Sir John Hunt, who led the Brit- ish ascent of the world's highest mountain in 1963. commented: "I think there II some truth in the story." The Warsaw newspaper Szandsr Mludych carried the report about the Soviet expedition. saying it was under direct orders from Stalin. A Polish climber named Paw- low ski wasquoted as saying the ' Soviet mission was to plant the "'ilag of peace" on top of Ever- ui as a dramatic gesture in Stalin's peace offensive at that illiic. The Soviet expedition reached 25.400 feet, within 2,600 feet of the top of Everest. in December. 1932, the Russians radioed that ihm hoped to scale the peak uulnn two d..ys. That was the Iiini heard from them. Presum- .hiy the expedition was wiped out hy an avalanche, by the paper's gccnuni.

Parents Get Hot Over Mixing Races In The Schools By GEORGE CORNELL NEW YORK lAPi--Tension is running high in some quarters to- day about a broad-scale program to spur the mingling of races in New York City's mammoth public school system. Some parent and civic groups are raising fiery protests. Others are fervently deiending the plan. Oificiais are on the jump explain- ing. mollifying and assuring that there's nothing to be alarmed about. "The movement has stirred ex- tremists on both sides." said Dr. William Jansen. superintendent of schools. "People have to see their way clcnr between extremists." The friction arose overa pro- gram drawn up by a civic com- mittee and adopted by the board of education recently to get more "racial balance" in schools. The program calls for rezoning. "slee- tive use of bus transportation" and ' ' new buildings in "fringe" areas. . FOR AND AGAINST ' Many of the largest parent groups. including the big United Parents Association. are firmly be hind the new program. Some de- nounc it as "n frankenstein." Actually. the clash has not been 0i'0I' the principle of integration liiself-but over the methods for extending it in this metropolis of one - color residential concentra- tions. Much of the dispute about the program has resolved around five words: ”Selective use of bus tran- sportation." Opponents claim this implies wholesale movement of child- ren. Negroes to white areas and whites to Negro areas. Offi- cials say no such thing is contem- plated. Only elementary school chil- dren living beyond maximum dist- ances from their schools. get bus transportation. About so.ooo now ride school buses. Junior and sen- ior high schools pupils walk or use public transit-any distance. SUFFER DRAWBACKS The school administration view is that children. white or Ne- gro. suffer drawbacks in schools of a single complexion. that they have no chance to get to under- stand other races. and are less adjusted to the real world. Most of the opposition to the school integration program has come from the borough of Queens, with its high proportion of individ- ual home owners. Queens also is a bastion of the city's upper mid- dle class, about 88 per cent white. Payment For A Bride May Take Many Varied Forms By CAROLYN WILLET Canadian Press Staff Writer NEW YORK ICP)-Three cows and a bull. 40 hoes or a postal nrder for cash serve as "pay- -ments" for brides in some parts of the world. Payment of the bride-price in cattle. goods. seridces or cash on behalf'of a bridegroom to the par- ents of the bride still is a wide- spread practice in Africa and in some parts of India. Malaya, New Guinea and the states around the Fenian gulf. But inflation. profiteering and other abuses are creeping into the centuries-old marriage cus- tom, states a report on bride- price compiled by the United Na- tions' secretary-Benerai for the UN's commission on the status of women. The custom has long concerned the iii-member commission which recently held a three-week ses- sion here. Canada, not yet a com- mission member. has applied for representation on the all-woman UN group next year. ESTABLISHED CUSTOM J The commission. established under the economic and social council in IMO. works to bring fundamental rights to women in all parts of the world. But the sublet of bride-price is complex. . It shouldn't be interpreted as "necessarily implying a mercen- ary element oi purchase and Window To late James Dunn is Dedicated SAULT RTE. MARIE. Ont. Royal Bank of Canada. filled St. Lnhs's Anglican Cathedral Satur- day night for the dedication of a . jails?! lisiiiits sale," the secretary-general's re- port stated. I Bride-price traditionally estab- lishes the legality of marriage . It links whole family groupsl and establishes kinsiiips because payments are negotiated by fam- iiies and not usually by individ- uals. y Yet modern influences-.':-'tic- ularly cash economy - have raised bride-price payments in some areas. "The profit motive is becoming more important. . . and many of the traditional considerations of suitability are ignored." the re- port stated. HART BAIIGAINING studies of the custom in some African districts indicated that pagentf greed. kiillllblndf lvanlteg an women's pr e re egat bride-price to a meimd of bar-i gaining and speculation with "ex- orbitant" rates. htost administrations seemed re uciant to tamper with the cus- lorn. No measure: to abolish bride-price had been taken. And some missionaries who once condemned the practice had decided that bride-price served as important function and could he more usefully retained and adapted than abolished. The report said soma areas wanted changes in the custom controlled rates ti bride - price payment and. in some instances. assurance that bride - price wouldn't interfere with a woman's consent to marriage and her free- dom afterwards.
