inspection of Prison Camps Is Rejetted
By GEORGE A. McARTHUR


 MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 24-tR- The Communist high command to- day rejected Gen. Matthew B. Ridg- ways appeal to permit Red Cross inspection of North Korean prison camps.
 The Peiping radio said North Korean Premier Kim Iy Sung and Chinese General Peng Teh-Huai told the United Nations supreme commander that inspections were unnecessary because of the Thu manitarianism" shown allied pri- sOners in Red Camps.
 The Communist broadcast the text of a letter to Ridgway delivered Monday to LIN truce negotiators at Panmunjom.
 The Red commanders declared that early agreement on an armistice will permit all prisoners to return quickly to their homes.
 4ICy dQQCu.
 Several important questions in the armistice negotiations are now on the point of being settled. The only thing holding up agreement. {. is your sides continuous and persistent sidetracking and unrea- sonable demands which are creat- ed to delay the negotiations"
 A strongly hopeful note was sounded at Panmunjom Monday by North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee San Jo.
 After listening to Rear Adm. R. E. Libby ask again whether the Reds would permit an immediate exchange of sick and wounded pri- soners, Lee declared
 We hope we are trying to reach an agreement before the 27th of December Of course we will give pri- ority to the sick and wounded. As the 27 is not far off, we don't know why there is such hurry"

WASHINGTON. Here are a few illustrations of how tax injus- tice operates under the present system whereby the wire -pullers settle their tax-fraud cases with out going to jail, while the little fellows with no pull go to jail or suffer severe hardship.
 It's this kind of tax injustice that undermines democracy and in Europe has led to Communism.
 Illustration Mo- 1-Is that of Francis J. Massey, warehouse worker for Washington depart ment store who was charged by treasury agents with having re- ceived s150 in dividends from stock in the Washington Gas Light Go.
 Massey was able to show, through an affidavit from the gas com pany that he never owned the stock, that it was owned by his late father. However, the lIlCeIIial Revenue office demanded that he pay just the same Though his sal ary was only $28 a week and he had a wife and two small children to support, he proceeded to pay up at the rate of $2 a week to total of $1892.
 This. however, was not fast enough for the treasury, and lien was slapped on his salary for the remaining $15.59 This got him into trouble with his employer who didn't want to be harboring tax dodger and he was fired.
 He was unable to find full-time work, his youngest child became ill, the family doctor had not been

1 19 Miners
 Are Killed In Blast

WEST FRANKFORT, H., Dec.24 -tR-One miner was rescued from 56-hour entombment today after the nations worst mine tragedy in g years claimed 119 lives.
 Taken from the shaft $50 feet below the surface was Cecil San ders, A, of Benton, III. He was taken to the United Mine Workers Hospital in serious condition. Shortly after Sanders was brought to the. surface, mine superintend- ent John R. Foster said.
 There are five men down there no more alive. We believe that is all"
 The discovery of the last of the 119 bodies followed rescue work that has been in progress day and night since the violent explosion shattered the Orient No. mine Friday night.
 Farewell Note
 Morgue attendants reported one of the six bodies found early today still was warm. Found on the body of B. R. Williams, about 40, of West Frankfort, was this final message scrawled on the inside of cigarette package and addressed to his widow, Laura:
 q love you all the way. go to- night with Christ. I love him too.'
 All but five of the bodies have been recovered from the debris Uttered shafts. One miner died last night in a hospital of injuries re- ceiyed in the explosion. He was Ralph Kent of Marion, III. 1 Severe Disaster
 IL was the worst mine disaster in Illinois since 1909 and the worst in the nation s:1.ee 1928. The Cher " mine blast Ii. 1.lipois on Nov. i Is, 1909 claimed 259 lives. An un- derground explosion at Mather, Pa, in 1928, killed l05 miners. In le47, III miners were killed in a blast at Centralia, III.
 The blast ripped through the 1 tunnels at 8:35 pm. (EST Fri day. It occurred about two miles hack from the shaft. And it shat tered timbers for three miles in the sprawling mine which covers a l2 mile area.
 Miracle" of Survival
 Sanders wife and his 23-year-old son. Paul, were waiting at the hos pital when the survivor was brought | in. She talked briefly with her husband.
 "Oh, my God, we've prayed and rrayed for this" she muttered over and over. She referred repeatedly to the miracle" of her husbands survival.
 Grave concern over the blast was shown in the flight here from Washington of Oscar Chapman, Secretary of the Interior, John l., Lewis, United Mine Workers pres ident. and John Forbes, director of the U. s. Bureau of Mines
 The three men went below the surface with rescue workers yes terday for a brief personal inspec- ton of the damaged sections.
 Chapman ordered dozen feder- al mine inspectors to open an in vestigation into the tragedy.

$60,00O Fire Levels WiIdes HonleSaturdaY

A spectacular fire Saturday night completely destroyed the Keith Wildes home on the Douglas high way, causing losses which are esti- mated at over $60.000.
 No fire equipment was available and hundreds watched helplessly while the nearly new, ultra modern residence crumpled in the mass of high-soaring flames.
 The origin of the fire was not exactly determined, but it was thought to have started from an electrical device which heated and melted snow from the driveway leading to the attached garage.
 Mrs. Wildes' mother, Mrs. Alma Hendrickson, was in her apartment in the semi basement of the home when the fire started, but was un- aware the house was burning until she heard a noice, rushed upstairs and found a passer-by, Herman Porter, and others, pounding on the door The telephone was still in order, and the alarm was given from the burning home.
 Watch Home Burn
 MT. and Mrs. Wildes were at a dinner party when informed of the fire. They rushed home through the piled up traffic, but were able to do little but watch as their new home was destroyed. Mrs. Hendrick- sons personal effects were nearly the only things saved from the flames.
 With it's metal glowing dull red from the heat, the new Chevrolet of Mrs. Wildes stood in it's place in the garage The fire evidently started near or in the garage and passers-by were unable to save the car.
 The Wildes' dog died in the burn ing house. It had heen put into its bed earlier by Mrs. Hendrickson, and could not be found and did not come cut of the flaming house later when called in an effort to save it
 Fire Heat Intense
 The heat from the fire was in tense, driving onlookers back to the highway. Flames twisted and roared as sparks flew hundreds of feet in the snow-filled air. Sitting on the Channel front, the burn ing house was visible for miles. The torch-ike flames brought mass of spectators who caused

Budapest Quartet Plays ExquisiteN
In First Concert of Public Series

dedicated to Gabriel Faure and
was composed as tribute to the
French composer on the Tooth
anniversary of his birth. Perhaps
Milhaud sought to approximate
Faure's special idiom in this quar-
tet. for it has rare delicacy and
charm and only occasionally some
fof the modernist'S disharmony
When this occurs, it adds a pi-
quancy to the songful measures
There is a quality of disem-
bodiment in this music. It's melo-
diousness is surrounded by light
and translucence in the f1uently
moving first movement and in the
fragile Lent" played with muted
strings. The lively finale has a
bit of carnival spirit in it without
losing the tenuous atmosphere that
pervadeS the whole work. It is the
Milhaud touch that gives it fla
vor but this is never overdone OF
intrusive. The Budapest artists
Joseph Roisman and JAG Gorodet-
zky. violins; Mr.. Kroyt, viola, anc
Mr.. Schneider. cellist, played il
exquisitely. The same program
will be given tonight.
