Here are odd cases of
delayed action. 1t took
one husband 43 years to

ErrGud boy. An Apponaugh,
GR. L., man, who left his
home and wife 43 years ago to
buy talcum powder, returned the
other day with the powder and
correct change. "I've got a won
derful memory" he said simply.
Historical record. Antonio
Turrisi, whose farmhouse in
Sicily was bombed during World
War: II, filed a compensation
claim and shortly received the
equivalent of 40 cents. The baf-
fed man finally discovered that
the money covered damages
caused to the same property in
the 1860 campaign for the liberia
ton of Sicily.
Balancing the books. When
a certain man was arrested for
murder and sentenced in Balti-
more, a former employer read
about the case and recalled that
the man had worked for him
four hours, at the rate of Is cents
an hour, in 1888, but left with
out getting his pay. He promptly
called on the man in prison and
gave him the dollar.
Cautious type. In New Iberia,
La, a grocer decided not to order
any of the tobacco advertised on
a card he received from a New
Orleans company. 1t was post
marked September II, 1905.
Honesty poys. A tailor in Lon
don received a note from an
American: Il believe I still owe
you for a suit bought during the
war" The tailor could find no
trace of the sale in his 1939-45
accounts. A few weeks later the

Hillary Beat Tensing
ToSummit, Hunt Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

KATMANDU. Nepal, June 16.-
Col. John Hunt. leader of the
victorious Mount Everest expedi-
tion, said yesterday New Zea-
lander Edmond Hillary reached
the 29,O02-foot high summit
flrst-not Nepalese guide Tensing
Bhutia as some of the natives of
Katmandu are claiming.
While paying tribute to Ten
sing. Col. Hunt told neWsmen he
was surprised to read newspaper
accounts that the Sherpa tribes
man had climbed to the top first,
and then helped Mr.. Hillary up
the last few feet of the worlds
highest known mountain.
These accounts published last
week were based on information
which Sherpas in Katmandu in
sist was contained in a message
they received from Tensing by
native runners. Tensing and
Hillary. plagued by rains along
the narrow and dangerously slip
perry Himalayan footpaths, are
expected to arrive here Friday or
Saturday.
Col. Hunt. who reached here
Saturday night with two men,
bers of his l6-man British ex-
pedition. emphasized his groups
team spirit and spent consider
able time clearing up what he
called misapprehensions of Ten
sings role in the successful climb
May %.
AT no single stage did Tensing
guide the party" he said. His
role has always been second.
Extravagant misconceptions on
the role of each member of the
party do more harm than good
to the member concerned and
the team as a whole"
Col. Hunt praised the scores
Of Sherpa porters for their won
derful job in transporting the

Authority 10 Cancel

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp today was given author
ity to cancel drivers privileges
If he should see fit.
The District Commissioners
offlcially vested this new power
in Mr.. Keneipp on the recon-
mendation of their Traffic Ad-
visory Board. 1t would operate
In addition to the present point
system of permit revocations
based on points against drivers
for violations.
Granting of the authority is
aimed at taking off the streets

rector. The director would have
the perogative of suspending or
revoking a drivers permit i'm
mediately after an accident, for

Needed in Unusual Cases."
A traffic department spokes-
man explained that the purpose
OF granting the new powers is
to enable the traffic director to
act in unusual cases."
The authority was asked. the
official said. after a fatal acci-
dent on Suitland parkway, in
which two small girls were struck
by an automobile. The spokes-
man explained that in the nor
NAL course of things. the driver
involved would be permitted to
continue operating until after
a court trial of charges against
him.
In its report to the city heads.
the Advisory Board did not spec
1fy its reasoning behind the rec
ommendation. The report merely
stated that this procedure is
standard policy in most of the
States"
ut is believed" the board de-
clared, that the Director of
Vehicles and Traffic should have
similar authority here, particu-
larly in cases where a new opera
tors permit has been issued with
the understanding that it will
be suspended or revoked if addi-
tlonal violations occur.
Can Get IL Dement'S.
In the normal course of
things. the Districts version of
the Connecticut point system
provides a tallying of demerits
against motorists for each traf-
nc violation. On the, accumula-
tion of IL demerits points, a
drivers permit is subject to revo-
cation. Three points draw an
official warning from traffic au-
thorities; five points, a confer
ence, and seven, suspension of
driving privileges.
In cloaking the traffic director
with his new punitive powers,
the Commissioners at the same
time gave him authority to erase
any accumulated points if he de-
slreS.
In other regulatory actions.
the city heads ordered that taxi
cab drivers be refused their Ii
censes until the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation clears them.

