augment the rescue operation in which all stops are being pulled out HAZLETON Pa AP David Fellin 58 and Henry Throne 28 two of the ped coal miners reported in excited shouts today that it seemed to them the escape hole appeared about to be drilled into their ber where they have been trapped 331 feet underground for The men reported they could hear the drill clearly slowed the Ing rig to almost a crawl as it be- gan to bring up dust indicating to the it was on soft rocks over a vein of coal Since the drill was at a depth approaching the level Fellin and Throne were ordered to put on respirators to avoid be- ing choked by dust In the event of a breakthrough A third man Louis Bova 42 Is trapped some distance from the others and has not been reported for several days Two previous escape hole tries have failed the latest one day f After the hole is com- the next step will be to enlarge it to 17 inches This ably will take another 30 hours A second drilling rig much smaller than the one boring the escape hole is drilling a toward Bova A six-inch lifeline hole reached Throne and Fellin last Sunday but Bova has had no food since the cave-in except what he might have had with him Two mechanical breakdowns delayed the escape hole drilling for a total of hours befort dawn today Experts on the drilling rigs ex- difficulties as a matter of routine in going through hard rock They have a complete plicate set of parts on hand at all times On the third front specialists with radioactive material rushed in from all over the nation stood ready to make further probes to determine how close a previous hole came to Fellin and Throne settle the deadlocked dispute Initial efforts with a Geiger lover railroad work rules The third hole was be- gun about 6 p.m Thursday night but it was halted less than two hours later when the Geiger counter was lowered into the original six-inch lifeline to Fellin and Throne At the same time a piece of radioactive cobalt was raised and lowered second hole which missed the trapped After an hour and a half nothing much more than background ation was received on the Geiger counter surface workers and the probe was Drilling resumed Already unsuccessful efforts on the two previous the first of which had to be because it was too close to the men and caused secondary rock in the loss of more than 40 hours The second inch hole apparently missed the men by a few feet They are in an underground pocket about 14 feet long and 9 feet wide Plans for the final rescue effort called for drilling a hole and then reaming it to 17 inches if depending on the condition of the men and other factors to 24 Rock and earth between the inch shaft that went astray and the pocket where the men are was apparently too dense or the radioactive cobalt too light 1 for a sufficiently strong reading voice could be heard clearly by some 200 persons gathered behind restraining ropes 100 feet from the rescue area as he methodically read off figures from the Geiger counter Authorities asked when they lowered the Geiger counter if either of the men knew how to use one Yeah f one In the Throne Then you Davy said Gordon Smith deputy secretary of mines and Throne continued to hold their spirits high with a stream of humor to rescuers above boosting their morale Bova has not been heard from at all by rescuers at the surface

also mean the tacit recognition of East Germany's status as a soverign and j pendent and ultimately it couM lead as well to the of West Germany Secondly it would signify the abandonment of those
