Postage in Seize On Disasters TOKYO -- Opposition patties turned the disastrous coal mine explosion and triple train crash that took more than 600 lives into a major campaign issue today with charges of neglect. Socialist and Democratic So- cialist politicians seized on the double disaster in their current general elect on campaign, claiming more safety precau- tions should be taken in the mines and on the railways, The election is 10 days away. The leftists held Premier Ha- yato Ikeda's conservative gov- ernment responsible for the tra-| gedies, charging the accidents resulted from the government's "one-sided policy to protect mo- nopolistic capitalist classes' at the expense of workers' lives. The coal dust explosion in the mine at Omuta, on the south- ern island of Kyushu, killed 449|°" miners, injured about 450 and left seven unaccounted for, the Mitsui Mining Company said, Police said, however, they had counted 452 bodies.
