High School Youth Tells Of Rescue Mission in Wyoming (EDITOR'S George Reynolds. 17-year-old high school senior, was on blizzard iMcue mission yuierda'y. is his story.) (AP) "Well, we won't die was a feeble attempt at a joke, jut the situation wasn't a joking e. The six of us were crammed inside a medium Array tank made a crew of five.

We didn't whether we would freeze death or smother under drifting snow in the middle the Red Desert in a southwestern Wyoming blizzard. It was 18, be- zero. It was suicide to face that blizzard outside the We were part of a relief expedition of Company, 141st Tank Battalion, Wyoming National ruard, which had left Green River Saturday afternoon. We were on a 72-mile trip to reach Dick Carpenter, sick at a Union Pacific railroad pumping station and '15 miles from help. Our two tanks, Jeep and six- by-six truck made the first 50 miles over TJ.

S. Highway 30 comparatively easy. Then we turned off into the snow wastes of the semi-mountainous desert. I was driving the truck when it stalled in a snowdrift- 'Alfred Bramwell drove the jeep a little farther before it stalled. Alfred and I crowded into 'the tank driven by Bill Kelly.

Sgt' Charles Pope stayed with the truck, hoping to get it started so he could get the sup- plies through. We had gone hardly-two miles into the 'blizzard, which was steadily growing worse, when the motor quit. We couldn't see a thing the snow. The other tank had. gone on ahead.

We didn't dare raise the hatch. We huddled under a few blankets. All the supplies were' in the other tank: That's when someone said, "Well, we won't die alone." AH the time Kelly, an auto mechanic and an Air Force veteran, was tinkering with the motor. He found out that the generator belt was broken. He finally got the motor started.

We turned back to get Pope in the truck. Kelly rode with the hatch open because ice crusted over the pericope- Ice formed on his face around his goggles. Pope got into the.crowded tank and we headed for Bitter Creek, seven miles away. Those seven miies were the longest I have ever seen- Three hours later we got there. The people at Creek treated us for frosted faces, ears and feet.

Woolen caps 'and heavy overshoes didn't give enough protection. Old timers told us it would be suicide to try to make the next 15 miles to Carpenter that night, so we spent Saturday night there. We lelt the riext Bioming, taking along two men to relieve Carpenter. We found the house partly buri- ed in snow three hours later; Carpenter was propped up in bed. He had been able to crawl? out to keep a fire going.

I understand he has some kind of infection or inflammation in his head. We took him hospital in Rock Springs in the We left two rncn, Carpenter's replacements, snowshoes.

Believe Russia Is About To Take Over Eastern Neighbors WASHINGTON, Feb. Eastern European assaults on churchmen have stirred, American suspicions that'Moscow may be' getting ready 'to discard the "peoples democracy" system in Soviet' satellites. They. also have revived- the idea that Russia, is moving toward absorbing the Soviet bloc stairs into, sn; expanded Soviet Union. Top authorities on relations with the Communist world said today the appears these although it.

is too 'be. sure either will come about. Officials are Uually unanimous, -however, on one point: under pressure from Moscow the process of shaping the satellites into' the.Soviet mold has now been speeded Op. Cite Cliapin's Case Authorities, read this meaning into Hungary's of: Cardinal Miriszenty and defiance of American, displeasure, the indictment of .15. churchmen in Bulgaria, and the current purges in Poland and Czechoslovakia.

A by-product of the Mindszenty trial was the case of Selden Chapin, U. S. minister to Hungary. Hungary charged, that Chapin was the Cardinal in his alleged offenses, and asked the diplomat's removal. The U.

disputing this, called Chapin home "for consultation." The U. S. expelled a Hungarian legation aide in're- taliation for the forcing out of two U. S. representatives from Budapest.

The Mindszenty case, the.Bul- garian, Polish and pzechoslovak- iuri developments ail are taken here to support the conclusion that the Soviet bloc is determined to crush tfie last remaining opposition quickly so as to present a solid front against the Western world.
