twisted trees'. Damage will run into the millions of dollars. It will exceed by far the his
toric disaster of 1928 that took upwards of 2,000 lives. (AP Wirephoto)

Climb Ararat
To Find Ark
Dogu Bayazit, Turkey, Aug.
29 (P) Five Americans are toil
ing up three-mile-high Mount
Ararat today to see if Noah s
ark lies on the summit.
They left this isolated village
yesterday morning and no word
is expected from the group mak
ing the perilous ascent until to
morrow at the earliest.
The Russians have protested
strenuously that the search for
the ark is merely a blind for a
spying expedition Mt. Ararat
is on the Turko-Russian border.
The searcers, whom the Rus
sians called spies, include Dr.
Aaron J, Smith, 61, Greens
boro, N. C; Walter Wood, 36,
Sea Cliff, Long Island, N. Y.;
Wendell Ogg, 24, of Knoxville,
Term.; E. J. Newton, 46, Colfax,
N. C.j and Associated Press cor
respondent Edwin Greenwald.
Five Turks are accompany
ing them.
Interest in the area has inten
sified since last year, when
peasants reported they had seen
an object resembling a boat. The
object had been uncovered by an
usually heavy thaw.
As long ago as 1916, a Rus
sian aviator said he saw on Ar
arat a ship that seemed identical
to the Biblical description of
Noah's ark.
