WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Aug. 20.-Controversial
civil rights issues were blocked
at the Southern Governors Con-
ference here today.
The Governors adopted a
rule change requiring unani-
nous approval of resolutions.
This forestalls a floor fight over
resolutions proposed by Gov.
George Wallace of Alabama.
AS a matter of fact, Gov.
Wallace seconded the motion of
South Carolina Gov. Donald
Russell for the unanimity rule.
Deep South Governors knew
their colleagues from the Bor-

Sobbing Wife
Talks With
One of Men

HAZLETON, Pa, Aug. 20
(AP).-Rescue workers pushed
ahead today with two drilling
operatios in efforts to reach
three miners. trapped 33l feet
underground since last Tues
day, as concern grew for one
of the men.
One of the entombed men
and his fearful wife, meanwhile,
talked through a six-inch hole
which had been drilled down
previously to two of the men.
I'm all right but cold"
David Fellin, SO, told his wife.
During the first four hours
of today's drilling, starting
about 2:45 am. the workers
bored about 100 to 100 feet with
a 12-inch diameter drill. The
escape hatch hole eventually
will be "a inches in diameter
so the men can be lifted to the
surface.
At HOB am. the drill broke
down with depth reported at
131 feet. Ralph Distler, a State
mining inspector, said, how
ever, that replacement unit
was expected soon.
Two Drilling Operations
The operation began under
glaring spotlights in the middle
of last night with a Acton
electrically operated drilling
rig capable of boring a 4S-inch
diameter hole. A second drill
ing operation designed to estab-
lish a communication line With
Louis Bova. ~. one of the three
men, also went on in the fog
and dampness.
Mr.. Bova of PatterSonville is
separated from the other two
by debris and has been unheard
from since yesterday morning.
Concern for his welfare grew,
although one State official
said, 1--WE still have hope. After
all, it was a miracle the other
guys are still alive. We think
Bova's okay."
Mrs. Anna Fellin talked with
her husband this morning. Her
conversation could be heard,
but some of Mr.. Fellin's was
muffled.
Hello" she said, bending
close to the ground to speak
through the small hole.
Mr.. Fellin could be heard TO
say hello" but the rest of his
remark was inaudible.
"What?" said Mrs. Fellin.
How are you?"
I'm all right, but cold" he
replled.
Mrs. Fellin started sobbing,
then composed herself and was
heard to reply in answer to a
muffled remark by Mr.. Fellin,
Il guess we're all good"
WHAT" she was heard to
inquire again.
Mr.. Fellin's reply was again
"All right. she said.
There were more muffled
words, and then Mrs. Fellin
said. Huh? The kids are all
asking about you (they have
four children. And you know

DR.. Edward Teller, the most

Story For Is Point EBMcE

The story of a siX-point buck
that had his career brought to a
close this year was related this
week by Bill Burton, sports editor
of the Evening Sun, Baltimore He
picked up the story while in the
county last week. The account
speaks for itself

wandcrlust and an unhealthy lack

mans has gone to the great beyond.

checked, Perry at Carroll Millcr's
checking S,tatl6n in Oakland after
shooting it in the Mt. Nebo area.
Still around its neck was an old
tattcred and faded collar with its
bell missing. The 106-pound buck
led a charmed life up until this
deer season.
1T was first seen three years ago
when about five or six months old
by a pair of young Oakland men,
Russell Crosco and Don Uphold,
who rescued it from barbed wire
fence in which it had become en-
tangled on farm near Cranes
vile, west of Swallow Falls. Perry
was to carry the scars from the
barbs the remainder of his life.
The men put a collar around his
neck, and often returned to the
farm to romp with Perry, feed
him apples from their hands The
next winter he left with an 8-point
buck and was later seen by his
benefactors around Mt Ncbo, some
ID miles away. They often visited
him there, feeding him more ap-
pies.
But last season Perry was shot,
the shell going through the neck
and briskct, leaving another scar,
but he survived and was visited
again by Crosco and Uphold, but
was more cautious then. He refused
to take food from their hands, but
did eat what they left for him.
The last time he was seen by
the pair was last spring back on
the farm where he was first saved
from the barbed wire fence. He
was among a herd of 30 deer. The
others fled as Crosco and Uphold
approached but Perry stayed around
although he wouldn't let them
come close enough to remove the
collar that showed signs of getting
too tight
