(International) Record Number of Climbers Iti Himalayas Hope To See An abominable Snowman1 London (U.R) A record num N ber of 500 climbers . will be prowling the peaks and glaciers of the Himalayas this season and Eric Shipton hopes at least one of the expeditions finds the "abominable snowman." It was 66 years ago this month that the trail of the Asiatic what is-it-was first spotted by a Brit ish hunter in Northeast Sikkim. Worried because his frighten ed porters babbled that they had come across the dreaded "Metok hangmi," Col. L. O. Waddell as sured them they had seen only the tracks of a yellow bear. Waddell finally persuaded even himself, although he knew yellow bears rarely go above snow line, but later explorers and - Mt. Everest climbers are sure; he was wrong. However, only a few are as forthright as Shipton, diplomat and famous Himalayan climber, who is con vinced that on the roof of the world dwells a strange man-like animal. "What else can you believe wheri you have seen his actual tracks and trailed them for at least jtwo miles?" said Shipton. "In the 1951 reconnaissance that paved the way for the suc cessful Mt. Everest climb in 1953 we measured' and photographed the tracks. We lost the trail of the Yeti, as our sherpas called it, on a glacier." , Another reason Shipton be: lieves ,in the existence of the abominable snowman is that Tensing, the trustworthy Sherpa who climbed Everest with Sir Edmond Hilary, saw it himself at Thyangboche monastery be low the great peak. He described it to Shipton as about 5 feet 6 inches tall, stand ing somewhat, stooped. It was covered with reddish brown hair except the face, which was bare and red. The footprints discovered by Shipton were 12 inches across. Nail scatches at crevasses show ed where the beast had leaped them. Shipton says there is no question they were not the tracks of Langur monkeys or bounding wolves as skeptics have suggested. Nor is the abominable snow man, as other skeptics declare, a beast seen only by Sherpas. In the files of the Royal Geographi cal Society there is a notation from a surveyor. While mapping a Himalayan area, he saw what appeared to be a fur-covered man ambling across a snowfield a quarter of a mile away. He dis appeared into some brush. Sir John Hunt's successful Everest expedition of 1953 was told by the monks of Thyang boche that they had had to frighten some Yetis away by blowing conch shells when the animals invaded the monastery precincts. One of the expeditions this year is a Swiss-Austrian assault on Lhotse peak. Its member will attempt specifically to bring back a "snowman" alive. Holdup Man Telephones Police, Gives Self Up Chicago (U.R) Howard Kibble, 31, a holdup man, tele phoned the Detective Bureau when he saw two heavily- armed police cars parked behind his auto. "This is Howard," he said. "Are you looking for me?" Should we be looking for you?" a detective asked. "Have you pulled any stickups, How ard?" Howard said he had, but "only a few cheap ones. I didn't shoot anybody." He was locked up. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday : 10 a m Monday for Mondav other days 5:30 Dreviousdav who can help Your hearing? C. R.
