The rescue squads will keep on until the last of the 55 still miss- ing from last Thursday's disaster are found, dead or alive. The 12, rescued at dawn, said they left dead comrades behind them in their tunnel. But there was hope that others might have been as lucky as the 12 in finding a life-saving pocket in the debris. The dozen miners told a story of hunger, thirst, prayer and de- spair during six days of entomb- ment. 'Just Prayed' "I just lay there and I prayed," said one miner of the days of darkness deep in the mine. And then when the click of a rescue crewman's pick yesterday told them deliverance was near, "I hollered, God, how I hollered," The ordeal for the 12 began Thursday night when a massive shift of the earth - caused by pressures deep in the mine - trapped 174 men and killed at least 26. Each of the 12 had lost about 10 pounds but doctors said they were in surprisingly good condi- tion. Caught by 'Bump' Hugh Guthro, 31 years old, said the upheaval of rock and coal - miners call it a bump - caught his group two miles from the en- trance of Cumberland Mine No. Two and more than 4,000 feet be- low the surface. There was dust and darkness and confusion. Buried up to his chest, Guthro could hear the cries of the dying. "The floor came up and the ceiling came down," Wilfored Hunter said. Money Issues In Convention Called Thorny (EDITOR'S 'NOTE: This is the ninth in a series of 10 articles writ- ten by Prof. Arthur W. Bromage of the University's political science de- partment on the question of calling a Constitutional Convention. That issue will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.) By ARTHUR W. BROMAGE Mdney issues facing any consti- tutional convention called in Michigan for next year will be thorny. Restrictions on the state's fiscal capacity have been added one by one. The total effect has put the state in the red. To borrow more than $250,000, except for emergencies like repell- ing invasion, the state has to take drastic steps. No longer enough to touch most state undertakings, this sum is named in the Consti- tution as the maximum for which the Legislature may pledge the state's full faith and credit. Loans of any size, such as the straits bridge necessitated, have to be secured on revenue bonds - that is bonds pledging merely the revenue of the particular project. Amendment Needed The only way td float general obligation bonds above the set amount is to pass a separate amendment. As a result, amendments to bor- row have been frequent: high- ways, veterans' bonuses for the two world wars and Korea, hospi- tals, a loan fund for school dis- tricts. It would be a lot simpler to allow the Legislature by statute. subject to popular referendum, to authorize the borrowing of neces- sary funds. As far as revenues are con- cerned, about two thirds of the state's income is earmarked in advance. The Legislature has little room to turn in making both ends meet. The problem has increased since the 1908 Constitution was, written because of piecemeal amendments. Motor fuel and vehicle taxes are, for instance, assigned to highway use. As to the sales tax, two out of every three cents goes into the school aid fund, an ad- ditional one-half cent is distribut- ed to counties for division among other local units by population.

Report Says State Poor For Firms LANSINGP) - A report s y ing corporation executives viewf Michigan as a poor site for newf industry was dumped into the po-s litical campaign today. . Democratic leaders denounced itt as a "smear" by a "phoney Re-t publican front." The 11-page, paper-bound docu- ment gave the results of a survey of 113 corporation executives to assess the "attitude of a state gov- ernor toward industry" as a factor in plant location. It will sell for $50 a copy. Ordered by CABM9 The survey was ordered, and the report released, by the Citizens Alliance to Build Michigan, head- ed by Laurence W. Love, Battle Creek manufacturer and former Calhoun County R e p u blic a n chairman. Love described the group, or- ganized last May, as non parti- san and said its object was to find out the facts about Michi-1 gTPs economic ills. The, report was compiled by Market Facts, Inc., of Chicago. It said 40 per cent of 113 executivesr interviewed rated Michigan worst among five Great Lakes states on the question of the governor's at- titude toward industry." Other considerations b e i n g equal, about one-fifth of corpora- tion leaders said an unfavorable attitude of a state administration would be the controlling factor in a plant location decision, the re- port said._ Four Others Compared Offered for comparison with Michigan were Ohio, Indiana, Il- linois, and Wisconsin. As to the 'worst state' question, 60 per cent made no choice. Of those who did, one singled out Wisconsin with the rest naming Michigan, the report showed. Neil Staebler, Democratic State Chairman, denounced the Citizens Alliance as a Republican front three days after it was formed and did so again yesterday. "I would just note in passing that all of the states covered by the so-called survey except Mich- igan have Republican governors," Staebler said. No Real Conclusion "All this survey proves is that the heads of 113 corporations prefer to see Republicans in, of- fice and this is hardly an as- tonishing conclusion." Democratic Gov. G. Mennen Williams called the report part of the Republican "smear Michigan campaign." "I think the agents of other states trying to take business away from Michigan will be glad to pay the $50 a copy price," he added.

