Lost Boys Recovered From Coal Mine Vill Think Twice Before Next Jaunt PITTSBURGH 'UPlt-For the rest of the summer Danny O'Kain. Billy Burke and Bobby Abbott will ride their bikes, go swimming or play baseball. "No more mines for us," said 14-year-old Bobby. "We had enough of that for the rest of our lives." Burke, 13. looked up from the comic pages to nod agreement. "We sure did," he said. The boys share a room in St. Clair Memorial Hospital. They communicate frequently by tele phone with O'Kain, 13, who is in another room. The boys are re covering from their ordeal of be ing lost for two days in an aban doned coal mine in nearby Castle Shannon. The youngsters appear more in terested in making plans for the summer than they do in discuss- High Schools Prefer Bands To Orchestras INTER. LOCHEN, Mich. IUPI) Most of the nation's high (schools are without orchestras be cause publicity-minded education officials prefer well-drilled bands playing at football games, accord ing to Dr. Joseph E. Maddy. The founder and head of the National Music Camp at Intcr lochen and of the new Interlochen Arts Academy, made it clear he is not opposed to school bands. He has organized quite a few of them himself. But he does feel the kind of music training given in high school orchestras also is needed if fulure demands for skilled musicians are to be met. Maddy gave an interview marking publication of his bio graphy, "Joe Maddy of Inter lochen," written by Norma Lee Browning, a Chicago Tribune re porter who is turning all her royalties from the book over to Maddy to help finance formation of an International Youth Sym phony. The biography, marking Maddy's 35th anniversary at In terlochen, reviews his sometimes turbulent career as the "pied pi per of American music," but right now Maddy would rather talk about the future. It is his conviction that auto mation eventually will set off a cultural explosion in this country, with more people than ever be fore becoming artists, musicians, writers and dancers. The arts, in turn, will serve as a major means of helping to solve the un employment problems created by automation, in his opinion. After 50 years of .dumping the nation in behalf of music educa tion, Maddy still is searching as hard as ever for new talent. He has been encountering a few problems lately, however. For one thing, he says, not enough young people are learning to play the violin, and the string bass as the least popular mstru- ment of all. The flute seems to be too popular. Maddy turns away more flute players than any other musicians who apply for admission to his camp and preparatory school. There is a shortage of budding Beethovens and Bachs he finds. Most of the young people who try to write music are falling short of the mark, in his opinion, because too many of them try j to start -with symphonies, which j are the most difficult pieces of music to compose, instead of be ginning with something simple and advancing by degrees. However, the development of new talent through the group training offered by high school orchestras would be the most useful step forward, as far as Maddy is concerned. ing their miraculous rescue. Mrs. Abbott told her son: "There must have been a gold en angel on each of your shoul ders to save you from that mine." Bobby and Danny may be re leased from the hospital today. nut Billy will be detained until an X-ray study is made of his chest. He complained of pains aft er stumbling in the gas-filled mine. The boys had been in the No. 2 mine of the old Castle Shannon Coal Co. twice before and thought they were familiar with the laby- nntns. "We had a map of the main tunnel," Bobby said. "We felt sure Art Seen At Vin Chateaux BORDEAUX, France (UPD The spacious rooms of one of France's great wine chateaux have become galleries for a popu lar exhibit of contemporary art. For the third year, fine artists are displaying their works at Chateau Lascombes, 15 miles north of here in the sleepy wine country village of Margaux. The summer exhibit has drawn favorable notices from Paris critics and the crowds who wind their way through the vineyards and gardens of Lascombes attest to its popular appeal. The exhibit, with the theme "La Vigne et le Vin" (the wine and the vinei, has attracted works of contemporary artists from France, Italy, the United States, Britain, Japan, Greece, Australia, Israel, Spain, Argentina, Belgium, Lith uania Holland and Germany. Visitors who come to Lascombes to view and possibly buv the art works are invited to the famed chateau's wine cellars to sample its ruDy vintages. The exhibit will remain open to the public until October, accord ing to Alexis Lichine who organi zed it. Licnine, an American; is a leading exporter of French wines in addition to heading the society which now controls famed Chateau Lascombes and its great vine yards. The current year is the third for the art show which appears to be becoming an annual classic. The intital exhibit in 1961 featured only French artists. Last year, contempory Italian painters showed their works. This year the exhibit has become truly Interna tional and its scope has been broadened to include, in addition to paintings, sculpture, ceramics. mosasics and tapestries. we Knew our way around. J. A. Blackman, deputy state secretary of mines, said the open entrance to the mine will be walled up with cement and filled in by a bulldozer. A team of mine rescue experts. refreshed after a daylong rest following an ordeal which began Thursday night and ended at 5 p.m., Saturday, were still baffled by the discovery. Thomas J. McDonald, supervis or of the Pittsburgh office of the Bureau of Mines and his aides, Samuel Cortis, Everett Turner, Jim Hutchens and Jennings Bree- don showed the pffecis of their grueling tasks. All were at the point of exhaustion when the boys were found. Despite their weariness, the rescuers planned to continue their search because of the belief of the parents that the boys were in the mine. The rescuers feared