MAN SCALES
MI. LOGAN FOR
SECOND TIME
(Continued from Page It
The snow and ice capped moun
'ain rises high just inside the
Yukon territory to the north of
Yakutat. Alaska, between Cordova
and Juneau.
Read. Roch and an Alaskan guide,
Severet Jacobsen" of Chitina, Alas
ka. made plans carefully but every
thing went wrong.
They left Cordova May 8 by
plane and landed on Olgivie glacier
near the mountain. A second
plane was to drop supplies but
when it arrived strong winds scat
tt red the food and equipment over
an eight mile area.
Waited for Supplies
Wearing only what they had on
when they left Cordova. Read and
Roch waited 18 days in their iittie j
lent at the 7.000-foot base camp j
for new supplies to be flown in.
They starled their climb May 26. j
pulling heavy sleds behind them.
For 12 days they lived above j
14.000 feet in temperatures of 15
below zero. They had worked their
tortuous way to the 17.500 loot
level when a three-day s‘ orm
struck them.
Jacobsen, who had gone back
for supplies, was cut off from the
advance base and Read and Roch
decided to go alone. They had ■
carried just four day's supplies to
this advance point and all they
had to eat was a little soup, rais
ins and chocolate.
Final Ascent
Early June 17, the two men start
ed the final ascent. .They plodded
50 yards, then had to rest, plodded
another 50 and rested again as
they fought lor oxygen in the rar
ified air.
Up and up they climbed until
they reached the lower of two
peaks, just 50 feet below the high
est point. They went down the
other side and climbed the higher |
pinnacle, between the peaks they I
left a low weather thermometer,
along with supplies they discarded
as they made the final push.
BERTHA ELLINGER HURT
IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENT
Friends of Mrs. Bertha Ellinger
will be sorry to learn that she has
been kurt in a highway accident,
but relieved that her injuries ap
• parently are not critical.
A telegram received this morning
by Mrs. Kate Smith said Mrs. El
linger, enroute from Salt Lake City
to San Francisco, was injured in
a bus accident near Battle Moun
tain, Nev. The wire said she w'as
returning to Salt Lake City to re
cuperate from shock and bruises.
Mrs. Ellinger was enroute to at
tend the biennial convention of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs. She Is immediate past presi
dent of the Juneau BPWC. As she
was a member of the convention
nominating committee which" was to
meet yesterday, it Is presumed that
the accident happened Saturday.
Mrs. Gladys Vuille, who was to
attend the convention as alternate,
now will serve as delegate for the
Juneau club, according to Mrs.
Smith, president.

spite the battering the people took
in what Sen. Tydings <D-Mo) called
a test to see how far the Com
munists could go in their expan- j
ion program before the Demo-1
era tic world would call a halt.
The State and Defense Depart-,
merits, over the initial emergencyj
period of spot decisions, studied j
the whole Orient situation with a|
view to warding off' possible Com- I
muni.st aggression at other weak j
points. The possibility of trouble in j
the vital Panama Canal Zone was!
not overlooked, either, and troops
were on an alert status.
Moscow’s press kept up a drum- j
fire of propaganda against U.S. ac- j
tions. apparently intent upon stir-j
ring the Russian public to indigna- j
tion.
First Sea Fight
The British Admiralty reported |
(hat neither British nor American ;
warships which engaged six motor j
torpedo boats off East Korea suf- ;
fered any damage in the first sea ,
fight of the war. Five of the six j
Korean vessels were sunk yesterday I
and shore installations were shelled.!
A rail movement was under way of t
Communist troops from the area of j
Seoul toward Suchow. Aerial ob
servers spotted the troop trains j
moving to a concentration point !
north of Suwon. At least one such j
train was attacked by American j
fighter planes.
