BY the As.eeiased Press

PARIS. Feb. IL. - France
readied a counterattack today in
her diplomatic battle with Spain
over the administration of
Morocco.
A note-officially described as
courteous but firm"-was drawn
up disputing Generalissimo
Francisco frances criticism of
French policy in that divided
North African land.
French Ambassador Jacques
Meyrier was ordered home from
Madrid for consultations. And
Premier Joseph Laniel's cabinet

Maurice Schumann, Secretary
OF State for Foreign Affairs. an
nounced these actions at a meet

Foreign Affairs Committee.
1T is not France that has
acted against the spirit and
letter of agreements establishing
the protectorate. but Spain.' he
said.
Theoretically. a single empire,
Morocco is divided into French,
Spanish and international zones.
Spiritual and nominal temporal
leadership rests with the Sultan,
whose royal capital is in the
French zone city of Rabat.
The current French-Spanish
row arises from Spain's refusal to
recognize Sultan Moulay Mo-
manned Ben Arafa. whom the
French installed last August
after deposing and exiting his
Observation-Disclosures cousin, Sidi

than Everest. This is because OF
the tremendous ice precipices
and other difficulties.
I'VE would all like to try Kan

is getting the permission of the
Indian government. Objections
are based on religious reasons.
They don't like to have the snow

A group from the California
Sierras will attempt the Makalu
ascent this year. Sir Edmund
said that. while it probably is
more difficult than Everest tech
nically. there still is only one
Everest, and that last stretch of
1000 feet is a big item in the
struggle with heavy oxygen
equipment.
Someone asked Sir Edmund,
a man as tall, icy and craggy as
Everest until he grins thawing-
ly, what was his highest squeak
of all time in his mountain
climbing days.
I'D say it was getting through
New York traffic with a couple

Guide Denied Trip to u. S.
Sir John said Tenzing Monkey,
the Sherpa guide who was with
Sir Edmund at the top of the
world. was now in Darjeeling,
happily setting up mountain
climbing school under Indian
government auspices. He was in
vited to make the trip to Amer

permission.
AS to the ethics Of mountain
climbers using airplaneS for re-
connaiSance purposes. Sir John
thinks that's all right. The
trouble is that present-day hell
copters are not capable of reach
ing useful heights.
Sir Edmund is learning about
Americans fast.
I'VE were in Boston for a lee
ture. and I was in the wings"
he said. "A little boy came up
and said. Aren't you one of the
chaps who climbed Everest?' I
said yes.
How many were killed. the
boy asked l replied no one.
Wasn't any one even hurt?'
the boy persisted. said no.
Then. gee, didn't you have
any adventure at ALP" He
turned away disappointedly.
Sir Edmund is a modest, un-
excitable type. But you can tell
he has known some adventure.

sion have the authority to do that
now, if you've got the nerve to
do it."
Norris Allen. executive secre-
tary of Montgomery County Tax
payers, Inc, who explained the
Lofstrand proposals to the ccm-
mittee. said they would mean an
extra cost of about So million to
the State in the first year.
Senator Lofstrand revealed,
meanwhile. that he will join
Senator Hubert P. Barton, DEM
ocrat, of Baltimore, in sponsor
ing a bill to effect annual prop
erty reasSeSSments in Maryland.
Toll Road Bill Offered.
A bill to enable the State
Roads Commission to help finance
its gigantic highway building
plans with toll roads was intro
duced in the Senate.
Present law restricts charging
tolls on Maryland roads, unless
the charge would bring in
enough money to finance the
entire highway. The Roads Com
mission has commended that no
existing highway. or any now
planned. would At under this
restriction as a toll road.
The bill introduced yesterday
by Senator John G. Turnbull,

Maryland Treasurer
Would Ease Burden
On Property Owners
BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-State
Treasurer Hooper S. Miles pro-
posed today that the burden of
financing public construction be
lifted from Maryland property
owners.
At a hearing by the Senate
Finance Committee he suggested
that Gov. McKeldin be urged to
provide for the financing of con-
struction bonds through some
sources of revenue other than
the State property tax. This levy
and no other-iS now used to
finance such bonus.
Mr.. Miles said the Legislature
should pass a joint resolution
calling on the Governor to take
this step.
However. the treasurer added
the resolution should also empha-
size the deSirability of retaining
the State real estate tax as a
backstop for financial emer-
gencies.
Mr.. Miles outlined his proposal
while opposing a bill which would
repeal the tax. The measure had
been approved earlier this week
by the Finance Committee, but
the Senate yesterday bumped it
right back to that group with a
recommendation for further
study.
School Aid Problem.
The finance unit also .wreStled
today with property assessments
and their relation to school aid.
Committee Chairman Louis l..
GoldStein, Democrat, of Calvert
County, said he will recommend
that two bills by Senator
Anders r. LofStrand. Repub-
lican, of Montgomery County. be
referred to the Grotz Commits
sion. a group named by Gov.
McKeldin last year to study the
States fiscal structure.
The committee held a hear
ing yesterday on the Lofstrand
proposals, which State School
Supt Thomas G. Pullen jr., de-
nounced as IAN attempt to bring
about uniform assessments and
taxation by Furnishing our school
children.
DR.. Pullen told the committee
the net result Of the Lofstrand
proposals would be that the low
er-asseSsed counties would get
less State aid and probably would
be cut down on school funds.

