Nixon Welcomes 1960 Competition MADISON, Wis. or) Vice President Richard M. Nixon, campaigning across Wisconsin, hung a wide-open sign Friday on the 1960 Republican presidential nomination contest. Cites Halt In Living Costs WASHINGTON jR President Eisenhower Friday hailed the announcement that the cost of living remained unchanged last month as proof that busi-nass recovery is possible without inflation. "We must preserve this stability in the value of the dollar without recourse to stifling controls," Mr.

Eisenhower said. i Papal Vote By American Cardinals OK grim, night-long watch at WITH (BCD See Little Hope Trapped Miners WHML In an unusual news confer-1 ence aboard the chartered plane carrying him from state to state to plug for Republican candidates, Nixon practically invited Nelson Rockefeller to fight it out with him for the nomination if Rockefeller is elected governor of New York. ROCKEFELLER himself said in New York, after a breakfast with the Vice Presi dent, he has "no interest in the presidential nomination." Nixon, who is obviously driving for first place on the 1960 ticket, indicated he thinks Rockefeller might change his mind if he becomes governor. Adopting an air of the-more-the-merrier, Nixon volunteered that President Eisenhower had told him in 1955 that the President wanted to develop more presidential timber within the party. Nixon maintained, as Rockefeller had after their meeting in New York, that there is no rift between them.

He said he supports Rockefeller's course of campaigning on state, rather than national, issues. There had been some reports that Rockefeller was unenthusiastic about Nixon's campaigning in New York. Rockefeller said this was "bunk." Nixon called it "flap." In Wisconsin, which has one of the hardest-fought Senate races, Nixon banged away on the theme that "radical" Democrats are threatening to take over control of Congress. Nixon obviously was aiming his shafts directly at Democratic Senator William Prox-mire, who is opposed by Republican Roland J. Steinle.

It still is 2.1 per cent higher than a year ago. Mr.

Eisenhower said, "The report shows that for the second successive month the retail cost of food to the American housewife is down. To be sure, some retail prices have gone up in recent months, but others are lower than they have been in a year or more. "This means that the recent gains in weekly earnings of American workers represent real increases in buying power, not just offsets against higher prices. "These earnings have increased more than 5 per cent since February. Their actual buying power is higher than it has been for well over a year and is 15 per cent above what it was in 1952.

Rescue teams fought deadly gas, rock and debris to bring out six bodies from the mine, shattered Thursday night by a tremendous underground up heaval. Eighty -one men staggered to safety, 17 of them injured. "There is practically no hope, but rescue operations will continue until the last man is accounted for," said Harold Gordon, an official of the firm which operates North America's deepest coal mine.

Gordon, chief of the collle'ry operations of the Dominion Steel Coal brought the word of the lost hope hours after teams of rescue men entered the mine. Gordon said the two lowest levels of the mine were shattered. Floors heaved upward, jamming machinery and conveyers against the roof.

Miners coming to the surface said gas was so bad there Turn to Page 2, Column 2 that even men with respirators could not penetrate it. Gordon said the only reason hope still was held for men at the third level 13,000 feet from the pithead was that they have not been located.

AT THE first sound of the rumbling that accomp a i Thursday night's disaster, the miners' families feared the worst. Mothers, fathers, children and other relatives of the miners flocked to the pithead for what turned out for ome be an all-night vigil. Mayor Ralph Gilroy, who said earlier the disaster may mean the end of Springhill mining, vowed later: "There always will be a Springhill." "Miners of Springhill are a very peculiar breed," he added.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mich- niak, 8430 Birch, Taylor Center, finally abandoned hope late in the day for Michniak's father, Theodore, 57. He was one of 87 men trapped in the mine. THE SECOND family, Mr.

The question was raised 10 days ago by Glenn L. Archer, of Washington, executive director of Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State. ins ORGANIZATION cited a section of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act which says a citizen "shall lose his nationality by voting in a political election in a foreign state or participating in an election or plebiscite to determine the sovereignty over foreign territory."
