(UPI) Con fusion, fragmentary evidence and official silence today deepened the mystery surrounding the Satur day night explosion of more than a ton of dynamite here that may have killed as many as five per sons. Officials, however, worked un der the theory of at least four dead on the basis that the man gled remains of two automobiles and a pickup truck were found at the scene. "Each car had a driver," said Sheriff William Dalling. "They might have had one or two pas sengers." Motor block numbers were about all sheriff's officers had to identify the victim or victims, who were believed members of a ring of dynamite thieves. The fragments of human body found in the devastated area be tween two black slag heaps' 3V4 miles east of the Butte city cen ter were so tiny it was impossible to determine the number of dead. Officials conceded the possibili ty the fragments of body could be that of only one person. Also unsolved was the cause of the blast. Dalling suggested sum mer heat may have deteriorated the dynamite, which must be stored in a cool place or it be comes unstable. The blast tore three craters four to 5 feet deep and 14 to 18 feet in the explosion which rained hu man and mechanical debris over a 300-foot circle. Four poles of a 100,000-watt Montana Power Co. line built specially to serve the Anaconda Co.'s new copper concentrator here were toppled. The tremendous blast was heard over a 10-mile wide area and broke thousands of dollars worth of windows in nearby areas. The 186 cases of dynamite a little more than one ton had been stolen three or four weeks ago from the Lavelle Powder Co. .of Butte, Dalling said. Officers, tipped there was to be a sale of the stolen dynamite, had surrounded the area just before the explosion. Robeson Breaks With Soviets, Seeks Rest At E. German Spa BERLIN (UPI) Ailing Ne gro singer Paul Robeson flew Sunday to East Berlin, shortly after a British newspaper report ed he had broken with the Soviet Union. Robeson, his wife, Eslanda, and an American woman friend iden tified only as Mrs. Hurwitt made the trip from London by Polish airliner. They left the airport in a Russian-made automobile for an un known destination. No trace of the 65-year-old singer has been reported since.

Two others were sought by po lice. The victims were detective Sgt. Peter Voto, 40, and probationary patrolman Garry Tedesco, 21, who joined the force only a week ago. Bergen County Prosecutor Guy Calissi said Voto discovered one of the men was carrying a pistol when he went to the club to in vestigate a reported disturbance. The discovery apparently touched off the shootings, Calissi said. Four women and the bartender were the only persons in the club with the three men at the time, he said. Three of them were later picked up in nearby Ilackensack after police stopped them for driving without headlights. Calissi said the men jumped Voto after be found the gun. They ordered him to strip, and as he began taking off his clothes one man opened fire. Voto fell dead with bullets in the head and back. While the bartender Nicholas Kayal, 32 and the women took cpver, Tedesco ran in from the police car where he had been waiting. The men grabbed the unarmed officer, forced him to start dis robing then shot him to death. Police Chief Philip Wagenti said 10 shots were fired in the club, but it was not determined if Voto had used his weapon. Three pis tols were found at the scene. Police responding to a call for help from Tedesco before he went into the club, arrived moments after the women fled in a car. The men may have escaped on foot, authorities said; ; Texas Farm Worker Sought In Slaying VALE (UPI) A farm laborer from Laredo, Tex., was sought today by Oregon law officers aft er a volley of shots fatally wounded Juan Jiminez, 26, Sun day night. Vale Police Chief Ken