Rescue Expected Soon For 2 Men Buried Two Weeks trvm OM) said he had no idea where Bova located. Drilling for Bova stopped a lit Me before 6 a.m. at a depth of about 140 feet when water was encountered. The drill, driven by compressed air, will not operate in water. The conference was called to decide whether to drill through the heavy plug or first test the torpedo shaped escape capsule in which Fellin and Throne may ascend by raising and lowering it in the enlarged portions of the hole.

If they bore through the plug first, and then discover that the capsule will not fit through the 17V4-inch shaft, it would be ficult to re-plug the larger hole prior to further reaming operations. During the morning, drilling was halted periodically for about an hour to allow new sections to be added to the so-called "stem," a pipe used to draw pulverized rock from the hole to the surface. Such delays occurred at an average of about once every three hours. The first 38 feet of the rescue shaft was widened to 30 inches Sunday. Then a 26-inch steel casing delicately was Inserted in that section of the hole to reinforce its walls, and reaming with the bit was started.

A rescue worker said five diamond bits, worth $300 each, had been worn out since midnight in drilling the three-inch hole to the spot where Bova was thought to be trapped. The hole was not expected to be finished before Tuesday. Bova. who was with Fellin and Throne when the mine shaft they were in collapsed Aug. 13, was last heard from on Tuesday.

Hopes that he would be found alive were dim. Time Estimates Vary Some officials estimated the drill may reach the chamber in which FelJin and Throne are trapped late in the afternoon or evening. Gordon Smith, deputy state secretary of mines, and Clyde Machamer, president of the Independent Miners Association expected the reaming operation may be finished before noon. Peter Hino, a ctate mine inspector, said it might take until dusk. The reaming operation proceed ed slowly, at the rate of a few feet an hour.

Periodic delays were caused when new sections had to be added to the pipe that tarries pulverized rock to the surface as the drill goes deeper. After drilling is completed, the capsule will be lowered to the chamber and raised several times in dry runs before an actual attempt to lift the men to the surface is made. Jokes With Rescuers Throne, listening to the hum of the drills through the smaller shaft, said "We're gonna be like (astronaut) John Glenn and come shooting out of this hole." "I'll send Hank (Throne), up first," Fellin shouted later. A rescue worker replied: "I figured you'd say that." George Gallagher, a friend of the two, Sunday night warned Throne that there may be "stuff coming down the hole" from the drilling. "We got room down the Throne said, indicating there was space to shunt aside any loose dirt that might fall.

"Nothing is falling now." Tito, a television re pairman from nearby Hazleton who set up much of the commun ications system to the men, also talked to Throne and told him "Don't worry, we'll have you fellows up here." "I don't care if you take up upside down," Throne said "Dave said that if he can't go into the capsule he'll crawl up." Throne then woke up the sleeping Fellin so that he could talk to his wife, Anna, 47, She tok him: "Hope you're coming up tomor row (today) because I haven' seen you for a long time, Buddy Buddy." Smith said that after the hole had been widened, it would re quire about two hours to with draw the drill, 30 minutes to hois the capsule into position and on end a half hours for the tes runs with the capsule. The steel casing was lowerec by crane into the 38-foot section of the hole with accuracy lha Smith called "perfect." Anothe casing 20 inches in diamete was inserted inside of it as an additional safety factor. When Throne and Fellin an brought up, they will be flown by helicopter to a hospital eigh miles away. Two Marine helicopters from Quantico, were standing by for this operation. Bulldozer leveled off part of a hill nea the mine to prepare a landing pad for the craft.

Bova was in a chamber abou 13 feet away from Throne anc Fellin, One of his four brothers, Pete Bova, 39, a veteran of 12 year In the mines, said at the scene "I know he's alive and I know could get him home." He said his brother "alway Eels laryngitis when he's in th cold and damp, and that's prob ibly why they haven't heart from him."
