Sranr turner Comes To 0mana
YMCA Monday evening, Oct. 21st
Omaha is the only city privile-
ged to hear Mr.. Turner on q fly
ing trip from the Philippines to
GrinneIl College.
1.-The spirit of the Philippine peo-
pie is the spirit of Bataan which
carried them through the period Of
Japanese occupation and which re-
presents the courage and resource
fulness with which they will meet
and nswer the challenge of their
coming independence.
That's the opinion Of r. 5. Slant
Turner, Senior Secretary Of the
International Committee Of the
YMCA at present in the United
States after liberation from Man
Has ill-famed Santo Tomsa pri-
o camp. Turner is in a position
to know Japanese policies since he
was permitted to live a year out

curry favor from the Filipino lead

a veteran Of Is years pioneer
~ service in Manila, Turner gain
ed the friendship Of the Filipinos
to a degree which is perhaps I'M
surpassed. He knows and has
worked with members OF the Cab
met. the National Assembly, the
Supreme Court and leading bus
mess and professional men. 1t was
at request of Filipino officials that
Turner and his wife, a member Of
the board of directors OF the WV
CA were temporarily released.
Prior to the fall Of Manila, Tur-
ner saw one of his most cherished
dreams come true. Following YIN
CA World Service policy he had
worked to establish q truly indigen
Gus movement, managed and stat
fed by Filipinos and supported by
their contributions. His task was
accomplished when, on January 10,
1910 Domingo @. Bascara became
general secretary and Turner mo
wed into an advisory capacity as
nonary general secretary.
He (Turner) has given the Phil
ppines a movement with a clean
name and a worthy tradition, b.
beral and progressive in views, to-
lerant in attitude, flexible and re-
sponsive to changing needs. effec-
tive in methods, efficient in man

Of youth. Turner was born in TR-

that when was free again would solve the
mystery of that sacred mountain.
was not alone in dreaming of the Anne
Machin My old friend, the late Brigadier
General Theodore Roosevelt had also heard
rumors of the tabled peak when exploring
in Western China. During one of my fleeting
visits to New York, Ted and had luncheon
together at the Harvard Club and we resolved
some day to explore the mountain together
Later. back in China was thrilled to learn
that Joseph Rock. an extraordinary hermit
explorer who seeks plants in the far places
of the world had penetrated to the head
waters of the Yellow River where no white
man had ever been before For almost two
years he had tried to reach the Anne
Machin. but had never quite made it. He
viewed it and photographed it. however,
from a distance of IS miles. and esti-
mated that it lowered more than q, 900
feet. He had no instruments for an exact
computation
Finally, in the late 'thirties. l saw Ted
Roosevelt again and we decided to get the
Anne Machin off our chests. We made
definite plans for the expedition. l was to
send my missionary in advance to make
preliminary contacts with the native tribes

Western China, start caravan OF yaks and
mules and bring on our scientific staff when

ing tribes as Joseph Rock reported, are
untouched by civilization. They believe the
world is fiat, that the sun rises and sets
behind mountain in the center of the uni
verse. They make war with spears and swords
instead of machine guns and atom bombs.
The opportunity to study these people. to
record their life, language, religion and phys
ical attributes prior to foreign contamina-
ton, would be like having animals of the Ice
Age - mammoths and saber-toothed tigers

But now - to describe Operation Mystery
Mountain, which has dwelt in my thoughts
for many months. How to determine once
and for all whether Anne Machin is the
highest peak on the earth's surface? How to
go about exploring its somber valleys?
An Aix-bozne Operation
Ten years ago, when Ted Roosevelt and l
contemplated our expedition, we planned to
20 overland Then it was the only practicable
way But the development of aircraft and the
inventions of war have made such an approach
foolishly old-fashioned.
Today, we can fly straight to the door of

that l hope to see materialize should be
entirely air-borne. From experience know

