At Least Four
Dead In Butte
Dynamite Blast
BUTTE, Mont. (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.
Harold Davison, Robeson's ag
ent, said in London he had gone
to East Germany to convalesce
at a spa. The agent said he would
be "away four to five weeks" be
fore returning for a recording
engagement and a television
show.

Two others were sought by po

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

"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

followed by other steps to re

If the treaty is not followed by

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.

Questions believed to rank high

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."
