An Air Fore' spokesman, in
disclosing the airman's identity,
said 7th Air Force Commander
Brie. Ccn. Julian Chappel is

If court martial is ordered,

The Honolulu Advertiser said
in a story Saturday the then

secret information about the
H bomb miss while on a fur

His disclosures resulted in the;
Air Force admitting that the j
bombardier was off the target ;

teen Youngsters who survived a
40-piun2e into a sulphurous
crevasse on Mt. 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.

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.

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

own house in order."

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.
