Conquerers of Mount
Everest Tell of Close Calls

moment just before victory. They
had to decide whether to go on
when they were almost in sight
of the top. The snow was rather
unstable and their supply of oxy
gen was running short. But they
agreed to risk it.
Hillary said: “When we got to
'the top the main thought was one
of relief and then then we were
very pleased about it but our
senses were rather dulled because
of oxygen. Our main worry then
was the descent and whether the
oxygen would hold out.” ,
Tenzing, a native of Nepal who
does not speak or understand
English, smiled as h$ met the
crowd of more than 100 newsmen
and cameramen.
“Thrills, Chills, No
Spills” On Oomiak Outing
(Continued from Page One)
ed walrus attacked the oomiak
but fortunately was killed in time
to save the party from a disas
trous spill.
Members of the party stated
that Cecil Stoner, who deserted
the party at Diomede for Russia,
was a very inconspicuous person
on the trip, did little talking, and
was helpful to the crew.
The party enjoyed their stop
at Teller, where they slept on the
beach. The women particularly
enjoyed the friendliness of the
Mesdames Marks, Peterson,
Vogen, and the Tweet family, who
are such outstanding pioneer
women of the Far North.
The trip might be summed up
with “thrills, chills and no spills.”
Mt. Everest is about as far north
as central Florida.

Man Takes Own Life,
Husband of Woman Slain
In Unsolved Murder
SEATTLE, UP)— Richard S. (Dick)
Law, former Aberdeen labor
leader, has joined in death the
wife whose murder in 1940 left
one of Washington State’s major
unsolved mysteries, the Post-In
telligencer reported today. Law’s
body was found Wednesday in
the Governor Hotel in Olympia.
He was 46.
Law left three notes indicating
he had committed suicide, Thurs
ton County Coroner Dr. Kenneth
L. Partlow reported, and there
were sleeping pills found in the
room.
Law’s first wife Laura was
found dead in her Aberdeen home
in January, 1940. Her skull had
been crushed and she had been
stabbed a number of times with
an ice pick.
One of the. notes he left was
addressed to his second wife, Hel
en Law. It uiscussed an illness
which he said had become un
bearably painful
Valera Wins Showdown
Vote by Close Margin
DUBLIN, Ireland, UPi — Prime
Minister Eamon De Valera won a
showdown vote of confidence last
night in the Irish Republic’s Dail
(parliament) by a two-vote mar
gin.
The 70-year-ola statesman risked
his government—and possibly his
own long political career — after
his Fianna Fail Party suffered
setbacks in three recent special
elections to fill vacancies.
He won 73 to 71.
The two votes was the exact
measure of the- edge held by De
Valera’s coalition in the Dail.
Recent measurements have in
dicated that the universe outside
the earth’s own galaxy is twice
as old and eight times as big as
science formerly believed it to be.
Sabre Jets Bomb 30 to 40
Communist Tanks
In Surprise Attack
By MILO FARNETI
SEOUL, — U. S. Sabre jet
fighter-bombers surprised' ,30 to
40 Communist tanks in a camou
flaged valley just behind the west
ern front Tuesday and saturated
the area with 1,000-pound bombs.
Churning black smoke filled
the valley, making an accurate
count of wrecked tanks impos
sible, the Fifth Air Force said.
Not since early in the war has
a comparable concentration of
Red armor been spotted so near
the Korean front.
The Eighth Army, meanwhile,
reported that heavy fighting cost
the Reds 36,000 killed and wound
ed last month—the equivalent of
about three Red divisions.
The Communists answered with
the heaviest artillery and mortar
fire of the war. Almost 1 Vi million
rounds hit Allied lines during
June, virtually double the pre
vious monthly record, the Eighth
Army said.
Wolverine State Acquires
Cantankerous Critter
DETROIT, UO — Michigan, the
Wolverine State, has a native
born wolverine reportedly for the
first time in its 116-year history.
Just why the state got its nick
name has long been a mystery,
for its animal population does not
include wolverines.
At least, it didn’t until someone
captured a female wolverine in
Alaska last year and presented it
to Director Frank G. McGinnis of
Detroit Zoo.
Director Mclnnis announced the
birth and showed the new resi
dent to the public Wednesday.
(The Alaska legislature put a
bounty on wolverines this year
after Senate President Charles
Jones of Nome described them as
being just about the most can
tankerous animal in the territory.

Ike & Mamie Anniversary
WASHINGTON, UP) — Usually
when President Eisenhower re
turns from playing golf he goes
directly to his White House living
quarters, but yesterday he was
maneuvered into going back to
his office for a while.
The reason: A surprise buffet
party was in preparation by the
White House staff and nobody
wanted him barging in to spoil
the surprise.
The occasion: the 37th anniver
sary of his marriage to Mamie
