Official Answers Fellin's Charge On Slow Rescue SHEPPTON, Pa. (UPI)-A state mining official said today in his opinion David Fellin helped get himself into the predicament of being entombed for 15 days by a mine cave-in. State deputy mines chief Gor don Smith made the statement in answer to a charge by Fellin Wednesday that he should have been rescued in five days. "The miners in this operation were removing pillars of coal," Smith said. "Fellin showed he doesn't know all there is to know about mining by getting himself in this predicament." Smith said the miners were not digging deeply for coal, but were taking out coal pillars "left all these years" to support the mine. Smith made the statement at the mine site where rescuers were drilling to reach Louis Bova, a third miner still trapped more than 300 feet underground. There is little hope for Bova's survival. Fellin, a co-owner of the mine who was rescued early Tuesday along with Henry Throne, said Wednesday that he "should have been out by the fifth day." He said rescuers should have dug through the crumbled mine shaft, instead of drilling an escape hole from the surface. "It doesn't even deserve com ment," Smith said of Fellin's re mark. Smith is a mining engineer who worked In the mines in this area during the depression. He said he did not know how Fellin expected to make a living from the mine, which had "been worked on and off since 1950 after having been closed since 1929. H. Beecher Charmbury, state mines chief, said Fellin's remark hurt the morale of the rescuers l.ow digging a shaft to reach Bova. "It was bad for the morale of the men when Fellin made his statement that he should have been rescued on the fifth day," Charmbury said. s "The number of volunteers dropped off sharply. We still have enough to do the work, but the number of men on standby basis has fallen off." Charmbury said Fellin was not familiar with the "conditions of the slope or he wouldn't have said that. He couldn't be he hasn't SC6D it. ' Charmbury said a volunteer probably would descend the Bova shaft, but that it would not occur until 6 p.m. EDT Friday "at the earliest." He said water was dis covered at the bottom of the shaft, and called it "a brand new hazard which makes it tougher. Workers today , were widening the 12'A-inch wide shaft to 30 inches to a depth of 35 or 40 feel. They planned to widen the re mainder of the shaft to 22 inches, , according to Smith. .. He said they were proceeding carefully because "this side of the mine is more dangerous than the other." Bova was separated from Fellin and Throne by about 18 feet of debris and rock. Smith said if a volunteer goes down, he "will be a man of min; ing ability, agility and courage.

The Kiwanis Club is proposing the three get together to expand the program to offer more activities to both boys and girls during the summer months. Election Suggested Chief activity this year was the Kiwanis Pee Wee baseball pro gram, which was aided by city funds and a director paid by the schools.

Anderson was named to represent the school board on the Stewart Park Master Site Development Committee being organized by the cityr to, promote the eventual full usage of the ateW' art Park area. , ' To Build Gate ' In other action involving the city the board voted to build a gate across the new road from W. Bel lows St. into the high school (ad' jacent to the baseball field) which will close the street to public traf fic after school hours. This road, which will be a one way street leading traffic away from the high school and onto the Bellows interchange at the freeway on W. Harvard Boulevard, is be ing built to facilitate school bus traffic which will have to be re routed because of the new high school commons building. Construc tion of the commons building will also cut down oq some of the park ing area at uie men school, and the board Wednesday night approv ed a plan to clear and pave a tri angular-shaped parcel of land be longing to the schools on W.
