Two miners still are missing, trapped some 1,700 feet under- und. Seventeen others were in hospital. Many of the rescued miners were suffering from carbon mo- noxide poisoning. The gas explo- sion raced through a newly- pened shaft in the mine, trap- ping miners in a chamber filled with the noxious fumes. ; The number of men in the Yubari mine, 25 miles east of Sapporo, when the blast oc- curred was 172. Some 102 scram- bled to safety along just over a mile of shaftways to the pit heads. * The explosion wrecked the mine's system of communica- tions with the surface and no contact with the trapped min- ers was possible as rescue workers wearing gas masks dug their way toward them. Hisao Narita, 43, said smoke filled the shaft following the ex- plosion. The disaster was the second for the Hokkaido Colliery and Steamship Company in_ five years. In February, 1962, 42 miners died in a similar explo- sion at the Yubari mine. More than 500 persons, mostly families and. relatives of the trapped men,. bundled against the severe cold as they waited to learn the fate of the missing men. Heavy snow fell : throughout the night and other miners were busy on the pithead where the rescued and dead were brought out, keeping the area clear of drifts. Snowplows worked constantly to keep the mile of road clear from the pithead to the mine hospital.

Top Muslim Marked For Death CHICAGO (AP)--Police inten- sified security measures over a six-block area of the city's south side today amid reports that the leader of the Black Muslims was marked for death. Detectives were posted at air- ports, bus depots and train sta- tions looking for six men_re- ported en route to murder Eli- jah Muhammad. Squad cars cruised the area of Muhammad's 18-room mansion. The six blocks between the hom and the Black Muslims' mosque of Islam No. 2 were kept clear of suspicious persons. The soft-spoken Muhammad expressed no fear of reprisal and denied that the Black Mus- lims were involved in the fatal shooting of Malcolm X Sunday in New York City. New York investigators have speculated that the slaying of Malcolm may have resulted from the 15-month feud between the leaders of the Muslims and Malcolm's splinter black na- tionalist group, the Afro-Ameri- can Union, Chicago police verified reports that six followers of Malcolm had departed on separate mis- sions to avenge Malcolm's death. Police said they were taking every precaution to protect Chi- cago Black Muslims from any harm. "We don't want anything to take place here like what 'oc- curred in New York," said Capt. William Duffy, commander of the police intelligence unit. Muhammad said the police weren't requested. Black Mus- lims do not approve of carrying weapons, he said. The Black Muslims claim the Negro race is the superior race and call the whites "white dev- ils." Muhammad preaches. sep- aration of races, and in his teaching abhors integration. Malcolm X broke with the Black Muslims when he was the heir-apparent to Muhammad. He left shortly after the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President Kennedy when he said "the chickens have finally come ho to roost." "Malcolm was a victim of his own preachings," Muhammad OTTAWA (CP)--Chief Justice Frederic Dorion ruled today against inquiring into whether information was leaked to mem- bers of Parliament or the press about an RCMP investigation into allegations of attempted bribery and political pressure. It was not immediately clear how the decision affected appli- cations to call as witnesses las and Conservative MP Erik Nielsen who first raised the allegations publicly in the Com- mons last Nov, 23. Chief Justice Dorion said he will advise Prime Minister Pearson today of his decision. He said if he is to inquire into the leak the government would have to revise the terms of ref- erence for his inquiry provided in a Nov. 27 cabinet order or institute another inquiry. "In any case, it is up to the government to make the deci- sion and I will so advise Prime Minister Pearson today," he said. The chief justice noted that on last. Nov. 26 Finance Minis- ter Gordon said in the Com- mons that the Dorion inquiry's original terms of reference made no reference as to how confidential RCMP reports came into the hands of Mr. Nielsen or the press. Subsequently, the commis- sion's terms. of reference were revised by the cabinet but, still made no mention of the "grave _ mentioned by Mr. Gor- Chief Justice Dorion said he therefore concludes he is not permitted under his terms of reference to investigate this matter. Ross Drouin, Progressive Conservative party counsel, made the application for Mr. Douglas to be called because, he said, Jules Deschenes, federal government counsel, had asked earlier that Mr. Nielsen be ex- amined about his sources of in- formation in the case.

