Arnold Chase, assistant commissioner for prices and living conditions in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reported a one-half of 1 per cent rise in the Consumer Price Index in July. At 107.1, compared to 100 for the base period of 1957-59, the index was 1.5 per cent above a year ago.

Chase indicated that an increase of one tenth of 1 per cent a month or a total of 1.2 per cent through a year is not considered out of line. The 107.1 index means that it now takes 71 cents more to buy what $10 would have purchased in consumer items In the 1957-59 period. Chase said he expects price changes in the July-August period to be minor with the total index unchanged or "not up very much." Behind the July living cost rise highest In any one month since September of last year were substantial price boosts for food and gasoline, although rates went up for most goods and services.

Carl Hayden of Arizona and Floyd E. Dominy, commissioner of reclamation in the Interior Department, both gave their full support to the Central Arizona Proiect as Senate hearings opened Tuesday on Sen. Hay den bill to authorize the long-planned project to bring Colorado River water as far into Arizona as Tucson. Sen. Hayden reminded the irrigation and reclamation subcommittee of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee that he had sup- See abstract of Sen.

Hayden's statement and a New York Times editorial on Southwest water plans, Page 4B. ported reclamation works wherever they were needed, including in California, and that now it was Arizona's turn and Arizona should not be made to wait. He quoted both Gov. Ed mund G. (Pat) Brown of California and Chief Justice Earl Warren, formerly a California governor, as supporting the proposition that Arizona, with Colorado River rights decided, is entitled to (in Warren's words) use its share of the Colorado River "in any manner or by any method considered best by Arizona.

Dominy praised the project, stating that it also was part or a greater plan known as the Pacific Southwest Water Plan, explained Monday at a press conference by Secretary or tne interior Stewart Udall of Arizona. Dominy said that the Central Arizona Pro ject is "fully feasible" finan cially. The entire Arizona congres sional delegation has joined Sen. Hayden in introducing his bill in the Senate and the House. The other members of the delegation are Sen.

Barry uoidwater and Reps. John J. Rhodes, Morris K. Udall and George (Duke) Senner. It appeared that the prin cipal question before Congress, should it choose to fol low Interior Department rec ommendations, would be as to the speed with which it would consider the Hayden bill and amendments to it.

Hayden has said freely that he wrote his bill as he did, in plain and brief language, so that such amendments as might be necessary could be worked out in the House and later at Senate-House confer ences. Progress of the Hay den bill is not expected even by the most optimistic Ari- Izonans to be any faster than tral Arizona Project as "an integral part of the Pacific Southwest Water Plan" described in detail by Secretary Udall Tuesday. It encompasses works of some nature, including water-saving methods such as canal lining and eradication of water-stealing shrubbery, in five western states including California and Arizona.

Narron. "Harrison has some Canadian employes down here all the time. The explosion occurred about 5:30 D.m. Tippie said three rescue teams had been lowered into the shaft, the first about 7 p.m. None had established contact with the trapped men.

Tippie said the rescuers found debris 75 feet from the bottom of the shaft. They also encountered intense heat, apparently generated by the blast. Cause of the blast wasn't determined immedi ately. The mine is in the Colorado River Canyon, about 250 miles southeast of bait Lake City It's about 100 miles from the "Four Corners Area," the point where New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona come together. At one time, the company had as many as 100 miners at the site.

The figure has dropped steadily since the shaft was "bottomed out" in late February. The shaft is "off center' of the main ore body of potash, used in commercial fertilizer. The miners have been working laterally off the main shaft toward the ore. Miners knowledgeable rescue work were dispatched from the coal fields of Price Utah, but there were growing fears there would be no great need for them to hurry. (Res cuers would face a far differ ent task than that encountered in the Hazleton, mine rescue.

See story on Page 2A) DAVID FELLIN "There are 16 men trapped in a drift off the level," said Geneva Narron, sheriff's office dispatcher. "That's the definite count." However, Frank Tippie, manager of the potash division of Texas Gulf Sulphur owner of the mine, said 25 men were working in the shaft. "The explosion blew everything the communications lines, air lines and electrical lines, and blew windows out of the head frame and injured one man above ground," said Mrs. Narron. The head frame is a tall building over the mouth of the vertical shaft.

