Br the Associated Press. COAL GLE May 29— Mother Earth today was fast giving up the dead of the Carolina Coal Co.’s mine disaster. Held deep within the @epths of the mine for three days by the debris from the fatal ex- plosions of Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, today the rescue crews had brought to the face 32 bodies, there to be identified and carried away by the hands of those who had been left to sorrow. Although the bodies in many cases had Dbeen maimed and , partially | burned, identification in most cases was possible and of the 32 the identity of only two remained in doubt. Rescue crews, able to penetrate more freely into the extreme recesses of the deep pit as the air was purified, were working in the last 200 feet of the main shaft, where the bodies of other miners were believed to ne covered by the mass of slate shale and fallen timbers. If the work con- tinued at the pace of the past 12 hours it was believed by those in churge that most of the bodies would be_recovered by late today. Death in practically every case, it was ascertained, had been caused by the fatal gases incident to the ex- plosion. although a number of the maimed bodies were silent witny to the fury of the life-destroying blasts which occurred deep within the mine. The first burials of the disaster were set for this afternoon, with six of the victims to be placed to eternal rest in the little cemetery scarcely 200 vards from the cavernous pit where thev met death. Bodies of other victims have been shipped to surrounding cities and some to other States. 115 Left in Want. As relief workers continued their efforts to bring the bodies to the sur. face, agencies of the Nation.

Gunter, chairman of the Lee County Chapter of the Red Cross, con- ferred early today on plans for re- lieving the living victims of the dis- aster. Unofficial estimates by mine officials placed the number of such victims at 40 widows and 75 children. Kor the most part, they said, these familles were entirely dependent upon the earnings of their fathers, sons and brothers, who died in the mine. Steps to insure their support will be taken immediately, it was said.

C. MEMORIAL Twelve of “Singing Towers” in America Now, Expert W. G. Rice Finds. Twelve carilions of the first order already exist in America, according to William Gorham Rice of Albany. earillon enthusiast and expert, who is scheduled to deliver an address on the occasion of the forthcoming carillon congress to be held at Boisle-duc, Holland, next August. This congress will be featured by competitive play ing by the world's leading carilloneurs. America is Ifkely to witness in the near. future the construction of many more carillons, according to Mr. Rice. Among the cities that already either possess or are oon to have these “singing towers” are New York, Birmingham, Detroit, Plainfield, N. J. Andover, .Cohasset and Gloucester. Mass.; Morristown. N. J., and Ottawa and Simcoe, Canada. Installation of a carillon in Wash- ington, possibly as a war memortal, has been enthusfastically urged by carillon lovers and eventually visitors from all over the nation may enjoy this added attraction to the beauty and artistry of the National Capital. Summer Recitals. Those seeking relaxation along the Massachusetts seaboard this Summer will be particularly fortunate. Ka- miel Lefevre, one of Belgium's most distinguished carilloneurs, twill again give recitals on the 43 chromatic bells in St. Stephen’s ‘Sing- m_iz Tower at Cohasset, Mase. These will occur Sunday noon and each Tires- day evening in June and Julv. Mr. !chevra who is assistant carilloneur of Malines, Belgium. will also glve re- citals from the singing tower of Our Lady of Good Voyage, Gloucester, each Wednesday evening during June arid July. At Morristown, Frederick Rocke will perform on the carillon of St. Peter's Wednesday evenings during .June while T. Percival Price will be heard on Sundays on the carillon at the Metropolitan Church Singing Tower at Toronot, Toronto, Caneda. Messrs. Rocke and Price are at present the only professional American caril. loneurs. It is thought that many Euro. pean travelers will make it a point to attend the carillon congress this Sum- | mer.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Behind the instruction of Président Coolidge to the Army and Navy De- partments t6 make a survey as to further economies lies a story of con- fict between the budget director and the Secretary of War. It s the first serious difference between the advice of a cabinet officer and that of the budget diréctor, the one looking at it from the viewpoint of what ezperts consider military efficiency and the other regarding it as a question of economy. The present Secrstary of War, John W. Weeks, threaténed resignation it his viewpoint was not accepted. -Mr. Coolldge acceded to Mr. Weeks' wishes and the itéms in the proposed estimate last Winter were retained. Police | Now Mr. Wee VAR haer. rotRee b Tkt Now Mr. Weeks is in ill health and 2268 Cathedral avenue northwest, at probably will resign before another budget is sent to Congress. The new Secretary of War, whoever he is, will have to fall in with the President's economy program, for the same issue is now involved in the requested sur- vey for furiher economics. Weeks Had Support. But hehind Mr. Weeks was the general sta cluding Gen. Pershing, all of whom thought the cuts in the military establishment were beyond public ‘safety in this era’ of interna- {tional uncertainty. The War Depart- jment has looked askance at the Presi dent’s conomy program, fearing that it might be carried too far. Mr. Weeks did not carry his controversy to the public prints, but waged it in private. “If the budget dlrector's viewpoint is to be accepted on what constitutes an efficient Army,” Mr. Weeks is re- ported to have sald to the President, “then you do not need a Secretary of War.” The general staff is, of course. re- strained from differing with the Presi- dent or the budget director in the press. There is alsa a strict rule by which all officials of the Government are bound, namely, t they must not seek higher appropriations when testifying before congressional com mittees, though they are permitted to answer questions from which legis. lators may draw their own opinions as to whether the budgets proposed are safe frqm the viewpoint of na- tional defense. Coolidge for Preparedness. Mr. Coolidge not represented as differing with the argument of those who think the objective should be efficient national defense, but he has been insistent that economy should bé practiced wherever possible and he naturally leans an the judgment of the budget director. Gen. Lord, who knows something about Army mat- ters and also is interested in ernment economy. It will be several months before the whole thing will be threshed out in Congress, but already the order to look for further cuts is causing un- easiness in the Army particularly. The Army incidentally has sought to do everything in its power to in- terést pubilc opinion in national de- fense and hopes that the youths who g0 to the training camps this Sum- meér will come back impressed with the necessities of a citizen army. For without the oficers and personnel of the regalar Army an expanded mili- tary establishment in time of war would be of doubtful value. Army in Public Eye. The significant debate between the Army and the White House on the ubject of a defense test for Armi- stice day is but one of the outcrop- |pings of the Army’s desire to im- {press on the public the Importance of studying national defense, and though Mr. Coolidge has given per- mission for such a test to be held on the 4th of July, the Army officers think the purpoxe is more or less defeated because there isn't time enough to make arrangements for a mobilization on that day. The Army is fighting for a peace time strength that can be converted into war-time strength quickly. The economy champlons are reverting to the ideas of pre-war days, namely, that with no war in the offing the expenditure of funds for future war might well be lessened. (Copyright. 1925.)
