Farmer Buried By Vell Cave-in
Nampa, Idaho (UPD Canyon
County sheriffs officers said
that Herbert A'. Tlegs, a pro
minent area farmer, died
when a well he was working
in caved in burying him in
sand.
Efforts were under way to
recover his body but the
work was slow and tedious.
Rescue workers had to go
through a 22 inch pipe to get
to the body which was still
under several feet of sand.
Oxygen also was lacking and
there was fear of someone
else being trapped.
Floodlights were used in
the operation after damkess
fell. One deputy said, "I'm no
expert, but I think it will
take a week to get him out."
Tiegs, about 99, had been
cementing the walla of the
well working from a rope
plank. A hired hand had been
helping him but left for a
short time. He discovered the
accident when he returned to
the 155 foot structure.

Last-Minute Korean flea for U.S. To

states rejected a dramatic last
moment plea that U.S. troopi In

who this week . overthrew the
sovernment of Premier John M.

maneuvering which preceded the
coup.
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
Highly qualified sources
said today that the man who
has been named chairman of
the Korean Revolutionary
Committee actually made a
last minute plea to U.S. Gen.
Carter B. Magruder for U.S.
troop intervention to stop the
revolt. .
.. Magruder, commander of
U.S. and United Nations
forces in Korea, turned him
down, apparently on the basis
of standing orders from Wash
ington for such a situation.
The man who made the
secret pre-dawn plea was Lt.
Gen. Chang Do Yung, Korean
army chief of staff.
The sources say Chang is a
figurehead and that intricate
behind-the-scenes political ne
gotiations which have follow
ed the coup, show that the
revolutionary committee may
have had less strength than
first appeared.
This is how they tell the
story:

During the weeks before the
coup he sought a moderate
course.
He did not at first back the
rebel group. Nor did he call
in outlying Korean troops
either to support or oppose it.
There is strong evidence
that Premier John M. Chang
had information on the coup
weeks in advance, knew
many of the leaders and that
Pak was the ring-leader.- It
appeared the premier did not
know the extent to which
Chang, one of his most trusted
officers, would be Involved.
Only about 4,000 troops out
of a total army of more than
500,000 took part. ' 1 r .,1 .
One contributing reason for
this undoubtedly was Magru
der's statement calling on the
whole army immediately to
restore control to the Over
thrown government. The
American army always has
had strong influence on the
Korean military. '..,'
Water, Eight Feet Deep, Floods Oklahoma Town
United Press International
A million dollar flood
washed eight feet deep over
the town of Wister, Okla., to
day in a new outburst of
spring torrents.
On another flood front, Na
tional Guards and volunteers
kept up an around the clock
vigil on levees guarding west
ern Tennessee communities
from the highest Mississippi
river levels in 11 years..
Fresh rains threatened to
bog down clean-up operations
in southern Illinois, just re
covering from a $50 million
flood. The new rains sprang
from a storm center hovering
near - the Indiana-Kentucky
border.
The, Wister flood was 'trig
gered by a two-hour deluge
which hit Canaval Mountain
with 5.6 inches of rain. The
rain water swept down creek
beds. One wall of water was
four feet high as it raced to
wards the eastern Oklahoma
community.
At least 100 persons were
driven from their homes and
more families fled at Poteau,
Okla. Red 'Cross officials at
Wister estimated the flood
damage at $1 - million.
- The Mississippi river flood
in Tennessee had already cov
ered a half million acres and
was not expected to crest until
Saturday.