It houses, among other things, the hoist used to raise and lower men in the shaft. Trapped were employes of Harrison International of Denver, a construction firm. The mine was not scheduled to start production until later this month.

A specially written rule will permit the House to substitute the Sen- te version, thereby avoiding parliamentary delays to re- oncile differences. Railroad spokesmen reject ed a request of the Senate majority leader, Mike Mansfield of Montana, for a delay the posting of new work rules so a strike would be avoided. J. E. Wolfe, the carriers' chief negotiator, said, "The last extension we agreed to was a mistake.

The time was not used for legislative purposes. On the contrary, it was used by the unions to improve their otherwise intolerable public relations position under the guise of untrue statements that progress was being made in negotiations." The principal carriers an nounced they would not ac cept freight after 12:01 a.m. Thursday, when the strike is scheduled to begin, unless legislation averts it. Sen. John O.

Pastore, D- R.I., gave the Senate a detailed explanation of the leg- slation and the amendment; taking the secondary issues out of the arbitration require ment. "What we are doing here this afternoon is absolutely unprecedented," Pastore said. "We are deviating from a tradition. There is no question about it." He explained that Congress for the first time in history was subjecting part of the dis pute to compulsory arbitration and was "bending backward" at the same time to preserve collective bargaining by leaving some of tne ois-. pute to that course.

Sen. Morse, already defeat ed in an attempt to have the entire dispute referred to an arbitration board that would report to the Interstate Commerce Commission, delivered a scathing denunciation of the five railroad brotherhoods for their handling of the dispute. The Oregonian's fiery attack was all the more startling because of his friendliness to most union causes. "Now is the time to stand up to the political pressure of the brotherhoods," he shouted. "They couldn't, if you wanted their votes, deliver the votes of their members.

The brotherhood chiefs have to take the responsibility for the first compulsory arbitration in the history of the U. S. Congress." One of the chiefs, Charles Luna of the trainmen, listened from a front row seat in the gallery. The Post Office announced that if a strike took place it would stop accepting second. third and fourth class mail addressed to destinations more than 150 miles from the mailing point.

Air mail service would be maintained and first class mail would be moved by any transportation modes available. Shippers of perishable goods by mail were urged to discontinue mailings at once. Emergency parcel post shipments, such as medicine, should be sent first class or air mail if the destination is beyond 150 miles, the department said. 100,000 Will Take Part In Big Rally WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (JPi The vanguard began arriving in an increasingly nervous capital Tuesday for Wednesday's big "march for jobs and freedom." The latest estimate from the leaders of the Negro and white marchers was that at least 100,000 persons would take part in the demonstration, including 25,000 to Washingtonians.

However, nobody was sure of anything like an exact number. Authorities still insisted they looked for no major trouble, but they were taking extraordinary precautions. For Two Tucsonans will participate in march. See story on Page IB. example, in a last-minute move, the District of Columbia commissioners prohibited all sales of alcoholic drink from midnight Tuesday to 2 a.m.

Thursday. Some 5,000 police, National Guardsmen, deputized firemen and police reservists have been assigned to crowd and trouble control duties. About 4,000 regular Army troops and Marines are in barracks nearby, with big helicopters ready to ferry them into the heart of the city if necessary. Wednesday morning march leaders are to see Congress chieftains on Capitol Hill, while the rank-and-file congregate on the Washington Monument grounds. After the demonstration, its leaders are to have a session at 5 p.m.

with President Kennedy at the White House. Here are highlights of the day's schedule: Perhaps long before dawn, earlybird marchers will begin gathering at the Washington Monument grounds and the Ellipse behind the White House. Beginning at 10 a.m., the crowd will be entertained by music and appearances by Hollywood and Broadway stars, some of whom are flying in from Paris. Then at 11:30 a.m. the marchers singing "We Shall Overcome" are to start for the Lincoln Memorial, less than a mile away.

They are to move along Constitution Independence and across the grass bordering the reflecting pool. At the Memorial, Marian Capital Liquor Ban Brings Hot Protest WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 A ban on the sale of alcoholic drink during the "March for Jobs and Freedom" brought hot protests Tuesday.