Today's award is the fourth Nobel Prize for this year. The only other Nobel Prize remaining to be awarded, for peace, will be an- nounced later. Geneticist Receives Prize In awarding half of the medical prize to Lederberg the committee said it was "for his discoveries concerning genetic recombination and the organization of the gene- tic material of bacteria." The term genetic recombination means sexual life in the world of bacteria. Lederberg discovered that from the geneticists' viewpoint "This corresponds exactly to the normal sexual fertilization in the higher organisms." The committee said the other half of the prize goes to Beadle and Tatum "for their discovery that genes act by regulating spe- cific chemical processes." Understanding Aided Prof. Torbiorn Casperson of the awarding group, an expert on genetics, said this discovery "of- fered the first chance to under- stand the mode of action of the genes" and is one of the founda- tions of modern genetics. The research of the two Ameri- cans was based largely on a red bread mold called Neurospora Crassa. Any strain of this mold can be multiplied a million times in two days without genetic change. By disturbing the function of its genes, researchers have been able in a short time to figure out some fundamental chemical mech- anism of heredity. Mold Irradiated Beadle and Tatum bombarded the bread mold with radiation un- til they produced organisms which could not make certain necessary amino acids. They then knew they had changed or destroyed a specific gene in the cell. One by one they created new types of mold cells lacking the power to make one or another of the amino acids. This led them to the idea that genes might be manipulated in man to prevent him from growing harmful cells, such as cancer, or perhaps make him immune to many diseases. Police Arrest EMC Student YPSILANTI - State Police last night arrested David Martin, an Eastern Michigan college sopho- more, on charges of illegal occu- pation-handling football betting cards. Martin has been under inves- tigation by Ann Arbor police since the gambling crack-down came last Friday. He was arrested at the request of city police on a warrant by Municipal Judge Francis O'Brien. He will be arraigned today. I dawn the island. o 1.e On the offshore island battle- front, the hostilities lapsed into sporadic shelling from Communist shore batteries. Light Shelling Reported A dispatch from shell-pocked Quemoy reported a light artillery duel through yesterday which con- tinued after nightfall. He said the firing lifted by 9' p.m., and a lull settled in during the late evening hours. The Reds have followed this pattern of light, intermittent shelling- since they announced their day-on, day-off tactics last Saturday. On Quemoy also, the Nationalist garrison was called out for a troop ceremony honoring Chiang's birth- day. Face Two Firing Days The Nationalist garrison on the Quemoys faced the prospect for the first time of two odd-numbered or "shelling days" in a row. The odd-numbered days are the ones on which the Communists, by their own ground rules, are permitted unlimited shelling of the offshore islands. On the even- numbered days, they say in the half cease-fire announcement last Saturday ,they would not bomb beaches, wharves or airstrips. I i ATOMIC TEST SITE. Nev.

She took this step on the eve of important three-power talks on the problem of policing a perman- ent ban on such ,testing. Instead, the Soviet Union called for an "immediate and universal cessation, for all time, of nuclear weapons tests"--without regard to whether the three atomic nations can reach agreement upon a sys- tem to prevent cheating. Accusations by Russians The Russians accused the Amer- icans and British of suggesting the one-year test suspension go into effect after they had pushed through a test firing program. The statement repeated a Soviet warning earlier' this week, reserv- ing the right to continue testing Russian weapons on a bomb-for- bomb basis with the West. But the United States countered in Washington with an announce- ment that unless the Russians carry out another nuclear weapons test, the United States will main- tain its own ban for one year Candidates +' qua~, Du ii aczieu 'i'Tbeginning today. up rolling effect.
