...Sulgrave Club in honor of his own 54th birthday. The Vandenberg guest list of 300 included, as well as two Supreme Court Justices, half-a-dozen Ambassadors and a quorum of top-ranking Republicans, a good handful of anti-Roosevelt Democrats like Montana's Wheeler, Missouri's Clark and Rhode Island's Gerry. Washington political wiseacres promptly concluded that Mr. Vandenberg was launching his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1940 according to the festive precedent established by High Commissioner Paul Vories McNutt's fabulous cocktail party last February...
State. As the master of a solid bloc of faithful votes. Tom Pendergast has long been the No. 1 Democrat of his State. But in 1932 St. Louis' Bennett Champ Clark went to the Senate without his help and Boss Pendergast has since had to sign a working agreement to claim patronage only in the western half of the State.

Two Mazamas, themselves weak, were assigned to support each of them. Then Leader Leuthold broke a climbing rule-that an expedition's leader, like a sea captain, must follow all others out of trouble. He donned skis, tumbled, slid, rolled down to Timberline to fetch the snow tractor. At the lodge he found that the driver was miles away, the key lost...
Meanwhile, Mrs. Clark made the descent safely, but Varney collapsed. Three men lashed him to a pair of skis, tried to drag his body down. As they tugged the bogging load through fresh snow, Varney's arms slowly clinched above his head, stark frozen. In the end, almost frozen themselves, the three men abandoned their clubmate, limped to safety...