route at this point seemed alb
Surd.
Nevertheless we couldn't hide
our excitement. We were as
happy to be in the mountains at
last and. to be able. from now on,
to devote ourselves to the real
object Of the whole expedition.
We all hurried on, forded the
swirling torrent-the Dambush
Khola-and so made our entry
into Tukucha.
The long approaching march
was now over. The date was
April 81 and we had taken just
over fortnight to travel prac-
tically right across Nepal.
The weather was superb. and
this first day at headquarters
the mountains were looking their
very best. It was marvellous to
get at last a clear view Of the
peaks all round us!
A Veil of Mist.
The Gandaki Valley is a long
rift between two immense noun
tain groups: The Dhaulagiri
masSif on the west rising to 26,-
795 feet, and the Annapurna
massif on the east rising to &c.
493 feet. A veil of mist lies in
the depths of this rift, giving
even greater majesty to these
literally inaccessible walls that
tower over us.
The shapely Nilgiris, the blue
mountains" glitter nearly $4,000
feet above us. Towards the north
the sky is much clearer. AS far
as we could judge, vegetation is
sparse up there toward Tibet.
The village of Tukucha is a
maze of alleys, and the houses.
regular little fortresses, are
mostly caravanserais where pass
ing travellers can find lodging
for the night.
The majority of the 500 in
habitants are Buddhists whose
piety can be judged from the
number of wheels on the
50-yard-long wall. Our sherpas
never omitted, when passing, to
give a joyful turn to the metallic
cylinders upon which sacred
texts are engravel-a far more
practical idea than the idea of
reciting of lengthy prayers.
Seeking a Route.
Since our arrival at Tukucha
we had all r1ursed a secret hope
of discovering a safe and easy
ridge that would lead us straight
to the summit of Dhaulagiri or
Annapurna.
The southeast ridge of
Dhaulagiri, which was clearly
marked on the map. and which
we had seen from Baglung, gave
us some slight encouragement,
but no one was very certain.
Then there was the north ridge;
it was undoubtedly ice, but
judging from the general struc-
ture Of the mountain, Its mod
crate angle and slight rise in
height would make it very suit
able for an attempt. Now. by
pitching q few intermediate
camps. we might. 80.
AS for Annapurna, its proxi-
nifty to the Tilicho trail seemed
to make It easily accessible, and
for that very reason it lost a
good deal of it's interest from
the climbers point of view.
Next day Jean Couzy left with
Pansy tAng-Tsering) on a re-
connaissance to make obServa-
tions from the 13,000-foot point
that overlooks Tukucha and
which should command a won
derful view.

weeks were spent in establishing
headquarters at Tukucha, and
in exploring the area seeking an

DOINT FOUR, the program
l. that shares United States
technical knowledge with free
nations struggling toward the
better life, has recently passed
a milestone in its operational
embodiment.
From its birthplace in the
State Department as the
Technical Cooperation Ad-
ministration, it has been
transferred to the Foreign
Operations Administration
under President EiSenhower's
plan for uniting foreign aid.
A review of Point Four
activities highlights many
readily apparent advances
since the program was started
in 1850 under the Act for
International Development.
With more than 1900 Amer
leans now working in IS coun-
tries beside leaders who have
requested their aid, Point
Four can point to tangible
results in improved agricul-
ture, education, health and
industry.
However, the waves of good
will and indirect results of
these Improvements can not
be measured with any yard
stick now used by Govern
ment agencies.

methods that will enable In
dians to escape from their
traditional enemy-hunger.
Agricultural experts have
predicted that within five
years, India will probably
conquer the threat of famine
In 10 years her food produc-
ton will have doubled. The
yield of potatoes in one area
has been increased from ll9
bushels per acre to 253, and
the wheat yield has been
doubled in some sections.
Iran, first country that re-
quested technical aid, has
reaped substantial benefits,
In 1851, airplanes were sent
to spray insecticides on hordes
of destructive locustS which
were attacking millions of
acres. Crops worth $50 mil
lion were saved.
The people of Iran also can
see the results of Point Four
in the daily life of many iso-
lated villages. A new type of
seed distributed by Point Four
agents has helped increase
the wheat yield. New wells
and water systems constructed
with the advice of Point Four
technicianS are effectively de-
creasing communicable dis
eases as we'll as increasing
water supply for irrigation.
Mobile clinics for health edu-
cation circulating through
the country are giving Iran
ian children more chances to
reach adulthood.
In several countries of the
Middle East and Africa, tech
nical aid programs are help
ing to overcome the ancient
problem of drought. For ex-
