CENTRALIA Ill.,, March 20
One hundred and seven, men are
still trapped in the Centralia Coal
Company's mine, No. s. and little
hope of their rescue was enter
tanned this afternoon.
Twenty-eight miners have been
rescued, and 10 of them are in a
hospital, where their condition is
reported to be serious. They are
still suffering acutely from car
bon monoXide gas they inhaled
before they were brought to the
surface.
1t has not yet been determined
what was the cause of the ex-
plosiOn, as none of those rescued
is able to talk coherently.
Rescuing parties have walked
through the four miles of tun-
nels, 500 feet underground,
searching for the victims. Because
of the gas still in the tunnels,
rescuers have to come to the sur
face at short intervals. while 9TH
CIR rescuers make descent into the
tunnels.
1t is the first major accident
that has occurred in Illinois mines
in Is years. The worst coal mine
disaster in the history of Illinois
occurred November ID, 1909, when
259 miners lost their lives in a
pit at Cherry.

The measure on changing the
names of Division street and

by 80 vote. Commissioners
Louis Carbonell and Hunter Har-

said he was entirely IN favor Of
naming Division street after Pres

Municipal Hospital also be named
after him. He objected strongly
to changing the name of any
part of Roosevelt Boulevard.

they would oppose any change in

Clay Offers Extra Food
To Displaced Persons
Who Leave u. 5. Zone
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BERLIN, April 14-Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, American military governor,
today offered a 60-day supply of
food to all United Nations displaced
persons in the American zone as a
repatriation incentive.
At the same time, he warned some
$4,000 displaced persons in the zone
that they could not count on Ameri-
can assistance indefinitely
Those of you who choose to re-
main here in the United States zone
of Germany rather than return
home, face uncertain conditions, :"
Gen. Clay's proclamation to dis
placed persons declared.
Assistance from the American
people through the United. States
forces here cannot continue indef-
nitely. The extent of assistance
which will be available through an
international organization is like
wise uncertain.
It hope that you will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity and
volunteer to go home this spring
rather than face the uncertainties
of continued residence in Germany" "
Approximately $4,000 Poles took
advantage of the food bonus in a
three month period last year and
were voluntarily repatriated. This
year the offer has been extended to
all United Nations displaced per-
sons, including Jews. 1t goes into
effect April Is.
The 60-day food supply, in the
form Of three cases of 10-in-1 Army
rations for each person who decides
to return to his home voluntarily, is
in addition to a regular ration for
the journey.
