Thus It may be well to review tlie
benellta to civilians which result
from the establishment of a blood

mobile will be at the Armory Dec.
and at OTI Dec. 10.
During the first eight months of
1D53 an average of U pints of
blood per month were used In the
community for patients In the two

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. The Helena, a veteran of duels
with Red Korean shore batteries,
wss cutting through the water at
3 mile an hour toward tiny Wake
Island:, There It was expected to
pick up John Foster Dulles, Elsen
hower a choice for secretary ol
stale.
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. Hla plane
set down early Saturday morning

charge by the hospital to cover
the cost of Isbor by nurses: ol
laboratory tenia necessary for typ
ing and cross-matching of the pa
tient's blood so that the proper
type of blood may be chosen from
the bank for transfusion. This Is
standard practice In every commu
nity which bat a Red Cross blood
program.
Since the Infusion of blood is a
surgical procedure In which there
1 a cerUin element of risk, con
stant nursing csre and supervision
Is required while the patient Is re
ceiving blood.
It la Impossible to say whether
or not 76 lives each month were
aaved here In Klamath county be
cause 7a pints ol blood were given.
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.
A blood bsnk Is remarkably like
a monetary bank In thai deposits
must be made before there can
be withdrawals.

McKay Leaves
On Secret Trip
8ALEM uP Oregon's Gov.
Douglas McKay flew out of here
under secret order Friday night
and his secretary nta ne dKi not
know hi destination.
That Immediately raised specula
tion that he was flying to meet
President-elect Elsenhower, who
has named McKay to his cabinet
as secretary of the Interior. Since
administration of territories la un
der the secretary of the Interior,
It was thought possible he might
be heading for Wake, or Hawaii.
Mrs. McKay laid the could not
comment.
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.
McKay's change of plane came
to light when he did not board a
train for Phoenix aa expected Fri
day night.
Miss Phillips said that McKay
hsd received "classified" Instruc
tion to board a plan and did not
know where the plant wat to take
him....,-, . . ... -.-.., ..
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.
Christmas forever Is a time for
giving, m gin ot a pint of blood

Swiss Assault on Tough
Everest Now Called Off
ZURICH. Switzerland Iff) The
Swiss Mt. Everest expedition has
sbsndoned It attempt to climb
the world's highest peak, the Swiss
Alpine Research Foundation an
nounced Saturday.
A communique by the Founda
tion said extremes of wind and
temperature forced the Swiss
climbers and their Nepslese help
ers to turn bsck "In spite o( all
their great efforts to reach the
top."
"It la not yet known," the com
munique said, "what height waa
reached bv the climbers who tried
to reach the summit from Camp
Seven which had Deen estaoiiaoea
on the South Col (Pass)."
The communique said the expe
dition returned safe ana sound to
their bsse camp on the Khumbu
Olacier at the foot of Everest on
Nov. 22 on their way back to Kat
mandu, the Nenalese Capital. .
The expedition was the second
Swiss attempt to conquer the 2S.-OOO-foot
peak this year. The first
exnedillon wis forced bock only
a few hundred feel from the sum
reft' because their oxygen equip
ment proved inadequate.
The second expedition wag Ine
first attempt ever made to climb
Everest In the fall, after the mon

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.

reduced a three-story frame home
tn s Dile of rubble killed all six
children of a Pittsburgh family

Fire Chief Stephen Adley said
the blast in the semi-industrial

The victims:
David. 14. Richard, IS, Lois, 12,
James, 10, Geary, 6 and Robert !.
Moults, 37, and his 36-year-old
wife. Rose, were literally blown
from the house. They were in a
state of shock and nearly incoher
ent as they crawled from the
wreckage, their faces blackened
like coal miners.
"What happened? What hap
pened?" cried Moulis.
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.
The second floor of the home,
was occupied by Mrs. Moulis'
mother, Mrs. Lois Forjao, who
i was xetunung home from Vork
