House Commerce
Group Approves
Rail Strike Bill
Washington IUPII The
House Commerce Committee
today approved legislation -to.
avert a nationwide rail strike
Thursday while the Senate
squared off for what a Re
publican leader said would
be a real shooting match over
a similar bill.
Senate Republican Leader
Everett Dirksen, 111., said op
posing Senate forces were
"coming out of all corners
shooting" over a bill to set
up a seven-member board to
arbitrate the 4-year-old d i s
pute. With one key exception,
the House bill was similar
to the Senate version. It would
not subject the so-called sec
ondary issues to arbitration.
The Senate bill would pro
vide for arbitration of these
matters if no agreement was
reached by collective bargain
ing within 30 days.
Both would provide that
the two primary issues, the
need for firemen on freight
and yard service diesels and
over-all make-up of train
crews, be resolved by arbitra
tion binding on both the un
ions and the carriers.
The administration is gun
ning hopefully but not opti
mistically for enactment of
legislation by Wednesday to
avert a threatened nationwide
rail strike one minite after
midnight local time that day.

Yard Licenses
May Be Provoked
Under New Law
A new law which will go
into effect Sept. 2, will give
the state the power to revoke
wrecking yard licenses. Dis
trict Attorney Alan B. Holmes
has written the county court.
Holmes said this morning
he had suggested the county
court write the state depart
ment of motor vehicles charg
ing a wrecking yard in the
South Talent interim zoned
area with continued violation
of wrecking yard regulations.
The state did not have the
power to revoke wrecking
yard licenses before. Holmes
explained, although it could
refuse to renew a wrecking
yard license.
Residents of the South Tal
ent interim zoned area and
members of the Jackson coun
ty planning commission are
disturbed over the lack of ac
tion to correct alleged viola
tion of a wrecking yard in the
area, the planning commis
sion wrote the county court.
The county court referred
the matter to the district at
torney for investigation.
The planning commission
charges that the area outside
the main fenced yard section
is larger than that allowed by
state law and contains more
wrecked vehicles than permit
ted under law.

Ambassador Lodge
Makes Call on Diem
Saigon - iDPIl - The govern
ment concentrated today on
silencing angry students who
are carrying on the campaign
of opposition initiated by
Buddhist leaders, most of
whom now are in hospitals or
jails.

students off to jail. Some esti

called on President Ngo Dinh
Diem to present his creden
tials and give Diem a mes
sage from President Kennedy.
Talk Only Briefly
Lodge and Diem chatted
amiably for about 15 minutes.
Newsmen watching the cere
mony could hear only frag
ments of the conversation, but
it appeared that neither man
mentioned the explosive Bud
dhist crisis.
The ambassador was expect
ed to take that matter up at
his first private interview
with Diem. It was not certain
immediately how soon that
would be.
Lodge told newsmen Sun
day he had been advised not
to go to church because of the
tense situation in Saigon,
symbolized by frequent gov
ernment roadblocks in the
downtown streets.
"I've also been advised not I
to take any long walks,

L. Sawyer.
Presenting Dunn's case. Dis
trict Attorney Alan Holmes

life on the installment plan,
a year at a time." He reviewed
Dunn's record for the past 10
years and told the court that
Dunn had been in jail more
than out and that he felt that
he needed the security of
county jail.
Holmes also told the court
that Dunn had been an excel
lent employee of the county
while in jail and served so
well that he had been hired
by the county to act as fore
man on the farm project when
he was released from jail.

Attendance at Britt Music
Festival Totaled 4,563
The first season for the Pe

Arts festival ended Saturday
evening after two weeks of
concerts at the Britt home
grounds in Jacksonville.
Attendance was 4.563, ac
cording to festival officials to
day who have already started
making arrangements for the
1964 season.
Mrs. Bert Prcc, festival
president, said that the sea
son next year has been tenta
tively scheduled for Aug. 9
through 22. While the festi
val is expected to be similar
to this year, more diversified
programs are expected to be

Workers Bore Past
250-Foot Mark To
Reach Buried Men
Dust Said Falling
In Miners' Space
Sheppton, Pa.-OJPD-Drilling
operations slowed down sharp
ly today in the effort to res
cue two rugged coal miners
who have been buried 308 feet
underground two weeks. Esti
mates of when they may reach
the surface ranged from late
afternoon to late at night.
Rescue workers bored past
the 250-mark without a major
hitch in the final stage of
reaming out an existing 12
inch hole from the surface to
the spot where the two were
trapped when a mine shaft
collapsed.
But officials were becoming
increasing cautious as the
drill approached the subter
ranean chamber where David
Fellin, 58, and Henry Throne,
28, were waiting to be saved.
The miners said some dust
was falling into the cramped
chamber despite a concrete
plug at the bottom of the 12
inch hole.
Mine experts said this was
to be expected. However, they
decided to call a strategy con
ference when the drill, in
scraping out the smaller hole
to a diameter of 17'2 inches,
reached a depth of 265 feet.
At this meeting, they plan
ned lo decide on whether the
shaft, after being enlarged to
17 '2 inches, should be widen
ed even more, to 20 inches.
There were fears the metal
escape capsule, which was ex
pected to bring the men to the
surface, would get stuck in
the narrow rescue.
Officials also wanted to de
cide whether to send a volun
ter down to help the men into
the capsule.
The 10-foot long concrete
plug was poured to prevent
dirt, rock and coal being
scraped out in the reammig
operation from falliing into
the miners' tiny prison.
Bear Creek Flow

other reservoirs, Wilcox add
