Anders Bolinder, 29, Swedish al- pinist and leader of a Swedish- talian expedition to the South American Andes in 1952, told the Stockholm newspaper Svenska Darbladet the Russians made a well-planned attempt in the fall of 1952 to beat the British climbers to the peak, situated on the Tibet- Nepal border. : Last May a British party headed by Col. John Hunt made the first successful ascent to the top of Ev- erest. Two members of Hunt's party who actualy reached the peak were Edmund Hillary, New aland beekeeper, and Tenzing, Nepalese guide. Bolinder said the story of the un- successful Russian climb leaked through the Iron Curtain when two of the party's Tibetan Jvides, Os- inin and Batisong, fled over the Himalaya mountains and reported to authorities in Katmandu, Ne- pal's capital.

KING LONDON (AP) -- Santa Claus found himself a key issue today in Britain's biggest strike threat since the general strike of 1926. The immediate issue is whether the railway men are entitled to a pay raise, but an important factor the old man with the whiskers. The National Union of Railway- men has called on its 400,000 mem- bers to strike next Sunday mid- night. . A strike on the state-owned rail- ways would paralyze this nation of close to 50,000,000 persons look- ing forward to their gayest Christ- mas holiday since before the war --with plenty of food and drink and unrationed things to buy. "Railway scrooges," shouted The People, Labor party Sunday news- paper, in a front-page headline denouncing union leaders. "You'd almost think the leaders of the NUR had no children of their own and never believed in Santa Claus." DEMANDS CABINET ACT The Sunday Pictorial cried out in big black headlines: 'Cabinet Must Stop Christmas Rail Strike." Interjection of Santa Claus into the dispute brought this sharp re- port from an R organizer at a meeting of union members: "You are not to feel ashamed of yourselves when people say of the strike you are spoiling the kiddies' Christmas. There will be little or no Christmas festivities in the homes of railway men on the wages they are getting." e chairman of the British RAILWAY [| (Continued on Page 2) Lindsay Strike Is Over; Homes Warm Once More LINDSAY (CP)--The lights went on in 50 homes and a restaurant in this Peterborough district town early today, shortly after a strike of 13 hydro linemen ended: Power was off in the homes and Barney O'Neill's restaurant for more than 30 hours after a trans- former fuse blew out Saturday night. Mr. O'Neill said he planned to sue the town for loss of business and spoiled food. UNION RECOGNIZED The linemen, members of the Na- tional Union of Public Service Em- ployees (Ind.), were granted their sole aim in the strike--union Tocop- nition--in a meeting with the Lind- say hydro commission early to- day. They struck a week ago. A lineman climbed a pole and replaced the blown fuse in the transformer, resto power to the blacked-out area less than 10 minutes after the strike ended. One hundred strikers and sym- patiisers gathered around the pole the heart of the town Saturday night to stop non-strikers from re- placing the blown fuse. TRUCK TURNED AWAY A hydro truck drove up to re- place it but soon left. There was no violence. Meanwhile hydro officials held continuous talks with the union through the week-end. Residents of some of the 50 homes in the town 20 miles east of Peterborough moved in with neighbors when their oil burners wouldn't operate without elec- tricity. Many of them picketed the pole with the strikers.
