CeniraIia Il Inspection

BY shs A.soeioisd Press

CENTRALIA, Ill., April 4.-Sec-
retary Of the Interior Krug says a
Federal inspection week before the
March as disaster which took Ill
miners lives at Centralia Coal Co.'S
Mine No. showed mo imminent
danger"
Mr.. .Krug, In letter to Senate
subcommittee which today sum-
moned more witnesses in its in
vestigation of the blast, maintained
there was no violation Of the Krug-
Lewis agreement, as alleged by John
L. Lewis.
The Secretary said the Krug-
Lewis agreement and the Federal
Mine Safety Code require the clos
ing of mines only where the Fed
eral inspector or the Union Mine
Safety Committee finds the exist
ence of danger"

ers, may testify later before the sub
committee in Washington.
MlBSTS SduCu HI VAIN.
In other testimony taken last
night by the committee, a company
superintendent disclosed some of
the trapped miners at Centralia
telephoned in vain TO the main
shaft for aid Immediately after the
explosion.
Harry Neirman, the superintend-
ent, said concentrations OF carbon
monoxide and lack of oxygen masks
at the time made rescue of the
trapped miners impossible.
Driscoll O. Scanlan, an Illinois
State mine inspector, testified there
would be more mine explosions in
Illinois unless (State) inspectors
are taken out of politics"
Ordered to Solicit Funds.
He said State inspectors had been
ordered by a Republican-appointed
States mines director, Robert M.
Medill, to help solicit funds from
Illinois coal mine operators for the
Chicago mayoralty campaign.
In the election last Tuesday,
Democrat Martin H. Kennedy de-
feated Republican Russell w, Root.
Mr.. Medill resigned the same day.
Mr.. Krug in his report to the
committee said neither preliminary
or final reports by Federal irlspec-
tors found imminent danger which
would have called into play emer-
gency procedure under the mine
safety code" He said the two re-
ports we're made last November
and March 1920
Fifty-two Repeat Offenses Listed.
The final inspection showed IS
items of noncompliance with the
Federal code, including So repeat
offenses, Mr.. Krug said.
Mr.. Krug said he did not have
an opportunity to consider remedial
action in consequence of the bad
showing because the disaster had
already occurred before the pre-
lin1inary or final report was re-
ceived"
He said it would be impossible
until after the explosions cause Is
determined ito allocate specific re-
sponsibility for the failure to take
suitable preventive measures
Management, labor and Federal
and State officials knew about the
safety violations, Secretary Krug
said, 'fsut no one realized the i'm
n1inence of the disaster until after
1t occurred"
Mr.. Krug reported there have been
71,030 recorded mine fatalities In 46
years, an average of 1873 a month.

His voice carried a strong note
of hope. And he has more reason
to hope than most people with
Hodgkin's disease. He was the
only one of a group of 40 to leave
Walter Reed Hospital alive.
The disease kills some within a
few weeks. Some linger for 20
years. The average is three years.

other statistics. About 5000 per

but it resembles cancer Probably
it is caused by a virus. Its chief
symptom is fatigue. A person with
it may appear to be in the best
of health.
Right now, the best the doctors
can do to relieve the disease-not
cure it's X-ray treatment and in
lection of nitrogen mustard direct
ly into the veins. DR.. Rottino and
associates at New York Univer
sity and Ohio State have organ
lied a foundation to make a con
c~entrated attack on the disease.
They want to find out the an
swers to such questions as why
it strikes only in human beings.
why three men to n woman
have it, why the incidence main
tains the same tempo year after

Dr.. Rottino escorted us to the
bedsides Of two women patients.
Three weeks ago hope was given
up for one of them. Now she's
better. Once DR.. Rottino had her
transferred to another ward, so
that she would be away from the
other patient.
She told the doctor that she
knew why he was moving her
because she was going to die. The
doctor said the move was to give
her more sunshine. She knew bet
ter. After a good cry, she was
wheeled back alongside her com

It's mighty tough on her. She had
