Graham and Party
Conquor 20,320-Ft.
Mount McKinley
ANCHORAGE UP) — Sixty-five
year old John D. Graham, Santa
Barbara, Calif., real estate broker,
was flown from the 10,000-foot
level of Mt. McKinley Saturday
after his party of four conquered
the 20,320-foot peak but had been
pinned down by snowstorms for
a week.
Talkeetna pilot Don Sheldon
landed his light plane on Kahiltna
Glacier to airlift Graham to Tal
keetna. Sheldon immediately took
off to pick up the other members
of the climbing party on the gla
cier.
Quipping “its quite a moun
tain,” Graham, a veteran climb
er, said the whole party suffered
frostbite as they reachcl the sum
mit. All Graham’s fingers were
badly frostbitten and are still
sore.
Since he did not have his note
book unpacked, Graham was un
able to state the day the party
made the summit.
Graham, who has climbed all
peaks over 14,000 feet in the
lower 48 and over much of the
world, said “McKinley is different
from other mountains in the
world. Climbers have to carry
their own loads and are cut off
by the peak’s remoteness.”
The party’s portable radio
worked only once during the
climb and six of the cameras
froze in the sub-zero cold, Gra
ham said.
Fortunately, the party had
cached a supply of food at the
10,000-foot level or we would
have been out of food during the
storm,” Graham said.
The group passed another climb

Khrushchev Says
USSR No Longer Gives
Priority to Heavy Industry
MOSCOW (tf)—Premier Khrush
chev said Saturday the Soviet
Union will no longer give priority
to heavy industry but will de
velop both heavy industry and
consumer goods production at the
same rate.
The Premier, wearing a dark
suit and all his medals, had strol
led across the garden of his resi
dence next door to a government
guest house where a party was
being given for exhibitors at the
British Fair which opened here
Friday.
Khrushchev commented that
some British businessmen had
asked him about light industry
in the Soviet Union and that he
told them the Russians had had
to develop heavy industry first
in order to create a proper base
for the country’s economy.
“Now we have created that
base,” he said, “we consider otir
heavy industry as built. So we
are not going to give it priority.
Light industry and heavy industry
will develop at the same pace.”
W’hen Khrushchev', on Nov. 14,
1958, outlined the seven-year plan
j for 1959-1965, he said:
“The chief task of the seven
1 year plan for the development of
the national economy of the
USSR in 1959-65 is a further
mighty upsurge of all branches of
the economy on the basis of the
priority expansion of heavy in
dustry.
ner Himmelsbach of Vancouver,
B. C., at 12,000 feet before the
storm a week ago, Graham said.
The Graham’s party attack on
North Africa’s highest peak start
j ed April 29, when Sheldon flew
Graham to a base camp at 6,500
feet. Graham was alone for five
days due to bad flying weather
and his food was running low
! when the others joined him.
“As we approached the summit,
a cold blast of air hit us,” Gra
ham recounted. “ ... 40 below
with a very high wind.” It was
then the party all were frost
bitten.
The next day the party nego
tiated the descent. Graham said
j he was blown off his feet four
i times by high winds.
The four men then descended
to Kahiltna Glacier where they
waited out the storms.

Bulldozers to Go to Castro
WASHINGTON — A citizens’
drive was launched Saturday to
raise privately the money to pay
for the 500 bulldozers Prime Min
ister Fidel Castro wants a ran
; som for 1,200 Cuban invaders he
holds prisoner.
One of those who announced
he would help. Sen. George A.
Smathers, fD-Fla.), said the U. S.
government should not pay for
the bulldozers, as Castro suggest
ed.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Mil
1 ton S. Eisenhower and Walter P.
1 Reuther sent a cable to Castro
j saying they would raise the funds
by setting up a National Commit
i tee for that purpose.
The announcement was made
by the United Auto Workers
Union in Detroit. Eisenhower,
brother of the former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, is )resi
dent of Johns Hopkins University.
Reuther is president of the UAW.
Officially, the United States has

i But officials have indicated it
! might be accepted if such a swap
could actually save prisoners who
otherwise might not be saved.
Reuther said, “if we get an af
firmative response from Castro
as we sincerely hope we will,
Mrs. Roosevelt, Dr. Eisenhower
and I will take immediate steps
to establish a national committee
to raise the necessary funds and
work out arrangements for re
ceiving contributions.”

j Presbyterians Open Talks
For Unification Of
Protestant Churches
BUFFALO, N. Y. W>> — The
United Presbyterian Church de
cided today to open talks for uni
fication with the Episcopal
Church, the Methodist and the
United Church of Christ.
The historic action was ap
proved with a booming voice vote
at the Presbyterian’s 173rd Gen
eral Assembly.
Outcome of the issue had been
of keen concern throughout Am
erican Protestantism, and also
among Roman Catholic leaders.
On the eve of the test, a mass
ecumenical interdenominational
meeting heard an appeal from the
Rev. Dr. Robert J. McCracken, of
New York City’s Riverside
Church, for Christian re-union.
“Our unity in essentials is such
i hat we should no longer tolerate
t purely factious divisions,” he said.
Noting that there are 226 sep
arate Protestant religious bodies
in this country, he said Christian
ity can hardly be expected to
“heal the divisions of the world
when the church itself is so lam
entably divided.”
The historic proposal for
church reunion was made last De
cember by the Rev. Dr. Eugene
Carson Blake, of Philadelphia, the
Presbyterians’ top administrative
officer.
Other demoninations, besides
the four mentioned, also would be
invited to join the negotiations,
estimated to take at least 10
years.
Approval by the 3!4-million
member denomination at the cur
rent assembly would leave the
next move up to the Episcopal
Church, whose legislative con
vention meets next fall.
