He charged into the dressing room and cut loose with a blood-curd- ling yell. "What a ball nine." screamed Burt. ".i'here's simply nothing to it-with that kind of a gang." The Brooklyn manager spoke briefly of the booing that followed his introduction: "I stood out there long enough with my hat in my hand to let them see me and get all the boos out of their system. Those 48,000 out there ought to be ashamed of themselves now."

Scales Mountain After 25 years; "Packs Hiavier" By Murlln B. Spencer CORDOVA, Alaska, July i2 - (AP)-A gray-haired, 60-year-old Bostonian, who was among those making the first ascent of 19.850- foot Mt. Logan 25 years ago. con- quered the peak again June 17- the second time it has been scaled. For Norman H. Read. it was six days short of 26 years since he and five others fought their way to the top of the forbidding mountain. highest in Canada and second by the North America continent. Read and Andre Roch. his com- panion from Davos, Switzerland. returned here after 51 days on ice where there is no animal or bird life. They battled incredible snow- storms that threatened to destroy them. In the face of overwhelming odds. they climbed both of Logan's peaks. The ice-capped mountain rises high just inside the Yukon Ter- ritory to the north of Yakutat. Alaska, between Oordova. and Juneau. on June 2!, . 1925 it was ascended for the first time by six members of a. joint expedition of Canadian and American Alpine Clubs. "Since it was a. quarter of a century slnoe I'd done it before. I wanted to see if I could do it again-if my legs would take it." said Read in an interview aboard a. plane to Juneau. "I found I could, although the packs seemed a lit- tle heavier this tine." Read. Roch and an Alaskan guide. severet Jacobsen of Chitlna, Alaska, made their plans carefully. but everything went wrong. They left oordova May 8 by plane and landed on Olgivie glacier near the mountain. A second plane dropped supplies but. strong winds scattered the food and equipment over an eight-mile area. Wearing only what they had on when they left Cordova, Read and Roch waited 18 days in their little tent at the 7.000-foot base camp for new supplies to be flown in, Manhandled Sleds They started their climb May 26. pulling heavy sleds behind them. "We'd move part of the supplies up a. couple of thousand feet and then have to go back six or seven times for the remainder," Read said. For l2 days they lived above 14.- 000 feet in temperatures of 15 below zero. They had worked their tortuous way to the 17,500 foot level when a three-day storm struck them. Jacobson, who had gone back for supplies. was cut off from the advance base and Read and Roch decided to go on alone. They had carried just four days' supplies to this advance point and all they had to cat was a little soup, raisins and chocolate. They had hoped to find a bag of canned food which had been left at the 18,500-foot elevation 25 years ago. but it had been covered by snow. Early June 11. the two men start ed the final ascent. They piodded 50 yards. then had to rest. piodded another 50 and rested again as they fought for oxygen in the rarlfied air. They finally reached the lower of two peaks. just 50 feet below the highest point. They then went down the other side and climbed the higher pinnacle. Flying to Juneau. Read. a 200- pounder, looked out of the plane window at distant Mount Logan. Then he looked at his finger- tips blackened by frostbite.

The same goes for factory work- era. In the case of agricultural workers, the woman-to-man ratio is 1 to 1. Nine of every to single. and one Of these. nine out- of so are un- skilled workers. 9 work only 450 feet to Mt. McKinley on - four are skilled. we or three do routine clerical and four fill higher clerical. t ' l or professional positions. These and other facts are con- tained in a first report on women prepared by the Economic infor- mation Unit of the Treasury. Mrs. L. 8. Horton of the Econ- omic information Unit told the Canadian Press the report had been issued in response to an increasing demand by women's organizations throughout the country. Wanted Facts More and more women were clamoring for facts and figures on export, productivity. employment, building and all economic factors with direct bearing on home life. Created to explain economic problems in clear and understand- able language. the unit has worked in close co-operation with the women's organizations, providing much lecture material. The report explains the part women play in the earning and saving of doliars.. It shows that women form a main artery of in- dustry, productivity, export and. as a natural cycle. the economy of thenation. ' In reference to dollar exports. and imports, Canada is mentioned on three pages of the foul-9age re- port. Page one says: "The quantity of exports to Canada and the United states has been larger than a year ago. and is still in- creasing.-" The report was well received by the British press. Cixnmcnted A.

The Ontario parted company with the destroyers last Thursday evening and headed back for the west coast naval base. Around dusk, the destroyers steamed by the cruiser. whose fore- castie, gun turrets and bridge deck were massed with the ship's com- pany. As each destroyer passed the bigger vessel, a wave od cheers rolled across the short stretch of water between them. Then the Ontario dropped as- torn and the destroyers stood on for Pearl Harbor. They are due to arrive there Wednesday. PITTSBURGH.
