casion to rejolce on A special day. Lori is Muskie Admits Making Circuit As 1972 Presidential Nominee By CARL P. LEUBSDORF Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Edmund S. Muskie's wide-ranging political travels have paid off with a blizzard of speaking invitations and aides say "he has to be taken seriously" as possible 1972 presidential candidate.
By end of April, an aide said, the Maine Democrat who was his party's 1968 vice presidential nominee, will have made 60 speeches in 27 states this year, an average of one every two days. He has also made speeches in Japan, Britain and Canada and is solidly booked into June. Muskie began his travels frankly admitting he is considering trying for the presidency three years from now. "At least," one Muskie aide said, "Democratic leaders in 27 states know there is an alternative for 1972 if he decides to run." By expanding his efforts outside Washington, the senator is following the route that led John F. Kennedy and Richard M.
Nixon to presidential nominations in 1960 and 1968, The flood of speaking invitations, aides said, "has in been recent noticeably increasing" weeks to some 25-50 a day. While Muskie had been on the stump, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, regarded as the Democrats' No. 1 potential 1972 candidate, has been busy learning the ropes as his party's Senate whip.
Kennedy is about to return to the banquet circuit after three months confinement to the Senate, but aides deny any intention to compete with Muskie. "If he were trying to compete with Muskie on' that score, he would do a lot more," said a Kennedy aide over the weekend. Another potential candidate for the 1972 Democratic nomina- Serving Our Flag RICHARD KOCKMAN Army Pvt. Richard L. Kochman, 19, of Gnadenhutten, has completed his basic training at Ft.

Villareal said methane gas apparently had accumulated in one of the mine pockets and ploded at 5:45 p.m. shortly after shift change. Three miners who had just finished work rushed back into the mine when the blast rocked houses in Barroteran.
Only one came out, saying his companions were trapped by cave-ins. Lopez said there was "a lot of confusion at first" and soldiers had to control the relatives. Later, "when they learned what had to be done, they calmed down and the soldiers were able to control the situation," he said. Dr. J.
Ramos director of the Red Cross hospital in nearby Sabinas, said he doubted any of the men would be found alive. "After the explosion they could have died from suffocation, toxic poisoning or from burning," he said. "It anyone is alive. it may take so long to get to them that they will die 1 from lack of oxygen. Unfortunately the explosion occurred at the mouth of the mine, so there was no escape." Mine company spokesmen estimated rescue operations would take between 24 and 48 hours, but a Red Cross spokesman in Mexico City said: "It the men were very deep, it might take a week." Red Cross workers and volunteers from nearby mines at Saltillo, Coahulla, Torreon, Nueva Rosita, Palau and Esperalta rushed to Barroteran to assist.
Fifteen miners en route from Nueva Rosita were injured when their truck overturned, and three were reported in critical condition The Mexican government made. avallable aircraft and supplies which were flown to the area shortly after midnight with additional Red Cross workers. The governor of Coahuila state, Bergeleo Berdusco, was on the scene supervising the rescue work. World Leaders Bid Ike Goodbye heir whom Eisenhower lived to see in the White House at last, will fly here for the final servIces. Nixon was blinking back tears as he left the train station in Washington Monday after the flag-covered coffin was carried aboard the funeral car to begin the trip in the twilight of a chill spring day.
Nixon led the great of the world as' they sat on simple cane chairs beneath the soaring splendor of the Washington National Cathedral to mourn the 78-year-old fallen President in a solemn state funeral. "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord," intoned the Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre dean of the cathedral and grandson of another president, Woodrow Wilson. The presidential widow, Mamie Doud Eisenhower, veiled in black, held onto the arm of her son John during the services and wept quietly at the last hymn: "Onward, Christian Soldiers." In the front row sat the tall, frowning figure of Charles de Gaulle, president of France, comrade in arms of Eisenhower and now, at 78, among the last of the allied leaders of that brutal war.
Lyndon B. Johnson, one of the nation's surviving ex-Presidents, returned to Washington for the first time for the funeral, exactly one year to the very day after his historic announcement that he would not run again, But missing from the 2,100 mourners was Milton S. Eisenhower, 68, youngest brother of the late President. Dr. Eisenhower, who collapsed with fatigue before the funeral, was considered in satisfactory condition today.
He remained overnight at Walter Reed Army Hospital, the same hospital where his brother died last Friday after an epic battle against seven heart attacks and, finally, congestive heart failure. From the towering Gothic cathedral, the body was borne by hearse to the train station in sight of the majestic dome of the U.S. Capitol, where Eisenhower had lain in state for the last day. A 21-gun salute at dusk, the measured cadence of military footsteps, a hush amid mourners, accompanied the simple soldier's casket to its black catafalque in the baggage! car. The doors were sealed.
Black crepe drapes were drawn across the single small window on each side of the funeral car. They will remain closed until the train reaches Abilene. Mourning Americans came by the hundreds and thousands to stand by the railroad tracks and watch the 10-car train pass on its saddened journey so much like that of Lincoln in another century.

