FRANCONIA, N.H. (AP)—The

bodies of two Connecticut youths;

Were rought from the face of a 1,000-foot White Mountains cliff which they tried to climb Sunday.

Partial sunshine and mild tem-

¢limbing team in Tuesday’s grim mission, came a day too late to save the young men’s lives.

Marooned on a ledge halfway ap the cliff—lashed by gales, and @ear-freezing rain—they died of exposure late Monday just as ex- hausted rescuers reached them. The dead youths are Alfred Whipple, Jr., 20, of Gales Ferry, Conn., and Sidmey Crough, 21, of Ledyard, Conn.

The drama was enacted almost within the shadow of the great stone face of “The Old Man of the Mountains.”

The rescue teams used 700 feet ef rope and countless pitons @riven into the face of the cliff, to ensure safe climbing and de- - scent:

Kt was along this rope - strand fixed to the cliffs face that a gix-man team ascended Tuesday to bring down the bodies.

| OTTAWA (OP}-— Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker said Tuesday he hopes a decision about the gov- ernment’s works program for the coming winter will be made by Sept. 1. Speaking to reporters on his re- turn by air from a western trip, he also reiterated his statement that the government is not fol- lowing any policy of tight money.

-He was asked what the differ- ence ‘is between the existing money situation—with chartered bank loans sharply rationed and the Bank of Canada interest rate at a record height—and the situa- tion that existed about three years ago under the former Lib eral government.

Mr. Diefenbaker replied “there thas been no freezing of the money supply” at this time. But three years ago the Bank of Canada— “apparently with the knowledge and certainly with the connivance of the Liberal government”’—was following a policy of restraining chartered bank lending.

The prime minister didn't elab- orate on the point.

He also repeated his statement made in western speeches that the government is looking to the chartered banks to administer their lending policies in such a | way that the needs of the borrow- |ers, especially the smaller ones, ; will be met.

CHECK POLICY?

He was asked what he mieant by this statement. Was he going to keep a close check on the lend- ing policy now followed by the banks? ;

He made neo dirvet reply. say- jing only that he would be inter- | ested in seeing what develops. He |said the present money situation is purely the result of a ‘‘spec- tacular” development going on in Canada again. He had seen signs of-thig everywhere he went in the west.

MONTREAL (CP)—The Romana Catholic school commission Tues- day night announced postpone- ment of school opening by one week because of Montreal's polio outbreak. .

The Protestant school board said there would be no change in|

being. It might reconsider at a later date.

The Catholic schools were to open Sept. 2. Now they are te open Sept. 9.

The boards met with heaith of- ficials earlier Tuesday.

Some 200,000 schoolchildren are affected by the decisions of the two boards.

City health officials said 39 new cases of polio were admitted to hospitals in the last 2 hours, bringing the total for Montreal ~ 4 surrounding areas to 483 sp ar.

Officials said most of the vie- tims had not yet been inoculated with Salk anti-polio vaccine.

Dr. Adelard Groulx. city health director, said Tuesday that the peak im the polio epidemic “seems definitely past.” But health offi- cers said they would have to wait for another week before knowing the polio rate was easing down- ward after a summer-ong in- crease.

Dr. Groulx said young bables given their first Salk vaccine be-| fore they were six months old should get a fourth inoculation.

Fifty In Nfld.

ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (CP)—Two new cases of polio were admitted to the fever hospital Tuesday bringing Newfoundiand’s 1959 to- tal to 50.

The latest patients were a four- year-old boy from Corner Brook and a young lad from Salmon Cove, Carbonear.

The outbreak is the province's worst since 1952 when 232 cases were reported. Three children have died so far this year.

Chief medical official Dr. A. McDermott said he believed , this year’s outbreak would have been as bad as the one in 1952 if it had not been for the Salk anti- polio vaccine.

Figures on the number of peo- ple who have received at least one of the three shots, especially since the polio scare began early in June, were not immediately available.

Hands Qi Protectorates Chinese Reds Are Warned

By WATSON SIMS |

NEW DELHI (AP) — Prime) Minister Nehru Tuesday warned Communist China that India cer- tainly will defend the Himalayan | protectorates of Bhutan and Sik-

«jm against any invasion.

“And his government is fully alive to its responsibility. for the preservation of the security of In- dia, Nehru told Parliament.

He spoke against a background of worsening relations between | Peiping and New. Delhi, strained since Chinese troops crushed an uprising in Tibet last spring.

Parliament members questioned Nehru about growing fears in Bhutan and Sikkim that Peiping is massing troops to claim both for China.

“Any infringement of their bor- fer will be infringement of our | @ndertaking ‘to protect them)

and we shall certainly defend!

them against such intrusion,” Nehru replied.

INDIA PROTECTS BOTH

Bhutan and Sikkim adjoin each other. India’s northeast frontier area is on the east and Nepal on the west. India took over their protection after gaining independ- ence from Britain, their previous guardian.

Bhutan has 700,000 persons. Sikkim has 140,000.

Bhutan's prime minister, Jigme Dorji, will be coming to New Delhi in a few days and “we will be meeting,”’ Nehru said.

Dorji said in Caloutta Monday that Red China has blocked Bhu- tanians’ traditional trade with Tibet_and forced them to turn to India.

“If they try to take over Bhutan,” he said, “we will stand and fight. But whe has the

strength, in this area, to oppose the Chinese? We do not know who would help us.” SMALL FORCES

Armed forces of all the border states and of India, which has tried to stay on the fence in East-West quarrels, are insignifi- cant in comparison with the Chi- nese Red Army, estimated by Western authorities at 3,000,000.

In recent months Nehru has protested against inclusion of some Indian territory in Com- munist maps of China, also against alleged Chinese violations of trade agréements with Tibet. He says the Chinese refuse to let many persons of Indian origin re- turn from Tibet. —

lke Not To

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Vice- President Richard Nixon told the free world Tuesday there should be no concern that its interests will be compromised during Pre- mier Khrushchev’s Visit to the United States next month. ;

Addressing the American Le gion’s national convention, Nixon said that President Eisenhower would not be ‘taken in or bluffed” by the Soviet premier.

Nixon spoke to a Legion wait- ing to act on resolutions con- demning Kbrushchev's visit. Last year the Legion passed a resolu- t:on opposing visits to the United States by Communist leaders.

‘There is no doubt whatever that the interests of the United ‘States and the free world will be

ely represented by the president in this meeting,”” Nixon said.

REJECTED CONCEPT

“We reject the concept that two great powers—the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.—should decide the fate of other peoples without consul- tations with them.”

“While understanding alone will not bring peace, misunderstand-

ings cou'd provoke war,” Nixon said, adding: “And because his visit can

serve to reduce the possibilities of such misunderstandng, it would .contribute to the chance