be converted into an excellent landing field
First, reconnaissance pilot would circle
the peak photographing every foot OF ground
exactly as was done in preparing for battle
in Germany. Back at the air base, analysis
of the pictures would reveal possible landing
fields Then work crew with clearing equip
ment would be dropped in the area by para
chute l am sure they would find that
rocks and high grass were their chief
obstacles. And these. to a competent
Army engineer, would be child's play.
Then the scientists would be flown in and
the field would become base camp from
which to work. The height of the mountain
could be determined with fair accuracy by
altimeter; but surveyor must get an exact
figure by careful triangulation on the ground.
Some trouble from the natives might be
expected. Still. Judging by my experiences in
the Cobb, where Mongols saw automobiles
for the first time, l should think that the
Ngoloks would be terrified at the appearance
of an airplane and that the scientists would
be left severely alone for some time. Eventu-
ally, friendly contact could be established by
experienced anthropologists.
Thus far. the operation would be entirely
reconnaissance. From studies and collections
made in the first summers work. we could
Judge accurately the value of future findings
in every phase of science. This was the method
we employed with success in exploring the
Cobb Desert
No Climbing Planned
l HERE would. of course, be no attempt to
climb Anne Machin. In my opinion, that
would be useless expenditure of time and
effort as it was in the case of Everest.
Little knowledge could be gained from the
snowcapped peak other than whether it is
possible to force the human body to such an
altitude
Operation Mystery Mountain" would be
very expensive as a completely private under
taking. hope. however. that it may be done
under the auspices of recognized scientific
institution, with the cooperation of the
Chinese government and the Army Air Forces.
Their loan of planes. experienced personnel
and equipment now in the country would
reduce the cost virtually to that of maintain
ing the scientists and handling their collec-
tons. That hundreds of volunteers would
offer their services is a certainty.
We have spent untold millions for the study
of destruction in Operation Crossroads.
Might we not profitably spend few thou
sands on Operation Mystery Mountain?

the way was clear 1t would be long job,
dangerous and expensive - but we we're sure
the goal was worth the price.
This time the war intervened. Plans for
battle Ted went to Europe to meet hero's
death; was left with duties that drove the
Anne Machin far from my mind.
And so it remained until last year, when
heard the report of the Army pilot. could
not resist following up on it, A request for
more definite information from official sources
brought the following:
A Pilots Mistake?
we HAVE been trying to find eyewitness
personnel who might be of use in establishing
that there is, or is not. mountain higher
than Everest. E. Due to the terrain and
meteorological conditions, this area appears
to be subject to considerable altimeter fuc-
tuation This is illustrated by the recent
investigation of a verbal report made by
pilot over a year ago that he had barely
cleared a mountain while flying at 5000
feet on the direct route from Changtu to
Chabua. Investigation reveals 81 500 feet
as the altitude, and total inability on the
part of the pilot to estimate the distance by
which he cleared the mountain"
So that is that. 1t leaves the matter exactly
where it stood in 1929 when Joseph Rock
photographed the mountain.
l am scientist. To me, Anne Machin's
height is of great interest. but by no means
the only reason for exploring it.
Even after our great global struggle,
which left few corners of the earth
untouched. there is a considerable region
that still retains its primitive sanctity.
The Lost World" of fiction exists in fact. The
challenge to science is impelling, for towering
peaks, cavernous valleys and torrential rivers

nication of most forms of terrestrial life From
long experience in similar Asiatic mountains.
l venture to predict that more than half of
the small mammalian fauna of the Anne
Machin region will represent species abso-
lutely new to science.
Probably the same will hold true for the
reptiles and amphibians. Perhaps 10 per cent
of the birds and insects that fly will be

Czechs Face New Election

Prague, May 29.-CUP)-The almost even split between Marxist and non-Marxist parties in the CzechoSlovak parliament probably will cause another na- tional election this Fall or early in 1947, political observers said today.
 The new parliament, chosen last Sunday in the country's first postwar election, will be so evenly divided that agreement on basic issues for a new na- tional constitution seems un- likely. Observers expected par lament to be dissolved within a few months without adopting a constitution.

Washington, May 29-(UP)-Sec- retary of State James F. Byrnes served notice today that he will let only Generalissimo Josef Stalin re- tract an earlier agreement in prin- ciple to the U. s. plan for four power, 25-year treaty to keep Ger many disarmed.
 Soviet Foreign Minister " M. Molotoy denies--after more than three months of tacit acceptance that Stalin ever approved ill principle of such a proposal.
 Byrnes pulled out the records of three conferences to prove that he was right and Molotov wrong about Stalin,s commitment last December to Byrnes.
 Veracity in Question
 Bylnes hasn't challenged Molo- tov's veracity directly He just said in typically diplomatic language that Molotoy was inaccurately quoted or that there was misun- oerstanding.
 The reference to the possibility of Molotov being rnisquoted was ob- yiously facetious. Molotov's state
