Coast Guard 'copter Rescues Injured Boy

SEATTLE, (P) = The Goa t Guard and a Boy Scout troop joined forces yesterday to rescue Scout who was injured in a 30-foot fall off a Cascade moun- tain cliff.
 While Chief Enlisted Pilot Char les E. Mueller hovered overhead in a Coast Guard helicopter flown from Port Angeles, the Scouts, armed with hatchets, hacked at underbrush in the Snoqualmie Pass area to provide clearance for a safe landing.
 Then the 'copter landed and picked up 14-year-old John Pear son, the Seattle Scout who had suffered brain concussion and pos sible skull fracture in the fall Sat urday.
 John was on a hiking trip with II other Scouts at the time of the accident. Fellow Scouts slipped his unconscious body into a sleeping bag and sent messengers for help.
 Hospital attendants at Seattle told the boys parents, MT. and Mrs. E. J. Pearson, his life may have been saved by the fact he was not moved until the helicop- ter reached the area.

Washburn Party Reach Summit of Mount Mckinley

FAIRBANKS, R) = Bradford Washburn, Boston explorer, said Friday night his party, which made the first west side ascent of Mt. Mckinley last week, had dis covered a way to reach the sum- init of North Americas highest mountain safely and quickly"
 Washburn was flown here by Dr. Ferris Moore, president of the University of Alaska, who picked him up at the mountains 10000 foot level at the head of Hakiltana Glacier. Coming out also in Dr. Moore's small plane were James Gale of Anhorage and Capt. Will liam ID. Hackett of Denver, who made the climb with Washburn.
 Five other members of the party still are on the mountain, ex- pected to reach the summit at any hour.
 Washburn said the mountain might be used in the future as a site for a fixed-position radar sta- tion or cosmic ray laboratory, if such an installation is desired above the 18,000 foot level.
 He said he believed the dis covery of an easy route. to the summit more than justified the project, which is sponsored jointly by Denver University, the Boston Museum of Science and the Uni versity of Alaska.
 Washburn said further tn a t scientific information gathered on the ascent proved that Dr. Fred erick A. Cook never reached the summit of Mt. Mckinley, as he claimed to have done in 1906.
 "We found it is impossible to have climbed the mountain over the route Dr. Cook described" said Washburn. "Our findings in- dicated that Cook no doubt cir cumnavigated the mountain as he claimed, but he never climbed to the summit over the route he de- scribed."
 Washburn's party mapped the west side of the mountain and studied its geology.
