Three Youths Survive Long Ordeal In Mine PITTSBURGH (VPH-Fnr th , f .h. Pi..h.,..k . .... rest of the summer Danny O'Kain, Bureau of Mine and his aides. Bobby Abbott ' Samuel Cortis, Everett Turner. go swimming Billy Burke and will ride their bikes, or play baseball. "No more mines for us," said 14-year-old Bobby. "We had enough of that for the rest of our I lives." Burke, 13, looked up from the comic pages to nod agreement. "We sure did," he said. The boys share a room in St. Clair Memorial Hospital. They communicate frequently by tele phone with O'Kain, 13, who is in another room. The boys are re covering from their ordeal of be ing lost for two days in an aban doned coal mine in nearby Castle Shannon. The youngsters appear more in terested in making plans for the summer than they do in discuss ing their miraculous rescue. ( Jlrs. Abbott told her son: Guardian Angel "There must have been a gold en angel on each of your shoul ders to save you from that mine." Bobby and Danny may be re leased from the hospital todav. But Billy will be detained until an X-ray study is made of his chest. He complained of pains aft er stumbling in the gas-filled mine. The boys had been in the No. 2 mine of the old Castle Shannon Coal Co. twice before and thought they were familiar with the laby rinths. "We had a map of the main tunnel," Bobby said. "We felt sure we knew our way around." J. A. Blackman, deputy state secretary of mines, said the open entrance to the mine will be walled up with cement and filled in by a bulldozer. A team of mine rescue experts, refreshed after a daylong rest following an ordeal which began Thursday night and ended at 5 p.m., Saturday, were still baffled by the discovery. Searchers Showed Strain Thomas J. McDonald, supervis Jim Hutchens and Jennings Bree don showed the effects of their grueling tasks. All were at the point of exhaustion when the boys were found. Despite their weariness, the rescuers planned to continue their search because of the belief of the parents that the boys were in the mine. The rescuers feared the worst. The mine, which has been shut down since 1938, was known to be filled with "black damp," a deadly combination of methane gas and carbon dioxide. And there were other hazards. The tunnels are honeycombed with rockfalls and pools of stagnant water. At first, rescuers doubted the boys had gone into the mine. But Mrs. Florence Burke, widowed mother of Billy, insisted they had gone underground. The boys bi cycles were found outside the mine entrance. Told of Drawing David Butler, 10, deepened her fears when he told Castle Shan non firemen Abbott had shown him a drawing of the mine. The diagram, remarkably accurate, was scribbled on the back of a bank deposit slip. Police found the crumpled dia gram in the Abbott home and searched the area described in the map but to no avail. Later, the explanation was learned. "We took a wrong turn and got lost, OKain said. The boys wandered around derground, lighting their way with generator - powered lights taken from the bicycles. But when Burke injured his ribs, they de cided to stay in a small room. It was lucky they did. Here they were picked out by the light flashed by Turner, Hutchens and Breedon. "Why they're alive, I don't know," said Cortis. "But let's give credit to God."

HUTNYAN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) The na tion is producing millionaires at the fastest clip since the get-rich-quick era of the late 1920s. . The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in its latest tabulation on the subject reported today that 398 persons filed returns show ing $1 million or more income in 1961. This was the largest number since 1929 when the stock market was at the peak of its stratos pheric binge, and the total of SI million taxpayers hit a record 51.1. Ninety-two new faces were added to this select group in 1961, the biggest increase since 1928 when the number spurted by 221. The IRS statistics show only those who reported earning $1 mil lion or more during the 1961 tax year. Authorities on the distribu tion of U. S. wealth estimate there are a lot more Americans who are worth $1 million today. Some have placed the number as high as 100,000. Government tax reports, of course, mention no names. But from these studies, It is possible to get a statistical profile of the average $1 million taxpayer in 1961. It would look something like this: The average top-bracket taxpay er had an adjusted gross income of about S2 million. He paid about $800,000 in income taxes. Most likely he was on a pay roll, although his income from salaries was a drop in the bucket to him, anyway. The biggest chunk of his earnings came from profits on the sale of such items as stocks and property. Moro, who originated the Appaloo sa creed Registry in 1938.

Men's most colorful rider Wal- Court Ruling Hints At New Sensations In Profumo Affair LONDON (UPI) A court ruling hinted today at new sensations in the Profumo case with the revela tion of a mysterious tape record ing made by play girl Christine Keeler, The possibility of further dis closures in tlie scandal that forced the resignation of War Minister John Profumo arose when a court granted an appeal to a Negro jazz musician who ; was convicted of beating up Christine. The appeal was based oil the argument that there was j "important new evidence" in the tape recording Christine made : when she was "high as a kite." Two policemen were sent by the court to take possession of the tape recording made by I Christine whose relationship with: Profumo had threatened to topple the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan. Macmillan met today with op position Labor party leaders in the face of the new development. Tonight he meets with the 1922 Committee, a powerful group of members of Parliament from his own party, which is expected to challenge his leadership.
