-Th. It Prtti, Logantport, Ind 122 Mines Designated Hazardous WASHINGTON The U.S. Bureau of Mines has designated 122 coal mines in the nation, including one in Indiana, as the most "potentially hazardous and has ordered daily inspections of them for at least three months. Singled out in Indiana was the Kings Mine, Kings Station Princeton. Three of the mines designated were in Illinois.

The new compilation, based on six factors, was released Monday by Donald P. Schlick, the bureau's chief safety enforcer, Schlick said the inspections began Oct. 1 and would last until the first of the year, when a new compilation will be made. Nearly half the mines are in West Virginia, which topped the listing with 58 mines so designated. Pennsylvania had the second most with 31 mines, followed by Virginia 8, Kentucky 7, Ohio and Colorado 5 each, Illinois and Utah 3 each, and Indiana and Alabama 1 each.

There was no individual ranking of the mines. Schlick, deputy mines director for health and safety, said the bureau decided to issue the list in a new drive toward preventing mine accidents, of reacting after accidents occur. "If the mine worker knows he's in a potentially hazardous mine, he'll work much safer," Schlick said. The six factors going into the designation were a computer listing of the density of mine law violations compared to hours of inspection by the bureau; another computer listing by accident frequency; number of fatalities; excessive quantities of methane gas or other explosive conditions; need for enforcement presence, and education and training of miners. "In the bureau's judgment, there is no number one or worst mine in the country," Schlick said.

"There are mines that, at any given time, are potentially more hazardous than others." In Illinois, they were No. 21 Mine, Old Ben Coal Sesser; Orient No. 3 Mine, Freeman Coal Mining Weltonville, and Eagle No. 1 Mine, Peabody Coal Shawneetown. Remembered AUSTIN, Tex.

Wcdntldty, Octobtr 11, 1972 Finance Minister Challenged To Duel BRUSSELS (UPI)-The finance minister and the tobacco retailer argued about taxes. It ended, according to the retailer, with the finance minister saying "I do not talk with an idiot. You can drop dead." The result may be a duel on the battlefield at Waterloo.

The retailer expects an apology. If he doesn't get it, he says two seconds will visit the finance minister and make arrangements for the duel. Edouard Lekeux, Belgian association of tobacco retailers chairman, said Monday, "it's a question of honor. In our family honor is an important thing." A spokesman for, Finance minister Andries Vlerlck would not comment. "I have not been able to contact the minister on this matter," he said.

Lekeux, 47, glancing at his father's sword, said in an interview, "I cannot say I am a fencing champion, but if minister Vlerick has the courage to meet me on the Waterloo battlefield he will find out what I can do." Lekeux's association has been quarreling for weeks with the minister about taxes. Saturday the two spoke on the ohone and Lekeux said he challenged the minister to a radio debate. The conversation ended with the insult, Lekeux said. Duels are illegal under Belgian law, nevertheless te- keux said he wants to meet Vlerick in front of the lion of Waterloo, the monument commemorating the defeat of Napoleon by the English in 1815. Althought Lekeux said he is not a great fencer, he comes from a military family.

His father was a colonel with the crack Chasseurs Ardennais and his uncle was chaplain general of Belgian forces in the United Kingdom during World War II. 'Lekeux's association claims large discount shops, selling tobacco products under a fixed price, pay less taxes to the state than retailers selling at the official price. The ministry said the taxes remain the same whatever the selling price.

Underneath the Sioux would find again the flowering prairie, the herds of buffalo, the clouds of birds. The Sioux did the Ghost Dance until they fell from exhaustion. It was not time for this to happen then, says Lame Deer, who describes himself as a full- blood Sioux and "wicasa wakan" or medicine man. Lame Deer, born 70 years ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, says he knows the white man's has been a rodeo soldier in World War II, potato-picker, sheepherder, bootlegger, car thief, prisoner, tribal policeman, signpainter. Now he has collaborated with Richard Erdoes, artist-writer-photographer, on a book, "Lame Deer Seeker of Visions," recently published by Simon Schuster.

He and his wife, Ida, now live in Winner, S.D., with two foster children. Lame his own language, Tahca Ushte, and in the white man's way of names, John believes in the spirit behind the rolling up of the earth. Man Destroys Earth The Great Spirit does not destroy the earth; man does, Lame Deer said in an interview on a visit to New York, and he has had a vision about the return of the rolling up spirit, among Indians, whites and blacks, especially the young. "Let's roll up the earth," he said. "It needs it." Lame Deer said he is not an outside, white inside," but that he considers the white man his brother.

Stones, herbs, all living things, are his relatives. He said he was the sort of medicine man who could heal and that, for instance, there's a herb he knows that a man can smoke to cure As a holy man, however, he is primarily a vision seeker, and in seeking visions will talk to a plant, an ant, a tree, anything because the Great Spirit dwells in all things. He also has tried peyote but he no longer uses it, he said. Puzzled by Adam He said it was hard to explain Indian religion to the white man but that the white man's religion is no more readily explainable to those alien to it. "Adam don't have any mother- in-law," he said by way of example.

"How you gonna answer me that?" Lame Deer's grandfathers, Good Fox and Crazy Heart, fought with Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to defeat Custer at Little Bighorn, and he said his grandfather told a different story of Custer's end than the white man's version. "They never lied," Lame Deer said of his grandfather and those other Sioux soldiers, "Strong men, they got one tongue, see. None of them said, 'I killed None of them." Lame Deer said he was told that Custer, dressed in buckskins, was mistaken in the smoke and excitement for an Indian. "On the white man's side," he said, "they were so damn scared, they thought it was a. chief coming in, so they knocked him in the water." Crazy Horse was looking for the enemy general after the battle and was told there was an Indian "floating around down in the Indian with blond hair.

"Mr. Indian, he respects people," Lame Deer said. "He don't like to tell them, 'You killed your own He don't like to say that. So he never said anything." Use Sears Revolving Charge Cozy comfort for your feet. Fleecy upper of shaggy acrylic pile.
