HAZLETON. Pa, Aug. %
AP)-Drilling or new es-
cape hole for three trapped
miners reached q point today
where two of the men reported
they could hear the drill.
The rescue crews slowed the
pace of the giant drilling rig,
which stands 10 stories high,
and proceeded cautiously
around the 30O-foot level.
They asked David Fellin, So,

a close watch on the ceiling

81 Billion !.
Cut Passes,
pa to 1876
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
star staff Writer


The House passed a foreign
aid authorization bill today by
a margin of only 80 votes after
slaShing an estimated 81 bill
lion from the original SAL bill
lion total.
The vote sending the meas
ure to the Senate was 224 to
1876. The earlier vote adopting
a Republican move to cut the
bills money authorization total
was 800 to 1888.
House members differed
among themselves as to
whether the cut voted today
would be as much as 81 billion
in view of some previous
authorizations and provisions
which might hold it to about
$500 million for the current
fiscal year.
In any event, the success Of
the Republican move with the
aid Of many Southern Demo-
cratic conservatives, appeared
to be a shock and surprise to
the bills supporters. Amend
ments adopted during the last
three days had not reduced any
of the money authorizations but
frightened restrictions On aid
to countries trading with Cuba.
Alliance Affected
Affected by the cut were
authorization for the Develop
ment Loan Fund, the Alliance
for Progress, military assistance
to friendly overseas nations
and the Presidents foreign aid
contingency fund.
Amendments adopted yester-
day did not reduce any Of
the money authorizations but
frightened restrictions on aid
to countries trading with Cuba.
The first vote today was on
a Republican motion to send
the entire bill back to the
Foreign Affairs Committee
with instructions to cut money
authorizations by q total OF
$1,025, 000, 900.
That reduction trimmed $500
million dollars from the
Development Loan Fund for
economic help mainly to UNDER
developed countries; $3.50 mill
lion from the Alliance for
Progress program in South
America, 1925 million from
military assistance and $50
million from the contingency
fund.
The size Of the reduction
came as a surprise. Repub-
lican critics of the bill indicated
earlier today that on their in
tended recommittal motion

said their side will oppose it
on that basis.
The bill specifically would
preserve the status quo during
the work of the arbitration
board and during the life OF
the boards rulings.
Management would be pro-
hibited from changing the
work rules unilaterally, and the
unions would be barred from
striking over these issues.

legislation to block a Ma
tion-wide railroad strike sched-
uled for next Thursday was
approved by the Senate Com
merce Committee today.
The bill, slated for Senate
action Monday, would estab-
lish a seven-member arbitra-
ton board to make binding de-
cisions on two key issues
railroad demands for authority
to remove firemen from freight
and yard diesel engines and
to reduce the size Of train
crews.
Other issues would be left
for negotiations between the
unions and the railroads for q
limited period. If the parties
failed to achieve a voluntary
settlement of these subsidiary
issues, the arbitration board
would take over and make
binding rulings.
Hope to Beat DeadIine
Members of the Commerce
Committee expressed hope that
Congress will complete action
on the legislation in time to
beat the deadline for a strike
at 1901 am. next Thursday.
Chairman Magnuson, Demo-
crat Of Washington, and SEN
ator Pastore, Democrat of
Rhode Island, urged the rail-
roads to delay the showdown
for a few days beyond the
deadline II Congress still is
debating the legislation by mid
night Wednesday.
The House Commerce Com.
mittee hopes to have a bill
ready for clearance by the
House Rules Committee or
Tuesday. If the Senate passe:

hope Congress can complete
action before the strike dead

This probably will take another
80 hours.
A mechanical breakdown
stalled the operation shortly
before noon. but the crew said
the problem was minor and
they would start again at any
moment. At that time they
were at the 290-foot level.
As Mr.. Fellin and Mr..
Throne reported hearing the
drill, they were asked how it
sounded.
Great. I can hear it and it
sounds like it's right above me, I"
said Mr.. Fellin.
Trapped 10 Days
A second drilling rig, con-
siderably smaller, was sending
q 4-inch probe toward the area
where Louis Bova, ~, is be-
lieved trapped. 1t was much
slower, however, than the giant
rig.
About rs feet of debris sep

have been trapped for 10 days
since 8 am. August -.
Experts on the drilling rigs
expect difficulties as a matter
of routine in going through
hard rock. They have a COM
plete duplicate set of parts on
hand at all times. The first
breakdown today, around 8
am, came when a packing
bolt broke loose. Another,
at 5 am, was caused by q

Jumping off a pulley.
Optimism prevailed for Mr.

There have been no reports
about him since Tuesday night

heard brief shouts and tapping
