ERED SCIENTISTS iGlVEN CRITICISM

I

i MOSCOW tReutersi < The Communist party neWSpaper Pravda attacked some Soviet scientists Wednesday for “liv-» ing at science's expense" and producing nothing useful.

The paper cited the case of Kazakhstan scientist S. I. So- kolov. who had been studying the soils of the. Ural River Valley for l7 years.

if said "the end of his work is not in sight and there are also no concrete recommend- ations."

A check of Kazakhstan scl- cntific institutes showed that 1.006.000 rubles (about $1.172.~ 600i had been spent invesii‘ gating 65 subjects l a t e r dropped because they were not important.

Pravda crowned its list of useless" scientists by telling the story of M. N. Kabirov. i "who pretended to be working hard on three projects. but in fact was writing plays for a local theatre. while not forget. ting to collect his salary at the institute on the button.

("ARMICHAELS Pa. A 0031 mine. cxploswn trapped 36 men some 650 feet under ground Thursday. and rescue crews struggled desperately to reach them.

More than eight hours after the violent blast. the three eight. - man crews had worked their way about 2‘1: miles to. ward the trapped men—but still were an estimated 7.000 feet from their goal.

The explosion rocked a shaft of the Robcna No. 3 mine of US. Steel Corporation about 1:15 p.m. ii. is located in south- wcsiern Pennsylvania some 80 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.

The rescuers hoped to reach the explosion scene between midnight and 3 am. today.

No contact had been made with the trapped miners. and there. was no indication of their condition.

Fear was expressed that the blast area may have caught fire.

Mine. officials said air coming up from te. mine contained large amounts of carbon diox- ide. indicating a strong possi- bility of fire.

ighty miners were reported working in the area. Forty-four reached the. surface. Twenty of these. returned to the shaft to aid the. trained rescue teams.

The rescue units had to fight their way through tons of rock. coal and other debris which blocked the lateral tunnel lead- ing from the Frosty Run shaft.

A stream of trucks discharged various types of mine rescue equipment at. the top of the shaft where it was relayed downward by elevators.

“it looks like a long night." said one of the rescue workers.

BROTHER HOPEFUI.

Kenneth Hribal. a brother of one of the trapped foremen. ex‘ plained that his brother is an expert in mine rescue work. He said he knows there is some sort of escape route in the

mine. "If anybody can get them out. Jim can." Hrihal said. Meanwhile. Jim Hrihal's wife waited in a large. room along Continued on page 3 col. 2)
