But they pressed a fresh rescue at tempt for four other men they hoped were still alive in an air pocket at the 270-foot level. Weary rescue teams drilled through an oxygen - saving pres sure shield in the sludge-filled Lengede - Broistedt mine in a last ditch effort to reach the four men. Officials said there was a "very, very slim" chance the four miners might still be alive. Hopes Quashed A company spokesman an nounced earlier that hope had been abandoned for 39 other miners trapped inside since 8:30 p.m. Thursday. The last hope for the 39 who had been on the bottom level died after hopes had been raised briefly when a supersensitive microphone pick ed up knocking sounds. But the hopes were dashed after ex perts, listening to the sound on a tape recorder, decided it was merely the rattling of naturally dislodged rocks. Rescue workers seeking the remaining four men were drill ing through a hole - plugging shield designed to prevent air from escaping from the airpock et when their bit broke through. Four to eight drill teams mount ed the pressure shield in relays. Via Were Working A total of 129 men were work ing in the mine when the bot tom of a sedimentation pond collapsed and "sent 19 million gallons of water and sludge pouring into the mine and through ils three miles of shafts and tunnels. Seventy-nine miners scrambled to safety and seven were brought out by a rescue team Friday night. The 39 men given up for dead were working at the bottom of the pit and were thought to be buried beneath tons of muck and slime. The seven who es caped were in a tunnel at the 180 - foot level and escaped flooding although water was found at that level.

O., -ft Y SIGNS OF THE DROUGHT reporter looks over a shallow at the bottom of a vast valley Reservoir, filled to the brim, Explosions Rock Fireworks Plant, Start New Fires BELLAIRE, Ohio (UPI) -A series of explosions rocked a fireworks factory near here Sat urday night, lighting up the sky like a giant Roman carnival and touching off uncontained fires in more than 150 acres of bone-dry woodlands. Further devastation was avoided when a fire on the factory grounds burned around a building con taining 35 tons of dynamite. The blasts injured only one person, Michael Colton, 51, of Bcllaire, a- watchman. He was reported in critical condition at Bellaire Hospital. The fires threatened to devour a number -of- homes when fire men were pulled back because of the dynamite threat. The dy namite was used by the firm, The Ohio Fireworks Co., to ful fill a $3.3 million government contract. But the danger of the massive dynamite blast was quashed when the fire on the three-acre factory grounds miraculously burned around the building con taining the explosives. Officials said of the original 15 struc tures on the grounds, 10 were destroyed. More than 200 firemen, 40 pieces of equipment and 30 emergency cars were pressed into service at the scene, about five miles west of hero in a sparsely-inhabited area. The fires in the woodlands were burning out of control and unattended for more than three hours when firemen were with drawn because of the dynamite threat. About 50 families in the immediate area also were evac uated. The explosions sent cherry bombs and skyrockets hurtling through the air in a steady stream in all directions. As they landed, new outbreaks of fire occurred in the tinder - box woods. They shook buildings and rat tled windows for a 10-mile ra dius. And 20 miles to the east at Wheeling, W. Va., a college stu dent reported picking up an aerial parachute discharged by the blasts. AROUNQ THI OlOM Si. Near Gilboa, N.

Italian Political Crisis Threatens ROME (UPI) - Threats of a grave new Italian political crisis emerged Saturday from the Congress of the left-wing Socialist party which will de termine whether the Socialists will take part in a new coalition government. The outcome could be decisive for Italian democracy. The stopgap government of Premier Giovanni Leone is pledged to resign soon after the Socialist Congress ends on Tues day. And unless the Socialists agree to join a center-left alli ance with the Christian Demo crats, Italy has little prospect of forming a solid government to face the rising threat of in flation and Communism. At the Congress Saturday the mood of the 600 delegates was clearly against a new coalition with the Christian Democrats and against veteran party leader Pietro Nenni.

J Premier Also Hints Wheat Deal May Be Cancelled U.S. 'Conditions' Draw Criticism MOSCOW (UPI) - The Soviet Union wilt not buy American wheat if the United States con tinues to insist that it be shipped in U. S. cargo vessels, Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev hinted Saturday. He did not mention U. S. ships directly but said the deal to buy $250 million of surplus wheat was off if the United States advances any "discrim inatory conditions." President K e n n e d y, in an nouncing the decision to Sell approximately 8 million tons of wheat worth $250 million to the Soviet Union stipulated the wheat should be carried aboard U. S. vessels. Khrushchev made the state ment in replying to questions Friday by a group of left-wing newspaper men touring Russia. His replies were printed Satur day night in t h e government newspaper Izvestia. Other Remarks 11 was the same interview which revealed that the Soviet llninn ic wilhrlroroinn from Ihn .... DU, . man .. ... mnnl, in this decade. Khrushchev also: Called for an end to name calling in the bitter Sinn-Soviet dispute and for a cooling off period. Said the Cuban situation Is still explosive because "pirati cal attacks on-Cuban territory, bombings and strafings on the land and sea of vitally impor tant objectives in Cuba are con tinuing." Aligned the Soviet Union with Algeria in its border dis pute with Morocco and accused Morocco of starting the fighting. Repeated the offer of a non aggression pact between NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries "A pact of peace between the sides possessing nuclear arms." Again called for conclusion of a German peace treaty "to normalize the situation in West Berlin" but threw down no new deadlines. About the time Khrushchev was making the wheat remarks to the journalists, Anatoly F. Dobrynin, Soviet Ambassador in Washington, called on Acting Secretary of State George W. Ball on the wheat sales and emerged to say that "the ex change of views is still going on." Soviet officials are in the United States at the moment to negotiate the purchase of U. S. wheat. Earlier the Soviets purchased $600 million worth of Canadian and Australian wheat to make up for crop failures.

Algerian-Moroccan Peace Conference Scheduled Tuesday ' ALGIERS (UPI) Govern - mcnt sources said Saturday ' night that Algerian President Ahmed Ben Bella will moot with King Hassan II of Morocco at a four-nation summit peace conference Tuesday in Bamako, Mali, in an effort to negotiate a settlement of the Algerian Moroccan conflict. The report came shortly after heavily-reinforced Moroccan troops launched a sharp new offensive against Algerian forces in the Sahara as both sides made llth-hour efforts to jockey for a position of strength in the forthcoming peace talks. Algerian sources here said the Moroccan drive appeared to be an attempt to encircle Al gerian army units on the Tin douf area, an iron-orc-rich area in the southwest corner of Al geria. Sources in Marrakcch. Mo rocco, also said a four-national summit conference would con vene in Bamako but there was no immediate official announce ment of the accord to meet in the capital of the West Central African nation.

Ambassador J. Porter. Details of the con versations were not disclosed. However, informed sources said Porter reiterated previous de nials by Washington that Amer ican pilots assisted Moroccan military operations against Al geria. Reports of the Mali meeting climaxed a day of confusion and apparent deadlock on plans for negotiations to end the fight ing between Morocco and Al giers of disputed Sahara terri tory. Algerian President Ben Bella should take an active part in s-'ecting and electing their rep resentatives to the state legisla ture. He encouraged them to learn about the legi.'ation affecting their profession and after learn ing to work through their pro fessional organizations. Dellenback said that too often legislators are elected, then for gotten by the voters. "Communicate with your rep resentative .... one letter showing knowledge and thought Is worth 500 postcards, he said.
