Chase, general manager of Sunshine Mining said the addition of 11 names to the roll of missing came after "an exhaustive name-by-narne study of the company's personnel list." Chase said the number of confirmed dead from the fire which broke out in the mine last Tuesday remains at 35. One hundred and eight men escaped. Meanwhile, a power failure delayed discovery of the fate of the missing men, who have been unheard from since the fire started, and smoke and carbon monoxide gas filled the mine. Chase said Sunday the power outage and an exhaust fan malfunction which allowed some buildup of fumes near the shaft IH ended hope of progress before today. Outside the mine, families of the missing continued their vig-' il into the sixth day, holding on to a weakening thread of hope that the men still are alive.

The Steel Workers of America, which represents most of the miners here, said it is asking its president to use his influence to obtain a congressional investigation of the tragedy. Frank S. McKee, director of the union's western district, said the company had given its miners inadequate knowledge of escape routes and inadequate self-rescue equipment. MADISON, Wis. (AP) A study group's recommendation for closing penitentiaries does not answer the question of how taxpayers are to pay for penal security, the chief of Wisconsin prisons says.

Many felons "have to be in secure facilities, and these don't come cheaply," Sangor Powers said. "If the public policy of the state, as reflected by the legislature, is to place them in community-based facilities," he said, the taxpayers "would have to be prepared to pay for it." Powers was replying to a report by a subcommittee of the governor's Task Force on Offender Rehabilitation. A draft of the report was made public Saturday. The panel called for top priority in "closing of all major correctional institutions both adult and juvenile," and replacing the prisons "with a community-based treatment system by June 30, 1975." The subcommittee said it ac- a need for maximum security for some convicts, but that education, psychological support services, job opportunities and other agency rehabilitation would be better for the bulk of criminals. Powers cautioned against too much liberty for certain types of convicts.

Even with about 85 per cent of persons taken to criminal courts of Wisconsin being given probation, Powers said, the state still has "something like 2,600 adults in prison." "If my memory serves me right, something over 1,500 are there for serious crimes, including murder, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary and manslaughter," he said. Whether these 1,500 would be kind that people of this state would want in community facilities is a question the legislature would have to answer," Powers said. He said the penitentiary system needs improving, and that many inmates would respond better to rehabilitation in smaller, more personal institutions. But the subcommittee recommendation, he suggested, might be "an oversimplification of an extremely complex problem, made without regard to such concerns as public safety and welfare." The state's penal system is already working along the community-based line of treatment to a limited degree, he said, citing the 85 per cent given pro- that suddenly these people who cannot fit into society safely should be freed." "Naturally, there is going to have to be a maximum confinement he said. Chess Site KING OF SPICES In the United States, pepper always has been the king of imported spices.

Admittedly, there isn't a lot to be said for the state's 19th century penitentiaries at Waupun and Green Bay, he said, GRpSSINGER, N.Y. (AP) -American chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer has agreed to Iceland as the site of his 24- game world championship match against Boris Spassky of Russia. A spokesman for Fischer said that he would play "under conditions of the Icelandic bid, as yet unseen by him, and in accordance with such rules as have been laid down by FIDE (Intel-nation Chess Fedas yet not clarified to towns.

'We wouldn't build institu-1 tions like that today," Powers said. We would love to trade them for bright new institutions." Raymond Malmquist, chairman of the task force, said he suspects his panel may suggest closing the Green Bay penitentiary and the Taycheedah Home for Women in two years. None of his panel's members, Malmquist said, ''is of the mind Under conditions set in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, play will begin July 2 and the contestants will share a $125,000 purse, the winner getting $78,125 and the loser, $46,875. Earlier plans to stage the match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in June collapsed after Fischer demanded a share of the profits in addition to the prize. Reykjavik was awarded the 24-game title match April 28.
