1900 feet high, we made a successful
ascent Of the south peak of Mount NC
Kinley on May Z and the north peak
on May 9.
We broke camp and started down at
noon on May 10, but we're delayed by
snow and we were nightbound on
KarStens Ridge. We arrived at the
head of Muldrow Glacier at am. on
May IL and found the camp of Allen
Carpe and Theodore Koven, who were
engaged in making cosmic ray observa-
tionS and who later intended to climb
the mountain.
This camp had not been occupied for
two days or more, but it was clear that
it had not been abandoned. Their
diaries indicate they had gone down
Muldrow on Sunday, May 8, to meet
friends who were to join them for the
climb.
We proceeded down the glacier with
out delay, and miles down we found
the body of Koven, who had died from
injuries suffered in a fall in a crevasse
and subsequent exposure. He had been
dead at least two days.
Nearby We found signs which indi-
Gated that Carpe also had fallen into
the crevaSse and that only Koven had
been able to get out. We were unable
to locate Carpe.
We returned to the head of Muldrow

WOMAN DRY SENDS
CABINET WARNING
Mrs. William Tilton Declares Par
ties Should Back Enforcement
Until VETS Offer Plan.

In a communication sent to members
of President Hoover's cabinet, Mrs.
William Tilton, chairman of the Wom-
ems National Committee Against Al
cohol, said 1.-The wise party will call
for enforcement until the vets present
carefully worked-out better plan"
Explaining her action, she said:
Party planks, forcing congressman
Of vast dry districts to vote wet regard
less of sentiment back home, turns our
country from representative to miSrep-
resentative Governments very danger
Gus precedent. Party planks are for
matters that unite rather than divide
parties. Both parties divide on re-
peal, camouflaged as resubmission
(Which it is not) or referendum (Which
it is not). Both parties, however, agree
on law enforcement.
Both parties by inserting a repeal
plank invite wide defections. Wide de-
fections invite stay-at-home voters or
third-party candidates, and In time a
new alignment"
She added that mere repeal means
social chaos" and that "a presidential
candidate cannot be divorced from his
plank. He makes the planks."

OPPOSES
CUTS IN NIGHT PAY
Amendment Offered to Ex-
empt Printers and Engravers
From Reductions.

The section of the general economy
bill suspending for the next fiscal year
all extra pay for overtime and night
work would not apply to regular night
workers of the Government Printing
Office and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, If an amendment drafted by
Senator Tydings Democrat, of Mary
land. is adopted.
Introduction of the Tydings amend
ment followed receipt by the Senate
Economy Committee yesterday of a
letter from Clyde M. Mills, president
of Columbia Typographical Union, pro-
testing against proposed pay cuts for
Government printers and taking par
ticular exception to the ban on night
work rates.
The Senate economy group has de-
ferred meetings for a few days.
Reduction of salaries "all along the
line" and elimination of unnecessary
Federal institutions were urged by
Senator Capper, Republican of Kansas,
as part Of the retrenchment program,
in radio address oyer the Columbia
Broadcasting System today.
II have told the Senate" he said,
"that We should begin this economy
program by cutting the salaries of Sen
atorS and congressman. II the country
had believed Congress was seriously at
tacking the job of reducing expenditures
and getting the job done it would not
have been necessary for President Hoo
yer to send his recent biting messages
to Congress. The messages were justi-
fed.
1T seems to me today that Con-
gress must realize that the country ex-
DectS IL tn do foIIr things hafora aH
journment in June"
He listed them as follows: "Cuts In
Government costs, all the way along the
line; pass tax bill which will allow
business and all taxpayers to know Just
where they stand in the matter of taxes
for the next year; enact some further
emergency relief legislation, to take
care of present distress and start the
wheels Of industry moving again, and

develop on soil rich in salt, so that the
growth of vegetation is affected This
is an alkali region. The sufferers from
stock paralysis carried over the "alkali'
explanation.
Chemist Clears Ergot.
Later investigations attributed the
condition to the fungus ergot which was
found growing on the wheat. This was
accepted until a chemist in the local
experiment station attacked the prob
lem. He succeeded in clearing the ergot
of responsibility.
Experiments showed that the grain
would produce the same results when
fed at distance. 1t was at this point
that the Department of Agriculture was
called in because of the apparently
unique scientific nature Of the phenome-
non. The further the study has pro-
greSsed the more curious it has ap-
peared, Agriculture Department sicen-
lists say.
Perhaps the nearest approach to this
condition was found in a section Of the
South where vegetation grew very
sparsely although the land was rich.
Cattle who fed on the vegetation which
sprang up developed curious anemia.
This was finally explained by the almost
complete absence Of copper In the soil.
Animals receive their copper supply
through plants.
Here the problem seems to be one not
of the deficiency, but of the presence Of

Ascent Described.

tempt to bring down Kovens body.
We loaded the body on the sled and
had travelled only few hundred yards
when Ranger Grant Pearson fell 40
feet to the bottom of the big creyasse.
We extricated him with difficulty. and
found he was painfully but not seriously
injured.
We thereupon decided that due to
the extremely dangerous condition of
the glacier, the deep snow concealing
crevaSses, We must proceed without the
body If we desired to return alive our
selves We then started again, all four
on skis and roped together, and in an
all-night descent safely came through.
The ability of Erling Strom, who led
the entire way, to remember the loca-
ton of concealed crevasseS, undoubtedly
saved us.
Find Rest of Party.
We arrived at McGonagall Pass at 3
am. on May II and found the rest of
the Carpe party. E. P. Beckwith and
Percy T. Olton, jr., camped there. We
informed them of the tragedy above and
they thereupon decided to abandon the
expedition They asked that an air
plane be sent for them and asked us
TO arrange II.
We proceeded on to the base of the
camp on Clearwater, arriving safely at
S am. the same day, after 40 hours
of continuous descent of 1900 feet.
We found the Thermometers left by the
Carpe Expedition at $4,000 feet, with
arrow recorders pointing to tempera-
lures lower than 95 degrees below zero,
