SECTION B PAGES 1 to 8 MedfordJTribune MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1963 Political Ascent Holds No interest For Everest Hikers BY A, ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correepondent Washington-After climbing the world's highest mountain the hard way, Luther Jerstad was a on blase about his easy, in s tan taneous ascent of the p o I i t i c a I heights here in the nation's capital. The 27 -year- old m o untaineer who teaches drama at the University of Oregon in the winter and mountain climbing at Mount Rainier in the summer, could not have been less affected by being given a hero's welcome at the White House by the president on Capitol Hill by senators and congressmen, at the Nepal embassy by the dip- Need vacation Inoney?

Watkim Kt inter Tribun Syndicate, US Iomatic set, and at the Nation al Press Club by the Washing ton correspondents. His colleagues of the Amer ican ML Everest Expedition were equally self-effacing-and sorry that their heroic compaimon from Corvalhs, Dr. William Unsoeld, could not share their days of glory in Washington, D.C. Unsoeld is deputy director of the Peace Corps project in Nepal and remained there under medical care due to badly frostbitten feet. Perhaps the problem for these first Americans to reach that Asian summit is that everything from here on out may seem like a downhill climb-unless they find some new and uniquely challeging peaks. A suggestion that they might try climbing the rocky political pinnacle didn't capti vate any of them. Jerstad said he simply wants lo teach and direct dra matic students at the college level. The drama of big time politics has no place in his reportorire. His kindest words about politics were: "It's very tiresome. But as a cooperative citizen, he didn't object to letting some active politicians sidle up to him with photographers to snap their pictures shaking hands with the intrepid con queror of Everest. First it was President Ken nedy in the rose garden of the White House, handing out the Hubbard Medal of the Na tional Geographic Society. Next morning it was the Ore- i gon congressional delegation playing host at breakfast- with a photographer in range. Then it was a Washington state congressman who repre sents Jerstad s parents-and who wanted the traditional pose with the gleaming Cap itol dome in the background. The first man ever to take motion pictures at the Everest summit was cordially tolerant of these political stills. When he seemed to tire of this posing, I brightly suggest ed we go climb the Washing ton Monument, our highest peak by the Potomac. Having mounted its 898 steps only the other day, I felt audacious ly capable of keeping up with a professional at this altitude but he politely scorned the thought of working up a sweat over a mere 555 feet. "The trouble with Lule is that he isn't a rock climber,' said one of his bearded bud dies, "If the Washington mon ument were covered with s sheet of ice he'd be ready to go." Jerstad Is a professinal guide with the Rainier Guide School, which operates the only snow ind ice climbing school in the united States. He has scaled everything worth mentioning in the Cascades, plus Alaska's ML McKiniey. What's so different about Everest? "It just goes on and on and on. declared Jerstad with sigh. "This pushes endurance to its limit. It makes a lot of men out of a lot of boys." Like Unsoeld and Barry Bishop, with whom he reach ed the summit, Jerstad suffer ed frostbitten toes, but unlike these less fortunate compan ions, he won't lose his toes. He said nobodv is certain what factors made the differ ence. He and Bishop wore dif ferent kinds of boots. Bishop smokes cigarettes and Jerstad a pipe, their rates of circula tion probably differed, he suggested. But Jerstad has a lingering reminded of his triumph. Be cause of frostbite his feet ache when they get cold. And since he won't give up climbing. Lute Jerstad is looking around lor pair of electric aock, Pelican, Like Some Men, Felt He Wat Owed Living Mother-like, she refused to admit it. But secretly she must have realized one of her sons was lazy, shiftless and unworthy. She would have been justified in bemg ashamed of him. Rightfully, she had every reason to be proud ot me other one. Of her two sons, he was ambitious, hard working and gave every indication of becoming a well adjusted, succesful adult. No two brothers could pos sibly be as unlike as these two young pelicans, yet they were both hatched in the same nest by the same moth er. Both parents had lavished all their attentions on these two. They had taught them all they were supposed to know. Equal Chance Both youngsters had had an equal chance to make their living m the way of their kind, but one had succeeded and the other muffed his chance. And the most em barrassing part of the whole business was that the idler didn't seem to care. Instead of searching for fish like a pelican should, he lolled around the piers and bridges where human fishermen were casting their lines, hoping that a bait - fish would be thrown from a hook. He cultivated the attentions of tourists and frequented places where fishermen, dis gusted with their luck, dump ed their bait - fish. This he would gobble down, and then just sit tight and wait for the next windfall. To him, dead fish seemed just as pa latable as live fish and they were so much easier to come by. Easy To Sponge So he whiled away the summer days comfortably seated on a piling, while his brother knocked himself out diving from considerable heights for what fish he could catch. He would rather be hungry than work; rather starve than exert himself. It was easier to sponge for a living. So he spent his time sitting on a piling while his mother. ashamed of him, sailed away on stiffened wings so no nosy pelican could tell her what mistakes she made in raising such a good-for-nothing son When he wasn't begging fish from some goodhearted fisherman, he spent a great deal of time on a screen that covered a partly submerged boat, A bait-dealer had sunk an old boat, by drilling numer ous holes m its bottom, sink ing it to the gunwales. The man must have known what might happen, for he had cov ered the entire boat with screen before he placed sev eral hundred small bait fish in it. Discovered Bait Trap The lazy little pelican had discovered this sunken bait trap; had cast his black, beady little eye through the screen and saw there the many small fish. They were very active little fish - so very near - yet unattainable. Here was pelican food - fish in unlimit ed and concentrated numbers. The lazy one couldn't un derstand why they were so impossible to get. He hpd plenty of lime and there he spent it, week after week, while his more aggressive brother knocked himself out diving for what he got. But the worker was eating well. He even flew to distant place where fishing was more pro ductive, while the lazy broth- sazed helplessly at fish within inches of his bill, but still unattainable. It's an individual choice we make, whether we are man or pelican; whether we eat well, or work for what we get. This laiy little pelican couldn t understand that the world does not owe anyone a living. This Is equally true for man, mouse or pelican. The good life. In most cases. comes to those who work for It.
