King, Democrat of Utah, said today that the recent developments in Europe might make it necessary for the United States to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for more military purposes.

Besides Senator Lewis, Senator Hale of Maine has decided to quigat the end of another session. These | things are perhaps of no great mo- | ment to the average American. In his 20 years or more of Senate iservice, Hale probably never made {more than a dozen speeches, each |of which was written out in ad- |vance and delivered in the Senate |in the manner of a New Englander who has set himself a stern, un- | pleasant duty and will perform it, | come what may. The quiet dress and wordless de- | meanor of Senator Hale was offset |in multiple by. Senator Lewis. He had a career as fascinating as his | manner and dress.

During the avar he was on special assignment by the president in Europe, STYLE—PROSE Lewis spoke in the Senate in a manner that often was a tor-| ment to newsmen. If in the course of a speech he ever delivered a sentence of less than 20 words, it has escaped us.

The Chinese said they defeated | through the Tapies mountains on | the north bank of the Yangtze River northwest of Hankow. A Japanese communique said in- vading planes had bombed Liang-| shan in eastern Szechwan Province, destroying nine Chinese planes on the ground, afterwards engaging 20 Chinese planes in an air battle and shooung down seven of them.

Washburn, already three weeks |late to his classes at Harvard Uni- versity, is looking back on a “suc- cessful,” though “the cloudiest” summer he has spent in the North in his eight seasons of climbing and mapping work in Alaska. This summer, Washburn led two | expeditions sponsored by the Har- vard University Institute of Geo- | before-climbed flanks of Mt. St. Agnes and Mt.*Sanford in the Chu~ |the Japanese attempting to P“Sh}gach and Wrangell ranges back of Valdez. During August and September, Washburn took aerial photographs in the Chugach, Wrangell and St. Elias ranges under the joint aus- pices of the National Geographic | Society and the Harvard Institute. Flying was done with Cordova Air Service, Reeve Airways at Valdez and Pollack Flying Service at Fair- | banks. Approximately 2,000 photo- graphs were taken, Washburn said, to enlarge an already extensive col- lection of glacier area photos. On June 19, the ascent of Mt. St. Agnes was accomplished. Its elevation is placed by the U. 8. Geo- logical Survey at 13250 feet, the highest spot in the Chugach Range. On that trip, Washburn was ac- companied by Norman Bright, Peter Gabriel and ‘Norman Dyhrenfurth. Weather for the trip was “extremely ‘pcor” and possibilities for mapping work from the summit were practi- cally nil, Washburn said. Mt. Sanford, 16,200 feet high, was | negotiated by Washburn and Mr. and Mrs. Terris Moore, of Los An- geles. Mrs. Moore, an experienced climber, reached the 14,000-foot level on Mt. Sanford’s heavily cloud- ed slopes, but was unable to con- | tinue to the top. “She'd have made it, I am sure,” Washburn said, “but we were turned back the first time we started for the top itself, and Mrs. Moore and I decided we'd best make the last !nnempt alone on account of abom- | inable snow conditions.” Washburn said clouds below them obscured any successful mapping from the Mt. Sanford peak, and that the climb was about as un- uring the fiscal year that ended la.sl June 30.