At the same time, Norman Mathews, RCMP counsel, in- formed the inquiry that Attor- ney-General Robert Bonner of British Columbia "is practically at war with us" over delays in RCMP questioning of Denis about the immigration case of American, millionaire Harry Stonehill. SENDS RCMP Mr. Mathews said Mr, Bonner sent an RCMP officer here from B.C. with instructions to inter- view Denis regarding "'possible criminal charges of forgery" with respect to "a certain let- ter." He did not identify the letter nor did he suggest that Denis had written it. Premier Bennett has de- scribed as "phoney" a letter signed W. A. C. Bennett sent to Hal Dornan, an aide in the prime minister's office, appar- ently about the Stonehill case. A RCMP Insp. J. P. Drapeau, taking the stand for the third day, said he interviewed Liberal MP Guy Rouleau Sept. 17. "T thought he (Rouleau) was lying to me from the start," Insp. Drapeau said. HANDS SHAKING He said Mr. Rouleau's eyes were red and his hands were shaking but his voice was firm. He had taken for granted that the MP had been sick. The inspector said he had been told by Raymond Rouleau, the MP's brother, that he had been tipped off by Guy to expect RCMP questioning in the Ri- vard affair. However, when he met Guy Rouleau the MP had told him he thought he was being ques- tioned about parking tickets. Andre Vilieneuve, counsel for the MP, suggested Insp. Dra- peau had been hasty in his judgment of Mr, Rouleau. The witness said an investi- gator has to keep an open mind. But if he was told something different from' what others had told 'him "it leaves a question FIERY REVENGE BEGI MUSLIM HO BOMB INDP Leader, Neilson Sought As Witnesses NEW YORK (AP)--A Harlem fire, believed to be arson re- venge for the slaying of Mal- colm X, gutted today the Black Muslim mosque from which he had been ousted as minister, Several witnesses, including a policeman stationed outside as a precaution against retaliation, reported hearing one or more blasts before flames shot into the sky just after 2 a.m. On the roof of a five-storey building next door, investigators found a five-gallon tin which had contained kerosene or gas- that home-made firebombs or the fuel could have been tossed from the roof through the barred windows of the mosque meeting hall.

However, Mr. Bonner, had de- manded last: Thursday that the interview take place at once. Denis hadn't been accessible Friday and had been called as the first witness before the re- sumed inquiry: today.

OUSTED, STILL IN SERVICE SAIGON (CP)--L4.-Gen. Ngu- yen Khanh, ousted from com- mand of South Viet Nam's armed forces, has accepted an appointment as a roving am- bassador "with honor and dig- nity," Premier Dr. Phan Huy Quat said today. Dr.. Quat said Khanh would be sent first to neighboring Asian countries, and from there to countries allied with South Viet Nam, including some Eu- ropean nations. Quat revealed Khanh's ac- ceptance of the ambassador- ship at a cocktail party here. The decree naming him to the post was broadcast by Chief of State Phan Khac Suu earlier to- day. Maj.-Gen. Nguyen Van Thieu, deputy premier and defence minister, said Khanh accepted the post "like a man," Thieu, who attended the same party, said Khanh was free to m.ve around the country while -he remains in South Viet Nam, but that he will leave in two or three days. TO SPEAK TO UN He said Khanh's first assign- iment would be to speak before the United Nations General As- sembly and present proof of North Vietnamese infiltration of men and supplies into South Viet Nam. Khanh's fellow generals want him out of the country as soon as possible to pxevent him from putting into actipn any plan he might have to regain power. Former Strongman Says: 'Representative To UN' DALAT (AP) Lt.-Gen, Hguyen Khanh, ousted as leader] of South Viet Nam, said today he is going to the United States in a few days as his country's representative to the United Nations. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, he said: "I am sad to be leaving my troops in wartime, especially at this critical period. But I shall The armed forces council de- posed Khanh during the weekend from command of the armed forces, apparently ending his 124%-month tenure as the coun- try's strongman. Khanh tried to rally support, then flew to Dalat, the mountain resort 140 miles northeast of Sai- gon, and there were indications fought on the diplomatic and |political fronts as well as the military. I am now to be a rov- ing ambassador. "My first mission to the UN is to present the evidence of Viet Cong infiltration we seized off the Communist ship on our coast last week." The former commander - in- chief of the armed forces was in civilian sports clothes with his family at a mansion once continue serving my country in other ways. This war must be used as President Ngo Dinh Diem's country palace, Khanh Viet Ambassador he was balking at leaving the country. Three members of the armed forces council visited Khanh in Dalat Monday and apparently i obtained his agreement to go. The official Viet Nam press agency announced that chief of ; state Phanh Khac Suu _ had. signed the decree naming Khanh a roving ambassador. Suu appointed Maj.-Gen, Tran Van (Little) Minh temporary armed forces chief Sunday. The appointment was countersigned by Premier Phan Huy Quat,and endorsed by the national secur- ity council. Khanh came to power in a bloodless coup last January that toppled Gen. Duong Van (Big) Minh, one of the leaders of the coup that toppled the late pres- ident Ngo Dinh Diem in Novem- | ber, 1963. . Little Minh also was one of the original plotters.of the coup that toppled the Diem regime. The ambassadorial appoint- ment put Khanh in the same category as Big Minh, who has been travelling abroad since late last year as a roving ambassa- dor at Khanh's orders.