Nixon Talks Informally To Leaders By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP).
President Nixon set aside his entire schedule today for private conferences with a dozen foreign leaders, including South Vietnam's vice president, NguyCao Ky. Nixon ruled out the presence of any advisors at the session, save for interpreters. The meeting site was his oval office. in the west wing of the White House. Ostensibly, the President's with foreign leaders who came here to attend funeral services for former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower were largely ceremonial in nature. However, press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler pointedly declined to rule out substantive discussions on world affairs. "There is no agenda," he said. Ky will be flying from Washtalks ington to the Vietnam peace in Paris and seemed certain he and Nixon would discuss that parley, as they did when they met in Paris a month ago during the chief executive's European tour.
Another ally in the Vietnam war, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, said en route to Washington that he had unspecified "urgent" matters he wanted to discuss with Nixon. In addition to Ky and Marcos, those scheduled to visit the White House at Nixon's invitation were: Prime Minister Mariano Rumor of Italy, John Gorton of Australia, Chung Il Kwon of South Korea, Marcello Caetamo of Portugal and Suleiman Demirel of Turkey. Also Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger of West Germany, the Shah of Iran, President Habib Bourguiba of Tunesia, Foreign Minister Joseph Luns of the Netherlands and former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi of Japan. Today's talks followed a large diplomatic reception Nixon gave at the White House Monday night for the heads of state and other dignitaries who came for the Eisenhower state funeral. Although Nixon talked with most of those attending the reception, the conversations apparently were social.

At Charlottesville, home of Thomas Jefferson and citadel of the Old South, the throng of 2,500 persons broke into "The Battle Hymn of the Republic;" the anthem of the North in the Civil War a century ago. By Charlottesville, the funeral train was already running hour late as its engines were changed for the steep run over the Blue Ridge Mountains. More crowds waited ahead along a the funeral route as it twisted through West Virginia, curved along the Ohio River to Cincinnati, and then plunged across the midlands to cross the Mississippi at St. Louis on its way westward. The family, perhaps recalled the deaths of two onlookers as the funeral train of Robert F.
Kennedy threaded its way through the throngs from New York to Washington only a year ago, had sought to avoid the crowds in trip barren of ceremony.

314, a relic of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad picked at random for the somber and historic journey. Fresh paint covered the patches of rust on the aging car, built before World War II when Eisenhower was still unknown to his nation. At the rear of the train was the plush private railroad car that had carried Eisenhower to Abilene in 1952 to announce his candidacy for the White House. Only a year ago it had carried him westward to the golfing vacation to California where he was stricken with the first of a series of heart attacks resulting in his death. Now it bore his widow, his son, and his grandson, David, who became 21 on the day of the funeral.
"Unto God's gracious mercy and protection we commit Dwight Eisenhower," prayed the bishop at the end of the solemn state funeral.
