22 Killed as Blast
Hits Indiana Mine
Torn Bodies
Taken From
Coal Shaft

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Mar. 8
(AP).-Twenty-two coal miners
died in a flash explosion deep
in a coal shaft last night.
Masked rescue workers hauled
out their torn, burned bodies in
a hazardous 1O-hour operation.
The 22d body was carried out
in a clattering mine rail car at
7:35 am. (CST) today. It had
been about six hours since the
first body was found.
Pockets of intense heat and
deadly coal gas threatened the
operation and forced the res
cuers to push forward with the
greatest care.
The explosion occurred in a
sloped shaft Of the Viking coal
mine, 8 miles northwest of here.
The first bodies were found
after about four hours of cau-
tious probing through a wall
Of fumes.
Felled in Their Tracks
There was danger of another
explosion, and as they groped
forward they sprayed chemicals
to prevent it. State police put
up rope barriers to keep griev-
ing relatives from danger at the
mouth of the shaft.
They fell where they were
working at the time of the ex-
plosion," said R. E. Hudson Of
Rosedale, Ind, a State mine
inspector.
"Only a couple tried to
crawl" Mr.. Hudson said. 1.-TWO
Of them got maybe is or 20
feet"
The bodies were burned so
badly that identifications had
to be made by belt numbers.
Gas Seepage Suspected
There was no official con-
lecture on the cause Of the ex-
plosion, but a United States
Bureau of Mines notice in a
washroom, dated today, an
nounced closing Of the mine
because Of Imminent danger
of reoccurrence of mine explo-
sion from gas and/or dust"
This seemed to add weight to
a common explanation of min
ers-that gas seeped from an
older. mined-out section and
ignited coal dust. Some miners
reported there had been small
gas fires since the new section
was opened last week.
The explosion was so far un-
derground that nobody heard
it, and mine officials were un-
able to pinpoint the time.
Just when the disaster was
discovered was not clear, either.
Apparently the first indication
came about 7:45 pm. (CST)
when an air pressure gauge on
the surface dropped to zero.
An official attempted to tele-
phone the miners and got no
response to repeated, frantic
ringing.
Dust BillowS From Shaft
Then coal dust was seen bill
lowing from the shaft.
Twenty-Five miners in an
other section Immediately were
ordered to the surface.
The explosion ripped up track
and knocked timbers and
mounds Of dirt to the shaft
floor. The damage was not ex-
tensive enough to close the
shaft and require tunneling,
but it slowed the rescue work.

The Brookland Citizens Asso-
citation last night voted to OPP
pose the widening of Thirteenth

allocate funds more wisely by
installing additional street
lamps and sewage systems in
the Northeast area.

As the worlds largest maker of hard
wood floors, we urge you to read this
message. 1t may save heartache and
expense. Here's what we've learned:
Today's self-polishing wakes are made
primarily for kitchen floors. Many Of them
contain tough synthetic plastics for
harder, brighter shine. As you may have
discovered, these wakes are difficult to
remove. With a lot Of work you can get
them up from your kitchen floor, but when
it comes to wood floors :. untch ont!
We issue this warning simply because
there is nothing we know Of that can re-
move these kitchen wakes from your wood
floors without causing serious damage to
both the finish and the wood.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS 10 YOUR WOOD HooRsl
Since these new kitchen wakes cannot be
removed safely, every time you use them
you are putting fresh coat of wax on top
of soiled one No matter how conscien-
tiously you clean before waxing, the layers
of old, soiled wax will eventually darken
and discolor your wood floors.
We are sure you'll recognize the logic Of
always removing the DID, soied wax before
putting on fresh coat of wax. It's the
only way you can have a clean, bright floor!
If your wood floors have already become
dark and discoored through the use of
these new wakes, the only thing to do is
have them refnished. If you're lucky and
your wood floors do not yet show i'll effects,
we urgently advise you to change cleaning
and waxing methods Immediately.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-10
Neveru
kitchen wax on
wood floors!
Many, new self-poGshing
waxes can't be removed from
wood floors Without serious
damage, cautions expert!

We can assure you that your wood floors
can be clean and bright years from now, if
you will take care of them in the proper
way. After 50 years Of experience, we don't
know of better method to clean and wax
wood floors than by using either Bruce
Floor Cleaner or Bruce Cleaning Wax.
THE RIGHT CARE FOR WOOD uooRsI
Both of these Bruce products work in the
same way. They contain two basic ingredi-
ents-a waterIess wood floor cleaner never
use water on wood and removable liquid
paste wax. You actually clean and Wan your
Wood floors at the same time.
Bruce cleans your floor and removes the
old, dirty wax . then leaves rich, new
coat of real paste wax protection that can
be rebuffed any time. Your wood floors
will beam with clean natural beauty.
Remember-and l can't stress this
too strongly-you must always remove
soiled wax before putting on a fresh
coat. It's the only way you can keep
your wood floors clean and bright!
If you want heavy coat Of wax, we
recommend Bruce Cleaning Wax. For
lighter waxing or for cleaning extra dirty
floors, use Bruce Floor Cleaner. certainly
hope you'll try the Bruce method. You'll
find it not only the best wood floor care,
but the easiest, too.
