rl = sf : el 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.

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.

(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.

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.

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 vigorously, firmly and aggressiv- | Be Blutfed Is Dick Nixon's View that we can eettle our differences without war and therefore de serves the approval of the Amer- ica people.” f be “naive and wishful thinking that the visit of Khrushchev to the United States will result in any basic changes in the Com- munist objective of world domin- ation or their adherence to poli- cies designed to achieve that goal.” James Green Is PC Leader ST.
