There are "no pana ceas, no trick ways." he said, ol ending a wsr thai has drawn In 17 nations on tlie Allied side and little North Korea and big Com munist China on the other with Sov iet Russia supplying the sinews of the Red armies. STUDY The leader clitht years ago In Europe of the mightiest army the world ha known planned to mull over the Information he gulhcred on hla Korean mission. He aald he would devote much lime during the slx-dsy cruise to Hswsll to studying this first great problem ot bis upcoming admin istration.

An Intensive review of the whole Far Eastern problem seemed in the work. STORM But In the cruiser's path a tropi cal storm ol near-typhoon Intensity raged. Rough seaa and some sea sickness weie In prospect. The big cruiser, however, was expected to ride through the storm without difficulty. Eisenhower made It clear, In a news conference on Friday before leaving Korea that the task con froniuig the United Nations In the Korean threat to world peace 1 enormous. He said: "How difficult it terms to be In a war of mis kind. u work out a plan that would bring a positive and definite victory without possib ly running gray risk of enlarging the war.'' But Elsenhower Is confident of ultimate victory. "I am far from defeatist," be recalled. BRIEF CHAT Eisenhower flew the 3.179 miles from Korea to Guam.

However, If tven one life was saved It seems to the writer that the blood program mskes this town and It surrounding area a better and a safer place In which to live. In order to have (he advantage of a blood bonk locally, visits ot the bloodmobile must be supported.

The governor' secretary. Miss Alene Phillips, aald that 1st Friday McKay notified Gov. Howard Pyle of Ariaona that he would not be able to attend the Conference of Western Oovernor opening at Phoenix Monday.

There were three military plane on McNsry airfield here Friday. Friends and relative of those tn this community who hsve received blood msy well take the December visit of the mobile unit aa an op portunity to Insure the continuance ol the local blood program. They. above all, know the value of the Red Cross blood bank. This Is the first time that a quar terly visit of the bloodmobile has been scheduled. The last visit to Klamath was tn September. Here lofore 317 pints of blood each month were necessary to guarantee that the Klamath blood bank might remain in existence. Now a net quota of MO pints as a minimum for three months has been set. This will fulfill military commit ments ana supply the weal blood bank for three months. The military put the same prior ity rating on blood as on bullets for transport to the battlefield. Cer tainly there Is a moral obturation to our fellows here at home which should place them next In line.

The expedition was the second Swiss attempt to conquer the 2S.-OOO-foot peak this year.

Reliable report reaching New Delhi, India, aald the climbers had been forced back by buffeting winds and 30-degree-below xero cold. The reDOrts said the Swiss climb ers abandoned their attempt Nov. 20. No one has ever reached the peak of Mt. Everest, more than 20,000 feet high, and returned to tell about It. Nepalese sources here said the expedition, led by Dr. Gabriel Chevalley. had descended to Namche Bazar Village at the base of Mt. Everest and waa resting before beginning the hazardous two week overland journey loo miles to Katmandu. The outcome of the final assault on the Himalayan peak's highest slopes hsd been a mystery since the middle of last month, when a native runner brought back a re port that several of the Swiss had reached a point loo leet irora ine aummit. Informants today said Chevalley is believed already to have report ed to the Swlsa Alpine Foundation tn Zurich that three climbers Ray- Hnond- Lambert, Ernest TUiss and Sherpa Tensing and seven Nepal ese porter established their eighth and last camp Nov. IS. They planned to make the top the next day but extreme cold and contin ual winds forced them to abandon their efforts. The venture was the loth at tempt to climb Mt. Everest, ac cording to records of India's Hi malayan Club the most complete collection of information on Asia' high mountains. since records were begun In 1921, eight British and two Swiss team of hardened mountaineers have vainly tried to conquer the lowering peai. Two members of a British 1024 team disappeared into the swirl ing mists hiding the topmost peak of the mountain and never re turned. All previous expeditions have blamed their defeats on the ex treme altitude, the bitter cold and the peak's fierce winds that hurl stones about like baseballs. Climbers Including Lambert himself say the terrain of the mountain is not half as tough as some of the Swiss Alps but the awful lonely heights rob men of tne wm to go on. "When you get that high, vou Just don't care,'" said one Swiss climber. "It' almost beyond nu man endurance. You Just want to sib aown. KF Dentist Convicted Dr. Miller E. Cooner.

He was taken to a hospital shortly after the blast but his wife refused to leave the scene until the last bodies of her children were brought out. Then she was treated by a physician.

A gas main running through the wall to the house apparently , was ruptured, Maloney declared, Llput, returning home for the week end from his studies at Ohio State University, said he went Into the house and used the telephone to notify relatives of his mishap. Then he waited outside in his damaged car for the relatives to come for him. SHOWER A few minutes later the explo sion showered debris over the auto. Dazed, but apparently unhurt, Liput left the scene, Maloney said. Later the atudent returned and Maloney placed a technical man slaughter charge against him and held him for the coroner. 4-; x r -of : Tav D f riV" v.vaV . . . t-f4 NEW THUNDERSTREAK.
