SATURDAY, MARCH. 9, 1968 Senate Clears Way For Bill Passage WASHINGTON VP) The Senate cleared the way yesterday for, passage, probably on Monday, •of a civil rights protection, open housing, and antiriot bill. By a 61-19 vote, the senate accepted the legislation as amended as a substitute for the original civil rights measure brought up in Mid-January. Only three non-southerri senators voted against ac ceptance. They were Carl T. Curtis (R.Neb.), John J. Williams (R-Del.), and Robert C. Byrd (D.-W.Va.). Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), said he hopes to piss the bill and send it to the House on Monday. Filibuster Not Expected He indicated he does not expect opponents to wage a filibuster against passage, although he told newsmen he has no agreement with them. The limitation on debate that was put into effect last Monday, with adoption of the cloture rule, expired with completion of action on amendments. But Mansfield made clear he would not 'hesitate to ask the Senate to invoke its cloture rule again if he felt it was necessary. Amendment Extended The legislation, expanded far beyond its original scope during more than seven weeks of debate, was broadened even further at Friday's session. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., (D-N.C.), won adoption of an amendment extending the protection of the Bill of Rights and other constitutional gurantees to American Indians. The open housing provisions, the most controversial part of the bill, would take effect in three stages and would bar discrimination in the sale or rental of 'nearly 70 per cent of the nation's housing. Additional Penalties The bill also would provide federal criminal penalties for interfering by force or threats with voting, serving on juries, attending public schools, and other specifically \ protected rights. Another part of the measure would make it a federal crime to cross a state line with intent to incite a riot. The bill also provides federal criminal penalties for transporting in interstate commerce and teaching or dem onstrating how to make or use firearms, explosives and incendiary devices like Molotov cocktails in riots.

(AP) The 21 men trapped two days ago when a fierce fire erupted in a salt mine's elevator shaft were found dead yesterday. Rescue ere , s first found 16 of them, huddled like children in sleep, in a tunnel 3,000 feet from the shaft. The other five were located a few hours later, "All 21 are now accounted for," announced a wear y spokesman for Cargill, Inc., the Minneapolis firm that owns the irolated coastal mine. There were shriek- of an guish and weepin,• when the announeemelit was made to the some 70 relative., and wives who had kept the long anxious vigil at the Calumet head quarters-14 miles from the mine. Miners in muddy coveralls sobbed unashamedly. Safety Recommendations The disaster carne eight months after the Federal Bu reau of Mines recommended that the mine sink a second Applications are now available at the Hub Desk for photographer, artist, art critics, and a distribution staff for the Hub Arts Review deserves another. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA 21 Lost in La. Salt Mine shaft as an escape route and for ventilation, and install various fire controls. At Indianapolis, H. A. Schre cengost, manager of the bu reau's District D, said the rec ommendations were made by A. M. Evans, mining engineer from the Dallas subdistrict, after an "observation walk through.' last August. ''These recommendations did not have the force of law," Schrecengost added. H. Robert Diercks, executive vice president of Cargill, Inc., said he was not aware of any such recommendations. 'Greatest Tragedy' "This is the greatest tragedy in the history of our business," he said, when the final word came that the men were dead. Raymond R. Ashby, a Ken= tucky coal mine safety expert, said the 16 found by his crew apparently "died of carbon monoxide poisoning." "They died a painless death," added Ashby, a member of one of the special mine rescue d turn-on crews flown in from Madison ville, Ky. "It was like lying down and going to sleep." Officials declined to say where the other five bodies were located. A source who de clined to be quoted said they were in the sump—a deep, water-filled hole at the base of the shaft. A Cargill spokesman said ef forts to recover the bodies would be postponed until Sat urday. The rescue workers were exhausted, he added. Trapped by Fire The 21 men were trapped at the 1,200-foot level when fire— its source unknown—broke out in the shaft at midnight Tues day, minutes before they were to leave. The last desperate word from below, telephoned to hoist oper ator Clomere Leßoeuf, was: "Bring it up, bring the cage up!,, It was too late. The shaft, braced with timbers, was ablaze. Leßoeuf said he could only hose water down the shaft Great bring-downs for un-togethered over thirties. _l3 ~` ~'~ and watch the thick steel eleva tor cables gradually glow red hot—then part. The elevators—two of them, counterbalanced so that when one was up the other was down —crashed down into the sump. "I dream of it still," said Leßeouf. "It's still so hot down there you can hardly stand it," said Ashby. "It's now around 100 degrees. It's like .being out on a desert."

Winners of the competition, sponsored by the Mexico Forge Company, of'Reedsville, are Thomas H. Repsher of Folcroft and Jeffrey B. Simmons of Johns town.. Both are third-year students in landscape architecture. Simmons' creation resembles a totem pole, while Repsher's consists of a series of open metal squares and rectangles. Both are designed to be about eight feet tall and can be used in small parks for climbing and play. The two designs will be erected in a "parklet" that is being planned along Fraser Street in State College. The Mexico Forge Co. will market them on a nationwide basis. Kenneth J. Polakowski, associate professor of landscape architecture, said that 16 students from his class participated in the competition. "The top two entries were chosen on the basis of versatility, economics and aesthetics, and because they are made of metal and can be mass produced. In short, the designs had to look good and work well with children," he said.