James said Jiminez was found a block from the Catholic church's par rish hall here, where the shoot ing started. Witnesses said the suspect and another man came into the hall during a dance. The other man pointed out Jiminez and shouted, "shoot him! shoot him!" James said a fight started and the suspect whipped out a pistol and fired two shots at Jiminez. James said Jiminez then ran from the hall with the armed suspect and his friend in pursuit. About five more shots were fired at Jiminez and one bullet struck him in the back. He died at Holy Rosary Hos pital in Ontario. The London Sunday Telegraph said an attempt might be made to "smuggle" Robeson out of England. "The attempt may have been prompted by the fact that he may soon be well enough to speak to the press himself," the newspaper said. Quotes Reaction The Telegraph quoted Robeson today as saying to one of its cor respondents that "the Sunday Telegraph article is vicious mis representation." A Telegraph correspondent who traveled to East Berlin on the same plane as the Robesons wrote that Mrs. Robeson boasted of the "cloak and dagger" way in which she and various Polish officials helped Robeson o u t of London. . She warned him not to go near the singer but he was finally able to speak to him as "he sat like an effigy" just before landing, the correspondent wrote. Robeson said in a Moscow in terview in June, 1949, that Rus sia was "the country which I ' love more than any other." He has been 'living in Britain since his passport was restored by the ! U.S. government in 1958. In Nursing Homt He had been in a London nurs- in? home which specializes in nervous disorders tor over year. Harry Francis, a close friend! ! and assistant secretary of the I S.Viet Nam Students Hit By Gunfire SAIGON (UPI) The govern ment concentrated today on si lencing angry students who are carrying on the campaign of op position initiated by Buddhist leaders, most of whom now are in hospitals or jails. Police shot and killed a girl taking part in an anti-government demonstration Sunday and carted hundreds of other students off to jail. Some estimates placed the number under arrest at 2,000. Several youths were wounded by police gunfire and others were roughed up by riot patrol men. The crackdown began only a few hours before U.S. Ambassa dor Henry Cabot Lodge called on President Ngo Dinh Diem to pre sent his credentials and give Diem a message from President Kennedy. Talk Only Briefly Lodge and Diem chatted amia bly for about 15 minutes. News men watching the ceremony could hear only fragments of the con versation, but it appeared that neither man mentioned the explo sive Buddhist crisis. The ambassador was expected to take that matter up at his first private interview with Diem. It was not certain immediately how soon that would be. Lodge told newsmen Sunday he had been advised not to go to church because of the tense situ ation in Saigon, symbolized by frequent government roadblocks in the downtown streets. "I've also been advised not to take any long . walks," Lodge said. Anti-U.S. Feelings Grew Increasing 1 anti-Americanism has been displayed by govern ment forces- in the tense Vietna mese situation. One army captain who ordered the arrest of three American newsmen Saturday shouted, "To hell with Ameri cans!" (In Washington, high U.S. offi cials indicated there may be a sharp reduction in U.S. aid to South Viet Nam unless Diem fires the secret police officials blamed for the attacks on the Buddhists.) Grade School Students Must Sign Up Thursday All elementary students in Rose burg, grades one through six, are to report to their respective school buildings on Thursday, Aug. 29, school officials said today. This includes both new students to the community and all students who attended the Roseburg elemen tary schools last year.

