urrender Terms Arranoe
LONDON—CP — British and French parachute troops leaped on Egypt
yesterday. The Allies announced last night they had seized control of Port Said,
big Mediterranean terminal of the Suez Canal. The Allied headquarters of Cyprus
first said the Egyptian garrison of Port Said surrendered.
Headquarters then quickly followed this by saying surrender terms had been
refused—apparently by the Egyptians. The apparent British-French triumph after
12 hours of violent fighting was chilled by a Soviet threat of military intervention.
The Soviet move was made by Premier Bulganin in: (1) An appeal to President Eisenhower for joint U.S.-Sovict military action under thc United Nations in
Egypt. (2)A threat to use military force against Britain and France if they carry
on in Egypt.   A similar threat was made to Israel.

SPRINGHILL, N.S. (CP)-Cum-
hcrland Ni*j. 4 mine, ravaged by
•explosion and permeated by poisonous gas four days ago, will be
sealed off for two months as a
safety precaution.
The sad decision to block the
pit and throttle Hs air passages
was made Monday by Harold Gordon, coal chief of the Dominion
Steel and Coal Corporation, a few-
hours after a stretcher bearing
the 88th and last survivor of
Thursday's underground blast was
taken to a nearby emergency hospital.
Somewhere in the mine's spider-
work of clammy passageways are
the bodies nf 24 men.  ■
CAN'T RISK OTHER LIVES
Visibly shaken as he made the
announcement, the usually abrupt
former draegerman said the lives
of other miners could not be e.iop-_
ardized to bring out the dead. The"
mine was being sealed to eliminate danger of fire and explosion.
Further attempts In search the
of air  would  lend  to   tan
smouldering  fires  inlo  explosion
proportions.
In Montreal, Lionel A. Forsyth.
Dosco president, said an inquiry
inlo the Springhill disaster will bc

FINAL TALLY
This is the final tally on casault-
les and rescued, announced officially this morning:
Dead (bodies recovered) 13;
known to be dead (bodies underground) 24; injured 7; rescued 88.
Decision to seal lhe mine was
the end of one of the most dramatic chapters in Canadian mining
history — a chapter filled with
death, heroism, failh, sadness and
joy.
Eleven were killed by the first
shattering explosion. Most of them
were scorched hy thp blast itself
