Lane won re nomination in the Massachusetts primary in a bid to become the first congressman in history to retain his seat after serving a prison term, returns showed to day. Foster Furcolo won the Democratic nomination for gov ernor. Lane beat four opponents Tuesday in the 7th Congresional District where Democratic nom ination is tantamount to elec tion. Furcolo, former congressman and one-time state treasurer, de feated former state Auditor Thomas H. Buckley of Abington by nearly 3 to 1. Furcolo. of Longmeadow, had been en dorsed by the Democratic pre- primary convention last June. 'Betty has them buzzing! 'X Beats mm hoie ghm doe it!

McKinley Altitude 20 to 63 Feet Washington Mount McKin ley. North America's tallest peak, stands higher in the Alaskan sky than atlases have shown it to date, according to reports. A new official altitude for the topmost point on the continent 20.320 feet has just been adopt ed by the United States Geologi cal Survey and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The figure is 20 to 63 feet above previously accepted altitudes. Already appearing on a new National Geographic map of Alaska, the revised .figure will be used on all future government maps. The new altitude is based upon more than ten years of surveys of the giant mountain in south central Alaska. Much basic data came from expeditions of the National Geographic Society led by Dr. Bradford Washburn, mountaineer-director of the Bos ton Museum of Science. Mount McKinley, known to Alaskan Indians as Denali, "Home of the Sun," is probably the tallest mountain in the world from its base. It rises 17.000 feet above timberline from a plateau only 2.500 to 3.000 feet high. Ribbed with glaciers, it spears upward amid a jumble of peaks, solid granite beneath an overlying layer of black slate. William A. Dickey, a Prince ton University graduate pros pecting along the Chulitna River north of Anchorage in 1896, first sighted the peak by transit. He named it for the Republican nominee for President. Dickey's survey showed a height of better than 20.000 feet. The New York Sun broke the news that a new highest moun tain in North America had been found. In 1898 and again in 1902, of ficial, measurements of Mount McKinley were made by Geolog ical Survey engineers. The fig ure of 20,300 feet was adopted and used by the Survey for half a century. During that time, however, other values were used by the government as well, rang ing down to 20,257 feet. Double Summit Several early attempts to climb McKinley failed but le vealed that there are two sum mits of nearly the same height. The higher is the South Peak. Two miles away the North Peak, much sharper in outline, reaches to 19.470 feet. eral income tax evasion. No congressman ever has been : elected after leaving prison. Lane s apparent election op ponent will be Robert T. Breed of Lynn who was leading a three-man GOP race. Returns from 112 of 126 pre cincts in the 7th District gave: Democrats: Lane, 24,320; state Sen. Andrew P. Quigley of Chel sea, 11,664; state Rep. Joseph T. Conley of Lawrence, 7,140; state Rep. Pasquale Caggiano of Lynn, 6.667; and Lynn school teacher James D. Leary, 1,270. First climbed successfully In 1913 by a parly led by Arch deacon Hudson Stuck, the sum mit has been reached nearly a dozen times since then. Scien tists have recognized Mount Mc Kinley as an ideal laboratory for high-altitude research. During World War II three military teams used its high slopes for cold-climate studies. Dr. Washburn, who has scaled McKinley's upper peak from both sides, has returned again and again for mapping work, weather observations, and inves tigation of the geology of the tremendous upcropping of rock. From his and other studies, a detailed large-scale map of the mountain and its surrounding area is in the last stages of pre paration, one of the most accur ate maps ever made at such a wilderness region. The new figure for Mount Mc Kinley's height is considered as nearly correct as modern sur veying science- can make it. Should Alaska be admitted to the Union, the roof of the United States will then stand not at Mount Whitney's 14.495 - foot level, but 20,320 feet above the sea. Bob Burns' Daughter Free on Gun Charge Hollywood (U.R) The' 18-year-old daughter of late hill billy comedian Bob Burns, ar rested for carrying a gun in her purse, was free today on a writ of habeas corpus. A waitress said she grabbed the gun when Barbara Burns al legedly reached into her purse for it while sitting in a restau rant Tuesday. Miss Burns was reported with actor Don Covert, 31, at the time. Police held her on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after Covert signed the com plaint. The tall Miss Bums was released on the writ after sever al hours of questioning. SENTENCED TO CHURCH Ionia. Mich. (U.PJ Roger Link, 17, pleaded guilty Tues day to bombarding a minister and his church group with to matoes and peaches. He was sen tenced to attend the minister s Sunday services for the next 90 days. Air Force Grounds B52 Jet Bombers For Second Time Washington U.R) The Air Force today grounded all its B52 heavy jet bombers for the second time this year. The grounding was ordered as a reult of the accident near Castle Air Force Base, Calif Monday in which five members of a seven-man crew were killed. 'Precautionary Measure' The Air Force said the ground ing is a "precautionary meas ure." In an emergency the B52s would be ready to fly, the Air Force added. The Air Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton. Ohio, ordered the grounding "pending results of the the investigation into the B52 accident on Monday," the Air Force said. "AH B52s, however, are being flight readied daily and crews are standing by," the Air Force said. "In any need or emergency the B52s will fly." The long range B52s are de signed to provide immediate atomic retaliation in the event of an attack on this country. Grounded in February The B52 was grounded last Feb. 18 after an accident to one of the bombers which also was operating out of Castle Air Base. The cause of that accident was traced to a faulty altenator- generator. The Air Force or dered modification of all B52s which had a similar part. There has been no hint regard ing the cause of Monday s acci dent. But the Air Force hopes two survivors will be able to shed light on the mishap. , The number of B52s that have been byilt is a secret. But it is believed to be at least 100. Chinese Communist Bureaucracy Kit Tokyo U.R) A high Commu nist official accused Chinese Communist bureaucracy today of snobbishnes, laziness, vacilla tion, conceit and self-complacency, radio Peiping reported. The report was made by Teng Hsai-ping, chief secretary of the central committee and secretary general of the eighth Chinese Communist Party Congress now in session in Peiping. Teng minced no words in his report on needed revisions of the party constitution and his charges leveled against some "responsible" and "leading' of cials of the Red regime. Teng gave no details of his proposed changes but devoted most of his speech to the Com munist policy of "mass line." Under this policy the Commu nist leaders are supposed to get their basic ideas from the peo ple formulate policy based on those ideas and then take the policy back to the masses.

