Hope Abandoned
For 39 Trapped
In German Mine
Rescuers Trying
To Save 4 Others
PEINE, Germany (UPI)
Mine officials Saturday aban
doned hope for 39 miners trap
ped 330 feet underground in a
West German iron mine. 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.

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.

Eastern states planned strin

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.

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.
Taking part in the meeting,
the sources said, would be Ben
Bella, Hassan, President Mo
dibo Kcila of Mali and Emperor
Hailc Selassie of Ethiopia.
Ben Bella conferred during
the day with U. S. 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.
In summing up he told the del
egates (hat it is the obligation
of the voter to know who he has
elected and (o let his representa
tives know what sort of legisla
ting, is wanted.

ment published Saturday, rie
clared the Soviet Union is with-
drawing from the race with th
United States to put a man on

Indirectly, his statement alsr
threw cold water on an offer by
president Kennedy to join tha
United States in a joint manned
fatntinaer lunar trip.
The Premier announced "at
the present time we do not plan
flights of cosmonauts to tha

"I have read a report that Ihn
Americans wish to land a man'
on the moon by 1970. Well let's

"And most important how
they will get up and come back.
we will take their experience
into account.
"We do not wish to compete
in sending people to the moon

It is obvious there would bn
no benefit from such competi
tion. '
"On the contrary It would do
harm ' since it would lead to
the destruction of people."

tion that the USSR has with
drawn from the lunar race,
the National Aeronautics anil

Khrushchev's bowing out of
the moon race in this decade in
dicated a number of possibili
ties: Problems
The problems of hurling a
man some 240,000 miles through
space to the moon and getting
him back alive still takes some
working out and the Soviet Un
ion is not going to risk a failure.
The Kremlin is having sec
ond thoughts on the immense
cost of such a project in the face
