Jefferson, N. H., Oct. 14--(UP)- A grim tale was told today by eight surviving mountain climbers of how one of their party perishe d in a pre-winter blizzard in the White Mountain region wrere five-year-old Pamela Hollingworth survived eight days exposure.
 Victim of the timberline tragedy on Mt. Jefferson's rugged granite face was 26-year-old L. Carl Haber- land of Boston, veteran climber who died of exposure and exhaus- ton in the savage storm early yes- terday, only an hour before rescuers arrived.
 Huddled beside his sleet-covered body were five companions, includ- ing two women, who were among a party of nine that spent the holi- day weekend tramping across the vast Presidential range.
 The group was found after three of the party battled down storm swept Caps trail to their auto at tho base and drove to Q nearby sum- mer estate where they enlisted the sid e three expert mountalneera. 6 forest service crew and members of a COG camp.
 Ihs party, all 1kum Mns rhusz1is,

included MT. and Mrs. Carl Hellmer of Stoneham, Richard D. Parant and Richard Steer, both of Melrose, Wilbur Smith of Medford, Miss Vivian Sherman of Cambridge, Her. man Miller of Boston and Henry Coolidge of Concord.
 Late Friday they left for the White Mountains by auto and spent Saturday and Sunday clambering over the rough Middle Sister and Hobbs Brook trails on Mt. Chocoura where little Pamela Hollingworth of Dunstable, Mass. was found alive October 6 after being lost for eight days.
 On Sunday the party drove their auto to Jefferson and began climb ing through the more rugged reaches of the range toward mile- high Mt. Washington.
 The blizzard shut down on them ts they topped the red-brown gram ite shoulder of Mt. Jefferson.

NEUTRALITY ACT

 By Wheeler
BY JAMES sHEPLEY

United Press Stan COrreSpOndent) Washington, Oct. l4.-(UP)-House leaders were confi- dent today of getting a majority of 80 to 100 votes for the bill to au- thorize the arming of merchant ships while congressional non-inter- ventionists planned to make their big fight in the Senate.
 The House foreign affairs com- mittee completes its hearings today. Chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. r., mo- tifled six persons who had asked to testify against the authorization, that the committee would hear them today. A definite opposition program was lacking because the ranking Republican member, Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. r., refused to attend the hearings or to call op- position witnesses because the hear ings had been limited to two days.
 Opposition in the House was not vocal nor did 1t seem extensive and this raised the hopes of administra- ton leaders that the bill would pass, maybe by late Friday, with 8 re- sounding majority.
 Several opponents of administra- ton policy were going along with

Eight Surviving Mountain Climbers Tell Grim Story About Death Of Leader

Finally, Coolidge, Steer and Mil- Ter, the least tired and most expert climbers, agreed to seek aid and left the main party. It was hours before they reached the base and enlisted the support of Adams Car ter and Peter Hunsaker of Boston and pr. Edgar Boring of Salt Lake City, Utah.
 With food and medicine, the trio set out, leaving the others at the base. Three hours later they reached the rest of the party grouped near the still form of Haherland.
 According to survivors, Haberland became unconscious when Coolidge, Steer and Miller left, and died short- ly before aid arrived.
 The descent with Haberland's body was made more difficult bee cause the sleet and snow stopped and q heavy mist cut visibility to a few feet. The three rescuers and the party were met by forest rangers and eco enrcllees about halfway down and reached the base late yes- terday afternoon.
