Trousers Held Up,
But Not on, by
Pants Pressers

DR.. Charles S. Houston,
the noted mountain climber
now visiting here, ran up
against a hazard yesterday
that he never could en-
counter in scaling a great
peak.
His press conference at
the Hotel Statler had to be
delayed a little. The reason?
He had sent his pants out
to be pressed, and they were
late in being returned.

convention here.
Among those present was, Su-

novice at mountain climbing
himself, and the author of the
book, Behind the High Hima-
layas."
Climbing Since BOyhOOd.
DR.. Houston. who is Al and
practices medicine in Exeter,
N. H., has been mountain climb
ing since his first stint at the
Alps when he was II years old.
His father, Oscar r. Houston, a
New York attorney, was the first
white man to go to Everest. but
he did not attempt to climb the
mountain, which 49, ,0O2 feet high.
DR.. Houston said he feels the
climbing of K-2 gave him and his
eight-man expedition almost as
much of a sense of accomplish
ment as if they had reached
the top. The qualifications for
his expedition, he recited, were
a high level of character, per-
sonality and compatibility, even
more than ability or experience,
because we had to live to-
gether under difficult conditions.
K2, the king of Pakistan's
Karakoram range, scars 28,250
feet above sea level and is 100
miles from the nearest road. Be-
fore DR.. HouSton's attempt, only
four previous attempts to scale
the peak had been made. The
most recent expedition, in 1889,
ended in disaster, and the fate
Of the four men who disappeared
on the mountain still is a mys-
terry.
Death Often Near.
DR.. Houston and his compan-
ions had many close brushes with
death last year on K2. At $4,000
feet one man fell and swept
four others over the side. Only
the fouling Of three of the thin
nylon ropes and the magnificent
relay work of another member
of the expedition saved their
lives. as they fell 200 feet on
the icy slopes.
Later, another member of the
expedition, Art Gilkey, lost his
life when he was swept away by
an avalanche. And there were
nine days when DR.. Houston and
his companions were Swamped
by a raging storm and trapped
in their tents at 25,500 feet, just
2,750 feet from the summit of
the lonely mountain.
He said an Italian expedition
to try to scale K2 has just gotten
under way.

POLICY BOARD
RAPS new BILLS

HELENA - Montana's Inter.
tribal Policy Board in a weekend
meeting in Helena vigorously
protested" passage of two bills
before Congress which would end
federal supervision over Mon.
tana's Flathead Indians.
More than so Indians attended
the meeting. Chairman Rep. Dave
Higgins R.Glacier) presided. He
termed the session one of the
best ever conducted.
The resolution referred to HR
1919 and SIR 275O before Cong.
ress which provide for termin.
alton of federal supervision over
the property of the Confederated
Salish and Ko0tenai tribes of the
Flathead reservation land the in.
dividual members thereof"
The resolution pointed out that
consent of the tribes has not
been obtained for the introduc.
ton of this legislation even
though President Eisen h O wer
and various members of his cab.
met have repeatedly implied that
such advice and consent of the
Indians would be secured prior
to the introduction of any legis.
latiOn affecting the Indians.
These bills purport to solve
Indian problems without consid.
cring the tremendous impact up.
on the Indians and state and 10.
cal governments" If federal sup.
port should DC withdrawn, many
governmental services would be.
come a state burden and some
federal monies would no longer
be available.
The resolution concluded: aft.
or careful and deliberate consid.
Grafton and discussion, We, the
Montana lntcrtribal Policy board,
representing all seven Indian res.
ervations and the landless lndi.
ans. hereby vigorously protest
and oppose the passage of the
above legislation"
Chairman Higgins said a cur.
rent schedule Of hearings on the
bills before House Senate
joint Indian Affairs subcommit.
tee includes a Feb. "a and Is
hearing on the Flathead reserv.
alton.
Another resolution passed by
the group cited "undeveloped ma.
tural resources" on Montana res.
crvatiOns and that certain pro.
jccts need to be enlarged for the
benefit and economy of the areas
affected. The board respectfully
requests the Congress and Mon.
tana to review and encourage
and promote every feasible de.
vclopment of said resources"
Higgins announced an institute
of Indian affairs to he held some
time IN March at Montana State
University to acquaint the pub.
lie with problems confronting the
