Labor Statistics said.
The bureaus consumer price

its October level, 1855 per cent
OF the l947-49 average, but it
was is per cent above the level
OF December, 1858. In Novem-
ber, the figures set a record,
making the sixth peak set in
seven months.
Most Of the increase during
1859 has occurred since May,
which terminated a year of
virtual stability" Bureau Com
missioner Evan Clague told a
news conference.
Food Prices Cited
Lower prices of food, ap-
parel and durable commodities
were largely responsible for the
December decline. Service
rates continued to climb and
prices of farm durable COM
modities other than food and
apparel also moved up.
Nationally, food prices de-
clined one-tenth of one per
cent. In the Washington area
they increased by the same per-
centage.
Mr.. Clague said that season.
ally lower prices for most cuts
of meat. particularly pork, and
eggs were largely responsible
for the decline while the prices
of fruits and vegetables were
seasonally higher.
In this area. Mr.. Clague
said, the increase was due
chiefly to higher prices for
fresh vegetables. fresh milk
and beef, which largely offset

26-year career of fighting for
the conservative viewpoint on

His retirement apparently
will clear the way for Repre-

versial Negro Democrat from

chairman of the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee.
There is some chance that
Democratic leaders will try to

Mr.. Barden indicated he
favors splitting the committee

Hopes for 400
In South Africa
Mine Fading
Rock Slides Trop
Workers; Poison
Cos Is Feared

CoALBROOK, South Africa,
Jan. % (AP).-Rescue teams
worked against dwindling hopes
tonight to save about 400 men
trapped deep in coal mine.
The miners were trapped yes
terday by two rock slides at
the Clydesdale Colliery, 35
miles south of johannesburg.
Loss of 400 men would make
this the second worst mining
disaster in history. There was
a loss Of 1,549 men at Henkeiko
Colliery in Manchuria in 1912.
Contact Denied
A report by a mine official
that rescuers had made con-
tact with some of the trapped
men stirred hope momentarily
today, but the contact was de-
MED later by the Department
of Mines.
Canaries were carried into
the Clydesdale shafts by res
cue teams as a precaution. Ca
naries are often used in mine
disasters to test the air, be-
cause they are more susceptible
to gas than human beings.
The Mines Department said
there was no evidence of a gas
explosion. A fresh air base can
now be established not far from
the rock barrier and efforts to
reach the trapped men are be-
ing carried out from this area,
the department said.
Originally 500 African Ne
groes and 6 white men were
believed entombed. But the
Department of Mines and
mining officials agreed late to-
day on a new estimate-about
400.
Mixed rescue teams of whites
and Negroes worked side by
side to get an emergency sup
ply of air to the men.
ITS sheer he'll down there "
said one rescue worker who
emerged from the pit after
digging through the night.
Another said that the chances
of getting any out seemed
hopeless.
VentilatOr Damaged
An explosion damaced the
mines surface ventilator and
cut of the air supply for a
time but it was restored this
afternoon.
There was fear of a spread
Of deadly methane gas.
First warning of impending
disaster came yesterday after
noon when the earth began
splitting on the surface near

and Heilbron. Police were
forced to divert traffic onto
side roads.