Dead Jine Sunday Classified if at noon Saturday, 10 a m Monday for Monday, other days 5:30 previous day Lincoln Residents j Ask Road Reopening Newport, Ore. (U.R) Lincoln county residents this week flood ed the office of Gov. Elmo Smith with more than 4000 pieces of mail demanding the reopening of the old scenic highway route over Otter Crest on the Oregon coast. The route was replaced a year ago by a $3-million bypass route that eliminated several miles of tortuous curves. The 'highway department had maintained that the old route was dangerous but local residents pointed out that it never had a fatal accident in its years of use. The new route has had three fatalities in a year. Right of way for the old high way was given the state by Lin coln county without cost. Resi dents told the governor the route had high scenic and tourist values. Adults Increasing In Model Building Chicago U.R Adults are taking to building model air planes, automobiles and boats in increasing numbers, a study shows. A survey by Monogram Mod els, Inc., shows that adults are moving into a hobby area gen erally regarded as the domain of youngsters. The study showed that busi nessmen particularly have taken up model building because it is a hobby which requires a degree of manual skill and mental con centration to hold the interest of an active mind. Jack Besser, Monogram presi dent said building a model air plane or boat "leaves a man with a sense of satisfaction. He has created something tangible an object which he can show off as evidence of his skill.

(U.PJ Atr omic energy in the orchard! Scientists at the Brookhaven National laboratories on Long Island and at the New York State Agricultural Experiment station here are making a joint study to determine the effects of atomic energy on fruits. Apples and grapes have been treated with x-rays and bom barded with particles made av ailable by nuclear research at Brookhaven. And, while most of the effects have been harmful. the scientists hope that when fruiting stage is reached, the rad iation will bring about certain changes that may prove of prac tical value in fruit-bearing pro grams. Under the present program ap ple and grape seeds, dormant scion wood of apples and dor mant rooted grape cuttings all exposed to radiation are grown under gamma rays at Brookhaven, then sent here for observation. So far, the researchers have found that, for example, buds of apples grown in a gamma field have died, growth has been stunt: ed and abnormal types of leaves have developed. Buds of Concord grapes grow ing near the radiation source break later in spring and may produce shoot with leathery, misshapen leaves and no grow ing tip. In the first seasons, ir- ridated grape cuttings and apple scions have shown suppressed growth and distorted leaf and stem patterns, but there usually disappear in the second season growth. The important thing, however, is the small changes in hered itary make-up of plants by ra diation.

Episcopal Minister Wins Legal Battle New York vUPJ The Rev. William Howard Melish won a legal battle Tuesday to retain his post as supply priest of a Brooklyn church despite at tempts to oust him because of alleged pro-leftist views. State Supreme Court Referee John MacCrate ruled that Mel ish, recipient of a Communist "international peace prize," could not be dismissed from his post at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity be cause there was no "statutory quorum" of vestrymen to vote on the issue. The controversy has been rag ing publicly since last January when Melish defied vestrymen and preached a sermon behind locked doors. fv3 HaPPy Hotpoint Says: HOTPOINT In the past SI yari jEp&SL'J as manufactured ovstr 2,000,000 Electric Water Heaters. fjjjPT "Hotpoint Mikn ONLY HattoM CITY APPLIANCE 127 No. Central Ave. Phon 3-5306 17" Girl Doll Latex body with vTnyfite head.