the worst. The mine, which has been shut down since 1938, was known to be filled with "black damp," a deadly combination of methane gas and carbon dioxide. And there were other hazards. The tunnels are honeycombed with rockfalls and pools of stagnant water. At first, rescuers doubted the boys had gone into the mine. But Mrs. Florence Burke, widowed mother of Billy, insisted they had gone underground. The boys' bi cycles were found outside the mine entrance. David Butler, 10, deepened her fears when he told Castle Shan non firemen Abbott had shown him a drawing of the mine. The diagram, remarkably accurate, was scribbled on the back of a bank deposit slip. Police found the crumpled dia gram in the Abbott home and searched the area described in the map but to no avail. Later, the explanation was learned. "We took a wrong turn and got lost, O'Kain said. The boys wandered around un derground, lighting their way with generator - powered lights taken from the bicycles. But when Burke injured his ribs, they de cided to stay in a small room. It was lucky they did. Here they were picked out by the light flashed by Turner, Hutchens and Breedon. "Why they're alive. I don't know," said Cortis. "But let's give credit to God." NEW CORRECTIONAL CENTER This aerial view shows the nine million dollar Con servation Center that opened in Susanville, Calif., Saturday. The center, a pioneering concept in correctional programs, will hold 1 ,200 minimum and medium security state prisoners and is designed to save men by putting them to work saving the state's nat. ural beauties. The center, first of four throughout California, will teach men how to fight fires, replant burned-over forests, combat forest insects, clear streams and per form other conservation tasks. School Kids Battle To Save Timbuctoo TLMBUCTOO, Calif. (UPI In weed-choked remnant of what once was a roaring Lainornia gold town, school children and their teacher are battling nature and time in an effort to save a chunk of history. All that remains of Timbuctoo once a bustling mining village of 1,200 population located be tween Grass Valley and Marys- villc in California's Sacramento Valley is a Wells Fargo agency. This is the building that John Maver and his fifth grade stu dents at Lone Tree School are trying to save. The students are children of personnel at Beale Air Force: Base. Sad Shape Their building is in sad shape. Weather and souvenir hunters have chipped away, leaving holes in the walls. Tourists scratched their names on the ravaged brick. And a sea of weeds and bushes threatened to engulf the structure. Last January, Mayer's class voted to do something to stop the death-by-inches of the town's lone survivor. They were told: "Go to t h e government, go to the bank, go to some agency for help. "But we felt it should be pos sible for individuals to group to gether and accomplish something on their own." Mayer said. They began to search for aid by letter. Fifth graders took turns writing superintendents in schools throughout the state asking them to ask other students to help with money-making projects. Ask For Brick They wrote surrounding coun ties to ask for a brick or stone from a historic building to trans plant to the crumbling agency. They baked and sold 1.800 cup cakes nearly $'.K) worth.

Mayer said response to their ef forts has been enthusiastic, but actual contributions and pledges of volunteer help disappointing By t'nilcd Press International The next few weeks probablvi will provide important clues to the route the desegregation move-l ment will follow in the immedi-1 ate future. Two factors are critical: Can Negro leaders be per suaded to declare a moratorium on street demonstrations during the weeks it will take to consider a strong new civil rights bill now before Congress" Can Negro groups settle their differences and join forces in one unified drive (or the "civil rights" they are demanding? president Kennedy has pro posed a bill that would for the first time guarantee access hv Negroes to privately owned fncil ities such as hotels and restau rants which generally are used by the public traveling across! state lines. The Senate Commerce Committee has started or phase of the bill. Negro leaders arc under the strongest pressure from both the President and Ally. Gen. Robert Kennedy to call off racial dem onstrations while the measure is under consideration. So far, the attitude of majori groups running the nationwide desegregation campaign has been completely negative to any pro- pnsal, even from the White House, for a moratorium on "di rect action" demonstrations. In keeping with their "no truce" policy Negro groups are moving ahead with plans for a massive demonstration in the na tion's capital Aug. 28, timed when they expect the bill to hit the Senate floor. They say the dem onstration would point up the ur-l geniy of passing the bill and would be a deterrent to an ex pected Southern filibuster. Kennedy administration off i- ials, sympathetic with the Negro cause, have warned that a major demonstration could have just thp opposite effect. Administration Democrats know they will need strong bipartisan support to shut off debate on the bill. They don't think they could attract much Republican interest and mighti lose some from the Democratic side if demonstrations outside are being used to pressure con gressmen inside. Negroes speak of promoting a crowd of 100.000 demonstrators. Granted the figure is optimistic, a crowd even half that size would present a monumental problem at best and a possible riot at worst. Who among the Negro leader ship would be responsible for the conduct of such a crowd? Many groups, principally the NAACP, have found it necessary to campaign for Negro support. Rep. Charles C. Diggs, D-Mich., Negro congressman, proposed a "summit meeting" of Negro or ganizations "where we start con centrating on objectives and for get the differences which may ex ist among our leadership with re spect to the pace and approach."
