up the blackeped bodies of IA
miners Friday, victims of a ter
rifle explosion that dropped them
in their tracks 1926 feet under
ground.
Seventeen other miners work
ing on the same level, but $500
or more feet from the center OF
the blast, struggled through dust
and debris to safety. They walked
two and half miles through side
passages to avoid gas-filled cor
ridors.
AS the bureau of mines and
state inspectors opened an inves-
tigation, wives and mothers pre-
pared tonight to bury the dead.
What caused the explosion may
never be known. A carelessly-

a motor may have ignited a peck
ct of methane, the gas which
causes the will-o'-the-wlsp to

Kansas City.-Stepped-up pro-

Farmers are nudging their lay
ers on to a record 80 billion eggs
this year-the army needs them,
so does England. It's something
for the hen to cackle about.
There would be a cluck of sur
prise, however, if she could see
science taking over where she is
leaving off. Eggs are being pow
dered, crystalized or put in liquid
form.
The powdered product is pre-
ferred by the army, for it can be
stored in a small space, kept in
definitely and take any bump that
comes along.

ing to prevent any further short
age of farm labor.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
deputy selective service director,
wrote the boards that the elm
portance of agriculture in the ma
tional defense program cannot be
overestimated."
Hershey enclosed letter from
Secretary Wickard in which the
agriculture department head said
that ''an adequate supply of farm
workers for production of essen
tial defense is becoming serious
problem"
The defense program, Wickard
asserted, had drawn so heavily
from farm workers that the sup
ply of available labor declined
17.8 per cent between April l,
1910 and April /, 1941.

Airplane Output Shows Gain
Of4OOPer Cent For The Year

Washington. = Americas great
defense drive was a year old Sat-
urday, with William S. Knudsen.
the director of production, as
serting that airplane deliveries
had increased 400 per cent in that
period, 1925 new industrial pro-
jects had been started and $751;
200, 100000 worth of orders placed.
With the nations factories now
swinging into mass production of
planes, tanks and guns, it was ap-
parent too that the defense pro-
gram was also taking on new di-
rections and detectives.
One of the newest develop
ments of the program was sche-
duled for Monday however, a ma
tional nutrition conference for de-
tense to be held under the direc-
ton of Paul v. McNutt, the fed
eral security administrator. Some
400 delegates were expected to at
tend the three-day session. Among
the questions discussed were:
How much responsibility should
the government assume and what
should be the national economic
policy with respect to nutrition?
How best can the related prob
lens of undernutrition and farm
SURPRISES be solved? How can
America send Britain the food she
needs and, at the same time, give
American families an adequate
diet?
Another new development is
the creation of the office of home
defense under Mayor Fiorello H.
LaGuardia, mayor of New York
city. It's task will be to train civil
ians in the protection of life, pro-
perty, and strategic points such
as bridges and industrial plants
| in the event Of any war emergen-
cy.
In addition, the officials of the
agency are to be charged with re-
sponsibility for promoting the ma
tional morale, advising on any
schemes for the organized use of
civilians in defense measures, and
supervising the coordination of
state and federal home defense
units.
Developments yesterday related
to defense and the foreign situa-
ton included:
It was learned that the United
States and Canada are about to
establish two closely collaborat-
ing economic planning boards to
speed the mobilization of Ameri-
can resources for aid to Britain
and the defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
| A number of ship operators
were called to meet in Washing
ton on Tuesday to determine what
ships they can spare for "activi'
ties more vitality essential to the
national defense program"
