In today's case, Negroes In

charged responsibility for fight
ing in North Katanga squarely
to Mr.. Tshombe.
The secretary generals plan

with the central government

Mr.. Tshombe refuses to accept
the plan. Later phases include
possible use Of economic boy
cots and, as a last resort, the
use Of armed force. In a recent
report, Mr.. Gardiner said the
time had come to start placing
more stress on these steps.
"All the fighting and destIuc-
ton is a result Of the Katangan
secession, and therefore you may
say that Tshombe is responsible
by definition" a U. N. spokes-

CARMICHAELs, Pa. Dec. 10
CAP. A rescue team sighted
nine more bodies today in an
explosion-rocked coal mine tun-
mel. bringing to 16 the number
Of miners accounted for and
leaving 81 still missing.
The bodies were sighted in
an area $40 feet in advance

1.758 feet from where a tre-
mendous blast occurred Thurs
day afternoon at United States

mine.
Previously, the highest num-
Der of bodies located at one
time was two. This indicated,
officials said, that rescuers were
penetrating into an area where
most of the trapped miners
were working about $50 feet
underground at the face Of the
mine.
System Disrupted
A United States Steel spokes-
man said the mines ventila-
ton system in the area where
the latest bodies were sighted
is completely disrupted"
He added that repairs to the
ventilating system will take
considerable time, and 1t will
be a while before it is posi-
BILE to recover the bodies"
Rescue workers recovered six
bodies yesterday and one on
Saturday from the soft coal
mine situated almost so miles
southwest of Pittsburgh.
The Rev. Andrew Horvath of
Point Marion, a Roman Cath
ole priest who gave last rites
of his church to some Of the
victims in a makeshift morgue
in rescue headquarters, said
some of the bodies were badly
mangled.
Death instantaneous
DR.. David Tingle, district
medical director for United
States Steel and Frank ].
Beehm. Greene County coroner,
said death was instantaneous"
in referring to the first seven
bodies recovered.
There was no evidence of
any suffering" he said. He said
the force of the blast caused
the deaths.

tons manager for United

James Girod, assistant super
intendent Of Prick district, said
rescue work is continuing with
the hope that there may be
some men alive even though
your hope may be only ! per

He said the operation was
proceeding at a somewhat fast
er pace because the crews were
encountering smaller quantities
of methane gas.
No Fires Encountered
He also said rescue crews
didn't encounter any fires in

There were 10 rescue crews
