altitude of 14,006 feet, their
leader announced yesterday.
DR.. Serge Korff, professor Of

The rope tightened around my

wider. A mad idea flashed into
my head-to climb up the slope
at speed and reach solid ground.
Then I was lifted up by a
superhuman force, and, as the
sherpas disappeared before my
eyes, I went head over heels. I
could not see what was hap

In spite of my efforts could
no longer breathe, and violent
blow on my left thigh caused me
acute pain. I turned round and

Reds Broadcast New Date.
A South Korean government
information Office spokesman
described Mr.. Rhee as "very
happy" after today's meeting.
The truce talks at Panmunjom
were recessed indefinitely June
10 after Mr.. Rhee ordered the
release Of more than q, 900 anti
Red war prisoners. But today,
Communist loud-speakers on the
battlefront broadcast a new date
for a. truce signing-July 3.
The loud-speakers previously
had predicted a truce on June
20 and later for June Is, third
anniversary of the war.
Opposes Division of Country.
Mr.. Rhee has baked at any
truce which leaves his country
divided and Chinese Communist
troops in the north. His 'mini-
mum demands" for an armistice
have been the withdrawal of
United States and Chinese
troops, a 90-day time limit on a
post-armistice political confer
ence, and a security pact with
the United States.

high South Korean source as in

had to try to get myself out. My
feet and hands were numb, but
I was able to make use of some
little hicks in the wall. There
was room for at least the edges
Of my boots.
By frenzied jerky movements
I succeeded in freeing my left leg
from the rope, and then man
aged to right myself and to climb
up q yard or two. After every
move I stopped, convinced that
! had come to the end of my
physical strength, and that in a
second I should have to let go.
A Desperate Effort.
One more desperate effort, and
I gained a few inches. pulled
on the rope and felt something
give at the other end-no doubt
the bodies of the sherpas. I
called, but hardly a whisper is
sued from my lips. There was a
deathlike silence.

the slightest advice. ALA disap-
peared, leaving Sarki alone at
the edge Of the hole; they began
to pull on the rope, slowly, SO as
not to hurt me. and ! was hauled
up with a power and steadiness
that gave me fresh courage. At
last I was out. I collapsed on
the snow.
The rope had caught over a
ridge of ice and we had been
suspended on either side. BY
good luck the weight of the two
sherpas and my own had bal
anced. If we had not been
checked like this we should have
HURLED down for another 1900
feet. There was chaos all around
us.
Lying fiat, and semiconscious,
I gazed at the wreckage about
me with unseeing eyes. We had
been carried down for about 500
feet. It was not a healthy place
to linger-suppose another ava
lanche should fall!
We must push on to Oudot.

rescued just as they are about

the elections last fall have not
changed the attitude of the
Democratic Party on foreign
policy. "The Democratic Party
in the Congress and out, con-
tinues to support the United
Nations and the unity and de-
tense Of the free world" he said
Unfortunately, however, the
elections of last fall have
strengthened the irresponsible
element in the Republican Party
The grave burden of national
leadership has apparently
brought about no change in the
attitude of the reckless and
isolationist wing of the Repub-
lican Party"
First reaction to the Truman
address came from Leonard w.
Hall, chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, who de-
clared:
"Mr. Truman is back at the
old stand-soft on economy, soft
on money and soft on COM
munism." Mr.. Hall declared Mr..
Truman was "given a well-de-
served rest by the American
people, and he should take it."
Republican Senator's reactions
to the speech were chilly. Sen
ator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan, chairman of the SUBJ
committee considering defense
funds, said Mr.. Truman is "still
hooking feathers on dollar bills
and calling them Air Force
WINGS"
The Michigan Senator said Mr..
Truman apparently forgot he
impounded some $700 million
Congress voted for Air Force ex-
panSion." (ThiS was in reference
to action Oct. 20. 1949. when
Mr.. Truman ordered placed "ir
reserve a $615 million item In
military appropriations to buil6
the Air Force to So groups, say
ing the size the House wanted
would be inconsistent with 9
realistic and balanced security
program which we can support
in peacetime."
"NO New Facts"
Chairman Saltonstall, Repub-
lican. of Massachusetts,, of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee said Mr.. Truman ''has given
us no new facts. OF course
there is danger from atomic at
tacks and there always will be, =
Senator SaltonStall said, adding
that the Eisenhower budget will
decrease danger by providing "a
better defense"
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican. Of New Jersey. Armed
Services committeeman, said the
Truman speech els additional
evidence that he personally never
did understand these defense
budgets"
