while helping others dig through the huge cave-in.

The rescued miners were brought front the tunnel in which they were trapped into a nearby abandoned mine.

Mine officials said the men would be kept in the abandoned pit for so minutes to be certain that all mine us had been cleared front the shaft.

They will also be given medical examinations before they start the two-mile walk to the mine en- trance.

The trapped miners said they had plenty of air but that they were ex- tremely hungry. They had not eaten since early Thursday even- ing when they started their shift.

Women Pray and sing

Women in shawls and children knelt in the heavy mud at the pit- head, praying and singing hymns. A salvation Army band led them in singing "Rock of Ag!" and the psalm "The Lord is my Shepherd."

The men were caught when a 1-glrnmgked surface as large as a football field caved in. Hundreds of workers on the surface sought to prevent other cave-ins by blocking the h of m of the crater formed when the earth collliiied into the mine diggings.

OTTAWA. Sept. 8 -(GP) -

George Drew, Pmgressive Conser- '

vative leader, today carried his fight for a Commons defence coun- mlttee to the last ditch and forced the Government to vote him down.

A motion regretting that the Government has refused to appoint such a committee was rejected 142 to 43 by a combination of Liberal and Social credit members.

it was promptly followed by a C. C. F. motion calling for the nat- ionalization of the "production and sale of munitions and armaments"

Both motions came as the House debated the bill embodying the Government's 3850,000.000 teamma- ment program. Both used the de- vice of urging that the bill be not now read a second time-given ap- proval in plincipl '9. their sep- arate reasons.

At the night sitting a. C. C.F. motion calling for nationalization of the production and sale of mun- itions and armaments was defeated 156 to 12.

The bill later was givenitllird and final reading. It will be con- sidered by the senate tomorrow.

Prime Minister St. Laurent said -that any decision to send the spe- cial army brigade elsewhere than Korea will -be placed before Par- llament.

Didn't Hurt Much, Is . Reaction To Baby Budget

By The Canadian Press

Canadians generally agreed to- daysthat Finance Minister Abbott's "baby budget" didn't hurt nearly as much as expected.

Typical was the remark yester- day of Robert A. Bryce. president of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce, who said is: Medicine Hat, Alta.: "So far as I have seen them,

I don't see much harm in the changes." He said the Governments in its

budget, brought down in the House of Commons Thursday night, is adopting a "pay-as-we-go" policy. The main thing, he said, is that "we don't want controls."

But acting Premier J. 8. Brock- elbank of " skstchewan expressed disappointment in the omission of an excess-profits tax. He said: "It is evident that this budget will en- courage rather than retard in- creases in the cost of living."

Typical of dealers' reactions was the t of

Conservative leader Winston Churchill and his deputy, Anthony Eden, will speak for the Opposition. Neither is expected to oppose the Government's motions. They mar. however, submit a. counter-motion accusing the 'Labor administration of doing too little, too late. Churchill has said frequently that Labor indeed in building defences against Communism.

The Government would be un- seated if a vote of censure were carried. And the absence afnoed if some of the Labor members needed to maintain the Government's meagre majority of seven has caused some anxiety in party cir- cies here.

Huge Hurrican

Andrews,

MIAMI; Fla., Sept. 8 -- (AP)- The great Atlantic hurricane re- mained stalled 800 miles east of the Georgia coast today and seem- ed to be losing force. Its winds, which once blew at 150 miles an hour, now are estimated at 100 miles an hour.

The storm ,may have drifted a few miles westward toward the coast, but forecasters in the Weather Bureau here said it had not yet set out on a new course since halting 2! hours earlier.

Bermuda's cluster of isles 200 miles to the northeast were under a hurricane alert but were pro- tected for the time being by a. large high pressure system which blocked the mighty tropical storm.

"It is just sitting there, blow- ing hard but doing no berm," said Grady Norton, chief forecaster in the Miami Bureau.

”It appears to be sp:eading out

a bit. which would reduce vts force. It remains a large and dangerous hurricane, and ship-

ping should avoid it and Bermuda should remain on the alert for possible gale winds."

Lt.-Gen. Walton II. We ker said the greatest peril was passed Sept. 3-"my own worst day"-when the Reds made big gains toward Mas- an and Yongsan in the southwest sector. Counter-attacks which re- lieved that situation and firmly es- tablished the Naktong River line ended the menace. the General ad- ded. '

Today U. S. 1st Cavalry Division troops "contained" a Communist attack eight miles northwest of Taegu, the mid-day communique of the Eighth Army reported.

Reds infiltrating

But to the northeast of Taegu, where interest is focused on two vital highway junctions -Yong- choir and Kyongju-the Rods were probing and infiltrating while Un- ited Nations forces strove to repair gaps in the line.

The communique said the Reds have fought to "within a few miles" of Yongchon, no miles northeast of Taegu. Yong- chon, loss of which would make

Tnegu untenable, changed hands twice Thursday night and Friday.

Slipping through gaps made by a break-through last Monday, the Reds infiltrated across the supply highway leading to Taegu from the east. They crossed . between Yongchon and Kvongju, the letter 35 miles east of Tlegu.

"Both towns and the connecting road are still in. friendly hands," the communique said.
