FLYS OVER MT. NckINLEY

ANCHORAGE, Aus. f5. lP,- Matt Nieminen, accompanied by mechanician Cecil Higgins, broke the All-Alaska altitude record, Wednesday, when he mounted twenty-four thousand feet, in a flight over the top Of Mt. Mckin- ley.
 The two left Anchorage at ten forty-tive that morning and flew the hundred and fifty miles to the mountain. They made the round trip, flying around the top of the mountain and back. in four hours and fifteen minutes.
 Pilot N'eminen said that the going was easy until they reached an altitude of eighteen thousand feet, but from then on the climb ing was slower, because of the lessening power of the engine.
 The plane circled the peak. part of the time within hundred feet or so of the mountain. The fliers scanned in vain the snow covered ice, for monuments sup posed to have been planted by the Stuck Expedition. After an hour of spiraling slowly upward and then circling the peak, look ing straight down the plane turn ed around for home. but did not leave before several still pictures had been obtained of the mountain from the various angles.
