We've been told that the
mine was a model mine in the
West" Mr.. Diamanti said.
Every safety precaution was
taken. There hasn't been a
trace of gas in the area for
many, many months.
II just can't explain it."
Victims Were Drilling
Mr.. Diamanti said the nine
victims were drilling at the
face Of the west shaft and
theorized a drill bit may have
exposed and ignited a pocket OF
methane.
Explosives were not being
used.
The bodies of the victims, al
from the Helper area, were
brought to the surface under
the glare of floodlights last
night. Company officials sale

other consumer goods contin-
ued at a brisk rate. according
to the Federal Reserve Board.
The boards index of in.
dustrial production inched ur
from 1855 to 1853.

The 1863 figure compare:
with a base of 100 as the 1857

9 Coal Miners Killed
In Explosion in Utah

HELPER, Utah, Dec. IT
(AP) Nine coal miners were
killed and another injured
yesterday in an explosion in
what was described as a mod
ell mine in the West"
The blast occurred at the
face of one of two shafts which
branch out from the end of a
2.800-foot tunnel into the side
of a mountain near this Gen.
trail Utah community.
They never knew what hit
them" said James Diamati,
mine co-owner. "They fell
right where they were working.
Tremendous Blast
1T was a tremendous, terrific
explosion" he added. They
must have hit a pocket of gas. "
State Industrial Commission
officials at the scene theorized
the blast was caused by either
coal dust or methane gas. Mine
officials have opened an inveS-
tigation.
1t was the second major
mine disaster in Utah this
year. Eighteen men were killed
August 81 in a potash mine
explosion at Moab. about 100
miles south of Helper.
Jesus Nunez, As, was near
the entrance to the west shaft,
about 1000 feet from the
explosion, yesterday.
! The blast hurled him 200
feet, broke his arm and cut
him badly.
"I know I was lucky" he
said.
Nine men were working in
the east shaft and said they
didn't hear the explosion.
Heavy, white smoke and dust
poured out of the mouth of the
mine for an hour after the
blast.

Aid Promised
Victims of
Dam Break

Los ANGELES, Dec. II
(AP)-Victims Of the Baldwin
Hills reservoir disaster got a
word Of encouragement-and a
promise Of money-from Los
Angeles Mayor Samuel Yorty.
Its obvious these victims
are not responsible for the
damage" the mayor said yes
terday. They will be compen-
Sated and we viii help them
file claims against the Depart
ment Of Water and Power and
the city"
Damage from Saturdays
devastating flood could run to
more than $40 million, officials
estimate.
Mayor Yorty's promise of
help came as residents and
businessmen picked through
the mud-Slick rubble below the
now-empty reservoir.
Nearly 300 million gallons of
water roared through a break
in the earth-filled structure
Saturday afternoon, crashing
down on the homes below and
sweeping at least three persons
to their death.
Sixty-four homes were de-
stroyed, and 80 homes and IS
apartment buildings received
major damage. At least 81 per-
sons were injured.
AS investigators probed the
cause of the break, a State Wa
ter Resources Department re-
port revealed that normal con-
ditions we're found" when the
dam was inspected last April 8.
However, Department of
Water and Power officials said
that water leaking through a
huge crack in the bottom of the
reservoir caused the earthen
dam to crumble.
Max K. Socha. chief engineer
for the department, said he
would have known If the crack
had been there for any length
of time.

bargaining for extra money.
The system also can be used as
a threat to teachers to express
only the views of their superb
orS.
Taken Under Amusement
Mr.. Burke said a recent
study by the Montgomery
County Education Association
showed that the majority of
teachers do not feel the career
recognition program is an asset
to the profession. The board
took the request under advise
ment.
In other business, board
members approved the transfer
Of Split in various equipment
and salary budget accounts
into its teacher salary category.
This. along with $1,000 re-
naming in the category, will
make possible the hiring of 10
to IA additional teachers.
The board also agreed to ask
the county council for permits
sion to use $4,000 in unexpend-
ed funds to plan an addition to
Kemp Mill Junior High School
now on the drawing board.
School officials want to use
the 100000 addition for teach
ing mentally retarded children.
The council approved 100000

high, and construction funds
