She said the group scaled the
last pinnacle Saturday. Hackett
represented the aWny ground
forces on the expedition of the
New England museum of natural
history, led by Washburn.
The climb to the towering 20,300
foot crag made Mrs. Washburn the
first woman in history to stand on
the top of America.
Washburn himself had made
the ascent before.
The newest trek to the topmost
North American land climaxed
two months of preparation by the
expedition sponsored by the mu

major objective of establishing a
cosmic ray station at 18,000 feet.
The Museum said its report
came by radio from the mountain.
Hackett reported valuable
equipment to be used for measur

when a 100-mile gale struck about
the first of June. The party at the
time was living in igloos on the

Chinese Charge
NANKING, </P) — A Chinese
government spokesman, declaring
“This is no ordinary frontier inci
dent,” charged Russia today with
partial responsibility for an outer
Mongolian invasion of China’s re
mote Sinkiang province.
The government instructed its
ambassador in Moscow to protest
the incident to both the Soviet
government and to the outer Mon
golian minister there as the after
math of a punitive campaign
which carried a Mongol cavalry
battalion 50 miles into China.
Chang Yuan-Chang, foreign of
fice spokesman, gave no reasons
why China was protesting direct
ly to Moscow and declined com
ment on whether warplanes with
Soviet markings had supported the
Mongol attack, as reported by the
official Central News agency.
Outer Mongolia, however, is pro
! Soviet.
! The Mongols rode into Sinkiang
! Friday, apparently to attempt to
j force the release of eight Mongo
lian soldiers held by the Chinese.
! Two Chinese soldiers were re
! ported killed and others wounded
in the initial assault on Peitashan.
Chinese sources said today a num
ber of Mongols were killed when
Chinese warplanes ordered to dis

In Mukden Area
_ .
(By Harold K. Milks)
NANKING, (/P)—Artillery regi
ments were flown into Mukden
yesterday to strengthen the Man
churian city’s outer defenses gs
strong Communist forces battered
Szepingkai to the north and the
Fushus area to the east.
Mukden dispatches to the pro
govemment newspaper Hsin Min
Pao said 50,000 Red troops hr*'
renewed attacks on Szepingkai, 60
miles southwest of Changchun on
the Mukden-Changchun railway.
The same dispatch said severe
fighting had developed around
government-held Fushun, 20 mile*'
east of Mukden. The report sa! ^
the Communists appeared to b~
moving troops in to form an arc
around Mukden on the north an ’
east.
From Changchun, the offic*0'
Central News Agency reported the
arrival of Gen. Sun Li-Jen, Amer
ican-trained former commander of
the government’s crack first army.
He left his command because of
differences with Manchurian com
manders but < was recalled when
’ i »
:the Communist offensive devel
oped.
Travelers reaching Peiping from
Antuhf, on the Korean border,
said the situation within Antung
three days ago was critical. This
lent credence to a Chinese news
i report that the nationalists had
j evacuated the strategic city under
j Communist fire.
