Climbers Trapped
On French Mountain

hind swirling sheets of snow cut
off rescue today for two half
frozen mountain climbers and
eight men who went to aid them

don, 24. of France, and Fran
cois Henry. 23, of Belgium, who
have been fighting for survival
on the 12.000-foot level of the
mountain for 12 days.
Both were suffering from sev
ere frostbite. Their would - be
rescuers had to abandon them
Tuesday night in the cabin of a
wrecked helicopter because 75
mile an hour winds made it im
possible to remove them to a
shelter further up the mountain.
Vincedon and Henry were
trapped 12 days ago by a heavy
storm as they attempted to climb
Western Europe's highest moun
tain against the advice of Cham
onix' professional guides.
The temperature was report
ed 31 below zero and the moun
tain was sheathed In a churning,
milk-white storm cloud which
sent fine snow shooting out from
the mountain side like tracer bul

catch of 22.500.000 pounds was
landed in the state.

I
Governor
nounced that the innimhpnr.
who had been "defeated" in
the Nov. 6 election, would re
main in office.
Thus Gov. Dennis J. Roberts
was sworn in to an unprecedent
ed fourth-term as chief execu
tive at 5:30 p.m. as the result of
the state Supreme Court's in
validation of absentee- ballots
that had given Republican candi
date Christopher Del Sesto a
427-vote maioritv.
Rhode Island's highest court
ruled that written votes cast by
some absentee voters and shut-
ins who were unable to go to the
polls were invalid because they
were postmarked before Nov. 6.
In doing so. the Supreme
Court ruled unconstitutional a
constitutional amendment adopt
ed by the legislature in 1953
giving absentee voters permis
sion to cast notarized ballots "on
or before" Election Day.
Roberts had enjoyed a 721
vote pluarlity until the absentee
ballots were counted.
Del Sesto said he would not
challenge the court's ruling and
his campaign manager called
mm a good loser."
Newsprint Cost Raised
By Toronto Firm
Toronto (u.R) The Abit
ibi Power and Paper Company
Limited announced today a S4
per ton increase in the price of
newsprint, --effective March 1.
A company spokesman said
the increase was due to increas
ed costs in the industry, partic
ularly higher freight costs.
He said the increase came
"only after a long and careful
consideration" and that the in
crease would only partially off
set the higher costs.
The action will bring the basic
New York price of Abitibi's
newsprint to around S134 a ton.
There was no immediate in
formation available as to wheth
er other companies would fol
low suit. But in Montreal, Presi
dent George M. Hobart, of Con
solidted Paper Co., Ltd., one
of the larget producers of news
print, would not deny that a
price increase was under consid
eration.
