Everest, Victor Over Swiss Climbers, Might Be Topped LONDON UP British moun tain climbers think they will conquer the lowering, wind swept heights of iMt.

Everest that de feated Swiss climbers in 1952. The British have been studying detailed reports of the Swiss ex pedition and they think they know why the Alpine crew failed to scale the world's highest peak. The Swiss climbers, who came within several hundred feet "of reaching the height. made available to the British all physical experience they gained in their gallant assault. The British expedition, led by Col.

John Hunt, has been holding small mountain workouts in Brit-ian. They will leave for the Himalayas early in February and spend some time getting used to the extreme altitudes. Then, camps will be set up at 21,000 feet and in March or April the grand attempt will be made. In addition to Swiss know-how, the 11-man team will be relying on special new oxygen equipment of light construction. While the team is counting on success, it's taking no chances.

The expedition will drop off experimental equipment along the way to be used by subsequent expeditions if this one should fall. Rye first was grown as a field crop in America in New England in 1648.
