Leaders of the first U.S. at
lemnt In climb Mt. Everest
are hopeful that the Sino-In-rlian
border conflict will not
Moo next year's exnedition.
A croun of 19 Americans,
a British transDort officer and
a Neoalese liaison officer un
der the leadership of a Cali
fornia film producer plan to
launch the assault on the
"nrld's highest mountain next
Mav 1.
"The Indian ambassador to
the United States has assured
us that unless the Sinn-Indian
f'chtine gets very much worse j
it won t conflict with our ex
nedition," the leader. Swiss
horn Norman Dvhrenfurth of
Santa Monica, Calif., said.
"And our own state depart-
ment so far sees no reason to
think the fighting will affect
our plans."
Assemble In Katmandu
The expedition will assem
ble in Katmandu. Nepal, teb.
14 and will begin the 175-mile
bike to the Everest base camp.
Some IS tons of equipment
will be borne on the backs of
500 native porters. The expe
dition also will have 36 high
level native Sherpa porters.
Deputy leader William Sirl,
a University of California at
Berkeley physicist, said suc
cessive camps will be estab
lished at levels of 17,800 feet,
21.500 feet and just under
2(1.000 feet.
A final assault party will
leave the last camp (south col)
and climb to 27,000 feet where
It will spent the night. The
next day it v jl try for the
29.121-foot summit.
"We're confident, but not
overly confident because
weather conditions can defeat
the strongest teams," Dyhren
furth said. "Near the summit
are winds up to 90 miles an
hour and temperatures can
drop 40 degrees below zero."
Third to Conquer
If successful, the Americans
would be the third expedition
known to conquer Everest. E'r
Edmund Hillary and Tenziny
Norgay of Sir John Hunt's
British team were the first in
1953, followed in 1956 by a
Swiss group.
Red China claimed that one
of its expeditions reached the
top in 1960, leaving behind a
plaster bust of Fed leader Mao
Tse-tung. Siri said other
mountaineers doubted the
claim because an Indian team
that was on the mountain at
the same time was forced to
turn back because of a violent
Rtorm.
Siri said it was impossible
to determine now who among
the 19 Americans will stand
atop Mt. Everest if the expe
dition succeeds.
"We hope to get at least two
to the top," he said, "but who
they are will depend on their
physical condition and the
weather,
Soviet Couple Has
101st Anniversary
Moscow -IUPII- Mr. and Mrs.
Shakhbadov of Azerbaijan
have entered their second
century of wedded bliss, Mos
cow Radio said Saturday.
The Soviet couple celebrat
ed their 101st wedding anni
versary recently, according to
the broadcast. Both are 117
years old, and they married
when they were 16.
The Shakhbadovs have 11
children and nearly 100 I
grandchildren and great
grandchildren, the report said
"If they are held too long
on the south col by bad
weather, some nuy'it be weak
ened by lack of 'xyi;en, ex
posure, dehydratirn and loss
of sleep."
Likely Candidate
A likely candidate for the
final assault, Siri said, is Lu
ther G. Jerstad, University of
Oregon speech instructor. A
veteran climber at 26, Jerstad
was invited to join the expedi
tion last July when a senior
Mt. Rainier guide withdrew,
leaving a vacancy.
The ohvinus danger doesn't
bother the blond, blue-eyed
teacher. "I'd rather climb Ev
erest than drive the Los An
geles freeway,'' he said.
Brains are a prerequisite for
being a member of the assault
team. Five members have PH.

If the team Miccords in

permits, it will make assaults
on nearby Lhotse (27,890 feet)
and Nuptse (25-850 feel).
"We'll have to he lucky to
do that," Dyhrenfurth said.
"But we're certainly going
well prepared. This is the
strongest American team ever
to set forth in the Himalayas.
