PEINE, Germany (UPI) -A mechanical flaw in the rescue rig today condemned three trapped iron miners to spend another night in their air - bub ble 262 feet underground. The mining company mana ger said the three men who have spent seven days in the flooded mine could not be res cued before Friday. Rescuers originally had hoped to bring the miners to the sur face today. Manager Rudolf Stein of the llseder Mine Company said a balky airlock was holding up rescue efforts. With drilling halted 65 feel from the trapped miners, res cue workers struggled to fasten the airlock atop the borehole through which they planned to bring the men out in a torpedo shaped rescue capsule. Sudden Rush Unless the airlock seal is pressure-tight, the men could drown in a sudden rush of flood water from below when the gi ant American-made drill breaks through to them and allows high pressure air in their cham ber to escape. The rescue drilling was being conducted in two partially-completed emergency shafts each 28 inches wide. It had been held up earlier to await the harden ing of concrete lining around the steel shaft casings.

Castro, in a two hour and 40- minute television and radio broadcast to the nation, cited the capture of agents, possibly Canadians working for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and exile raiders as proof that U.S. foreign policy is "hypocritical. He compared the incidents with the U2 affair of 1960, when Russia announced it had shot down U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers over the Soviet Union. Apparently going on what he had learned from interrogating captured exile raiders, Castro named the vessel "Rex" as the '"mother ship" of an Oct. 21 landing attempt on Cuba's south coast, described the vessel and said it was based at west Palm Beach. A vessel named the Rex and painted blue, as Castro said, was found tied up at the port of Palm Beach, just north of west Palm Beach. It was regis tered from Nicaragua, whose government is strongly anti Castro and, unofficially, has be friended anti-Castro Cuban ex ile groups. Castro said the Rex was the CIA's boat and had been used in at least 10 raids against Cuba. The CIA in Washington had no comment either on Castro's speech or the vessel. Castro did not identify by na tionality the five men he said were captured in the Oct. 21 landing attempt, which came the same night the American owned freighter J. Louis said it was attacked by Cuban planes in an area close to where Castro placed the landing at tempt. Castro said the landing inci dent "uncovers the policy of the United States and the proce dures which they employ and the cheap ideology with which they try to defend their social system." Four Astronaut Flights Cancelled WASHINGTON (UPI) -In a move to save money and speed other projects in the U.S. moon landing program, the federal space agency is eliminating four scheduled astronaut flights. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said Wednesday Wat the re phasing" of the manned flight missions should advance the date for launching of the space craft designed to carry a man I to Ihe moon ine agency said mat tne can cellation of the four flights would save about $50 million and help NASA stay within the space budget recently author ized by Congress.

Court Can Not Hold Election for Board The Jackson County Court would not be authorized to sponsor an election for direc tors of the Rock Point Ceme tery board, according to a legal opinion submitted to the Coun ty Court by Deputy District Attorney Thomas Owens. The cemetery group had sub mitted petitions to the County Court signed by residents of the Gold Hill area requesting that the County Court hold an election for the three cemetery directors in the town of Gold Hill. An order signed by an earlier County Court did not provide for continuity of the directors, the petitions stated. Owens' opinion stated the County Court can sponsor such ai election when the initial re quirements for forming a ceme tery district are met. However. the petitions submitted did not come under the state law pro visions applying to cemetery districts, Owens stated. A cemetery district must in clude at least 4,000 acres or in clude land with an assessed valuation of at least $200,000, Owens explained. that he should have paid la; , k p ui( , u,Cr answer, the Heffas claimeal thoss payments were- lot subject U taxa-tioti m jraM(I (4y wars sithor 1-a.v-aximpi - ei (J;-j and hwcps Nry nxpeiwos connccM with fcvHt kiMW-Rw ac a union office?.

No. 192 Along Strip Fighting Breaks Out Despite Pact For Cease-Fire Algerians Attack At Three Points RABAT, Morocco (UPI) Fierce new fighting raged today between Algerian and Moroccan forces along their disputed bor der despite a cease-fire agree ment that comes into effect Fri day. Moroccan King Hassan II re turned home from Bamako, Mali, where he signed the cease-fire arrangement Wednes day with Algerian President Ahmed Ben Bella. An announcement said that Algerian troops launched at tacks at three points in the western Sahara in the past 24 hours and said fighting 13 still going on. The battles took place to the north of Colomb Bechar, Al geria, near the village of Ich; at Djcbel El Hammar in the Ksar Es Souk Province 1F.0 miles southwest of Colomb Be char; and at Ain Char, about 80 miles west of Figiug. AH are points along the disputed bor der in areas where unexploited mineral resources reportedly have been found. Government sources said all three attacks were pushed back and that the Algerians suffered heavy losses. Moroccans at Ain Bechar reportedly captured 40 Algerian paratroopers. The .sources said all three battle sites were "clearly in Moroccan territory." The bat tle of Ich was 600 miles to tha north of Hassi Bcida and Tinn joub, the tiny desert oases which were the scenes of orig inal clashes between the two countries three weeks ago. (In Algiers early today the Algerian government also an nounced that fighting still wan going on. It said that Algerian forces had recaptured much of the ground that Moroccans had captured in the three weeks of fighting. An Algerian report from Co lomb Bechar quoted a military leader as saying, "we will fight until the cease-fire goes into ef fect." Despite the settlement on paper engineered through the mediation of Emperor Haile Se lassie of Ethiopia and President Modibo Kcita of Mali both sides appeared to be pressing the battle along the vaguely marked frontier in hopes of gaining advantages right up to the moment the cease-fire takes effect. Holmer to Return As Finance Director ALBUQUERQUE, N M. (UPI) Freeman Holmer said today he will return to his duties as Oregon director of finance and administration prior to the Ore gon legislature's special session next month. Holmer took a leave of ab sence from his post earlier this month to conduct a market sur vey for a private firm. He is in Albuquerque attending the Western Conference of the Coun cil on State Governments. "Initial findings of the survey did not warrant a recommenda tion to the firm that the survey be completed at this time," Hoi mer said today. "Accordingly, I have request ed and Governor Hatfield has granted a termination of by leave of absence in time lo par ticipate in preparations for the special legislative sessions scheduled for Nov. 11." ine tax on that would be $54,001.85. The tax proceeding is civil, not criminal. Ifl addition, the government said that Hoffa claimed $10,000 ( much in a capital loss earryover deduction from 1958 to 19S!) in connection with the sale of the lloffns' interest in JoH Properties.