Some day a mountain climber
is going to run smack dab into
the Accountable Snowman.
This isn't the fearful predic-
ton of a superstitious native
in tho Himalayan foothills. but
the considered opinion of Sir
John Hunt. whose expedition
achieved Immortality last year
by scaling Mount Everest.
A man who plots the ascen-
sion of the worlds highest peak
isn't likely to be frightened by
native spook. And yesterday
Sir John, with a straight face,
told of encountering the track
of the dread Yeti. or Abomin-
able Snowman.
Sir John is here with Sir Ed
mund Hillary, the 33-year-old
New Zealand beekeeper. who
with Sherpa Guide Tenzing
Monkey. became the first man
ever to reach the skies via
Everest's peak. They will lecture
with illustrated pictures at 4:45
pm. and 8 pm. today in Con-
stitution Hall.
It wasn't on last years climb
that the track of the Yeti. which
the natives believe haunt the
Himalayas, was first seen.
1T was in 1887, under an
eastern precipice on Kanchen-
junga." Sir John said. I'VE were
crossing a pass at 10000 feet.
I saw the tracks because they
were going up, the same way
we were"
S0-FOOt Break in Tracks.
Sir John said there actually
were two tracks, definitely those
of two-legged creatures. The
imprints were broad and round
ed, the strides were short. They
looked so human the climbers at
first thought they had bumped
into another party.
They were negotiating diff
cult ground" he said. The
tracks came to an ice slope and
jumped 80 feet below.
"An old man at the Thyang-
bocke Monastery said the Yeti
lives on Tibetan rats which re-
semble guinea pigs" Sir John
explained. II think some day
something definite will be found.

Ex-senator Sparkman, Demo-
crat. of Alabama, officially en-
tered the May 4 Alabama Demo-
cratic primary campaign yester-
day, seeking nomination for re-
election as a self-styled guardian
of State rights.
| In prepared statement timed
to coincide with the filing Of
qualifying papers for another g.
year term in the Senate. the
1852 Democratic vice presiden-
tial nominee declared:
II believe in the principles of
States rights. I have always
stood with the Southern Sena-
tors in fighting all efforts to
destroy our Southern tradi-
tionS."
Senator Sparkman mentioned
no names. but his comment was
an obvious reply to charges by
Representative Battle, Demo-
crat, of Alabama. that the Sena-
tor is "toting water on both
shoulders" both on civil rights
and on the Taft Hartley law.
Mr.. Battle is one of three
candidates already filed against

are retired Admiral John Crom-

troll of the New York Central
Railroad. today had two Texas
friends as owners of about one
eighth Of the lines 6.447,41O
outstanding shares Of stock.
Neither of the two new stock
holders, Clinton w. sMurchison
Of Dallas and Sid w. Richard
son Of Fort Worth, had any
comment, however, on Mr..
Young'S power battle with Pres
ident William White of the Cen
trail.
Both said yesterday they pur-
chased 100000 shares each from
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
merely as an investment. Mr..
Richardson added he knew moth
ing of the Young White fight.
Mr.. Young was not available
Tor comment and the c. & o.
merely announced the $40 mil
lion sale and said it made $2.4
million on the deal.
But in New York, Mr.. White
said the sale ito interests
friendly to Mr.. Young shows up
as fallacy his statement that
he had the support of 80 per
cent Of Central's share owners.
Obviously. he doesn't think so
today. This won't make any diff
ference with respect to our
fight"
The Texas-born Young started
his struggle for New York Cen
trail control last month when he
dropped all of his connections
with the c. & O., which he had
served as board chairman.
Shortly afterward, his request
that he be made New York Gen.
trail chairman was turned down.
The next test Of strength will
come at the Central stockhold-
ers' meeting on May 26.
The 100000 shares acquired
by the two Texans had been
held in a voting trust exercised
by the Chase National Bank OF
New York. They were placed
there in 1913 when the ICC de-
clared the C. g. o. and Central
were competing roads and re-
jected Mr.. Young's bid for two
directorships on the Central's
board.
c. & o. said the trusteeship
would be dissolved automatically.
