New England Gets
Drenching Rain
By United Piesi International
Thunderstorms which broke
a searing drought in the Mid
west moved across the Appa
lachians today, drenching dry
New England forests and eas
ing crop conditions along the
Atlantic Seaboard.
A steady rain fell in the
Northeast and scattered show
ers sprinkled the Southland
and Great Plains.
Up to a half-inch of rain
fell in the Middle and North
Atlantic states Sunday. More
than l'a inches fell at Mill
ville, N.J., in six hours Sun
day night. More than an inch
of rain hit Curtis, Neb., in
less than a half hour.
Cooler air pushed in over
the upper Midwest, where
temperatures dipped into the
50s during the night. Blythe,
Calif., which simmered in 116
degree heat Sunday, cooled
off during the night to 104.
Several storm -born torna
does were reported in the
West and South Sunday but
caused no serious damage.
Two funnel clouds were re
ported north of Yoder in
southeastern Wyoming while
a severe weather warning was
in effect. Imperial, Neb., also
in the danger area, was bat
tered by hailstones.

Political Ascent

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

heights here
in the nation's
capital. The
27 -year- old

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-

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

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.
