Warden Heinze traced the
flareup in part to "sit-ins" by
MuSlims in dining areas which
white prisoners considered
theirs by tradition. He said
the Muslims aggressively sought
to create incidents.
No Segregation
Mr.. Heinze said there is no
racial segregation at the prison,
but added it works out that way
in the dining hall where pris-
Ioners are allowed 10 select their
own tables an meal compan-
ions.
"The Muslims definitely do
not have the support of the
majority of the Negroes here.
AS a matter of fact. many &C
lively oppose the movement"
the warden said.
MuslimS are members of a
Negro nationalist movement
which claims its race will be
the only one to survive. It
breaches segregation from
whites.

ALBANY, N. Y, Mar. 4 (AP) .
New York's turreted old ex-
ecutive mansion, from which
Gov. and Mrs. Nelson A. Rookie
feller fled minutes ahead of a
raging fire, was a burned-out
hulk today, and there was some
doubt it ever would house an
other New York Governor.
The Rockefellers, hastily clad,
crawled through a window of
their second-floor living quar-
ters early yesterday onto the
roof Of a breakfast room, then
down a fireman's ladder.
The fire destroyed an ir-
replaceable collection of paint
ings left in the mansion by
former Gov. w. Averell Harri-
man and extensively damaged
a collection of modern art that
belonged to Mr.. Rockefeller.
The Governor estimated the
loss would total 100000, in
cluding $35O,0Oo worth of art
objects. His staff, however,
emphasized that the Cover
nor's estimate was a "spur OF
the moment" matter and could
not be regarded as official.
Many questions concerning
the fire remained unanswered
How did it start, who discov-
cred the fire, who rang the
alarm, what was the total dam
age, will the building be re.
stored?

alarm.

nent danger of reoccurrence Of
mine explosion from gas and or
dust"
Officials said they did not
know the cause Of the explosion
that killed the men Thursday
night. Miners reported that gas
had seeped into the sloped shaft
and that several small fires had
flared since it was opened about
q week ago.
Miners attributed the fires to
:'green devil" gas seeping from
an abandoned section. The fires
were put out before they reached
dangerous quantities of coal
dust. ..+-
Insurance Coverage
The burned and mutilated
bodies of the miners were
brought out of the shaft yeSter-
day. Weeping wives and chill
dren of the victims had spent
the night huddled in the cold
near the shaft. Belt numbers
we're needed to identify the
bodies.
R. E. Hudson of Rosedale, a
State mine inspector who
helped bring out the bodies,
said:
"They fell where they were
working. Only a couple tried
to crawl-two of them got may
be is or 20 feet"
Miners said each Of the
victims had $4,000 to $4,000
in life insurance under a
checkoff plan. Charles Fer
guson Of Washington, United
Mine Workers safety director,
promised emergency help at
once for any families left in
need.

The UNIV said the victims
left So dependents-widowS and
children.
The victims included a
father-son team, Chester B.
Gummere, So, a master elec-
trician, and Jack Gummere,
81. The younger mans widow,
who is expecting her third
child next month, said the two
men worked together because
they were inSeparable."
Only l Mine Left
Closing of the Viking left
only one deep-shaft coal mine
operating in the Terre Haute
area. At the peak of operations
40 years ago there were 35.
The Viking, opened in 194S,
is in desolate hill country eight
miles northwest of Terre Haute
and 200 yards from the Wa
bash River. Its entire output
moved by conveyor belt to the
nearby Wabash power plant of
Public Service Co. of Indiana.
The mine employed about 200
workers. There were only A
in the shafts Thursday night,
but half of them were far
away from the point Of the
explosion and escaped without
even hearing it.
The Indiana Board Of Mines
and Mining inspects coal mines
four times a year. The Viking
was inspected on February 8,
receiving ratings Of fair" on
five points and good" on five.
Points rated fair included dust
