Injured Mountain Climber Is Rescued Helicopter Speeds Climber To Hospital FAIRBANKS, Alaska, (INS)—A helicopter rescued an injured mountain climber early today on the icy slopes* of Alaska's Mt. McKinley. highest peak in North America, and eped him on his way to a Fairbanks hospital. — The rendezvous between the helicopter and a ground party carrying the injured man down the mountain- was made at the 6,000foot level at a place called Muldrow Ridge. Arrangements for the pickup on the glacial slopes were mr-de in radio talks between the ground party and a plane hovering overhead. The injured climber is army private George Argus 25, of Brooklyn, New York. He survived a l.OOOfoot fall 16 days ago but suffered a broken hip and was left in a tent on the mountain-side while his two companions went for help. A fourth man in the original party, George Thayer of Reedsboro, Vt.. was killed in the fall while the party was attempting to scale Mt. McKinley. The other members of the party, Les Viereck and Morton Wood, made their way down the mountain after the fall and sent help to Argus. . The rescue group of eight men found the injured Argus at the 11,-000-foot level Saturday, and put turn on a sled for the pain-wracked downward journey. Dr. John McCall, university of Alaska mountain-climbing expert and head of the rescue party, reported by radio that they expected to reach a glacier below McGonigle Pass this morning and asked that a helicopter be •on the spot to pick up Argus. Radioed reports said Argus was given sedatives to ease the pain of his shattered hip and was unconscious on the slep trip down the mountain. The Brooklyn soldier spent nine days alone on- the barren slopes of Mt. McKinley where his companions left him in the tent w-ith food within reach while they went for help.

McCarthy, when acting chairr man Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) gave faim only two minutes to answer the reference to Hoover, said he couldn't do it in that time and turned his two minutes over to his chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn. , Cohn, temporarily departing from his role as witness under cross • examination, paid strong tribute to Hoover as "the one man above all others whom we worship . . . the leader and spearhead of the fight against Communist infiltration.” McCarthy, stung by the statements of McClellan and Symington, who charged he was in open “defiance of the highest law enforcement officer of the land," attorney general Herbert Brownell Jr., "and of the president of the United States," repeated his invitation to informants to communicate with him under his promise of protection. McClellan insisted that senators are “at the crossroads" on the issue of presidential orders against transmuting secret information from the executive branch to “unauthorized persons," including chairmen of congressional committees. The Arkansas Democrat told McCarthy: “I think the American people are entitled to have this settled—whether you are right or the President is right. You’ve reached the crossroads on this thing and you know it." McClellan added that if McCarthy’s view- prevailed, the nation’s security system would collapse. McCarthy interrupted to shout: "security system of crooks!” McClellan retorted: "I don’t think J. Edgar Hoover la a crook.” During his brief appearance on the stand today, Cohn testified ■ that he ordered an investigation i of Schine’s regimental commander ■ because Schine told him the officer had labeled the McCarthy ■ committee’s Communist probe a "witch hunt" and a “red herring.” Cohn sud he directed his subordinates to start a “run down"

Farm Population Believed Lower * Sharply Decreased In Past Two Years WASHINGTON (INS) — Federal agriculture experts believe the nation's farm population has decreased sharply in the past two years, although a final report on the trend will not be available until mid-sirmmer. Observers wlffiin the government's huge agricultural structure explain that all evidence points to a much sharped drop in farm population during the past two years than during the period between 1950 and 1952. The number of persons on farms in 1950 was million 58 thousand. By 1952, it bad dropped to 24 million 800 thousand. It is possible there are less than 24 million Americans living on farms now. The government’s agricultural specialists have no reports, however, to Indicate any geographic' changes in farm population since 1950. Between 1920 and 1950, the Pacific coast region—including California, Oregon and Washington—was the only one in the nation that showed an increase in farm population — and the overall increase in that area was about 19 percent. California itself, however, registered an increase of more than 26 percent in farm population during the 30-year period. The present trend in declining farm population for the nation as a whole has been in progress since 1947 and there also was a substantial drop during World War 11. Census figures show a decline in farm population during World War I—when rural people headed toward the cities and many farm youths entered service—was followed by a slight Increase. —- But during the 1920’5, when production was booming in the United States, total farm population dropped. There had been more than 32 million Americans on farms in 1910. By 1930, that figure -was cut to 30 and one-half million. The economic depression of the 1930’s reversed tjiis trend, however, and drove many urban people back to farms. By 1934, .farm population had just about hit its pre-World War I level. Improvement of economic conditions in the latter part of the 1930’s once, more saw farm people migrating back to cities. This trend was greatly accelerated with the advent of World W’ar II and its vast expansion of defense work and military service' Following V-J day in September,
