 Second Highest Peak in N. America

JUNEAU, R-One of five Cali fornia and Wilmington State men who just completed a 4O-day ex- petition climbing Mt. Logan re- ported their party reached the peak of the 19,850-foot mountain on July 19.
 Cecil M. Ouellette, 22, Yakima, Wash, said Monday the summit was reached after 22 days of tough climbing lover rock and up steep snow and ice slopes"
 Ouellette said the climbers es- tablished eight camps between the 7,OOO-foot and 17,000foot levels enroute to the first sue cessful assault on the huge noun tain from the east ridge.
 The mountain, the second larg- est in North America, has been climbed three times from the west. The peak is about 50 miles north Of Yakutat
 ''The summit dash from the highest camp was done in good weather" Ouellette said in a let ter to the Associated Press. He said all five members of the party reached the peak at the same time.
 The young mountaineer was ju- bilant at the success he shared with Dave Collins, 28, Seattle; Kermneh Ross, China Lake, Calf; Gil Robert, 23, San Fran cisco, and Don Monk, 26, Dan- vile, Calf.
 He commented: "This is, with out a doubt, the most extensive mountaineering ever accomplished in the St. Elias range, and prob ably the finest climb made this year in North America"
 Oullette and his companions reached Yakutat last Friday en- route to their homes.

THE DETAILS

Stephen A.-Three years ago /
married against my parents
wishes to a girl who is very
spoiled. Elizabeth was an only
child and always got everything
she wanted. She never worked
for anything and she doesn't
understand that you can't have
things just for the asking.
My parents saw all these things
about Elizabeth and told me she
would never want to do house,
work and that sort Of thing.
Sure enough, now we have a baby
and Elizabeth says caring for
the house and baby is too much
for her and she's got to have a
maid.
don't know what to do about
1t all. We are very unhappy but
our religion does not permit di-
vorce. You can't reason with
Elizabeth. My parents wash their
hands of the whole thing and
say I've made my bed and now
I've got to lie in it.
Elizabeth Ats true that my
parents gave me a lot and maybe
spoiled me, but l knew / couldn't
expect those things when I mar
ried Steve. My parents were also
against the marriage. but / was
In love with Steve and felt sure
we could make a go of 1t.
Now Steve keeps throwing UP
ut me how spoiled I am. how
don't do the housework and
what a rotten cook I am. Then
he goes running to his parents
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-28

He doesn't realize this is exactly
what they should do.
Stephen does not appear to
have yet made an adult effort to
cope with his marriage. He has
no right to throw up at his wife
what he knew before the mar
riage-that she had no expert
ence at homemaking and would
be likely to find things difficult.
He could have made it easier by
helping her, encouraging her and
laughing off her mistakes. His
criticism only served to dis
courage her efforts.
Stephen also had no right to
run complaining to his parents
and to insist upon getting adj
vice from them. II he undertook
the responsibility for making his
own decisions, he would probably
come to the conclusion that
there is no great harm in his
wife's getting a hand with the
housework If he can afford It.
His fear of spelling" Elizabeth
is very ill-founded If she makes
an honest effort to make a nice
home and cares for her child
properly.
Elizabeth acknowledges her
shortcomings and appears to be
trying to live up to her re-
sponsibilities. 1t is Stephens
turn to try TO live up to his.

retorted.

II dor.'t want the money" the
seaman said. Then from out of
the fog a man ran up and said
something in German. Dasch
clapped his hand over the mans
mouth and snapped, shut up!"
The youth was thoroughly
alarmed now. He didn't know
how many men were out there
in the fog or what they might
do to him. He had no way to
defend himself from a gang
attack.
Burying The Boxes
Dasch grabbed young Cullen
by the arm and showed a wad
of bills into the Coast Guards
mans hand and stared at him.
Look in my eyes! Look in my
eyes! Would you know me If
you ever saw me again?"
The seaman began backing
away. Il never saw you" he
said. Once out of sight of Dasch,
he turned and ran for his station
to sound the alarm.
Dasch returned to his COM
panions. "It's all right" he said
II fixed everything"

the boxes of equipment in the
sand dunes, then walked inland
Back at the Coast Guard
station, young Cullen aroused

what had happened. He showed
them the money-$260. The five
men armed themselves and went
back to the beach.
At daybreak, they found foot
prints and followed them into
the dunes, where they found the
buried cache of equipment. The
saboteurs had been too excited
to smooth the sand and cover
their tracks.

and his men were sitting on the
platform of the Amagansett sta

by American counterespionage.
Something had to be done to
replace these agents, and also
to cripple the American indus
trial giant by sabotage before it
became too great threat.
The Nazis decided on a bold
gamble: Agents who had once
lived in America. men who knew
the country and its customs well,
would be trained in espionage
and sabotage. Then they would
be slipped into the United States
by submarines with enough
money and sabotage supplies to
last them for two years.
PhOny Life Stories
Eight men who knew America
well entered the Nazi sabotage
school at Quentz Lake. near Ber-
lin, in April, 1912. They were
taught in theory and in practice
how to use explosives, incendi-
aries, detonators and timing de-
vices. They rehearsed phony life
stories as an actor learns his lines
for a play. These life, stories
were documented with false
birth certificates, draft defer
ment cards. social security cards
and automobile drivers licenses.

leader of team No. /. which in

In all, the saboteurs carried a
small fortune of $175,200, most
of it in $50 bills.
Kerling and his men boarded
