| The dinner will be the first big
gathering OF party political leaders
since Mr.. Sullivan's remark that
Mr.. Wallace and Senator Pepper of
Florida would not be asked to take

Mr.. Sullivan's declaration last
week was widely regarded as an
effort to read those self classified
liberals" out of the party
While neither Mr.. Wallace nor
Senator Pepper volunteered any i'm

two would take the Sullivan re-
mark lying down.
But even if they strike back, their
friends doubt that the pair will take
Mr.. Sullivan's remark as the signal
to. march off into a third party
movement.
They are more likely, these friends
say, to try to rally those of like
views around them for a speedy
effort to get Mr.. Sullivan out of the

a bigger hand themselves in party

to attend a solemn requiem high
mass in st. Mary's Roman Catholic
Church and a. memorial service in
the high school gymnasium con-
Quoted by the County Ministerial
Association.
For the families OF at least IA Of
the dead, there were brief notes
telling of the last thoughts OF their
loved ones as they faced the death
which they apparently knew was
their fate $40 feet beneath the
earth's surface.
God bless you ALL" one miner
scribbled in his helplessness. An
other miner urged his widow to
make certain their children at
tended church services.
The last of the bodies was To-
Gated Saturday and preparations

Federal Investigations of the dis
aster this week.
One of the 81 Centralia miners
rescued after the explosion said the
stoppage was "a good idea" Will
liam E. RoWekamp, one of TWO sur
viving officers of the Centralia UNIV

II hope it will call to the atten-
tion of the public the appalling con-
ditions under which miners must

GRID FIX TRIAL
HEARS ACTRESS
Ia Mcclure In Offering
Testimony Causes No
Sensation

NEW YORK, March 6 - W.H -
Hackstage, 10, these many months
little Ida Mcclure with the tawny
hair and the green eyes finally
walked into the spotlight today
ia the second big football fix
trial.
Pert, pretty and pouty-mouthed
Ida gave a good performance.
She failed to live up to her ad-
vance billing by revealing details
Of the high-jinks incidental to the
attempt to fix the Giants-Bears
professional championship game
last Dec. Is. But she still was
the most glamorous witness the
prosecution had to offer.
Ida, alternately appealing and
Indignant, said she hadn't had
anything to do with those big,
nasty football players, apart from
hobnobbing with them at the
apartment Of Alvin j. Paris, the
young sport already convicted of
trying to rig the big game.
HOneSt Idd is a f1OIlyWoou dCl-
ress just as the papers have been
saying ever since her name first
popped up in the Paris trial. She
appears for a fleeing instant in
a movie called Boomerang"
now playing in New York. Her
appearance today wasn't much
longer.
It lasted II minutes, to be
specific, but it was compelling
enough to draw the undivided at
tention of even the three de-
PENDANTS - David Krakauer, Je-
roe Zarowitz and Harvey Stem
mer.
The morning and first part Of the
afternoon had been occupied with
examination and cross = examine
lion of Paris and his father. Sid
ney J. Paris. The younger Paris,
face flushed and deep rings I'M
der his eyes, had little new to
offer.
The elder Paris, a wise-looking,
middle-aged gent in sharp clothes,
made n point for the prosecu-
