David Fellin and Henry
Throne were in almost jaunty
spirits. The fate of the third
miner, Louis Bova, 42, re
mained unknown.
Bova was last heard from
on Tuesday, when he lapped
three times on his chamber
wall, signaling that he was
alive. A separate, three-inch
hole was being drilled to
where he is trapped.
Charmbury said the "seri
ous setback" concerned the
upper part of the 38-foot hole.
"We can't go ahead and ream
at 17 Vi inches until we put
casing in the upper part of
the hole," he said. "It would
be too dangerous. It might
cave in and we would lose
everything we have."
Would Be Reamed
The mines official said the
hole would be reamed at 30
inches, after which a 26-inch
casing would be made.
The casing operation will
not be completed until the
pre-dawn hours today. An
other 30 hours would he re

wide. When it is expanded to
171-2 inches, attempts will be
made to pull the miners to
the surface in a torpedo
shaped escape tube which
barely will fit into the opening.
"We are not going to rush
the drilling," Charmbury said
earlier. "Safety is ahead of
speed. From all indications,
the men are comfortable down
there, and why take chances?"

Two Men Hold Up

Portland, Ore. -iITH- Two
men held up the St. Johns
oflice of the Benjamin Frank

association in North Portland
Saturday.
They escaped with $6,
836.40 after taping up three
employees and putting them
in a back room. The office
was darkened by an electrical
failure about 30 minutes be
fore the robbery but the pow
er failure apparently was ac
cidental. The FBI said the bandits
may be the same men who
took $5,375 in a robbery at
the Lake Oswego office of the
same company July 30.
Saturday's holdup came as
FBI agents and Portland po

He is expected to present his
new cabinet to the king next
Tuesday.
The new government is ex
pected to be based on a co
alition of the four non-Socialist
parties-the Conservatives,
Center party, Christian Peo
ple's and Liberals. It will be
a minority government since
the four parties control only
74 seals in the 150-member
house, or two short of a ma
jority. Gerhardsen himself com
manded only 74 seats but re
lied on the support of the two
People's Socialist party depu
ties to remain in power.
His government fell Friday
night when the People's So
cialists sided with the non
Socialist opposition parties,
lipping the balance against
Gerhardsen. The vote of non
confidence was passed 76 to
74.
Short Life
Observers predicted a short
life for the new government.
They said the two People's
Socialist deputies would swing
back behind the Socialists at
the first opportunity to over
throw the Lyng cabinet.
The change in government
was expected to have no ef
fect on Norway's pro-Western
foreign policies. Gerhardsen's
defeat came as a result of do

The vole, which came Fri

failure to take appropriate
measures to prevent a coal

Khrushchev Says
Communism Will
Bury Capitalism
Split, Yugoslavia -HOT- So

threat Saturday and pledged
that communism would bury
capitalism - with assembly
line production.
Pointing a finger al West

day visit to Yugoslavia with
President Josip Broz Tito,
Khrushchev shouted, "I say
we will beat you, and beat
you with better organized pro
duction. We will not bury
you with a shovel, but the
working class will bury you."
"Why the devil should I
bury the capitalists?" the So
viet leader asked a group of
more than 1.000 shipyard
workers he addressed under a
hot sun in this port on the
Adriatic sea. "Their own
working class will do it.''
Theme Variation
Khrushchev's SDcech was a
variation on a theme he play
ed Wednesday in off-the-cuff
remarks to assembly line
workers at. a tractor factory
near Belgrade.
In those remarks, Khrush

Letter to Senate
Joint Chiefs of
Staff in Accord
Washington -WPP- President
Kennedy has ordered a sharp
expansion in U. S. under
ground nuclear testing which
is not banned by the iri-power
treaty now awaiting Senata
ratification, the Defense de
partment revealed Saturday.
Deputy Defense Secretary
Roswell L. Gilpatric made
the disclosure in a 10-paga
letter giving the Senate Arm
ed Services committee "ex
tensive assurances" that every
possible safeguard will be ob
served against risks which tha
treaty admittedly entails." .
The pact . signed by tha
United Stales, Britain and
Russia and more than 75 other
nations -' bans only tests in
the atmosphere, under water
and in outer space.
Reduce Risks
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
chairman of the U. S. joint
chiefs of staff, wrote the com
mittee separately. He said the
chiefs "consider that the ac
tions described in Gtlpatric'3
letter meet the requirements,
as presently foreseen, for im
I plementing , the safeguards
proposed by the joint chiefs to
reduce the risks and disad
vantages o the treaty."
Gilpatric also promised Im
proved intelligence and test
detection procedures, a readi
ness to test in the atmosphera
plan which would permit
their resumption within two
to six months, depending on
the type of experiment, and
a program which he said
would keep good scientists ac
tively at work in U. S. weap
ons laboratories.
Details of the underground
