Heroic Efforts Made To
Save Miner Trapped In
Cave-In of Globe Mine

John Orekor, a miner, was
trapped by "a cave-in at the Buck
eye mine in the Globe district on
December 8. Another miner, who
was caught at the same time, twas
rescued a short time later, but
John, being deeper in the shaft,
was completely blocked and
hemmed in by thousands of tons
of dirt and rock.
Immediately the mine rescue
crew began frantic efforts to res
cue the man, but it soon was dis
covered that the job of rescue was
too big for the comparatively small
crew. So word went out that help
was needed. It was then found of
just what stuff these men who go
into the bowels of the earth-tfe
minerS-were made.
From all over the district miners
flocked to the scene. Many, just
coming off their regular shifts,
already tired from eight hours of
hard labor below ground, went di-
rectly to the Buckeye shaft in their
working clothes, to do what they
could to help save the life of this
miner if possible, to recover his
body If he was dead.
The tremendous task of remov-
ing the earth that had fallen and
trapped the miner can be appreci-
ated when it was reported that
the workers were removing the
muck and ore from the mine at
the rate of one mine car every
three minutes. Each car contains
from 300 to 1000 pounds. But these
miners know how to move dirt.
That is their business, and in this
case they were moving it as they
had never done before-because
one of their kind had been trapped.
Being trapped in mine is one
horror that is forever in the back
of miners head. He never knows
when he enters shaft when that
horror will happen to him. That
he never shows fear is a tribute
to the men who dig the ores from
the hills of Arizona, the ores that
are the foundation of the states
beginning, and which is still an i'm
portant part of the states indus
trial life today.
It is reported that many miners
in the district, leaving their own
shift, have put in their full rest
period working in the Buckeye
shaft and then stagger back to
their regular job, while others take
their place, and many have worked
until they have fallen exhausted.
Many of the miners from other
mines were asked if they knew
Orekor, or if they were friends of
his. The answer was always the
same. No. They didn't even know
him, but he was in trouble now.
They were there to do what they
could for a fellow worker. And
the horror always lurking in their
minds, must have urged them on
on to a supreme effort to Lick this
thing that has caused the deaths
of thousands of miners. This miner
needed help. Tired, often wet,
dull-eyed from lack of rest, these
Globe miners worked to save
man from fate that is ever pres
ent in their lives.
While many thousands of, MN
ers have died in such accidents,
with the unselfish devotion of these
men to their craft, their fearless

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 26.-The American
Military Government weekly, The
Grooper," said today that secret
Geramn documents had been found
which showed Nazi plans to set up
A spy ring at the Vatican, but it
gave no indication how successful
the scheme might have been.
The paper said the documents
showed that German agents under
the guise of accredited diplomatic
representatives and scientific and
cultural missions were ordered to spy
on important visitors to the Holy
See and sound out their feelings
toward a 'Stalin-Roosevelt alli-
ance"
The paper said DR.. Rudolf Gnauk
head of the German academy
branch in Berlin, had been named
head of the project, and that his
papers showed the Nazis considered
the Vatican an ideal spot, since the
Holy See still had representatives
from all countries.
1T was a favorable meeting

last night that no facilities to house
District veterans and their families

Grams hospital and home.
A spokesman for the agency said
number of veterans had called or
visited Fort Washington yesterday

housing units were available there
to accommodate 2.400 families. The
fort lies across the Potomac River

Park and Planning Commission, at
which A. E. Demaray, associate di-
rector of the National Park Service
was said to have called the attention
of District officials to housing units
at Fort Washington
The Veterans Administration said
that 5000 soldiers had been sta
toned at the old fort at one time
but that they had lived in barracks
equipped with double decker hunks.
Since taking over the fort, the
Veterans Administration said, 18
buildings have been torn down to

While aware of an elusive and
