Throne and FeIIin Brouqht
To Top in Safety Harness

The safety harness, by which
the miners were brought to the
surface, was pulled by a winch
and cable arrangement. 1t had
been considered only for an
emergency but 1t work e d
smoothly.
H. B. Charmburg, Pennsyl-
vania secretary of mines, and
other officials changed original
plans to use a steel capsule be-
cause of a bend in the 18-inch
escape hole which caused fears
that the capsule might catch.
Asked for Prayers
When Mr.. CharmbuIy an
nounced the harness would be
used, he asked his listeners to
say a prayer for the men.
"I'm coming upl" yelled Mr..
Throne as the harness ropes
snapped taught about him.
I'm coming up!"
boy, what a ride this is"
Mr.. Throne said half way up.
At one point, when he was
stopped because a tangle de-
veloped in his communication
line and a rope, he remarked
that the ride feels like a
chutey-ch at Coney Island"
Near the top he asked, What
kind of a moon is out?"
When told there was no
moon, he quipped: mo moon?
Holy mackerel there, Andy"
When Mr.. Throne, wearing
an orange helmet and blue
coverallS laced with the lift
ing strap, hit the surface, the
crowd broke into a tumultuous
shout that pierced the night.
Cheers and Whistles
Hes up! He's up!
There were cheers an d
whistles when Mr.. Throne was
rushed past the crowd to the
waiting helicopter. He was
wrapped in a blanket and ap-
peared exhausted.
Mr.. Throne reported he had
plenty of room coming up the
shaft, so much that he was
bouncing around and hitting
the sides of the rescue hole.
Keep on goingl Keep or
going!" Mr.. Fellin shouted as

HE had no complaints except
for a swelling in his right
hand which he had bumped on
some coal and suffered lacera-
tons"
Ira Mills, State commissioner
Of hospitals who had arranged
the news conference, said he
was told by Mr.. Fellin and Mr..
Throne that they managed to
keep warm in their 9-by-14-
foot cubicle-whefe tempera-
lures dropped to about SO de-
grees-by breathing on each
others backs and masSaging
each others legs.
DR.. Fedullo said Mr.. Fellin
had suffered quite a swelling
of the feet due to the GOODNESS
in the mine but it was really
nothing and could be attributed
to the fact he was older.
Doctors said both men will
be kept in the hospital for
about a week for clinical
reasons.
DR.. SaraS said he asked Mr..
Throne what he thought about
in the mine and Mr.. Throne
replied that in the beginning
it was food because for the
first six days there was moth
ing at all to eat.
Contact was not made with
Mr.. Fellin and Mr.. Throne I'M
til almost six days after the
cave-in. Then shortly before
midnight on August 10 a g.
inch lifeline hole reached
them. Food and other supplies
were dropped to them through
this hole.
DR.. Fedullo said that Mr..
Fellin, q Roman Catholic, sis
a spiritual man and he CMr.
Fellin) thinks 1t was a prime
factor In coming through"
He said Mr.. Fellin told him
that after the first seven
days he was confident he
would come out safe. He said
he prayed"
Mr.. Fellin was given a ham,
burger, soup and coffee while
Mr.. Throne had a hamburger
with all the trimmings, two
bottles Of beer and a stogie.

Houses "bitter experience" in
a railroad labor crisis Of 1916.
2 Hours Of Debate
In 1946, the House rushed to
pass a railroad seizure bill pro-
posed by President Truman.
The dispute was settled before
the bill got to the Senate, and
many members of the House
regretted voting unnecessarily
for the controversial legisla-
ton. House leaders do not want
to get burned again.
The Rules Committee pro-
vided for two hours of debate
on the bill, and allowed for
amendments from the floor.
With the strike deadline less
than 48 hours away, the legis-
lative timetable was too tight
for comfort, so congressional
pressure built up for post
ponement of the showdown
scheduled for 1901 am. Thurs
day.
Management leaders said
past postponements Of the
showdown by the railroads
have strengthened the union
position, so industry executives
are against further delays.
Demonstrators Warned
Railroad spokesman also
warned that some civil rights
demonstrators may be stranded
between here and their home
towns after tomorrow's march
on Washington, If there is a
strike.
Regular and chartered trains
will end their runs at the next
major terminals If they are en-
route at the time Of a strike,

the surface at 2:41. His rescue
took 8 minutes and is seconds.
Although grimy, both men
appeared in good shape when
they reached the surface.
The men were examined in
a first aid tent, then quickly
removed by two helicopters to

them. In addition to medical
examinations, authorities
planned a series of tests spe-
officially designed to give re-
searchers an assist in dealing
with survival problems.
The wives of both men were
waiting for them at the hospi-
tai. Although they had kept a
constant vigil and visited the
rescue operation frequently, it
was decided they would wait at
the hospital when the final lift
was made.

