Revision Ups Mt. 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

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

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.

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.

Effects of Atomic Energy
On Fruit Being
Geneva, N. Y. (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. Pomologists at the sta
tion hope exposure will cause