Wayne Morris, Sen. John Tower, R-Tex and The joint resolution, carry ing the force of law when finally enacted, would impose compulsory arbitration in an interstate dispute for the first time in the history of the United States. The Senate resolution as finally adopted would establish an arbitration board composed of two representatives each of the unions and the railroads and three public members. The rail and union members would have five days to choose the three neutrals. If they failed to agree, the President would have another five days to name the neutrals.

The board would have 90 days to hear and decide the controversies over the pro posed elimination of some 32,000 firemen jobs and the size and makeup of train crews. Sixty days after the dec! sion of the board came down it would become effective for a total of 180 days. Other issues would be left to col lective bargaining. Sen.

Twining was reported to have said in a brief appearance that the treaty would weaken the nation from military viewpoint. Another critic of the treaty, Sen.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 Navy's top admiral from 1055 to mid-1961, urged the Senate Tuesday to reject the limited nuclear test ban treaty, 2 Rescued Miners Feel Sure Third Is Alive declaring the Russians will ratification.

But the former chief of naval operations, now re tired, conceded that "it looks as if this treaty will be ratified in the near future" and said the Senate should insist that Russia agree to some system of limited inspection. Also, he said, "if the treaty were to have meaning," both the United States and the Soviet Union should dismantle their facilities for testing in the atmosphere. The pact would ban all except underground nuclear tests. Burke testified behind closed doors before the Senate preparedness subcommittee as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee drove to a windup of its open hearings by getting the views of a parade of public witnesses. The admiral's statement taking issue with just about every argument made in favor of the pact was given to newsmen, but it did not contain the flat recommendation against ratification.

Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who presided, told newsmen about it afterward and Burke confirmed it. The admiral was followed in the closed hearing by Retired Gen. Nathan F.

Twining, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Air Force chief of staff. Sen. Stuart Symington, who presided, then told reporters the general opposed the treaty "from a military standpoint" but said he was not compe- 0PT Or) HAZLETON, Aug. 27 UP Henry Throne and David Fellin said Tuesday they feel sure the man trapped with them 14 days ago Louis Bova is still alive more than 300 feet underground. Both Throne, 28, and Fellin.

58. were reported in excellent condition at the hospital where they were taken after their rescue in the hours just after midnight. (See story and picture on Page 2B.) From his hospital bed, Fellin insisted oh working with rescue officials in drawing a detailed map that might guide them to Bova, who has been without food except for a lunch he may have carried since the coal mine cave-in at 9 a.m. Aug. 13.

Fellin's wife, Anna, said his concern for Bova was beginning to tell on his ability to sleep. She said he could talk of nothing but Bova, asserting. "I've got to try to help out my buddy." At the mine, two drilling rigs were Uted in renewed attempts to reach Bova who it 54 and the father of an eight- month-old son. His age has been given as 42, but his brother, John, said Tuesday it is 54. And, in nearby Shenandoah, Bova's wife, Eva.

entered a hospital. Her physician said sh was resting comfortably but declined to say why she is there. Throne, who reached the surface at 2:07 a.m., felt good enough Tuesday afternoon to hold a news conference. Fellin, who was saved at 2:41 a.m., did not talk with newsmen but he did spend considerable time with officials on Bova's behalf. Throne and Fellin came up in an open safety harness, in gay spirits, joking and in Fellin's case even breaking into song.

Before dawn, about six feet east of their escape hole, a giant drill began cutting a 12-inch hole in Bova's direction. Fellin suggested the drilling point. The rig moved at a rapid pace all day, then ran into a mechanical breakdown around the 135-foot level. A smaller rig moved slower, drilling a six-inch lifeline hole. Once the 12-inch hole is completed, it could be enlarged, as the Throne-Fellin escape hole was.

Preliminary plans also called for, once it is completed, sending down a super-sensitive microphone and an automatic camera. These are the fifth and sixth attempts to reach Bova. The miners last reported hearing from Bova on Aug. 20, but both think there is possibility that Bova may still be alive, existing on acid mine water. Throne and Fellin had only this type of water before a six-inch lifeline hole reached them a week ago Sunday just as they had been all but given up for dead.

Bova was farther down the shaft than the others, and separated from them by about 25 feet of debris. "We think we may have a good chance to rescue Bova." Gordon Smith, deputy state mines secretary, said after the talks with Fellin..
