LOAN FROM FRANCE
D. c. to See Mona Lisa
BY FRANK GETLEIN
star Art Critic

The most famous painting IN
the world, Leonardo da Vinci's
Mona Lisa, has been lent to
the United States for a brief
period. and will be exhibited
in Washington, the French En-
bassy said today.
The picture. long the prime
target for every visitor to Paris,
is expected to arrive in this
country at the end Of DeceIn-
Der or early in January" 1t
also will be seen in New York.
The Washington exhibition,
at the National Gallery Of Art
Is expected TO open by the end
Of January.
The loan was arranged by
French Minister Of Culture An
DIRE Malraux. On a visit TO
Washington last May he told a
press conference that he would
attempt the loan which has
now been announced.
The Mona Lisa Is q small
portrait. just 80 inches high,
and is supposed 10 be OF the
wife OF q Florentine, Francesca
di Zanou del Giocondo. The
background Of the picture Is
suffused in Leonardo's sfumato,
O misty effect. Translation OF
that mist into O woman's face,
with the faintest OF smiles, Is
widely held TO be the secret OF
the fascination the Mona Lisa
has exerted on all who have
seen II for the last $50 years.
Leonardo worked about four
years on the portrait. interrupt
ing II with other tasks, artistic,
scientific and military. The
artist, who was accorded the
title Of the universal man, en-
tered the service OF the French
King Francis I, and took the
portrait with him TO France

Gas Slows Rescuers of 81
Trapped by Mine Blast

The first indication Of any,
thing wrong in the pit was the
reported failure of an electric
exhaust fan. 1t blew out at
/ pm. but was repaired in 10
minutes. Five minutes later
it conked out again.
Mr.. Girod, said the first
crews down the shaft de-
tected dust coming from all d.
Irections, indicating an explo-
sion or fire.
The major problem for the
rescue teams was to pump the
bad air out and clean air in
Concrete walls used for ventila-
ton shafts that buckled under
the blast slowed progress.
Inside a corrugated steel
shack above the surface some
three dozen relatives of the
trapped miners waited in bitter
wintry weather for news. Will
liam Hribal, who retired before
an explosion at the mine last
October killed two men, said
II never seen anything like
this" His son. James, 80, Is
one of those missing.
Leslie Worthington, presi-
dent of U. 8. Steel, expressed
the fervent hope that the men
will be found alive and well
by rescue teams working SO
hard to reach them.
Snow and ice created mon
strous traffic jams on roads
leading to the mine. Some
cars skidded into bitches: 9TH
ers stalled.
The mine was opened in
1916 and has produced as much
as 10000 tons OF coal a day
enough to heat more than
1000 homes for an entire win
ter. In recent months the
mine has worked only three
days a week.

they are instructed to lie on the

50 Miles From Pittsburgh
James Girod, an assistant
superintendent Of the mine, said
last night, The place where
this happened was in a con-
fined area, we think. The men
could have barricaded them
selves If they had warning. How
long they can hold out I don't
know.

worlds largest soft coal opera
tons. is located about so miles
southwest Of Pittsburgh. 1t pro-

is processed into coke for blast
furnaces.
The shaft drops straight
down SIS feet from the sur
face. At this point there is
one downward sloping tunnel
without branches extending for
two miles to the working face.
The tunnel drops gradually
from 525 feet to $50 feet,
That's the point where the
men are trapped. There is only
one exit from there to the sur
face.
Fan Gave First Warning
Mine officials said air CON-
ing up from the mine shaft
contains large amounts Of car
bon dioxide, indicating there is
fire In the blast area. Rescue
teams proceeded cautiously.

Kennedy Visits
SAC Quarters
On Quick Tour
Nebraska Base
Is Initial Stop
On Trip West
BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

OMAHA, Nebr., Dec. 7.-Pres-
ident Kennedy visited the nerve
center Of this Nations retalia-
tory might today.
He arrived at Offutt Air Force
Base near here at 9:55 am.
(CST) after a 21a-hour flight
from Washington. He was
preceded by Vice President
Johnson. who arrived from the
Capital in another jet at 9:38
am. Under strict Secret Service
security policy, the Nations
two top leaders never travel
together.
There was symbolism in Mr..
Kennedy's visit here on the 21st
anniversary of Pearl Harbor
Offutt is headquarters of the
Strategic Air Command, which
is devoted to deterring another
such sneak attack, or to insuring
quick and fierce retaliation If
one should occur.
SAC Chief on Hand
Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC
commander in chief, met Mr..
Kennedy when the Chief Ex-
ecutive's big blue-and-white Jet
pulled up to a roped-off area
about a mile from SAC's under
ground headquarters.
Mr.. Kennedy climbed into ar
open convertible for the short
drive TO SAC's. subterranear
command post. He was bare,
headed. although the Their.
mometer registered only on,
ldegree above freezing.
The motorcade had barely
begun when the Chief Execu.
tive reverted to his campaign
trail ways. His car stopped
and he clambered out to per-
sonally greet a crowd of several
hundred Air Force wives and
youngsters lined up behind q
restraining rope. For several
minutes, he walked in front OF
the crowd, grabbing hands
thrust at him from all direc-
tons and occasionally stopping
to ask a wife about her hus-
bands military duties.
Briefed on Strength
Behind closely guarded doors
in SAC's underground COM
mand post, Mr.. Kennedy heard
Gen. Powers and others in the
command substantiate SAC's
boast that I'VE can put a bomb
on targets anywhere-any-
time"
He was given a detailed in
ventory Of SAC's airborne
might, which is generally
known to include 900 or more
BAT bombers, over 800 B-52s,
about 100 B-58s and a large

The blast was the second in

increased to where a road which
would have cost $50, 600 in 1o49
now costs approximately $4,000
per mile, so the amount provided
in the Act is not sufficient to do
the job.
In addition to the increase cost
of present day construction, no one
foresaw the traffic potent al on both
Routes and 3. The traffic picture
on Route 3. which goes from Win
dow Rock, through the Hope Res
ervation. to Tuba City, however,
could develop some startling fig
ures on traffic forecasts on this
route also. The estimates of cost
upon which funds we're provided in
the Act we're based on County
Type" roads, largely gravel, and
certainly we're not based on State
Highway primary standards. which
are the standards that will be
required to adequately carry an
ticipated traffic. Wider roadways,
heavier bases, longer sight dis
tances, higher design speed, etc.
will be required, which will again
force costs up. In view of the FORE
going, the Central Office ordered
us to quit work on Route 1, since
State Highway standards were
required, and we are not in the
blu siness of building State
Highways.
Apparently pressure began to
build up on members of Congress
to have Routes 1 and 3 built to
state standards, and turn them over
to the State of Arizona for main
tenance and future construction.
During the summer of 1857 Sena-
tor Hayden visited Window Rockfor
the sole purpose of discussing the
entire Navajo Road Program. and
Routes and in particular.
On November 26. 1857, the
Watchdog Committee, Senator
Anderson, Senator Goldwater,
Congressman Rhodes, and Con-
gresham Udall, held hearing In
Gallup. This hearing was primar-
lily concerned with roads and Routes
1 and 3 in particular. The Com
mittee was informed that 81 6, ,OOO,-
GOO would be required for Route1,
and 1000, 900 for Route 8, to
bring the roads to standards ac-
ceptable to the State of Arizona.
Senator Anderson introduced a bill
in the Senate, and Congressman
Udall introduced a companion bill

increased the total authorization
from $88, $40, 600 to $1O8. $40. 600,
