First TFX Fighter
Slated for 1965
Washington -IUPD- The Air
Force expects to have the first
test model of the controver
sial TFX fighter plane ready
to fly by beginning of 1965.
Air Force Secretary Eugene
M. Zuckert said Thursday the
first 700 production models of
the plane probably would cost
$7 billion.
In a "status report" on the'
TFX contract, Zuckert said
fabrication of the models
might begin this year with the
actual flight tests to begin
around January or February
of 1965.
The 1,650 mile -an -hour
fighter plane has been the
subject of a six-month investi
gation in Congress. The probe
was sparked as the General
Dynamics Corp. was awarded
the plane contract despite the
preference of military chiefs
for the Boeing t-o. moaei.

ft was hot. We drank water
nd we sweated. And we wor
ried! Seven ei us, June, Byrfe,
Eslkrh, Clark and Paul Mc
Kinney and Donald Blake
Nanna, who were rescued
Wednesday night were work
ing in the east drift when the
explosion occurred.
It happened about 20 min
utes after a dynamite blast
that must have been deep in
the west drift. Then gas be
gan moving. It was heavy gas,
creeping along the floor.
For four or five hours we
built a barricade to try to
stop the gas. We knew it was
deadly. We built the barricade
out of pieces of metal vent
lines and wood then packed
the bottom with salt.
It was hot. ... We used
only one miner's lamp at a
time so we would have light
as long as possible. We still
had one light when we were
rescued.
We took turns sleeping. We
would sleep for about 10 min
utes at a time. The rest of the
time we would talk and just
wait, I guess. We also wonder
ed if the three others found
dead by McKinney and Blake
mada it ta safety.
About 12 hours after the
xploeion, Hanna and McKin
ney left. Then we had another
worry: Did they make it?
About 30 hours after tha ex
plosion somebody up there re
paired the high pressure air
line and we began to get a
little new air. Not much. But
it was enough. But we still
had to sit, sweat and drink
water.
We heard the rescue coming
about 10 minutes before they
arrived. We heard the clank
of metal on metal and knew
they were on the way.
When I saw them it was the
greatest thing I have ever
seen in my life.
a man screaming but I could
not get to him. I think he
was in the west drift.
When the explosion came,
another workman and I were
discussing how to drill a hole.
The blast knocked all of us
down in our shaft. It was hot
and smoky and pitch black.
The temperature a couple of
hours after the blast was 98
degrees.
After we built the barrier,
f just laid there and sweat.
We drank water ... it was
muddy but it was sure good.
By GRANT ESLICK
We knew it was just a mat
ter of time and we never gave
up hope. "
The smoke after the blast
gave me my worst moments.
If a guy is going to panic he'll
do it in the smoke.
This fresh air sure' tastes
good. I never thought fresh
air could taste so good.
We were sure glad to see
the other two fellows (Hanna
and McKinney) had made if
out.
By CHARLES BYRGE
I don't think we could have
made it if it hadn't have been
for Blake (Don Blake Hanna)
and the other guy (Paul Mc
Kinney). They left us to go
down the drift to see if they
could find anyone else. When
they found three dead they
decided that if the carbon
monoxide got those guys, it
would eventually get us. I'm
thankful they fixed the sir
line. I don't think there was
ever enough air down there,
but at least there was enough
to keep us alive.
By CHARLES CLARK
It wan hot down there and
we started to drink water. We
must have finished five gal
lons in 30 minutes. Then we
started drinking water out of
water lines. It was river water
but it was pretty good.
We never gave up hope but
we kept watching and won
dering what was holding them
up. They should have come
sooner.
It was rough. I'm tired and
hungry but now I can eat and
sleep.
The first I actually realized
they (the rescuers) were com
ing was when I happened to
glance up and saw one of
their lights about SO yards
away.
By ROBERT JUNE
I could hear people yelling
after the explosion hit. I heard
