That ia the mlradt that these superstitious, Ignorant people, who a iew up thinking surgeons were foreign fiends, now have equally blind faith in the surgeon's curative powers.

There are about 140 pilots who take ships through the 80-year-old canal which runs through 101 mlles of sandy waste. They guide up to 3,000 ships a year. For years French and British pilots have been in the majority. Hollanders. Norwegians, Danes, Swedes and Greeks fill out the ranks. Griffin left San Pedro for the sea in 1934. At 32, he was rap tain of a U. S. flag ; vessel ply ing between the Persian Gulf, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. Two British pilot friends, who knew he was eager to find a job ashore where he could spend more time with his wife and two child ren, suggested he apply to the Suez Canal authorities, Two years Griffin waited for an answer. Seven months ago he received word he was acrrpted. He plans to stay on for 20 yean and then retire. ing phosphorous, but tneir con dition is not critical.

Meanwhile, other warrhen spotted English. The hrhcopter was directed to the scene and was about to make a landing when the crew chief pulled the pin from the smoke bomb. It was to have been used in determining the wind di rection. Sudden Explosion A sudden explosion blew out the windows of the rotor-ship, lilled the cabin with phosphorous flames and crushed the bones of the crew man's right hand. Holding the sizzling bomb with his left hand, the airman managed to toss it out of the window while the pilot, burned on the face and left leg, set the helicopter down safely. The rescuers then were In the position of receiving first aid frotn the rescued. English, unhurt In his forced landing, helped the two rnen out of the helicopter and radioed for aid. A second helicopter with a med ical officer aboard flew from Ladr to the scene. While he worked over the burned men, air force men watched amazed as a Piper Cub flown by Gordon Mitchell landed on the mountain. Mitchell and English tinkered with the Cessna's engine and j shortly afterward both light planes took off, roaring down the ; mountain slope to gain air speed.

Coal Mines to Start Week of Idleness Today PITTSBURGH, Pa.. June l-f,T -The nation's coal industry Mops cold tomorrt'w fur a onr-wp.-k "stabilizing" period c.iHH by doughty John I,. I,c.vis. Approximate 450,000 soft (bi tuminous) aid hard (atithr.-icitc) miners who piy dues to Lewis' United Mine Workers of America will take the week off. Only a few independent strip miners and IC.000 members of the ProRrssive Mine Workers in Illinois are exacted to work. Iewis tprmed his supfise walk out a "stabilizing period of in action." But one mirfer seemingly summed things up when he said: "I think John L's afraid there's too much coal above ground for him to do much business with the operators." While the miners spend the week fishing or helping with household chores. Lewi will be very busy trying to do business with two segments of the mine industry. He wants to write a new contract. The present mine pact expires June 30. Tomorrow the UMW begins contract talks with U.S. Steel Corp. at Philadelphia. The cor poration employs 20,000 UMW members in its so-called "captive" pits.

Lewis has remaiiied mum about wage boosts and a reduction in work hours although there has been talk of a 30-hour week Miners now receive an average $14.05 daily and work 40 hours a week.
