Sighting of
Bodies Completes
Lengthy Vigil
Carmichaels, Pa. -UIPH- The
last of 37 miners trapped by
an explosion deep inside a
giant soft coal mine five days
ago were found dead Monday
night.
Shortly before last mid
night, an announcement was
made at the head of the Frosty
Mine shaft of giant Robena
No. 3 mine that "11 more
bodies had been sighted."
The dead count was com
plete - all 37 were killed by
the blast.
First one, then four, then
seven . . . then more, the
bodies were found by rescue
teams which had battled since
last Thursday afternoon when
word was flashed that an ex
plosion had occurred 680 feet
beneath the earth's surface.
The grief stricken families,
who had kept a long and
silent vigil, filed out of the
small depressing waiting room
near the mouth of the deep
miles-long Frosty Run shaft
upon learning that none of
the miners had been found
alive.
There were few tears, but
the wan and forlorn faces told
of their emotions.
Reflects Prayarful Ordeal
Their silent grief reflected
a prayerful ordeal under
taken in an uncomfortable
corrugated iron building
nestled In the snow-covered
hills of southwestern Penn
sylvania. Despite the evidence against
survival, the rescue teams
worked determinedly in the
miners' tradition of never giv
ing up hope until the last
missing man is found.
Only the grim task of re
covering the last bodies and
identifying them remained.
Identification was difficult be
cause of the condition of the
bodies.
Dr. Dave Fingle. a U.S.
Steel Corp. physician, and
Greene County Coroner Frank
J. Behm said their findings
showed the cause of death of
the men whose bodies were
brought to the surface was the
'tremendous force of the ex
plosion."
"Death was instantaneous,"
the two men said.
Begin Ttdioua Search
In a matter of hours after
the explosion, rescue teams
entered the gas-filled shaft to
begin the long tedious search
for the trapped men.
Additional teams gathered
to aid the probe under con
stant danger from deadly me
thane gas, possible roof falls
and the chance of another
explosion.
The 24 rescue members
were aided constantly by 75
to 80 volunteers.
Hope for the survival of
the 37 trapped miners dimmed
steadily as the long rescue ef
fort progressed and then end
ed with the sighting of the fi
nal 11 bodies.
Plan Investigation
James B. Girod, assistant
superintendent of Robena No.
3. said plans for mapping a
full-scale investigation to de
termine the cause of the blast
probably would begin Wed
nesday. Joining in the investi
gation, he said, would be the
U.S. Department of Mines, the
Pennsylvania Department of
Mines, management learns and
possibly representatives from
the United Mine Workers union.

WHERE ARE THEY7 - After leaving their cars on a park
ing lot all day, workers in South Bend, Ind., found them
all but covered up when they came off -their jobs Monday.
A steady snowfall deposited 20 inches on the city with
drifts three to four feet deep. Many roads in the county
were closed by drifts but city streets were open but slick.