Registration hours will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 to 3:30 p.m. musicians' union, said it was "sheer nonsense" to say Robeson had been ' smuggled" out of the country. "Mr. Robeson has been unwell for some months and has accept ed an invitation from the East German government to con valesce in one of the country's spas, Francis said. He said Mrs. Robeson wanted 'Secrecy about their departure" because "her husband has been treated for exhaustion. He said there was nothing seri ously wrong with the singer but thai "at his age Mr. Robeson had to take care and needed rest Supports Red Cause Robeson has a long record of supporting Soviet causes. He won the Stalin Peace Prize m 1952, and his son, Paul Jr., received part of his education in the So viet Union. Robeson was graduated from Rutgers University in 1919 after compiling a brilliant scholastic and sports record. He was Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Walter Camp's 1918 All-America football team. He was graduated from the Columbia University Law School in 1923. A good bass voice and theatri cal talent led Robeson to great success as a singer and actor. a He piayed the title roles in Shakespeare's "Othello' and Eu - gene O'Neil's Jones."

(UPI Telephoto) Dr. York Says Test Ban Treaty Offers Hope For U.S. Security WASHINGTON (UPI) The director of Defense Research un der both Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy said today that sci ence and technology by them selves offer "absolutely no solu tion" to the problem of national security. He said the test ban treaty with' Russia offers hope in this direction. The testimony was given by Dr.. lierDeu. ,?,-. York, 41-year-old chancellor of the University of California, as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee moved into the final stages of its hearings on the treaty. The limited pact also was en dorsed by former Ambassador Arthur i. Dean, who said it is in the best interests of the Unit ed States." But he added: , "Keep Musket Loaded" "I would keep the musket con stantly loaded and put an ever vigilent guard at the door" to de tect possible violations by the So viet union. York rejected the arguments of critics who contend the treaty would hamper development of an anti-missile system, nail down Russia's lead in super bombs and perhaps find U. S. laboratories unprepared if Russia resumes at mospheric shots. He testified that although U. S. Donkey Reported Target Practice Victim At Green , By MARY WEIKUM "Hi-Fi," a meek and docile don key belonging to the Buster Moore family of Castle Ave., Green, was the victim of target practice by an unknown assassin recently as he grazed on his pasture at the Er nest Schick place on Rifle Range Koaci. Members of the Moore family were in the habit of visiting "Hi Fi" two or three times a week to check on his well-being. On their last visit they found the donkey lying in a grove of trees, killed from shots in both head and shoul der. He had apparentlv been dead for about two days, the family re ported. The donkey had long been a fa vorite companion of children of the area, patiently carrying them on rides and packing their supplies for camping trips. One of his fa vorite tricks was to nuzzle in the children's pockets for treats. The Moores and the Schicks say they would like to hear of any loads to the identity of the person or persons who did the wanton shooting. ., In the meantime "Hi-Fi" is be ing mourned by his many young friends. His killing follows that of the shooting of some of the Mt. Ncbo goats, leading many to be lieve that someone is using range animals for target practice.

Prill Wears Trapped Miners military power has "steadily in creased" since shortly after World War II, its national secu rity has been "rapidly and inex orably diminishing" as weapons become more deadly. The picture for Russia, he added, is "much worse." "It is my view that the prob lem posed to both sides by this dilemma of steadily increasing military power and steadily de creasing national security has no technical solution," the scientist said. "If we continue to look for so lutions in the areas of science and technology the only result will be Council To Eye Bus Franchise Failure of the Roseburg City Bus Co. to correct violations under franchise agreement will be among the reports of the city manager when the city council meets to night at 8 o'clock in the City Coun cil Chambers.

The city manager will also make reports on the award of contract for improve ment of Bradford-Oriole paving dis trict; final payment to Roseburg Paving Co. for Stewart Park Road improvements ($3,096.21), and re pairs to the shop building. To be considered is a request by Lloyd Fromdahl for change of zoning from Residential 1 to Resi dential 2 on a portion of property known as Brown Estate in west Roseburg. Another request will be a vari ance setback by Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Gardner, 1508 SE Sanford Ave. (recommended by the plan ning commission). There will be a third reading on an amendment to the sewer serv ice ordinance. The planning commission reports will include a recommendation to request urban planning assistance to prepare a revised zoning ordi nance with city contribution to be $840 and a project cost estimated at $2,500. There will be a recom mendation to dispose of certain city owned property, and recommenda tion to proceed with swimming pool renovation and repairs. Portlander Drowns As Wave Tips Boat TILLAMOOK. (UPI) A man drowned and six other persons were rescued after a sneaker wave capsized two small sports fishing boats in Nehalem Bay about Z0 miles north of here Sun day afternoon. The victim was Edward Benja min Stahly, 45, Portland. Stahly was in a boat with his wife, Clara, and Forest King of Wheeler. The Coast Guard res cued Mrs. Stahly and King.

In the other boat were Gerald Herbert, his two teen - age sons and Harold Simantel. all of Hills- j bora. They were picked up by persons in ncaroy Doals. a steady and inexorable worsen ing of this situation." "First Small Step" On the other hand,- York said he considered the test ban treaty to be "a first small step towards finding a solution" to the prob lem of national security if it Is followed by other steps to re verse the arms race. . If the treaty is not followed by other actions' to" slow the arms race, he said, "national security will still continue to diminish though perhaps less rapidly." York emphasized that it is probably impossible" to devel op an anti-missile system that would really work. But be told the senators considering the treaty that it would be "relative ly easy" to modify U. S. missiles so they could penetrate Russia's missile defense system. York said concern about Rus sia's anti-missile developments is "misplaced and primary em phasis should be placed on mak ing sure that U. S. ballistic mis siles will penetrate Soviet de fenses.

