CUNNINGHAM United Press Staff Correspondent WEHOFEN near Duisburg, March 27 (Delayed). —German machinegunners raked the crowded entrances of an abandoned coal mine to prevent ‘the surrender of 70M of their own civilians. The refugees had huddled inside without food and water for four days and nights. These civilians, mostly old men, women and children who had been trapped in a no-man’'s land, still were living in the mine today. At least 10.of their number had been killed: Some were dying.
