Time Running Out for Miners; Rescuers Suffer Setback
LOGAN, W. Va. — (UPI) — Rescuers battling for the fourth day to reach 18 miners trapped deep in a fire-scarred coal mine near here suffered another delay today. A "hot" area about 1,500 feet from where the entombed men may have barricaded themselves was made impassable by intense heat, dense smoke and the absence of any flow of air.
West Virginia Mines Director Crawford L. Wilson, who earlier admitted "time is running out" said an attempt would be made to reverse the air flow
"This should be accomplished by early, this afternoon." Wilson said.
early this afternoon." Wilson said. The mines chief said the pocket of static smoke and air "shows a blockage of air and the men (trapped miners) may have shut it off."

"The underlying desire among council members to discuss the NSA issue has been growing for weeks," he said.
Naylor Denies Sorority Influence on NSA Issue

Frank Naylor, Kansas City junior, said he brought up the ASC proposal to disaffiliate from the National Student Association "because it needed discussion."

"I later learned that the matter of disaffiliation has been discussed at KU Panhellenic meetings," Naylor said.
The anti-NSA literature attacked that organization's "liberal" policies, voiced the opinion that NSA publications were valueless, questioned
U.S. Launches 90-Pound Satellite Towards Sun
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—(UPI)
A near perfect space shot today sent a 90-pound American satellite toward an orbit around the sun.
The three-stage Thor-able lifted from its pad at 7:02 a.m. (Lawrence time) and within five minutes the rocket had successfully separated all three stages.
The beach ball-sized aluminum sphere was designed to radio back to earth information on radiation, cosmic dust and magnetic fields to be found in deep space.
Scientists at Jodrell Bank radio telescope in Manchester, England, said the rocket was on course in its trip toward the sun and the orbit of Venus, a journey that will take several months. The rocket had to achieve a velocity of 25,000 miles an hour to escape from the earth's gravitational pull.
The satellite is expected to remain
Ian C. Loram, associate professor of German, said at yesterday's Poetry Hour that there is an extraordinary contrast between the two German poets, Rilke and Brecht.
Ian C. Loram "God, Russia and Loneliness. . ."
Professor Contrasts German Poets
Prof. Loram read some of the better known poems of the two poets and pointed out that the main difference between their poetry is that Brecht wrote his poems to be set to music.
"There are three things that were most influential in the writings of Rilke. They are God, Russia and loneliness," Prof. Loram said.
Prof. Loram said that Rilke underwent a rather long development for a poet. He said that it was through the influence of the poet, George, that Rilke found his way in the poetry field.
Jan C. Loram
"Rilke's poem, 'Der Panther' is a 'thing' poem. In this poem Rilke tries to bring out the 'thingingness in things'," he said.
"Brecht tried to be a mystic and was always a skeptic. He was ambivalent between two alternatives—mysticism on one hand and to completely avoid mysticism on the other hand." Prof. Loram said.
"Rilke wrote 'Der Panther' about a panther that he had seen in a zoo in Paris. He tries to project himself into its soul."
In "Der Panther" he emphasizes the things that he believes in and longs for. Rilke is so symbolic that it is hard to interpret him, Prof. Loram said.
Brecht finally came to the point where he tried to determine the causes of things and this led him to a material outlook, Prof. Loram said.
"Rilke was reasonably convinced that things as well as people have souls," said Prof. Loram.
Prof. Loram said that Brecht repudiates the psychology of the individual and was actually better known as a playwright than a poet.
Convinced of Souls
"He tried to explain things economically if he could. Breecht soon found his way to Marxism which is evident in his works." Prof. Loram said.
"Before he gets into anything that might represent pathos, he rescues himself with a strong shot of irony."
"Brecht's poetry is functional. It is fair, sharp and ironic."
Prof. Loram said that Brecht was not entirely without a sense of humor, but that his humor did have a tendency to be dry.

in its huge orbit for roughly 100,000 years. If it follows course it will go into an orbit around the sun inside the path followed by the earth and outside the path of Venus. It will touch each neighboring orbit once every circle, a trip of 295 days.
The ambitious, but often-delayed probe into deep space was launched only a few hundred yards from the pad where an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile blew up last night. The space shot had been postponed earlier yesterday because of rocket trouble.
The slender, white rocket broke loose from its pad clamps and rose slowly into the air. Ice which had formed on its liquid oxygen cooled hull fell from the booster in a brilliant shower. The rocket plunged behind low-hanging clouds about 20 seconds later as it soared into the sky.
Loud Signals Received
Radio signals from the intricate package were being received "loud and clear" from tracking stations around the world tuned to 378 megacycles. This is the frequency on which the planetoid's compact but powerful 150-watt transmitter is supposed to keep in touch with earth from as far away as 50 million miles.
PAMPHLET QUESTIONS
The National Student Association has recently voiced disapproval of loyalty oaths for students.
Powered by solar cells in four "paddlewheel" vanes, the "radio station" will relay findings of five experiments designed to find out more about what makes the solar system tick-if all goes well.
Pamphlets Questioned
TU Students Stage Protest
AUSTIN, Tex.—(UPI) White and Negro University of Texas students today posted a loose picket line along the school's campus to protest what they called the "school's segregation policies."
The group of 12 Negro and seven white students carried placards and passed out circulars protesting the university's residential, athletic and extra curricular activity policies.
It was the first instance of racial unrest on the campus since the university was integrated in the early 1950's.
Jim Jordan, an art student from Fort Worth, told newsmen, "we feel integration should be carried all the way."
"I seriously doubt whether the proof offered in these pamphlets is sufficient to warrant our (KU) pulling out of the Association," Naylor commented.
Circulars passed out by the group said that only four of the university's 20 dormitories are open to Negroes that housing for Negro students was below average, and the Negroes were denied the right to participate in intercollegiate athletics and "on-stage public presentations" of the drama department.
University police chief Bob Hamilton, on the scene although picketing was orderly, said the university has never had integration trouble before.
Voicing his personal opinion, Naylor suggested that the NSA offers much potential advantage, but:
1. KU does not take an active part in Association legislation. KU's opinions are not presented.
3. The KU All-Student Council has not been pleased with their foreign student exchange program.
2. Helpful aids and publications are offered by the Association to student councils, but KU does not take advantage of this situation either.
4. Student apathy is such that the NSA campus travel bureau is not used.
In response to the opinion of Tonya Kurt, Pratt junior and KU's coordinator for the NSA, that a written report explaining the NSA should be submitted to the student body before the student council takes any action, Naylor said:
"Yes. I think when students are paying 395 to 400 dollars a year for something they're entitled to know what it's all about.
"But, then, too. I feel no matter how small the relative cost of the NSA, the KU student shouldn't have to pay for something he gets no benefits from." Naylor concluded.
West to Propose Disarmament Plan
PARIS —(UPI) —The West will ask Russia to join in creation of an International Disarmament Organization (IDO) to carry out three-stage world disarmament, diplomatic sources said today.
The United States, France, Britain, Canada and Italy will present the proposal for the IDO Tuesday when they meet the Soviet Union and four communist bloc nations in Geneva for disarmament talks, the sources said.
France yesterday claimed victory in the drafting of the joint Western plan, after weeks of opposing the United States, Italy, Canada, and Britain on the lines the Western policy should take
