DEPARTMENT - Details of a mission to recover the bodies of 19 persons presumed killed when their CAY Air Transport Com- mand plane crashed near the top of Mt. Brooks last month were disclosed October 24th, at Alaskan Department headquar- ters. The expedition is one of the most difficult ever attempted in Alaska.
 The plane, which was flying on instruments under icing condi- tons, crashed September 18th at an altitude of 9,700 feet near the top of the peak between Eldridge and Muldrow glaciers. Mt. Brooks, one of the greater peaks in the area of Mt. Mckinley, is located in a sector which has never been accurately charted, and so far as army authorities can determine, no person has ever climbed the mountain.
 The really difficult mission. that of actually climbing the snow-covered mountain to the wrecked plane, still lies ahead of the party. An advance party headed by Grant Pearson, a ran- ger of the Mckinley Park Ser vice and one of the few persons ever to climb Mt. Mckinley, high est mountain in North America. has made its way to the edge of Muldrow Glacier and was order ed not to proceed further pend- ing arrival of special equipment, without which ascent of the mountain was considered ex- treme1y dangerous.
 Because of the hazardous na- ture of the expedition, the A members of the party were se- lected from especially-qualified soldier volunteers from various organizations. Capt. America R. Peracca, Corps of Engineers, of Crockett, Calif., 11th Air Force land rescue expert, cancelled his scheduled return to the States on rotation to take charge of the ac- tual expedition. Major J. G. Hill of Denver, Colo, was selected to organize the mission.
 After the wreclzage of the plane was located September 21, Col. Ivan M. Palmer, air base com mander here, flew MT. Pearson over the wreckage to determine whether it was possible to reach the wrecked plane. Colonel Pal mer and MT. Pearson reported their findings at conference with It. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, Alaskan Department command CT, Brig. Gen. Harry A. Johnson, commander of the 11th Air Force Sevice Command, and other army officials, and it was decided that every effort short of risking lives would be made to recover the bodies and gain information about the accident.
 A base camp has been estab- lished at Wonder Lake, nearest point on the Mckinley Park road to Mt. Brooks. Forward camps have been set up at Cache Creek and McGonagaH Pass, near the edge of Muldrow Glacier, to sup port the party that will attempt

John Gunther, well-known
for his books, Inside Europe"
and Inside Asia" went inside

er picture of the strategy used
in the invasion of Europe.
His ID Day" (Harpers: So,
differing from his other VOL

covering the front. 1t starts out
with a trip to Africa via New

1t takes you through Cairo, up

ish Eighth Army plowed in pur-
suit of Rommel, over into Malta,
the battered bulWark of the
mid Mediterranean, into Sicily,
touches Italy just before the in
vasion, and traipses into Tur-
key.
Gunther, like Reynolds, got
right down into the dirt with the
boys. He spent most of his time
with the British Eighth, and he
has nothing but admiration for
Generals Alexander and Mont
gomery. Monty, be 1t known,
wasn't in such favor with his
troops when he took them over
as the Huns were at the gates of
Alexandria. But the teetotaling
firebrand from North Ireland
now has the respect of every
man Jack in his army, and the
results show it.
In addition to vivid action
scenes of the conditions on NAL

on Turkey is enlightening. The
Turks, undoubtedly, are reaping
a golden harvest from the war.
But despite the riches, they long
for IL to end, and pray they will
never have TO get into it. And

HiqhIiqhts from the Latest Books

Readers of Kyle Crichton's
sprightly writings in Golfers
will welcome the news that he
has turned his talents to novel.
For The Proud People" is, as
one might expect, a very good
novel.
In the story of a Spanish fam
lily in New Mexico. the emotion
al and numerous Esquivels, de-
scendants of an Esquivel who
had come to America in 1898.
They were proud of their heri-
tage and their race. Consequent
ly when Lolita and Lorenzo Lee
jana, children Of the widowed
Eloisa Esquivel, are discriminate
ed against because they are
Spaniards, you expect them to
fight back. And they do; the
climax of Lorenzo's rebellion is
reached when he is called up
in the draft and refuses to re-
port.
Some years ago Mr.. Crichton
wrote a critical piece in which
he animadverted upon the novel
as a dying literary form. The
gist of his argumet was that a
writer with a message ought not
10 clutter up the landscape with
fictional characters and happen
ings when he could make his
point so much better with biog-
raphy and straight reporting.
How satisfactory it Is that Mr..
Crichton refused to take his own
arguments too seriously For in
The Proud People he chooses
to tackle the problem of racial
minorities in America, and it is
to his great credit that he hand
les it SO skillfully and yet so un-
obtrusively that the enjoyment
of his fine narrative is not i'm
paired in the slightest degree.
The problem of the Esquivels is
not simple one and it is fur
ther complicated when Lorenzo
defiantly falls in love with a
Mexican girl, whose people in
turn are highhatted by the
Spaniards. (Pharisaism, in other
words, is everywhere

player, a great man" This is un-
reinstatement; Estevan is one of
