Little Hope Left For Two Kansas Men Left In Mine
GEORGETOWN, Colo., —(UP)—Rescue parties held little hope today that two Kansas farmers lost in a large abandoned mine near here since yesterday would be found alive.
Steer's Side Has Window
MANHATTAN —(UF)—A yearling steer with a "picture window" in his side is about to go on tour to permit livestock feeders to study his digestive processes.
The study of the complicated, four-stomach, digestive system of cattle long has been standard practice in the laboratory. But Oscar Straube, president of the Pay Way Feed Mills of Kansas City, Kan., wanted feeders themselves to see what happens to the expensive feed after it disappears down a beast's throat.
Mr. Straube purchased a 700-pound hereford yearling steer and had Dr. E. R. Frank of the Kansas State College animal husbandry department perform an operation which left a 36-square-inch hole in the animal's left side.
As soon as the young steet's "window casings" heal up he will be shown in beef producing areas of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
East German Plot Seen
BERLIN—(U.P.)—Western observers said today the East German mission to Moscow is the beginning of a possible Communist double cross.
The East Germans were plainly attempting to wrest from West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer the credit for freeing Germany's prisoner in Russia—his price for establishing diplomatic relations with Moscow.
Deputy Premier and party boss Walter Ulbricht said in an impromptu airfield speech his delegation represented the "national interests of Germany," and he would be in "the interest of peace and the restoration of the unity of Germany."
However, observers believed the Moscow talks would cement the division of Germany into two separate states.
Two Escapees Sighted
INDEPENDENCE. Kan.-(U.P.)-Two men who broke jail here at gunpoint Tuesday night, kidnapped a jailed whom they held only briefly and later terrorized a farm woman, were believed today to be "someone behind the back country" along the Oklahoma-Kansas border, authorities said.
No trace of the fugitives, Troy R. Brown, 45, Bartlesville, Okla., and Marvin Lee Smith, 27, Coffeyville, Kan., had been reported since late Wednesday when they left the farm home of C. R. Haberly near Independence. They threatened to kill Mrs. Haberly if she reported the incident and then left her locked in a smokehouse after taking two guns and an automobile. The automobile has not been found.
It's Life Or Death For K.C.Boy,10
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Tex. — (U.P.) A 10-year-old Kansas City, Mo., boy, his body swathed in medicated tape, today prepared to undergo surgical skin grafts that will mean the difference between life and death.
Donald Sturdiuv has burns covering 65 per cent of his body. Specialists at Brooke Army Medical Center will attempt skin grafts, with the knowledge there is little hope of success.
The boy was burned June 13 when paint thinner burst into flame near a charcoal heater and blazed blasting liquid over his body.
Portions of his neck, back, arms, chest, and face were severely damaged.
$\diamond$ Glenn Dew, 33, and Melvin Leblow, 45, both of Ulysses. Kan., went into the smelly, 6,000-foot shaft at 2:30 p.m. MST yesterday looking for uranium. They have not been seen since.
They carried with them enough oxygen for four hours, and a collapsible boat which they were to use to get past a small lake at the 3,000-foot level. They had discovered the underground lake on an expedition into the mine earlier this week.
The rescue parties, equipped with floodlights, oxygen supplies and air compressors worked through the night, but there was no indication the two were alive since the mine is filled with foul, poisonous air.
Leblow and Dew are believed to be lost somewhere past the 3,000-foot level of the shaft.
G. A Franz, Deputy State Mining Commissioner in charge of the rescue operations, explained the search was being conducted by two separate parties, each penetrating a distance of 1,000 feet before being relieved by the second party.
Dew and Leblow were reported missing about 4 p.m. yesterday by two companions, Kenneth Hickock, 50, a mining engineer, and Ernest P. Stubblefield, 32.
Hickock stayed outside the mine while Stubblefield accompanied Dew and Leblow as far as the 1,000-foot level. He stayed at that point waiting for Dew and Leblow to return at 3:30 p.m. when they failed to show up, he left the mine and joined Hickock to start a search.
Willie Porter, a miner and local volunteer fireman, used a makeshift oxygen mask to get to the 2,200-foot level of the mine, but was forced out without finding any trace of the missing prospectors.
It was not known whether the men had been trapped in the abandoned mine by a cave-in or whether they had been overcome by fumes in the shaft.
'Captive' Wives Up Car Sales
WICHITA—(U.P.)Kansas has an estimated 211,000 "captive" wives—women stranded at home because their husbands drive the family car to work, a credit corporation executive told the Kansas Motor Car Dealers association today.
The spokesman, Alan G. Rude of the Universal CIT Credit Corporation, said the "captive" wives are one reason for a bright auto outlook in the state.
He also cited the steady growth of Kansas' population, increase in income and movement of city families to suburbs as factors in the bright outlook.
Since there are 2.7 Kansans for every car, he said, each 28,000 gain in population means a potential 10,500 more car sales.
Free Fair Has First Ice Show
TOPEKA — (U.P.) The 75th Kansas Free Fair today scheduled the first ice show in its history and the finals of the team pulling contest—to form a picture of contrasts in the gala exposition.
Yesterday, horse races returned to the free fair for the second time in 14 years.
Leading up to today's finals in the team pulling contest, a new record for the preliminaries was set by Delmar Woolery, team driver, of Thayer. His horses pulled a 5,000 pound overload.
Buddy Braunt's team moved the same weight, but the horses of the Clifton, Mo., entrant did not pull it as far.
The 1954 team pulling sweepstakes winner, Earl Graham, of Devon, was third to round out the final entrants.
Also in livestock judging yesterday, Kansas State College students swept the first nine places in competition that was open to all.
Don Hunt, Mark Drake, and Nelson Galle, all of K-State, were the three top ranking entrants, in the order.

Argentine Revolt Quelled
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—(UP)
Army and Navy units revolted against the government of President Juan D. Peron at a number of points throughout Argentina today.
But the State radio said the revolt was crushed. It announced a state of siege had been proclaimed throughout the country.
The Argentine Congress was called into emergency session to deal with the uprises.
It was reported unofficially that Mr. Peron personally had assumed command of the forces putting down the revolt, as he did in the Navy-led uprising of last June 16.
The Chamber of Deputies approved enactment of a countrywide state of siege. Ninety-seven Peronistas voted unanimously for the action. The opposition radical party members were absent.
Later the State radio reiterated its claim that the government had crushed all rebellious points. It added that all information from sources other than press secretariat announcements were untrue.
He was scheduled to make an address of "national interest" from the Casa Rosada Government House to district delegates of the General Confederation of Labor. But at the scheduled time the state radio, which was expected to broadcast the speech, was playing folk music.
The government broadcast said there were uprisings by Army garrisons at "several interior points." Some Naval garrisons also were involved, the broadcast said.
It said loyal troops had smashed a subversive movement by a garrison at Entre Rios Province, which lies north of the Patana River in the northeast. It said 300 men were arrested there.
