Extra Pay Barred
To T.. T.. T.. Foremen
For Defense Courses
Some Receive Bonuses,
Causing Dissatisfaction;
This Area Affected

Civilian Conservation Corps head
quarters disclosed today that James
J. McEntee, C. C. c. director, had
launched a survey of extra pay
practices in connection with defense
skills instruction in the camps. In
the meantime, it was said, Mr..
McEntee barred acceptance by c.
vocational education funds, and gave
resignation as their alternative.
While it was indicated that dis
satisfaction over bonus" payments
to certain foremen for teaching
courses sponsored by vocational edu-
cation authorities involved camps in
and about Washington. a check Of
a number of c. c. c. establishments
in this area did not reveal specific
instances.
Mr.. McEntee's Office explained the
trouble began in 25 Wisconsin camps,
where foremen drawing $2,400 year
refused to continue the voluntary
C. c. c. program of vocational in
struction because a favored few"
were being paid additional for
similar work. The latter. a spokes-
man here said, were paid about IS
out of vocational education funds of
local authorities for each of the
tWice-weekly instruction periods.
This plan was adopted in locations
in which the camps were too far
from local vocational schools for
the c. C, c. youths to attend.
Combination foremen-instructors
voluntarily teach off duty courses
in auto mechanics. metal trades,
radio, heavy equipment operation
and other nom -combatant skills sug-
gested by defense officials.
Advised of the refusal of some
instructors to continue the courses,
Mr.. McEntee issued an order limit
ing all to the original C. C. C. wage
scale and accompanied it with
terse demand that those who did
not accept the order resign i'm
mediately.

Dash Through Tunnel
lndiono Explosion Victims
Bodies, Most Of Them
Burned Badly, Recovered

By the Associated Press.
BICKNELL, Ind, May 23-The
bodies of IA miners killed by an
explosion in the Panhandle Mine
near here were brought to the sur
face today one by one.
Seventeen other men, who had
been working on the same level,
emerged safely from the under
ground workings by a circuitous
2la-mile route after the explosion
last night.
Most of the bodies were burned
badly Mothers, wives and children,
who had waited stoically since the
explosion, broke into sobs as res
cuers brought out the bodies.
Victims Identified.
The dead:
Charles w. Harrington. At, of
near Bicknell; E. r. Cole, 48. Of
Vincennes; James M. Smith, IS, Of
near Bicknell; Virgil Sager. 30, of
Freelandville; Richard Smith, Al;
Dewey Stinett. Maurice Taburiaux,
40: Floyd Harper, 80; Charles Os-
born, 80; Charles Wright. SO; Will
bert Redmond. "a: Charles B. May,
so: F. M. Vincent, At, and Arthur
Gourdouze, A, all of Bicknell.
Jack Ogilvie of Bicknell, in charge
of the mine rescue squad, expressed
belief gas or a mixture of gas and
dust became ignited and caused the
explosion. He said part of the level
was damaged badly. with timber and
other debris hampering rescue work.
The rescuerS, aided by oxygen
masks, brought the bodies Of Wright
and James Smith to the surface
soon after the explosion. They were
not burned. They had to wait for
the gas to clear before being able
to reach the others.
Survivors Describe Scene.
Charles MesSel a miner working
on the same vein but 1000 feet away,
said he and the men around him
didn't realize what had happened
as no blasting was scheduled for
last night.
Motorman Benny Hughes then
saw smoke rolling down the level
and the group started for the shaft.
Fumes and coal dust became so
thick they had to turn off to one
side and follow a long 2l2 mile
route to the opening.
Dust few up in front of us and
our eardrums thumped," said Loader
Quincy Hardesty. 1T was like walk
ing through hell's half acre to get
out"
Blast Was 325 Feet Down.
The blast occurred 325 feet below
the surface at 9:l0 o'clock last night,
only an hour and so minutes before
the mine was scheduled to close for
the night.
The scene of the blast was in the
fifth vein, the lower of two levels IN
the third and fourth west side en-
tries off the main south entry. This
is about 1000 feet from the main
shaft. The men were loading coal
at the time of the explosion.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18-Stocks had
difficulty in maintaining their equili-
brium in today's snail-like market.
The list slipped at the start, re-
vived and kept slightly ahead dur
ing the greater part of the session.
Advances, on the whole. were in
minor fractions, and even those were
wiped out in a number of instances
in the final hour. Closing quota
tionS, consequently, we're a trif1e
mixed.
The ticker tape lapsed into uncon-
sciousnesS at intervals and the turn
over OF approximately 100000 shares
for the full proceedings was one Of
the smallest in about six months.
The rather feeble rallies of the
past two sessions inspired further
wariness in speculative and invest
ment quarters. the deduction being
that the mild upward reversals were
principally of a technical nature and
not definite signs the long drought
was about to be broken.
On the other hand, opinions were
heard here and there that the mar
ket might have gone a considerable
distance in diScounting bad foreign
news and persistent tax worries.
Business developments, including
favorable earnings statements and
batch of regular and special divi-
dendS, brought in support for indi-
Vidual issues.

