Mountaineers set their sights on

It was mans fourth major Hima-

years.
The worlds third highest
mountain, Kanchenjunga, is in
the Himalayas astride the bor-
der between Nepal and the In
dian protectorate Of Sikkim.
Reports to mountain climbing
circles here from Darjeeling said
the Britons reached their goal
May Is but actually stopped a
few feet short of the top. They
had promised the Sikkim state
government mot to set foot on
the sacred summit"
"But In effect Kanchenjunga
was conquered" climbing ex-
perts here said.
Mount Dhaulagiri, rising &c.
$40 feet in the Central Nepal
Himalayas, now becomes the
highest unconquered. It is the
worlds fifth tallest peak. A
Swiss German team was forced
back from its slopes this year.
The assault by nine Britons
on Kanchenjunga was led by DR.
Charles Evans. He was a mem
ber Of Sir John Hunts team
which made the first conquest
of 29.002-foot Mount Everest,

Himalayan circles said all
members of DR.. Evans team were
believed safe. The expedition
left Darjeeling. in Northeast In

pected back there about the
middle Of this month. Kanchen-
junga is los miles northwest of
Darjeeling.
The mountain consists of five
peaks. The highest has been a
climbers target since 1904, when
a British team first tried it.
Because it can be seen from all

Ford Reported
Yielding on
Annual Pay

DETROIT. June 2 (R.-The
Detroit News said today the Ford
Motor Co. has offered the strike
threatening CIO United Auto
Workers a "job security" plan
accepting the principle of the
unions guaranteed annual wage
demand.
This report came today after
Ford and the union resumed
negotiations amid new hopes
expressed by the JAW that a
strike now set for Monday could
be averted.
The union yesterday post
poned q possible strike last mid
night to consider a new pro-
posal" by the Ford Motor Co.
The JAWS four-day contract
extension delayed any strike to
Monday, only one day ahead of
the contract expiration on Tues
day at General Motors Corp.
The union met this morning
with Ford negotiators and was
due to meet this afternoon with
General Motors.
With the emphasis in the auto
industry negotiations previously
on Ford. the imminence Of q
showdown with GIN led to spec
ulation that both major auto
firms were almost equally under
the unions fire. Few expected
that both companies would be
idled at once.
Walter Reuther, president OF
the CIO-UAW and the CIO it
self, pledged in granting the
Ford contract extension to Nom
day that the UAW would stage q
strike in Ford operations then
if there was no satisfactory
settlement.
The unions guaranteed an
nual wage demand called for
year-around pay for workers laid
of in slack production periods.
Ford's first counterproposal to
this demand was a combination
offer to permit workers to buy
Ford stock at half price, borrow
during enforced idleness and get
severance pay on discharge.
4 The union still was pressing
it's guaranteed annual wage de-
mand calling for year-around
pay for workers laid off in slack
production periods. Ford's first
counterproposal to this demand
was a combination offer to per-
NIT workers to buy Ford stock

forced idleness and get sever
ance pay on discharge.
Carl Stellato, president Of
Ford's biggest local at the huge
Rouge plant here. told a worker
mass meeting yesterday after
noon that Ford had bettered this
offer. but he declined to reveal
details. He said a half dozen
union economists were trying to
evaluate the new Ford proposal.
The / offer was reported to
contain a plan forsthe company

where shelter and food centers,

All that is now required in Duck

Evacuation CD Plans" only more
so. And on top of that, we must
have plans for getting people out.
COmplicating the whole issue
further is the fact that all mass
evacuation plans are predicted on
receiving from the Air Force
sufficient advance warning of an
attack. This cannot be guaranteed
/ at present. especial to coastal
cities like Wilmington.
In fact, Duck and Cover" is the
official plan now. The Air Force
maintains that it will be at least
a year or a year and a half before
the radar net, which guards the

prise attack, is modernized to a
point where some advance warning
can be promised.
Even then, there can be mo alb
solute guarantee Of such a warning,
since already there exists radio
device which can block out radar.
This means that it now is possible
for hostile planes to slip through
our defense undetected, unless they
are sighted by ground observers.
Thus, prior to the development Of

be readied Mass evacuation would

Civil Defense Notes
BY COLONEL D. PRESTON LEE
State Director Of Civil Defense

The APPALLING destructive power of
the H-bomb has led to a change of
thinking among top Civil Defense
leaders. They are urging cities to
get out" before a bombing attack.
The Nations CD Chief, Val Peter
son, said as much in his talk last
summer at the state defense forum
in Delaware City. He maintained
that cities are faced with three
grim possibilities: dig, die or get
QUIT" 1t is too expensive, he said,
to dig vast underground shelters;
we do not want to die. so the only
practical course is to get out"
Peterson argued very cOnvincingly
that, regardless of official policy,
people will get out anyway if
threatened by an attack. They are
going to CO." he said; the only
question is are they going to do
it with semblance of order or as a
panic-stricken mob?
. At first glance, this proposal for
an organized, mass evacuation of
cities looks as though it would
make the problem of Civil Defense
much easier. A second and closer
look will dispel that notion. To
| transform within half an hour q
teeming modern city into a ghost
town will be a tremendous under
taking. Indeed. mass evacuation
will require even more planning
an even more involved Organiza'
ton than the old duck and cover
approach.
Consider Wilmington. Even {
test evacuation. covering just par
of the city, would be an Intricate

operation. At a given moment,
every homeOWner and businessman
in the test area would be expected
to close his doors and head for
open country. The resulting traffic
pile-up would make a rush hour"
that would go down in local history
books.
To accomplish an evacuation in
an orderly way, a thousand and
one details must be irOned out
beforehand Long before even a
test can be run. escape routes or
"driveOut" streets must be plotted
for each section of the city. Police
controls must be set up. Provisions
must be made for those who have
no transportation. Perhaps they
will be expected to walk-or take
special buses-Or asked to form
car pools.
All this is just start on the
problem. The city cannot be left
completely deserted Anti-lOoting
squads must be left behind--at
least in a peacetime test-to patrol
the evacuated area. In a real emer-
gency, teams must also be ready
to evacuate hospitals, fire-fighting
equipment, schools and factories.
Topping all this is the problem
in planning a test-Of publicity

of the Delaware Farm Bureau
stated yesterday that, in cooper
alton with Group Hospital Service,
Inc, the Farm Bureau will offer
its active members the opportunity
to enroll in Delaware's Blue Cross
Blue Shield Plan at group rates.
Group rates are lower than in
dividual membership rates and this
action affords Farm Bureau mem
bers an opportunity to obtain the
advantages of Blue Cross and Blue
Shield membership at the lower
group rates.
At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Delaware Farm

"At present 375 members of Farm
Bureau have enrolled their families
in Blue Cross through the Farm
Bureau group. During the 10 day
re-opening of the group we in
tend to call on all eligible members
of Farm Bureau who have not pro-
tected themselves and their fami-
lies with Blue Cross and Blue
Shield and remind them this is
their only opportunity to enroll
this year." Mr.. HOke continued.
Group membership in Blue Cross
and Blue Shield is open for new
enrollments periodically-usuallJ
once each year-for limited time
Richard Reese, enrolment repre-
sentative of Group Hospital Service
who attended the meeting of the

Farm Bureau members that Blue
Cross and Blue Shield benefits were
extended on February 1, 1855. On
of the major changes in benet1t
was increasing the number Of hos
