(R) - The 21 men trapped two days ago when a fierce fire erupted in a salt' rnine's elevator shaft were found dead yesterday. Rescue crews first found 16 of them, huddled like children in sleep, in a tunnel 3,000 feet from the shaft. The other five were lo- cated a few hours later. "All 21 are now accounted for," announced a weary spokesman for Cargill, Inc., the Minneapolis firm that owns the isolated coastal mine. The disaster came eight months after the Federal Bureau of Mines recommended that the mine sink a 4second shaft as an escape route and for ventilation, and install various fire controls. cluding at least 30 men sentenced as nationalist terrorists. The executive council is review- ing their cases to decide whether to reprieve or execute them. , The six expected to be hanged next week are Hebert Crambo, Amen Chikwakwata, John Ndhlo- vo, Francis Chisoro Chirisa. Taka Jeremiah, and Samson Majengwao. Attorneys Appeal Their attorneys have appealed to Rhodesian'authorities for clem- ency and efforts were reported in London to save the men. In London Prime Minister Har- old Wilson ruled out any reprisal action that could sever Britain's frail link with its former colony. Wilson attempted to enlist sup- port of the Conservatives and Lib- erals for an all party resolution in Parliament accusing Smith's re- gime of an inhuman, unlawful and immoral act. But Conservative leader Edward Heath would not go along.I Shows Restraint Wilson said his government is showing restraint partlyhbecause of the others under the death sentence. There were also fears in London that mass hangings in Rhodesia could provoke the blacks into starting a massacre. One Laborite member of the British House of Commons, Wil- liam Molloy, called for an emer- gency meeting of the Common- wealth nations to consider means of bringing down Smith's regime. At UN headquarters in New York, demands for Security Coun- cil action came from the UN Com- mittee on Colonialism and the UN Commission on Human Rights. Tet Attacks NResignation S.

A petition Thursday received the required signatures of more than one third of the House ' membership-setting the stage for what could be weeks of political testing for President Nguyen Van Thieu. It was learned yesterday the petition calls to task Premier Nguyen Van Loc, the director of national police, and the ministers of defense and interior. The four are charged vith not knowing about plans for the Com- munist Tet offensive and with not dealing effectively enough with it after it began.

The generals insisted that No- votny, ousted as Communist party leader in January, step down from the lesser post and assume personal responsibility in the case of Maj. Gen. Jan Sejna, a for- mer defense minister who de- fected to the United States. Novotny was replaced Jan. 5 as Communist party chief by Alex- ander ,Dubeck although allowed to retain the presidency. Novotny's demotion was consid- ered the prelude to liberal reforms to quiet the country's restless in- tellectuals. Czechoslovakia is expected to press its demand for extradition of Senja, but government sources say it isn't likely he will be re- turned. Highest Officer The Czech army's top political officer, Senja is considered the highest East European military man to flee to the West. Ambassador Karel Duda of Czechoslovakia submitted the re- quest Thursday for Senja's re- turn. They assailed the administra- tion of justice during "the period of serious deformations of the norms in party and public life"- a reference to Novotny's 10 years as party chief. In addition to Novotny, they demanded that other party and government officials resign, in- cluding Miroslav Mamula, the former state security chief of the party's Central Committee. Little Beria Mamula has been dubbed the "mini Beria" by Czechs, a ref- erence to Lavrenti P. Beria, .the head of the Soviet NKVD, the secret police under Joseph Stalin.

The heightened run on gold reflected growing speculation that President Johnson will not be able to keep defending the U.S. gold price of $35 an ounce. About 75 tons of gold flowed out of London-the main market for the international gold pool-and pressure on gold was also reported in Paris, Zurich and Frankfurt markets. Since the current gold rush be- gan a week ago, dealers estimate about $225 milloin worth of gold has been sold to private specula- tors and possibly some smaller na- tion's central banks anxious about their dollar and other currency holdings., Dollar rates slumped across Eu- rope, reflecting the demand for gold; the pound, closing at $2.3925, dropped to its lowest level since devaluation from $2.80 to $2.40 in November. U.S. Federal Reserve Board chairman William McChesney Martin flew to Basel, Switzer- land to attend the monthly meet- ing of central bankers for the first time since June. Financial quar- ters in Zurich said both British and American delegates would be sharply questioned on their inten- tions to overcome unfavorable payments balances.

Kerner's resignation before the expiration of his term would auto- matically turn over the governor- ship to another Democrat, Lt. Gov.{ Samuel Shapiro. Shapiro already has been se- lected as the party's nominee for governor in the November elec- tion.

The teachers were asked to re- turn to their classrooms Monday by the association president, Dex- ter Hagman.
