President Charles de Gaullo won a landslide victory for World's Largest Blimp Arrives at Santa Ana Base Santa Ana, Calif. - IUPII -The world's largest blimp, the Navy's 342-foot ZPG2, was be ing reoulfittcd today for oceanographic research. The craft arrived at this southern California coastal city Saturday to become the first lightcr-than-air trans continental craft to visit the West Coast in five years. The Navy said the purpose of its six or eight-week so journ here was for ocean re search - but some unconfirm ed reports said the blimp would be used lo help de velop future antisubmarine warfare tactics along the Pa cific Coast. Equipment on Board The sources indicate that intricate new electronics equipment was being placed aboard the craft for use in such a mapping project. The Navy announced only that oceanagraphic research will be conducted in conjunc tion with the Scripps Insti tute of Oceanography at La Jolla, Calif. The ship with its 15-man crew took five days to travel from Lakehurst, N.J., to the old Sanla Ana Air Base here. It is the first blimp since 1956 to use the base, which ac ommodated airships for Pa cific Coast submarine patrol during World War II.

Mining experts agreed to day that a "miracle" saved him. Larry, a Reno High school student, was trapped for 11 hours Saturday in the air shaft of a silver mine in Ne vada's Comstock Lode. He had gone with two classmates in search of relics for a history class. They found the mouth of the Sutro Tunnel in rugged hills not far from here, but the mouth of the tunnel was flooded. I remember from school the tunnel was ventilated with shafts from the top every two thousand feet, Larry said "so we decided to climb the mountain above the tunnel and see if we could get in this way." Couldn't Move Lg Larry and Fred Vatalero, 17, flipped a coin lo see who would go down on a rope lowered by the other two youths. Fred lost, and was about 10 feet down when he changed his mind. I made it down about 15 feet and some dirt broke loose and splattered me I decided lo come back up, he said, men i nave a Jurors Questioned For Finch Trial Los Angeles-IDPIl-Opposing counsels today resumed ques tioning of prospective jurors as the third trial of Dr. R.

It was freezing down there and I could feel the bats flying round me and see spiders crawling around." Mining experts said Larry was lying on a rock layer supported only by a few rot- ton timbers of an old bulk head. Below was a straight ,400-foot fall certain death if the timbers had given way. The experts said "only a miracle" kept the timbers in- act.
