(AP) -Employes of Sunshine Mine are expected to continue their testi improvements in the mine obviously are needed to make it truly safe. We are interested in the safety of all mine workers." The State of Idaho had passed Wednesday when called on to testify, but Thursday, the obviously irritated Departmnet of Interior hearing examiner, James M. Day, called on the 6tate again.

High, R-Twin Falls, has seconded the suggestidrr of Legislative Auditor James Defenbach that the state switch to an accural system of accounting. High, co-chairman of the Legislative Fiscal-Budget Committee, said he sees no reason for a special session of the legislature. Gov. Cecil D. Andrus said he will decide next month whether he will call a special session in an attempt to raise taxes to cover a general fund deficit.

He said he may order a spending cutback. High said the report of Defenbach identified nine agencies which illegally incurred debts in excess of their appropriations. "If this procedure is not corrected, there is virtually no limit to agency spending and the resultant state debt." High said. Defenbach recommended that the state change to an accrual basis of accounting, rather than the present cash flow basis. The Twin Falls senator said he hoped Defenbach's report would be considered objectively and urged both the legislative and executive branches to help solve the "money management problems so clearly defined in the report."

Ft. Carport Sunktn Living Room Community Calendar 3 Miners Bounced BOISE, Idaho (AP) Three Montana miners have been prohibited by court order from further mining activities along Sherlock Creek near St. Maries. Atty. Gen.

W. Anthony Park said the order bars James Click Eugene B. Weiss and Orrall Lake, all of Missoula, from dredge, placer or any other operations on mining claims in the area. Park said his office has been working with the mining partnership and the Forest Service to solve problems that have developed by the mining operation. Affidavits accompanying Park's request for a temporary restraining order said that dredging was taking place at the mine site and vegetation was being cleared.

The court order blocks the partners from any activities that, "do or tend to cause any condition of pollution of any kind of the waters of Sherlock Creek." The order also prohibits any clearing of vegetation in the area. A court hearing has been set for July 28 in 1st District court in Wallace. Escapee Is Sought POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) -Bannock County Sheriff's deputies continued searching Thursday for Eugene Bock, 44, American Falls, who fled last Tuesday from St. Anthony Community Hospital. Bock, who was being treated at the hospital for burns, had been charged with arson following the June 22 fire at the Con; tinental Barbershop.

Officials said Bock was not under guard at the hospital and was to be returned later to the jail. Spud Vote Is Counted BOISE, Idaho (AP) Tabulation of votes in the state potato referendum are under way and may be completed today, Agriculture Commissioner Oscar Arstein said. Between potato producers were eligible to vote on the measure, which, if approved, will raise an extra penny per hundredweight for the Idaho Potato Commission's promotion program. The increase would raise the assessment to 3 one-fourth cents per fy mony Friday at a hearing into the May 2 underground fire which killed 91 Sunshine ers. Several miners testified Thursday that smoke filled the 5 mine incredibly fast that day.

Tony Sabala, Mullin, a second-class pipeman, said he was in a pipe shop on the 6 foot level when he heard some-: thing and smoke boiled into the work area. "Everything was perfectly clear until something blew," he $: said. "Smoke was coming ter-rific it just went mad like a tonado." Sabala described the noise as the sound of a concussion rath-er than an explosion. Sabala said, "Someone thought about using the self-rescuers and got out a box (of them). I tried one but was coughing too hard.

Iremember (Fred E. Johnson say- ing 'you boys head for the Jew- ell (shaft)' and that's the last I saw of him." Johnson, a check foreman who died in the blaze, was with special projects foreman Har-vey Dionne when the fire broke out. Dionne testified Thursday he first noticed something was wrong after hearing someone yell He said he climbed some tim-ber on the level and saw smoke coming down from ft above. Dionne said the volume of smoke increased rapidly and spread over the timber pile after he reached the top. "there must have been a force behind it to spread it out so," he said.

Dionne and the rest of the Sunshine men who testified said they saw very few self-rescuer breathing units being used at the time of the fire. "I was told at one time or another how to operate the self-rescue device," he said, but liij added he did not believe it was during a formal training ses- sion. Gary W. Beckes, Pinehurst, an electrician with the mine, said, "I must have known something about the self-res- cuer, I might have picked up the box and read it sometime." The four men who testified Thursday said those who tried to use the self-rescue devices were not successful. Beckes said, "I tried the old-er model (of self-rescuer) and was unable to make it work.

But I learned since then I hadn't broken off the seal." Earlier Thursday Carl Burke, Sunshine Mining Co. counsel, testified no mining safety stat-utes or regulations were broken by the company and that to Sunshine's knowledge, no one was known to have been near the suspected source of the fire. "Sunshine is not here to make excuses," he said. "In light of what happened, many BOISK, Idaho (AP) International Silver Mint of Salt Lake City, was prohibited Thursday by a 4th District Court Judge from continuing a selling technique in Idaho alleged to be deceptive. In issuing a permanent injunction, Judge Alfred C.

Ha-gan said a technique using lectures by Robert Preston, based on his book "How to Prepare for the Coming Crash" was deceptive. lie said the lectures were bused on "expertise on a subject of political and economic theory of interest to most everyone." But, he added, the real purpose of the lecture is to sell silver. The court order was sought by the state attorney general's office which charged the com-pany with violations of the slate securities law and the Consumer Protection Act. In arguing against issuance of the injunction, the Salt Lake City corporation contended the silver or silver receipts were not securities. But Hagan ruled that the purchases money was subjected to the risks of an "enterprise over which the purchaser has no managerial control" Sidewalk Show, 10 a.m.

was just what we expected." said Frank Skol'f. vice-president ol the Chess Federation. "The general opinion ol Hie American camp is thai Fischer will win -even with the forfeit." Spassky was awarded Hie second game by forfeit on July 13. when Fischer refused to play because three movie cameras were stationed in the hall to film the match. The cameras were removed before the third game, and Fischer has refused to plav if thev are brought back.

Spassky defeated Fischer in the first game, then lost to him in the third, and the fourth was a draw. So in terms of actual play Fischer now has won two games to the Russian's one. The sixth game in the 24-game series is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. With a win counting one point and a draw half a point, Fischer needs 12' 2 IHiinls to take the title and with it $153,125 of the $245,000 prize money, while the Russian as the defending champion needs only 12 points to keep his crown and collect the winner's share ol the money. I Maying the white pieces Thursday afternoon, Spassky ied with his favorite queen's Ktwn opening.

Fischer went into a Nimzo-lndian defense, moving his knight to king's bishop three. The first five moves repeated the first game, which Spassky won, then Fischer took a new tack, exchanged his bishop for a knight and steadily increased the pressure. Spassky doomed himself on his 27th move, moving his queen to square B2 to protect his rooks pawn. Fischer seized on the opportunity, made an unexpected sacrifice BxRP and Spassky immediately realized his position was hopeless.
