EVERETT (UPI)-A 25-man rescue party, working in relays, Saturday recovered the bodies of a Seattle man and his 12-year-old son from the slopes of Mt. Index where they died ear--ly Friday morning of cold and exposure. Foggy conditions prevented the use of a helicopter in re covering the bodies of Horace Gales. 41, and his son, Frank. Sheriff's officers said it was "a long, slow process" in get ting the bodies down the moun tain. Two other sons who survived the ordeal on the frozen moun tain with their father and broth er were recuperating at their Seattle home. The two survivors, William, 16, and Louis, 13, were returned to their home Friday afternoon. The bodies of Gates and Frank were "found earlier in the day about 50 yards from where Louis had lain through the night huddled next to a fire. Lcuis was taken down the mountain, about 40 miles east of here, by a helicopter from Paine Air Force Base. William walked out, for the second time. The older boy made the same hike early Fri day after his father and broth ers became too tired to make it to safety. William then led a 31-man search party to the area in time to save Louis' life. The hiking expedition began Thursday morning, when Gates, an experienced mountain climb er and his three sons drove to Ml. Index from Seattle. They missed a trail while scaling the peak and night closed in on (hem on an icy slope at the 3.000-foot level of the 5.309-foot mountain. "Louis and I were about 50 yards ahead of my dad and Frankie when F r a n k i e col lapsed." -William said. "Louis and I built a fire. It was about 11 o'clock. We went back to try lo get dad and Frankie to the fire, but they couldn't make it. I That's w hen I left to come down the mountain to get help." Searchers found Gates and Frankie lying face up. The 1 father had his arms around the son. i . . iV' . - - - : ? t kl t V. ' -v TV, J ' t ' , V' 7.'.. -.41--?

West Berlin To Negotiate On Keeping Wall Door Open iBERLI lUPli - West Ber lin today accepted informal Communis! proposals to nego tiate a new agreement for West Rcrlincrs lo pass through the Communist wall in (he future to visit East Berlin. West Berlin Deputy '.Mayor Heinrich Albert?, said the city government is ready to meet with tile East Germans in an effort to reach a new official agreement. The current holiday visiting pass agreemenl, in unprecedented negotiations this month, expires Jan. S. There was uneasiness in the West Berlin press over the pros pect of negotiations with the Communists, whose regime the West does not recognize. But Albertz said there was no rea son for such fears. He said the cily acted only in agreement with tire West German govern ment and tile Western Allies. He said the "technical, prac tical contacts" with the Commu nists did not constitute recogni tion. Western Allied sources dis agreed and said West Berliners would not have accepted the visiting passes if they realized the political cost.

Behan, 40, the hard-drinking former revolutionary whose plays have been hits in London and New York, was found un conscious in a Dublin street shortly after midnight. He had left Dublin's Royal Hospital only Sunday after un dergoing treatment for diabetes since Christmas Eve. Today, he was in Meath Hos pital, where a spokesman said "his injuries are definitely con sistent with his having been knocked down by a car." "Early this morning he re gained consciousness, but he has lapsed into unconsciousness again," the spokesman added. "I would not say he was in a coma." Behan's books and plays In clude "Borstal Boy," "The Hos tage," "The Square Fellow," and "Brendan Behan's Island." Many persons have drawn a parallel between Behan and the Welsh-born poet Dylan Thomas, who shared the Irishman's penchant for uncontrolled drinking. Naturalized Composer, Pauf Hindemuth Passes 'FRANKFURT, Germany (UPD The music world today mourned ihe death of German born composer Paul Hindemith, 08, who became a naturalized American after being driven from his homeland by Nazi tyr anny. Hindemith, one of the greats of modern music, died Saturday in a Frankfurt hospital of what was diagnosed as circulatory failure. "Germany has lost its great est musician since Richard Strauss," said French com poser Darius Milhaud. Hindcmith's controversial mu sic, which was often full of dis sonance, was banned in Ger many in 1934 by Nazi propa ganda chief Josef Goebbels as "culturally Bolshevist" and "spiritually non-Aryan." The composer left Germany shortly afterward and lived for a time in Turkey. He settled in the United States in 1939, accepted a pro fessor's chair at Yale Univer sity and became an American citizen. He was credited with revitalizing the Yale Music School and helping mold a gen eration of young American mu sicians and composers before leaving in 1951 to make his home tin Switzerland. Perhaps Hindcmith's greatest work was the opera, "Malhis der Maler," barred by the Nazis from performance Jit the Berlin State Opera. The composer received tlic Bach Prize of the city of Ham burg in 1951, Finland's Sibelius Prize in 1955, the Goethe Shield of Frankfurt in 1956 and this year was awarded the $50,000 Balzan Prize of Italy's Balzan Foundation. cily wall after Ihe present ar rangement for holiday visits to East Berlin expires Jan. 5. West iRerliners look advan lage of their passes Sunday in record numbers, with 154,021 crossing into Ihe Soviet sector for tlie day. The previous day's high was 70.000 on Saturday. The crush caused an unprece dented traffic jam of automo biles, buses, street cars, baity carriages, and pedestrians. West Berlin Mayor Willy 'Brandt indicated he was willing lo hold new talks with Hie Com munists. In the past, the West has refused to negotiate with ICast Germany because it has sought to avoid giving the Com munist regime any measure of recognition. Brandt called the Christmas pass agreement a pmall step forward. "I haVo" no dolibt that we must continue along this path." he said. "This is our immedi ate task in Ihe new year." Neucs Deutschland, the Com munist party newspaper df East Germany, said East Germany was willing to make concessions "but we also have demands to make on the other side. Com promises are necessary." The West Berlin newspaper Tagcsspicgel said further pass talks could make the Western allies feel West Berlin and West Germany were adopting a new policy of negotiations with Ihe Communists.

Early Sunday afternoon the two leaders, in consultation with tlieir foreign ministers, agreed on a joint communique that stressed the importance of continuing lo explore all Kissi blc avenues to improvement of East-West relations, easing of tensions and the enlargement of prospecls for peace. Tile communique was issued in a dusty yard outside the gymnasium of the grammar school at Stonewall, Tex. Smoke from barbecue pits swirled over Ihe scene in a pungent fog.
