WASHINGTON. March 20- -Af- ter accustoming himself to high attitudes by living at an elevation ,of 5000 feet for the last five years, Guy c. Caldwell, Rocky Mountain guide makes the an nouncement through the head quarters of the American Nature association here that he will at tempt to scale the precipitous cliffs of Mt. Mckinley next year. A party of three, headed by Hudson Stuck, is credited with having reached the summit of this highest peak oh the North Ameri- can continent in June. 1913, but as yet no one has made motion pictures of the. higher portions Caldwell intends to make movies of the mountain and of the wild life and fauna he encounters. The mountain is 350 miles north of Seward, Alaska, and is 20.300 feet high.
 i Caldwell is the guide who open ed up the trail "n Longs Peak in Colorado and is the only man who ever guided woman down the east face of that treacherous mountain. She was Mrs. c. P. Edmonds of Chicago. Caldwell also directed seven-year-old Bob bic Iddings of Lansing.- Mich, the only boy to make the climb by way of the north face
 Caldwell went over his plans with Arthur Newton Pack, asso- ciate editor of Nature Magazine. and said he expected to spend three months on Mt. Mckinley. His party will have to drink melt ed snow and cook it's food on alcohol stoves.
 "First I aim to fly around Mt. Mckinley and tok good look" Caldwell told Pack 'I want to get some motion pictures of this home of the most famous glaciers on this continent
 "I am now rounding up my par ty, but the right kind of men are hard to get. The men must be of the Sight temperament and sports mansiiip and not just strong men. There are a lot Of strong men who cannot stand high attitudes. Then again there are men who are not affected hy altitude but are towards when caught in a tight place. It's not easy to find the right combination.v

the United States Davis Cup team
meets Mexico here, April 6, z and 8.
Kinsey, although born in St. Lou

Mexican team. One of his team
mates probably will be . 50-year-
old Englishman, Claude NJ. Butlin,
Jr., who has played in veterans
tournaments in the United States.
By the luck of the draw this team
is the first that the American play
ers headed by Big Bill Tilden must
meet in the first stage Of their long
campaign to win back the cup from
France.
Kinsey now makes his home in
this country. He has married a
Mexican girl and is in business
here. Last year his right to play
for Mexico was challenged by the
Japanese on the ground he was a
United States citizen, but the pro.
test was disallowed when it was
found he satisfied Davis Cup resi-
dencc requirements.
Before moving to Mexico, Kinsey
was a leading figure in tennis in
the United States, making quite a
record j. doubles with his younger
brother, Howard, row a profess
sional, and ranking sixth in singles
there in 1922.
The Mexican team has almost no
hope Of stopping the strong United
States team, although hopeful of
avoiding a shutout. Kinsey, while

Tunncy hasn't fought in his native
state of New York since he knocked

1925 before he won the heavyweight
championship. Indications now are
that some other state-perhaps New

cash, simply don't mix. and the re.
sultant clash has thrown at least

always been adamant--or just plain
stubborn-and probably will be this
