President Eisenhower today
asked Congress for a supple

$183.00O to cover pay increases
for White House and Park Po-
lice under new legislation which
also raised the pay of District po-

in the morning, but I had to
admit that I had lost all sense

was walking normally, perhaps
rather slowly. and I had to keep
stopping to get my breath.
The sky was now covered with
clouds, everything had become
gray and dirty-looking. An icy
wind sprang up, boding no good.
We must push on!
Lachenal Disappears.
The clouds grew thicker and
came right down over us; the
wind blew stronger. but I did
not suffer from the cold. Per-
haps the descent had restored
my circulation. Should I be able
to find the tents in the mist? :
Lachenal disappeared from
time to time and then the mist
was so thick that lost sight of
him altogether. I kept going at
the same speed, as fast as my
breathing would allow.
The slope was now sleeper; ?
few patches of bare ice followed
the smooth stretches Of snow. A
good sign-I- was nearing the
camp. How difficult to hnd ones

this was odd enough-any effort

lending us wings.
Even through dark glasses the
snow was blinding-the sun
beating straight down on the ice.
We looked down upon precipi-
tous ridges which dropped away
into space, and upon tiny gla-
ciers far, far below. Familiar
peaks scared arrow-like into the
sky.
Fortunately the snow was hard,
and by kicking steps we were able
to manage, thanks to our cram
pons. A false move would have
been fatal. There was no need
to make handholds-our axes,
driven in as far as possible,
served US for an anchor.