Housing Project Due Reedsport A special session of the Reeds port City Council held late last week resurrected from five months of delay and inactivity the Crest view Heights development propo sition by John C. Diehl and Byron Serfling and re-affirmed the city's acceptance of the proposal subject to terms of the legal contract to be drawn. The Crestview Heights is part of a city-owned tract of some 500 acres on the eastern edge of the city between the Umpqua River Highway and the Scholfield River. Under the conditions of the ap proved proposal, Diehl and Serf ling are to advance $20,000 water installation costs (work to be done by the city) to be re-imbursed out of water revenue over a period of time. Sewer, access and street de velopment costs within the project are to be born by the developers, according to Dawn Peseau, corre spondent. Delay in starting the project is attributed to a misunderstanding as to the need for a letter of ac ceptance following council action March 11 of this year which gave approval to the development pro posal subject to the terms of a le gal contract to be drawn. Approval had earlier been given by the Federal Housing Adminis tration and the Reedsport Planning commission for the preliminary plat and a water survey had been made by an engineering firm at the city's request, Mrs. Peseau said.

Volunteer t VlayGoDown To Aid Pair SHEPPTON. Pa. (UPI) Drill ing operations slowed down sharo- ly today in the effort to rescue two rugged coal miners who have been buried 308 feet underground two weeks. Estimates of when they may reach the surface ranged from late afternoon to late at night. Rescue workers bored oast the 250-foot mark without a major hitch in the final stage of reanu ing out an existing 12-inch hole from the surface to the spot where the two were trapped when. mine snau couapsea. But officials were becoming in creasingly cautious as the drill approached the subterranean1 chamber where David Fellin, 58, and Henry Throne, 28, were wait-. ing to be saved. The miners said some dust was falling Into the cramped chamber despite a concrete plug at the bottom of the 12-inch hole. Mine experts said this was to be expected. However, they de cided to call a strategy con ference when the drill, in scrap-, ing out the smaller hole to a diameter of 17Vi inches, reached a aeptn ot 265 feet. At this meeting, they planned to decide on whether the shaft, after being enlarged to 17& inches, should be widened even more, to 20 Inches. Ftar Of Sticking There were fears the metal es cape capsule, which was expected to bring the men to the surface. wouia get siuck in the narrow rescue shaft. ,Z Officials also wanted to decide whether to send a volunteer down to help the men into the capsule. ine 10-ioot long concrete plug was poured to prevent dirt, rock and coal being scraped out in the reaming operation from falling in to the miners' tiny prison. Shortly before 9' a.m. EDT, one rescuo official -spoke to Fellin over the communications system that links the miners to the world above. No Word From Bova He asked Fellin whether he had heard anything from a third min er, Louis Bova, 42, and Fellin re plied quietly, "No." Fellin. whose voice could be heard over a broadcasting speak er near the head of the mine In which the three were entombed, also said he had no idea where Bova was located. Drilling for Bova stoDned a lit tle before 6 a.m. at a depth of about 140 feet when water was encountered. The drill, driven by compressed air, will not operate in water. The first 38 feet of the rescue shaft was enlarged to 30 Inches Sunday. Then a 26-inch-wide steel casing was inserted in that sec tion of the hole to reinforce its walls, and reaming with the smaller bit was started. In another operation, a rescue worker said it may take until sometime Tuesday to finish drill ing a 3-inch hole to the spot where a third miner, Louis Bova, 42, was thought to be trapped. Bova, who was with Fellin and Throne when the mine shaft they were in collapsed Aug, 13, . was last heard from on Tuesday. Hopes that he would be found alive were dim. Tim Estimates Vary Some officials estimated the drill may reach the chamber in which Fellin and Throne are trapped by 11 a.m., EDT, while others predicted it would sot break through until late in the afternoon or evening. Gordon Smith, deputy state sec retary of mines, and Clyde Mac hamer, president of the Indepen dent Miners Association, said the reaming operation may be fin ished before noon. Peter Hino, a state mine inspector, said it might take until dusk. ; The reaming operation proceed ed slowly, at the rate of a few feet an hour. Periodic delays were caused when new sections had to be added to the pipe that carries pulverized rock to the surface as the drill goes deeper. After drilling is completed, the capsule will be lowered to the chamber and raised several times in dry runs before an actual at tempt to lift the men to the sur face is made. Joke With Rescuers Throne, listening to the hum of the drills through the smaller shaft, said "We're gonna be like (astronaut) John Glenn and come shooting out of this hole." "1'U send Hank (Throne) up first," Fellin shouted later. A res cue worker replied: "I figured you'd say that." George Gallagher, a friend of the two, Sunday night warned Throne that there may be "stuff coming down the bole" from the drilling. "We got room down the slop.-" Throne said, indicating there Wds space to shunt aside any loose dirt that might fall. "Nothing is falling now."
