sion boats during the war and then
closed up his business when postwar
labor strife began. and Sewell
Avery, chairman of the board OF
the Montgomery Ward mail-order
house.
Atom Scientists HOnored.
The 1945 field in science was
monopolized by the atom smashers.
For the designation as outstanding
a majority of the editors grouped
the entire body of scientists who
contributed to the first atomic
bomb. Of those mentioned individ-
ually, however, the most conspicu-
GUS was DR.. j. r. Oppenheimer,
University of California physicist
credited by the War Department
with putting the atoms energy to
work for war.
Votes for individuals in this CLASH
flcation went to DR.. Neither, Dr..
Vannevar Bush, director of the Of
flee of Scientific Research and De-
velopment; DR.. Ernest o. Lawrence
OF the University of California, and
Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves, who was
In charge of the bomb making prof.
ect.

wide margin over John L. Lewis of
the United Mine workers.
Ernie Pyle Keeps Place.
Ernie Pyle, veteran war CORE
spondent, who was killed on Ie Is
land of Okinawa in April, retained
for the second year his position in
editors eyes as the outstanding per.
sonality in literature. A collection
OF his dispatches, Brave Men" is
still on best-seller lists.
Bob Hope, sharp-tongued radio
and screen comedian, also was a
second-time winner in the enter
tainment field. The sweeping and
uninterrupted victories of the Army
football team won recognition in the
naming OF DOC" Blanchard, -fashy
backf1eld star at West Point, as THE
No. sports figure.
The late President ROOSEVELT
newsmaking qualities were remem.
bered by many editors and he was
rated second to Mr.. Truman In the
man of the year" classification
Others who won votes included Gen
Macarthur, Gen. Eisenhower anc
Premier Stain of Russia. AS out.
standing political figure, Mr.. Roose-
welt placed third behind Mr.. Truman

I'D and Largest Fire
Delays Rescue Work
In Kentucky Mine
BY the Associated Press.


PINEVILLE. KY, Dec. 28.-Rescue
work was halted temporarily today
when underground crews, seeking to
reach 30 or more trapped coal miners
near here, met the roaring flames of
another fire.
1t was the 23d fire the rescue
crews have encountered and was
worse than any of the previous ones
inside the Kentucky Straight Greek
Coal Co. mine No. l. .3
Hurried calls were spread over a
two-county area for emergency re-.
serves to combat the fire, latest one
in a series which hampered rescue,
men at work since shortly after an
explosion wednesday morning closed
the tunnel.
No Bodies Found Yet.
State officials and rescue super
Visors Issued an "unreserved denial"
to news stories (not by the Asso-
ciated Press that one or more
bodies had been found in the mine.
Efforts to reach the trapped men
were hampered by great accumula-
tons of fallen rock.
| The rescue squads, working in re-
lays in the debris locked tunnel,
pressed forward 900 feet in a H.
hour period overnight. They held
no hope OF finding the men alive.
81 Names on List.
Earl Lewis, superintendent of the
mine and son of Owner w. E. Lewis.
/ asserted "it would be a miracle If
they found even one of those men
alive. There is not even a mouse
alive in there"
/ Mr.. Lewis said 81 men were on
the list of those issued lamps before
the unexplained explosion. Mine
officials previously had estimated 80
to so men were entombed.

What 'sNew
In Business
Sounds Warning
On Canada Colds
BY WARD SCHULTZ

With all the current interest
in Canadian gold mining stocks,
The following comment by Wash
ington Dodge OF Roberts g. Co.
of New York may be interesting:
I'VE do not wish to magnify
the hazards In Toronto, nor TO
micrify the possibilities, but we
hope that new buyers of these
shares realize how great are the
odds against their awakening
clothed In the golden fleece.
Although the Yukon territory
gold fields passed their peak Of
100000 ounces in 1900, the
Canadian gold industry il less
than three decades old. In 1909
Benjamin HOIllnger and Alex
Mcintyre discovered the two
great properties bearing their
names and John Wilson discOv-
cred the Dome deposits. In the
following year, the Premier was
discovered in British Columbia,
in 1912 Harry Oakes staked
Lake Shore and In l94l Ed
Horne found the NOranda. These
big discoveries gave rise 10 thou
sands Of new publicly subscribed
corporations, just as the rich
strikes in the YellOwknife are
giving "A new speculative i'm
petus today. But the sad fact
remains that any student ef
securities should he able to
rattle off the names of all the
big Canadian gold producers,
they are 80 few"
Dodge added:
Veteran traders In Canadian

We have met study mining al
