Seven Youths Die In Canada In Snow Slide American Youths Are Victims Os Canadian Tragedy BANFF, Alta. (INS) —The death of seven American boys high on the avalanche scarred slopes of Mount Temple was described today by two young mountain climbers who escaped when a rope linking them to the victims snapped under tons of snow. The two, unharmed in the roaring snow slide that caused the worst tragedy in the history of the Canadian Rockies, were rearguards on the 11 member party trapped while maneuvering down the side of the treacherous 11,635 foot mountain northwest of Banff. Two of the nine boys caught in the avalanche late Monday escaped with head injuries, but the others were either killed outright or died of shock and exposure. The Royal Canadian mounted police, who reported the tragedy Tuesday after rescue teams reached the scene, identified the dead youths as: Richard and James Balis, 13, twins; William Watts, 16; William Wise. 15; David Chapin. 15; Miles Marble, 12. all of Philadelphia, and Luther Seddon, 13, of St. Louis. AU were members of the Wilderness club of Philadelphia. Tony Woodfield, 16, and Peter Smith, 13, were the boys who escaped unharmed. Fred Ballard, 13, and Jerry Clattenburg, 14, suffered injuries, shock and exposure and were taken to the Hot Springs hospital at Banff. Woodfield and Smith told authorities the 11 boys climbed to 16,000 feet and decided to return after noticing several slides in the area. The boys tied themselves together with a 50 foot manila rope described as “about the thickness of a clothesline.” They were spaced at intervals of five feet, a move I veteran climbers terrefl ’’disastrous. They had worked back down to the 9,560 foot level when Woodfield, bringing up the rear, spotted the avalanche breaking above their heads. He slapped his ice axe in the snow and braced his feet just as it struck. Smith, second to the last, was caught by the rope as it broke and burled to the edge of the seeing snow. He was the youth who scrambled down from the. slide area to the supply camp at the 3,000 foot elevation to get help. W. H. Oeser of Philadelphia, one of the camp’s two adult leaders, climbed to the scene of the slide and found that some of the young victims had been hurled up to 300 by the cascading snow. Others at the supply camp summoned rescuers from the base camp at Moradne Lake, where the party’s other camp leader, O. D. Dickenson of Philadelphia, had remained. All the boys in the climbing party were part of a group of some 3f) youngsters who reached

the base of scenic Mount Temple Sunday. Banff park superintendent B. I. M. Strong, who directed search and rescue operations, said the 11 youths had elected to climb higher, leaving Oeser and 13 young mountaineers at their supply campShrong said no one reported to the park staff that ths boys were trying to scale "this slope.” Mount Temple is 32 miles northwest of~the tamed Idxury Canadian Rocky Mountain resort at Banff. In July 1954 it claimed four other lives when three Mexican women and a male guide plunged 2,000 feet after one slipped on a snow clad slope and dragged the others to their deaths.

More Os Polio Vaccine Shots Are Released 720,000 Shots Are Cleared By Federal Government Tuesday INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — An air shipment of 299,700 shots of Salk polio vaccine was scheduled to leave Indianapolis for Austin, Texas at noon today. The shipment from Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis pharmaceutical house, was the first to be made from a total of 720,000 shots cleared late Tuesday by the federal government for use in the battle against the crippling disease. Health officers of other states waited to learn if they would receive any of the remaining 420,300 shots, for which shipping orders have not yet been received. The entire 720,000 shots, or cubic centimeters, released late Tuesday by the U. S. public health service is to go toward completion of the long stalled National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis program. That program sought to inoculate all first and second grade school children in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii with two shots of the vaccine, and also to give booster shots to children who received the vaccine during field trials in 1954, and to give the vaccine free to others who aided in the trials. The newly released supply represents only 12 per cent of what the NFIP has said is needed to complete the program, which began so brightly last April then bogged down in a combination of events and political Inertia. (Faith in the new vaccine, brought to the stage of mass usability by Dr. Jonas Salk, has remained strong despite the hiatus. The event which brought a halt to the vaccination program was discovery that some live virus apparently was in one or two production lots shipped by one laboratory. (Cutter Laboratories, Berkley, Calif.) Then followed many long parleys out of which emerged an announcement by Dr. Leonard Scheele, suggeon general of the United States, that new testing standards had been set. A Lilly spokesman said that the 720,000 ccs released late Tuesday, like the 1,050,000 ccs which were the first to be released after the new standards were announced, all had been retested under the revised standards. ' He explained that Eli Lilly had already adopted most of the extra tests decided upon prior to the Washington conferences last May, so was able to qualify quickly. For Lilly, the total released under the new standards, now stands at 1,770,000 shots. Meanwhile, an interesting report was released covering the sharp downward shift in polio oases in the 13 southern states which got Salk vaccine from Lilly, RUSSIA CALLS (Continued from Page One) tralized vacuum between their border and the Communist bloc. Neither do they want a flermany free to rearm without the limitations imposed by NATO. There is a general feeling that Germany can be unified only through pn overall European agreement which would include some kind of balancing of forces between east and west. TEXAS WOMAN (Continued from Page One) reacted when informed that Mrs. Hobby was leaving the cabinet. Mr. Eisenhower said: "His eyes popped open and he said: ‘What! The best man in the cabinet’!” The Chief Executive then emphasized that he agreed wholeheartedly With Humphrey’s description of Mrs. Hobby.

Atomic Peace Ship Plea By Eisenhower Warns Russia May Be Stealing Idea WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower warned today that if congress keeps blocking his atomic “peace ship” plan, Russia may beat the U.S. to it He promptly got new reaction on capitol hill. Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R N.Y.), who recently helped torpedo the President’s A ship project, reversed his stand and introduced a bill to build a nuclear powered vessel named the S. S. “Atomic Enterprise.” This came after Mr. Eisenhower at bis weekly meeting with GOP legislative leaders renewed his plea for the atomic ship and stressed the possibility that the Soviets may be planning to steal his idea. House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., Mass., told newsmen after the White House session: "We don’t want the Russians to be parading one ahead of ours. We want to keep ahead of the procession.” Plan Committee To Cut Power Os JP's Out Os State Lawyers Will Be Appointed INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A committee of five out-state attorneys will be chosen soon to prepare er~ol the state’s 505 justices of the peace. Indiana state bar association president William S. Isham and speaker of the house George S. Diener announced intentions to gather a committee of five outstate attorneys to act in the matter. The issue was brought to a head by the involvement of one JP law officer in a slugging; issuance of a worthless warrant by a JP for arrest of a person who had already paid the fine, and jailing for debt by another JP. Ultimate aims of the committee of five will be the: 1. Limitations of JP’s powers. 2. Specific definition of JP's powers and area of jurisdiction. 3. A requirement of legal training for JPs. 4. Abolition of the fee system. - ■ - - ■--- ■ ' ■
