52 Violations Reported By U. S. Mine Inspector By United Press WASHINGTON, March 29. A Federal inspector reported today that he found 52 safety violations in the Centralia, 111., coal mine a week before the explosion which claimed 111 lives. The report was made by Frank Perz, inspector for the Bureau of Mines, who made an inspection tour of the Centralia mine during the week of March 17-20.

In a previous inspection of the same mine last November, Perz found 165 violations of Federal and state safety codes. At neither time did he find that the mine was in imminent danger.

For Home Sites A long-range program for uniform restrictions and comprehensive planning of a suburban residential district east of Harrisburg will be recommended soon to a committee of land-owners, civic leaders, architects and residents of that area. A permanent committee to discuss such a program was organized Thursday at a meeting in the Lower Paxton Township Consolidated School. Vernon M. Wood, realty broker and developer, was chosen chairman. Mrs.

John L. Garland was made secretary. Other members are Clayton J. Lappley, John T. Bonitz, Park C.

Sheesley, George Rothman, Ehrman B. Mitchell and Hyles Hagy. Much of the discussion at the meeting was devoted to restrictions covering most developments and vacant land in the territory likely to be developed into homesites within the next 10 years or so, Wood said. Emphasis also was laid upon beautification, planning, wide streets and highways, and tree-planting. Wood presented a resume of his observations in planning.

During an open forum, Lappley related plans for laying out his farm along the Devonshire road. He expressed the opinion that a suburban homesite should contain at least one-half acre, adding that the plot should be larger in frontage than depth. He contended a plot 150 feet square is ideal for the average single home. Lappley also said he had provided a seven-acre plot in his development for recreational use by children.

The Democratic party plans to run its campaign in the coming elections without the support of either Henry A. Wallace or Sen. Claude Pepper, according to Gael Sulli van, executive director of the Dem ocratic National Committee. In a radio broadcast last night Sullivan said he hoped President Truman would run for reelection, and added: "In the coming elections, we will not seek the help of Mr. Wallace or Senator Pepper because their views are divergent to the Presi dent's."

Culbertson by Ely Culbertson away all of his spades and one dia mond to hold the heart suit intact The diamond finesse lost and another heart lead by West was fatal to the declarer. Admittedly, North had reason to feel that his partner could make three no trump after he had responded with two no trump to the original club bid. This, however, wos only a cursory view. South had passed originally, hence his jump to two no trump meant no more than that he was trying to show that his hand was very good for a passed hand.

North might well have reasoned that any normal holding in the South hand that would produce three no trump safely would, at the same time, produce excellent play for game in the club suit. Shifting to the South hand, it obvious enougn mat. oouin might have bid one spade instead of jumping in no trump. A player who has passed with such a hand, however, it always tempted, and quite naturally so, to make a bid that will be more encouraging than mere one-over one. South's hand was absolutely balanced in distribution; it was North who had a pattern that so strongly favored a suit contract, even thoiigh it was a minor suit forward.

Demand for cotton and grains re flected trade belief that selling had been overdone on President Truman's request to lower prices to combat inflation. First reaction the President's statement earlier in the week was a rush to sell on the theory that Government purchases for overseas shipment now would be curtailed.
