.ll9 COAL MINERS
 TO BE PENALIZED
StOppages in Industry Blamed; Hundreds More
 Face Prosecution

Sydney, Jan. 9- (U.P.) - While one batch of workers was being tried for illegally taking a holiday from war jobs, Australian Attorney General Herbert Evatt and Supply Minister John Beasley ordered 119 miners prosecuted for stoppageS in the coal industry.
 In one case, it also was decided to prosecute the mine manager and to recommend to the coal commits sion that the authorization of four young miners to remain in industry be revoked.
 Anarchy in the coal fields must be. stamped out" Evatt and Beasley said in a joint statement. We are satisfied that the great majority of miners are anxious to do their best for their country, but are being ob- structed.
 "1n some cases, reports suggest that mine managers are prepared 10 take up trifling points well calcu- lated to provoke or continue stop pages. This practice also must be stopped
 The government already had ar- raigned two patches of workers with illegally staying away from their jobs on New Years Day, and hun dredS more faced prosecution.

GENERAL FACES
 TRIAL FOR LIFE
Germans Accuse French man of Aiding Americans in Invading Africa
BY ROBERT DOWSON United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Jan. 9--(UP)-A French army general goes on trial for his life today at Lyons before secret Vichy state tribunal accused, ac- cording to German propagandists, with trying to hold the beach at Sete, Southern France, Nov. so he could aid an American army which he believed was invading France as well as French Africa.
 It was alleged that Gen. De Lattre De Tassigny had rallied force of 200 patroitic troops and there were intimations that in addition he had organized @ secret body in south- ern France to aid an American landing.
 A Berlin broadcast under a vichy date said:
 'The general is said to have been found in possession of arms and military equipment not allowed to the French army according to arm istice conditions. Some of this war material is reported to have been of American origin"
 Gen. TaSsigny was the Vichy army commander in chief for the Mediterranean department of Mont pellier, near the Spanish border Sete, the seaport for the area, Is l25 miles west of the Toulon naval base where the French fleet was blown up soon after the Germans invaded Vichy France.
 It had been known that Tas- signy was arrested after the Ger man invasion. For & time it was charged that he had tried to oppose the Germans.
 A Berlin broadcast as from Vichy now said:
 "The indictment accused the gen. eral of having planned to form a bridgehead at Sete Nov. 8 with the help of 200 soldiers who were under his charge in his capacity of com- nander of the military region of Montpelier, in expectation of an American landing there.
 On the morning of Nov. 6 the general was informed by telephone from Antibes of the Allied landings in Africa. But when American regiments failed to appear on French soil the general and the men who had remained with him surrendered to gendarmes at a point 1Sis miles south of Montpelier.

COAL DISASTER
 KILLS 13 MEN
No Hope for Others Still Trapped in MOrgantOwn,
 West Virginia Mine

Morgantown, W. Va, Jan. g - (UP)-The final death toll in West Virginia'S latest coal mine disaster was fixed at 13 today.
 Joseph Stewart, manager of the No. IS mine of the Pursglove Coal O., at Scott's Run, near here, an- nounced that i've have no hope at all" that any of the men still trapped by fire in the mine would be found alive. Sixty-five men es- caped the blaze.
 The bodies of four men have been removed from the mine-three last night and one yesterday morning. Nine others still were missing.
 The bodies removed last night were those of Rene Leroy, of Nor yarltown, and Paul Pozega and Charles Hart, both of Pursglove The body of Guy Quinn, 4S, of Mor- gantowr, 8 mine foreman, was re- covered yesterday.
 The fire started mysteriously yesterday in the mine at Scott's Run, five miles west of here. The V1CClIll5 WcIS 1lcdI " WAICkI ~ pGOhc out and four and one-half miles from the mines entrance. They started running, but poisonous fumes struck them down before they had gone mile.
 Fire crews still fought the fire, which was stubborn and had spread well beyond its original area. It still poured off lethal fumes, and crews with gas masks were trying to quell it with rock dust and a chemical.
 Agents of the Federal Bureau of Mines thought the fire might have been started by a trolley wire fall- ing across a wrecked coal car Jesse Backyard, director of the West Vir- ginia Department of Mines, was expected to open an investigation.
 The accident was the second within six months in the Pursglove mines. Twenty men were killed last July g, by an explosion in the No. 2 mine, near Morgarltown.
