of the Explorers club. which has been
investigating Cooks claim he reached
the summit of Mount Mckinley, today
reported to the board OF governors or

nation from Cook on the Mount NC
Kinley expedition. and Cook appeared
before the committee on Oct. IL last
and promised to submit data and 9TH
er information. which he failed to do,
and the committee believes he purpose
ly disappeared.
The committee states 1t examined