the spokesman said. That is,
a train bound for Chicago
might discharge passengers at
Pittsburgh.
Demonstrators bound for
New York or other nearby
points probably could make it
home. But those returning to
distant destinations might be
stranded.
Some railroads may, if neces-
sary, try to complete chartered
runs with crews composed of
supervisory personnel. Such
plans are uncertain, spokesman
said.
Approved Yesterday
The Rules Committee cleared
a bill approved yesterday by the
House Commerce Committee.
1t would prohibit the railroads
from imposing new job-cutting
work rules unilaterally, and
would forbid the unions to
strike over these issues.
The bill would establish a
seven-member arbitration board
to make binding decisions
effective for up to two years
on the two key issues. These
involve management demands
for authority to remove fire
men from freight and yard
diesel engines, and to reduce
the size Of train crews.
Rulings by the arbitration
board would be due within 80
days Of the bills enactment.
and would take effect so days
later.
The bill would make no pro-
vision for disposing of sub
sidiary issues if negotiations
failed to achieve voluntary
agreements.
The Senate was scheduled to
vote today on an amendment
by Senator MCGEE, Democrat
OF Wyoming, to bring the
Senate Commerce Committees
bill into line with the House
committees measure.
To do this, the MCGEE
amendment would delete from
the Senate committees bill
provisions for binding arbitra-
ton of subsidiary issues if
negotiations failed to settle
them.
Apparent Strong Support :.
Although some Senators fear
that the subsidiary issues will
revive strike threats early next
year, unless they are settled
now by arbitration, the MCGEE
amendment appeared to have
strong support.
1t is favored by the unions,
which want to limit the scope
Of binding arbitration to the
two key issues involving fire.
men and crew sizes.
They also would like to delay
implementation Of arbitration
ruling on these two issues until
settlement of the subsidiary
issues through collective bar
gaining, but they have won
little support for this proposal.
Either the Senate or House
bill would be acceptable to
railroad management.
Senate Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, planned to push tvs
alternative formulas.
Senator Morse's first pro-
posal was q modified version of
the bill originally recon-
mended by President Kennedy
last month. 1t would establish
a seven-member board to rec
ommend settlement terms on
all issues to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The
ICC could accept or modify
the recommendations and
make them binding.
AS an alternative, Senator
Morse proposed a bill to sub
NIT unresolved issues to a spe-
cial board for recommends
tons.
If the railroads rejected the
recommendations and put diff
ferent work rules into effect,
provoking a strike, the Presi-
dent could seize enough of the
railroad system to maintain
essential services.

SAIGON. Wet Nam, Aug. 81.
United States Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge conferred
for more than 2 hours today
with Ngo Dinh Nhu, the in
fluential younger brother of
President Ngo Dinh Diem, on
South Wet Mans POLITICAL
religious crisis.
They met at the request of
Mr.. Nhu, who heads the secret
police.
Whatever the trend Of the
discussion, there were indica-
tons the strict army rule of
Saigon was relaxing, even
though the people we're warned
soldiers have orders to shoot
into any illegal gatherings.
Election Postponed
Continued tension was re-
Elected in poStponement of a
National Assembly election
scheduled for next Saturday.
The official Wet Nam Press
Agency announced in a broad
cast dispatch Mr.. Diem has
ordered the election put off
until further notice.
The National Assembly has
little real authority. The out
going house of 1913 members
was elected in August, 1859.
Relaxation of martial law
was suggested by lifting Of the
Saigon curfew and according
to the Wet Nam Press Agency,
in some provincial towns.
Barbados Removed
Barbed wire barbados were
removed from the uptown area
where Saigon University's fac
ulties Of law. medicine and
pharmacy are situated. Teach
ers were notified that schools
and universities, closed last
week end, may reopen soon.
Civilian censors Supplanted
military censors in processing
news dispatches relayed abroad,
On the other hand, there
were increased troop concen-
trationS in downtown Saigon.
The open plaza in front of the
city hall and the adjoining
United States Inform a tion
Service Building was crowded
with armed soldiers. Maximum
security precautions remained
in force around the presidential
palace.
Warning on Suicides
Unsigned posters, apparently
drawn up by military authori-
ties, appeared on building
walls. Referring indirectly to
five Buddhist deaths by fire
and to an antigovernment
movement among university
students that led to many ar
rests Sunday, they said:
Those who try to call on
people to commit suicide or in
duce youths to do anything
wrong in order to exploit them
later are traitors to the Wet
Namese people and will be Sc
verely punished"
Yesterday, Mr.. Lodge pre-
sented his credentials to Mr.
Diem and conferred twice with
the president. He carried a
note from President Kennedy
spelling out United States views
on the Wet Namese crisis.
Curb on Uprisings
Mr.. Lodge arrived in Saigon
