Hood were un der treatment today for injuries ranging from contusions to bro-; ken bones. One of the group of 19 in-j volved in the accident lost her life. She was Lynn Kaufman. ' 16, of Larchmont. N.Y. Her body was flown home Monday. Only , two escaped injury. ; Anions the most seriously hurt ! were Suzanne Blum. 16, Bald win, N.Y., who suffered a spine fracture, and Susan Stem. 16. ; Baltimore. Md., who suffered a fractured skull. Hospital atten- ' dants said their condition was serious but that they were not on the critical list. Mo.st of the other injured vouns.-ters suffered broken bones in tiie accident which took ; place at the 10,300-foot level of ; the 11,225-foot-tall mountain. The climbers included 18 '. members of the American Hostel Association, led by Carl Sihnoor, i a Portland Collece student. They ; were on a "train, bicycle and hiking trip," accordinq to one ; of the parents. Most of them j were from the eastern seaboard, j Some of the parents of the ; injured teen-agers said they j would have refused permission I for the expedition had they known about it. Others, however, ! said they knew about the climb ; and did not object. j It was not clear what caused ! the accident. Ralph Wiese. Na tional Forest aeent on Mt. Hood, said there will be no official investigation. He said the ser vice has no power to make any investigation. The 19 climbers were tied to a 120-foot rope and apparently some lost their footing, pulling the others 400 or 500 feet down the mountain ard into the 40-foot-deep crevasse. "There was a terrible smell of rotten eggs that gagged and choked us," one of the surviv ors said. Hot Sulphur Rocks Mountaineers said the crevasse was caused by hot sulphur rocks which melted the snow. The cre vasse is known as a bergschrund. Clackamas County Coroner Leslie Peake said Miss Kaufman Thornton Petition Against PGE Denied Salem U.R! The Oregon Supreme Court today denied without opinion a petition from the attorney general asking the court to force Portland General Electric company to stop con struction of Pelton dam on the Deschutes river. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton sought to have PGE's corporate charter forfeited and the company enjoined from con tinuing construction of the dam without first securing a permit from the state engineer or hyd roelectric commission. PGE is proceeding with con struction under a federal license. The company claimed that Thornton's "drastic" request would deny electric power to one-third of Oregon's residents. PGE also claimed that Thorn ton's suit should be filed in Jef ferson county Circuit Court ra ther than the Supreme Court. At the reqest of the attorney general, a Jefferson county grand jury investigated reports that PGE was building the dam but returned no indictments. Thornton also charged that the dam would result in less irriga- j tion water, but the company said ! there was just as much water j below the dam now as when j construction started. died e:'!;rr from the fall or from suffocation, or from bo'h. She was midway airing tiie rope. William N'r;on. a field rep resentative of the Youth Hostels of America, was scheduled to arrive hr-rc: today to make a fir.t hand investigation of the trag edy. The president of ihe American Youth HoMel. Miller Moore, said in New York the accident on the slopes of Mt.

Long After Economy Hoffman said that as ranking Republican member of the House Government Operations Committee he is entitled to the information. "They want to keep the stuff from coming out," Hoffman I said. Hoffman, a lor.g-time economy advocate, said "we should have economy in the legislative as well as the executive branch." Hoffman would become chair man of the investigating com mittee if ihe Republicans win control of the House next year. In that event, he said he would ee to it that Congress puts "it's own house in order." MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FITS rirain Holdinq Uo tan? B Delivery of Two London u. Britain is holding up delivery of at least two destroyers to Enypt in re taliation for the Miooastcrn na tion's seizure of the Suez Canal, it was reported today. Delay in delivery of the de stroyers was believed to be the first concrete result of Prime Minister Anthony Eden's order to halt arms shipments to Egypt. To Cover Arab World Longshoremen in Liverpool announcement Monday niaht they will extend the embargo to cover the entire Arab world. They are expected to refuse to load the Egyptian freighter Star of Luxor when it arrives Friday to pick up a cargo of arms des tined for Lebanon. The British Navy ceased load ing ammunition aboard the Egyptian destroyer Al Quahar in Portsmouth Navy Yard Mon day night, and despite official denials it app?ared the layoff was a ro-ult of Eden's order. Big Three leaders continued talks here and in Washington on measures to be taken to counter Nasser's grab for the canal. A Big Three meeting in Lon don today, following a special session of the British cabinet, is expected to produce formal pro posals for the appointment of an international authority to super vise operations at Suez. Russia in Game A high Iron Curtain source said Monday Russia would be willing to support an "interna tional solution ' for the dispute, Chrysler, Union Negotiate Issues Detroit UP' Union and company officials met today to negotiate two issues which idled more than 4.000 workers at two Chrysler Corp. DcSoto plants for nearly a week. Production at the two plants resumed Monday when the wor kers returned to their jobs on the company's promise to dis cuss the issues which deal with the firing of a United Auto Wor kers committeeman and the hir ing of outside workers to do model changeover work. The wildcat walkout began last Tuesday when the workers protested the firing of the com mitteeman who allegedly led a demonstration against the bring ing in of outside workers. provided it did not limit Egypt's sovereignty. It was not immed iately clear how such a solution could be worked out. France, and to a lesser degree Britain, are trying to persuade the United States to agree to use force to seize the canal if Nasser rejects internationaliza tion as he is likely to do. Australian Prime Minister Rob ert G. Menzies is expected to add his voice to those urging ac tion when he talks to President Eisenhower in Washington to day. The United States is reported reluctant to consent to the use of force against Egypt. It ap pears likely that, so long as Nas ser does not interefere with can al traffic, the worst that will be hurled at him is a volley of harsh words. Higher Milk Prices In Portland Unlikely Portland :U.Ri Milk distrib utors said here today a price hike for milk in the Portland market area this fall appears un likely, but they warn the pic ture could change rapidly. Will W. Henry, general man ager of the Dairy Cooperative association, said milk was sell ing in the Longview and Van couver. Wash., areas for as little as 68 cents a gallon and 17 cents a quart. With lower dealer prices in Washington. California and Idaho, an increase in Oregon was not likely, he said. A number of large producers, however, were planning to go out of production by Oct. 1. Henry said, and a prolonged dry spell could change the price sit uat ion. Use Tribune Want Ads HORSE DIES Cleveland. Ohio U p R.
