at least
one explosion occurred when q
huge supply of benzine blew up.

Christmas trade may be one of
the important factors which will
furnish a roseate end to a drab
business year and place trade on
q basis to meet 1891 with some
feeling of optimism.
With plenty Of money in the
banks-around $40, ,00O, ,0OO, 900 in
members of the Reserve system
alone-it was pointed out today,
there are prospects for a brisk
holiday retail business, despite
the business depression.
This opinion was based upon
the record last year. Although
the stock market crashed in mid.
autumn, industrial production
slunped heavily and a general
feeling Of commercial pessimism
became widespread, Christmas
business popped up" and sales
were substantially as large as in
the record spending season OF
1928.
ClFGukaG1OM UGCuUeS
Money in circulation has shown
@ heavy decline since last year
and during the Christmas season
urlquestionably will be much
smaller than last year. On Sep
tember 80, there was $4,501 $685..
900 outside of the Treasury and
the Reserve Banks, but this will
increase substantially until the
end of the Christmas buying sea-
son, although probably not to as
great a degree as in former years.
If the suggestions Of some
authorities are followed, Christ
mas and other fall and winter
business may be stimulated by
some relaxation of consumer
credit and undoubtedly there will
be some extension Of installment
buying which viii tend to put
commodities in motion. In many
cities during December stores
handling Christmas goods adver-
tise that credit may be extended
SO that the bills may be paid in
February.
Would Create Jobs
While credit extension of this
character to persons without jobs
would be unsual, nevertheless
those with regular incomes might
be stimulated to buy to a greater
extent than otherwise, thus tend
ing to stimulate the movement of
goods and so create employment.
During the period Of the de-
preston there has been a sub
stantial increase in the volume of
idle money. While reports for
the last bank survey, that CT
September, have not yet been COM
piled, figures show that total de-
posits Of all member banks of the
reserve system on June 80 showed
O gain of $2,246,347, 900 in a year,
and gain Of slightly more than
that amount since March.

NEW CHEVROLET
PLANT OPENED
Production or Company Is
Increased As Export
Office Built

The Chevrolet Motor Company
has announced an expansion OF its
production capacity through the
opening last week OF the rebuilt and
enlarged assembly and export plant
at Tarrytown. N. Y.
The new Tarrytown plant has a
capacity Of 900 cars daily and Is
one Of the nine assembly plants and
one Of two export plants maintained
by Chevrolet in the United States.
Completion Of this plant places
Chevrolet in a more advantageous
position to meet rapidly expanding
sales requirements for its product
along the Atlantic seaboard. In ad-
dition. the move was made to thor
oughly modernize the plant and
bring 1t up to the high standard Of
equipment and efficiency that char
acterizes Chevrolet plants in other
sections of the country.
The new plant is a one story.
brick and steel structure, 1000 by
400 feet. with monitor type roof.
providing for the maximum light
and ventilation. Adjoining 1t Is a
new two story office building. 200
by 600 feet. OF concrete and brick
construction.
The plant has two domestic as
sembly lines and an export boxing
line. The export division OF the
Tarrytown plant serves many coun-
tries at present inaccessible to over
seas Chevrolet plants. In several
instances. Chevrolet finds 1t more
~expedient to ship direct from Tarry-
town TO a foreign country than from
a Chevrolet plant overseas. IN the
case OF the Tarrytovn plant, this
applies only to countries that re-
ceive ears fully assembled. The
ether Chevrolet export plant at
Bloomfield, N. j. ships only knock
ed down parts for assembly at
General Motors plants overseas.
The finished Chevrolet cars, as
sembled and boxed at Tarrytown
are put on barges and floated down
to New York city. where they are
put aboard ships for various parts
Of the world.

to say that many buyers are keep