unidentified English port was said
to have been mined.
The Germans acknowledged losses
of two planes, but said they had
shot down two British aircraft and
five barrage balloons.
DNB reported a raiding German
warship-the name of which was
not mentioned-had sunk 10000
tons Of merchant shipping, thereby
topping the record OF the World
War merchant raider MoeWe. The
latter was credited with sinking 81
steamships and five sailing vessels
totaling 10000 in four months in
1861.
The high command said the Brit
ish made no flights last night over
Germany or German occupied ter

Defense
Continued From First Page)

were Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief
of naval operations. and Admiral R
L. Gormley, who has recently been
in England on a naval observation
/ mission.
AS the Navy officials left the White
House, Admiral Stark was asked If
there had been any discussion of
additional transfers of Navy ships to
the British.
His reply was in the negative, but
he offered the additional informa-
ton that he had been questioned
about the same possibility on Capitol
Hill last week. "At that time" he
said, he told the legislators that
nothing was contemplated "for the
moment"
"World Too Full of Surprises"
"I can't say about today or to-
morrow. the world is too full of sur
prizes. 1t is an impossibility to try
to legislate now for something six
months ahead"
The admirals testimony last week
was before an executive session of
the House Naval Affairs Committee.
Meanwhile, the White House said
that former Secretary Of Commerce
Harry L. Hopkins, who returned to
Washington Sunday after several
weeks absence on confidential
mission for the President in Great
Britain, would continue his consul
tations with Mr.. Roosevelt and other
administration officials during the
next week or so. This explanation
was made in response to suggestion
that Mr.. Hopkins hold press con-
ference to discuss his trip, the White
House spokesman saying that the
former cabinet officer would not meet
the press until after he had COM
pleted his official reports to the
Government.
The defense zone orders, 1t was
said at the Navy Department, were
issued to strengthen control of the
areas about naval air and shore
bases now being constructed or
rushed to completion as part of the
total defense program of this coun-
try.
Won't Issue Certificates.
Navy officials explained that no
navigation certificates such as the
British use to control shipping will
be issued. The zones will not be
control ports such as England main
tains at Gibraltar and other stra-
tegic points athwart sea lanes.
Under the British system, after an
inspection of a ships cargo, "navi-
cert" is given the ships master,
stating that his cargo and vessel
will not be subject to seizure.
Navy officials said the United
States previously has had no legal
authority to keep ships out of the
defense areas, where under the guise
of friendliness they might come close
to shore and lay mine fields. The
same thing could be done, 1t was
added, by mine-carrying planes over
these points.
AS early as 1920 Pearl Harbor, T.
H.; Dutch Harbor, Alaska; Guanta-
namo Bay, Cuba; Sublc Bay Of
Olongapo, P. l., had been put on

regions about the naval establish
