Drilling resumed immediately. Already, unsuccessful efforts on the two previous 12-inch hdies— the first of which had to be abandoned because it was too close to the men and caused secondary rock falls—i have resulted in the loss of more than 40 hours. The sec ond 12-inch hole apparently missed the men by a few feet. They are in an underground pocket about 14 feet long and 9 feet wide. Plans for the final rescue ef fort called for drilling a 12-inch hole and then reaming it to 17 inches and, if necessary, de pending on the condition of the men and other factors, to 24. It was felt the 17-inch hole probably would be suffi cient if two specially designed ! survival capsules were used. t Rescue Capsules Set .The capsules are built of rolled steel so they can move 1 smoothly up and down the hole | |without snagging. At the bot tom they have an opening with a?metal plate that folds up ward. similar to a trapdoor in ah old-fashioned mousetrap.| The plate falls back once the man climbs in and he will be able to stand on it. A winch will pull the capsule to the surface. -Rock and earth between the 1 j-inch shaft that went astray ' and the pocket where the men |afe located was apparently too dense or the radioactive cobalt too weak for a sufficiently strong reading. Mr. Fellin’s voice could be heard clearly by some 200 per sons gathered behind restrain ing ropes 100 feet from the rescue area as he methodically read off figures from the Gei ger counter. Authorities asked, when they lowered the Geiger counter, if either of the men knew how to use one. •'Yeh, I used one in the Gadsden Mayor Terms 4 Stars i Rabble-Rousers GADSDEN, Ala., Aug. 23 (AP>.—Mayor Leslie Gilliland angrily accused four visiting movie stars today of rabble rOusing tactics in racially trou bled Gadsden, and promised to jail them if they violated the law. One of them, Marlon Brando, had said previously they would leave town tonight. ; -Another, Paul Newman, de nied any attempt to cause trouble and said in fact that hb and his colleagues had talked Gadsden Negroes out of staging another in a long series of street demonstrations. ’ The visiting Hollywood celeb rities had announced plans to seek conferences with city of ficials and industrial leaders Jn what they described as an attempt to establish communi cations between the races in this industrial city, where hun dreds were arrested in recent protest marches .Mayor Gilliland accused the jnovie stars of making the trip to Gadsden for publicity and added: “All of the trouble we've had in Gadsden has been caused by outside rabble-rousers com ing in here and using our Ne gro people for their own gain." Army,” said Mr. Throne. “Then you teach Davy (Mr. Fellin),” said Gordon Smith, Deputy Secretary of Mines. Despite the failure, Mr. Fellin and Mr. Throne continued to keep their spirits high with a stream of humor to rescuers above, boosting their morale, i examples: “Hey, have I got any parking tickets?” asked Mr. Throne, nor will take care of them,” . “If you have any, the Gover replied a Hazleton television repairman. "That’s good,” said Mr. Throne. "Last month I got 10.” Asks What Day "What day Is this?” Mr. Fellin asked George Gallagher, a State mine inspector. “Thursday," replied Mr. Gal lagher, then after a pause added, “1963.” Roaring with laughter. Mr. Fellin shot back: “We haven’t oeen down here a year yet, have we?” Mr. Bova has not been heard from at all by rescuers at the surface. But Mr. Fellin re ported he heard him Tuesday night and that he was in a | weakened condition. Some i mine experts in the rescue party questioned Mr. Fellin’s report. Mr. Bova’s father, Joseph, who lives in Shenandoah, has been taking it very hard. Rela tives reported thkt he cries through the day and doesn’t ; want to eat. Joseph Bova went through a similar ordeal in 1928 when another son, Peter, was trapped in a mine for seven days be fore being rescued. New Envoy to U. S.

The sounds recorded are like . those that a physician would hear with a stethoscope. i A special microphone is held [to the chest at one point for , a few seconds and then moved |to a second point. Recordings ;are made for 13 seconds at Jcach position. One Minute Per Child i The entire procedure per child takes only a minute. The i recording takes less than half i that time to listen to. Thus , a physician can review 120 hearts a minute—in his lei sure, at the flip of a tape ma chine switch. Dr. Martin Levy said as he supervised the final taping to- I day that eventually a system I may be devised to analyze the sounds by computer. Thus far, he said, the pro ' gram is considered experi- Staff Appointed For Schooling of Pregnant Girls The Board of Education yes terday appointed four staff workers for the rehabilitation program that starts this fall for pregnant girls in District schools.

Justices Meet in Houston HOUSTON, Aug. 23 (AP).— Eight of the nine justices of the United States sth Circuit Court of Appeals held an un announced conference in Hous ton yesterday. The only member of the court not in attendance was Justice Ben Cameron, Meridian, Miss., who has charged that Chief Justice Elbert Pair Tut tle of Atlanta, Ga., has assigned practically all desegregation cases to only four members of the court. “I have no comment and that’s off the record,” said Edward Wadsworth, clerk of the court, when asked the pur pose of the special conference. The Houston Chronicle, how ever, said the judges had been summoned for a “judicial con ference to discuss matters of policy.” It said the justices were discussing the advisability of issuing a public statement on Justice Cameron’s charges. The newspaper said a source close to the court said Justice Cameron, 73, was unable to at tend because of illness. Senator Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, has indicated his Senate Judiciary Committee will investigate Justice Cam eron's charges. Engravers Union Proposes Merger MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Aug. 23 (AP).—The International Pho toengravers Union (AFL-CIO) convention approved yesterday by an overwhelming vote a proposed merger with the Amal gamated Lithographers of American, an independent i union. The lithographers union will vote on the matter at its con vention in Montreal-September 9. If it is approved, the en tire memberships of both unions will then vote.

Delaware Suit to Test School Bible Ruling WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 23 (AP). The American Civil Liberties Union says it plans to file a court challenge next week of a ruling on Bible reading in Delaware public schools. Attorney General David P. Buckson of Delaware has ruled that Bible reading can be re quired in public schools despite the recent United States Su preme Court ruling, which he said does not apply to Dela ware. mental. Some work was done in 1959 and 1960 In Chicago with larger equipment in a mobile van. But the newer equipment is very portable—basically Just a "contact” microphone and pre amplifier hitched to a standard Ampex portable recorder. Findings to Be Compared At Junior Village, the city's home for children, several doc tors also listened to the hearts. In this experiment, their first hand observations will be com pared with those of doctors listening to the tapes later. 1 The study is being run by Dr. Martin Levy, a physician with the Heart Disease Con trol Program of the United States Public Health Service. He said similar experimental programs with the newer equipment will be financed by PHS this fall. The cost per heart of the study program is now down below one dollar, including the reading of the tape by a physi cian. One technician is needed to run the tape recorder and other workers are required to handle the children. ' t '<y * f ♦ tl I 1 vM/x * i\ IUI/1/7 Wlrr// 0 / \.
