A woman's vision of the coming of the -Lord which will "destroy all who are wicked on the earth," has prompted- eight Huntingburg families to seek refuge in an abandoned coal mine.

The 40 persons, all members of Huntingburg Pentecostal Church, have equipped the mine 6 miles east of here with bunks, sanitary facilities, battery-powered lights and a ventilation system. The congregation, including Its pastor, the Rev. Ted Kendall, acted on a warning from Mrs. Juanita Coomer, 29, mother of two. "It will not be the end of the world but rather a beginning of God's world," Mrs.

Coomer there is room in the' mine for husband and her father, Chester ui vauu said. 'She said she first received word of terrible destruction when she and her husband, Lonnie. were living in he was employed as a coal miner. "After the Lord told me to go to Huntingburg, Lonnie quit his job, we sold our home and rented a house in' Huntingburg," she said. She told the Rev.

Mr. Kendall of her revelation and said that after praying he also received a message which confirmed her report. Mrs. Coomer said a member of the congregation, Mrs. Hazel Grooms of Shoals reported she also had received confirmation.

The congregation, reporting 60 more persons, has sent warnings to friends, relatives and acquaintances in 48 states. The message reads: 'There isn't much time'to get ready, there will be a coming of the Lord on the 16tti of March. It will shake the earth that you are on and will destroy all who are wicked on the earth. Before this date.we are to gather food and 'water in abundance." Mrs. Coomer said her vision contained a reference to the earth being "shaken from one end to the other" and a barren land that will be left.

She received instructions to find "a place to lodge deep within the earth." The mine purchased by her Tedrow, a former mine operator, is the closest to the type 'described in her prophecy, she said. She said although she was instructed to stock the cavern food, they are preparing to live with a three-month supply food; they are preparing to live in the mine only two weeks. A low tunnel, leading 150 feet Into the main caverns where the congregation will stay, will be sealed with a large stone slab. A nylon carpet covers a layer of straw on the hard stone floor. "It's hard to explain how the word comes from Juanita," her mother said.

based Saigon government fashioned by South Viet Nam's military leaders is expected to continue as long, as it combats Communist subversion and aggression. High State Department officials say they do not consider the new government headed by Premier Nguyen Xuan Oanh a clean sweep of the preceding government. It is noted that the change has made the political situation in Saigon more uncertain and has delayed decisions on the battle against the Viet Cong guerrillas. Washington that an anti-American trend was developing in some parts of-the country and that some Buddhist leaders feel they are at the mercy of the big nations that have a stake in the outcome of the war. The U.S.

attitude, officials here say, is that if South Viet Nam is sufficiently determined, its government will get effective U.S. help. If this determination is not forthcoming from the leadership, it will be difficult for anyone to help them, the officials said. The administration's attitude also was reflected by Rep. Clement J.

Zablocki, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Far East. After a 2V4-hOur briefing Thursday by Wilfem P. Bundy, assistant secretary of state in charge Far Eastern affairs, Zablocki said: "When Gen. Nguyen Khanh was the head of the Viet Nam government, he stated he would try to develop a civilian government that could obtain broad popular support. "I am hopeful that on his second try he will do better and will go forward, with his announced plans to have a worka- ble civilian-type government." The Wisconsin legislator add' ed it would be "unthinkable" to remove Taylor.

"He is doing a good job, as he was told to do," Zablocki said. Zablocki said the differences between Khanh and Taylor are not of a scope or importance that would make it impossible for them to work together. Columnists See Impact Of Jiecent Developments Three famous newspaper columnists will have some illuminating comment on current news, in their reports in The Kokorab Tribune, on Saturday. Joseph Alsop detects signs in Washington that the American government is persuading itself that a U.S. defeat in Viet Nam will not start other Asian governments tumbling into the Communist sphere like falling dominoes.

But Alsop suggests evidence that U.S. withdrawal from Viet Nam will cause other pro-western governments to waver. David Lawrence speculates on whether the wage- price line can be as President Johnson hopes. He comments on the effect that further devaluation of American currency can have. William Buckley Jr.

devotes his column to a discussion of the stunning 'defeat of Patrick Gordon Walker, the British foreign minister, in a recent election in Britain and its impact on the socialistic Wilson government in that country.
