Chapel Deep
In Earth To
Be Dedicated
BY =. J. PLAZA

BOGOTA, Colombia R-Within
a vaulted chamber 345 feet be-
meath the earth'S surface and near
ly a mile inside an ancient salt
mine, a great Roman Catholic
church will be dedicated TO-
morrow.
The ceremony climaxeS a pro-
ject which began five years ago
when the Colombian government
ordered a modest chapel carved
inside the cavernous, billion-tou
mountain of salt at Zipaquira, near
Bogota.
The chapel blosSomed into q
great, electrically illumined cathe-
dral capable Of holding 10000
persons.
More than 10000 are expected
tomorrow for the dedication, which
will be attended . by President
Gustavo Rojas Pinina and high
church officials. The entire under
ground cathedral viii be lit up by
150, 900 watts of concealed lighting.
The church was originally
planned for the benefit of Colombo
an miners who have been digging,
little inches in the salt crust for
nearly a century and placing re-
igiouS images within them.
But, as the architect, Jose Maria
Gonzalez Concha, began charting
plans inside the 70-foot-high salt
lined caverns, he envisaged q
monumental church available to
outside worshippers as well.
The church, believed unique m
the Western Hemisphere, has been
named after Our Lady Of the
Rosary, tn miners patron saint.
Although still unfinished, it has be-
come a landmark and attracts
nearly 10000 visitors q month.
To reach the church, tourists
drive through a portal hacked in
the mountainSide by the Spanish
conquistadores 400 years ago.
Nearly a mile inside the vaulted
galleries, supported by massive
pillars of salt, they can park al
most within view of themainal-
wooden cross, nearly 5000 feet
above sea level.
The church is in a mine gallery
that has not been worked for near
~ 20 years.
Above the church is a layer of
salt 275 feet deep, and below, $40
feet more salt. The main floors
are lined with earthen, kiln-dried
tile. The walls are earth-black-
ened salt:

Two Coins In

Much Trouble

COATESVILLE, Pa. IN - Two
coins in the folder, fixed 10 hide
all the slugs. =.
It was 4 good trick, good enough
to net three Coatesville men some
easy mones for a while. But a wi
ley bank teller finally tripped them
up.
The three were arrested yester-
day on charges Of wrapping iron
washers In coin folders and pass
ing them as quarters at banks.
Each wrapped stack was capped
at either end with 4 good quarter
and contained 80 washers in be-
tween. Bank tellers exchanged the
rolls for paper money-$10 each
without checking further.
Police said the trio passed the
bogus rolls at banks In West
Chester and Oxford, Pa, then
tried their luck at the National
Bank Of Christiana, Lancaster
County.
But 4 suspicious teller, whose
name was not revealed, refused
the transaction and noted the IL
cense number of the trio's car.
State police traced the license
to Alfred J. Zazo, 20, a former
basketball star at Coatesville High
School. Sgt. Thomas Dooner of the
State Police said Zazo confessed
and implicated Anthony S. Chile,
Is, and William D. Mann, 22, all
of Coatesville. They were charged
with obtaining money under false
pretenSes.

COAL CITY, Ill. Up Five men,
bers of one family were killed last
night in the collision of a speed
ing Santa Fe freight train and an
automobile loaded with 10 persons.
The Grundy County sheriffs Of
flee said members of two Central
City, ILL.,, families were crammed
into the auto. +.
Deputies said the car drove
through a wig-wag warning signal
at the crossing on Coal City's main
street, so miles southwest of Chi
cago, and continued directly into
the path of the westbound train.
The speeding train knocked the
car against the wig-wag signal on
the opposite side of the tracks. The
passengers in the car, including
several small children, were
thrown out.
-Four persons were killed ut the
scene, and the fifth died enroute
to hospital.

car, Howard Barnes, SO, escaped
with minor injuries. The train was
delayed briefly.
Grundy County Coroner Clark
Davie said all the dead were mem
bers Of Barnes family. He identi-
fled them as Barnes wife Clara
Mae, 80; his son, Howard. Jr.. 4.
and his daughters Irene, IL, Edna.
IL, and Wilma, 8.

Eugene Field was an incor-

was working on a Chicago
newspaper, a new sports
writer was added. The new
mer, an authority on
horses, had an uncanny
ability to pick winners.
One morning. Field took
a piece of chalk and drew
horseshoes on the sidewalk,
in the lobby and up the
sairs to the door of the new
writer.
Soon after, one Of the
boys from the track came up
to talk to the sports writer.
Superstitious, like most horse
players, his eyes opened wide
when he saw the hoof prints.
When the writer opened the
door, the visitor pointed at
them and gulped.
