...family breakup, explained Mrs. Steeves. "preceded the whole adventure in the mountains. The whole mess has been going on a long time." But the Post cancellation was a surprise. After a Satevepost writer had interviewed Steeves for three weeks and led him back along his High Sierra trail, the Post's writer found certain "discrepancies" in his story; e.g., his boots seemed to be in remarkably good shape; Steeves at first sturdily showed no knowledge of a small forest fire discovered in the area where he says he camped, later said that he started the fire...
Pickup Alley (Columbia) is a corpse-strewn trail blazed by Trevor Howard, a masterful international dope smuggler, for the guidance of Victor Mature, a dopey sleuth inexplicably praised by his Narcotics Division chief as "the best man we've got." To make himself even easier to follow, Howard drags along with him a red herring called Anita Ekberg.

Where did the money come from? Some said Red China, others said New Delhi, others said from King Mahendra. No one was quite sure where Singh's loyalty lay, but his popularity could not be denied. Watching the tight, close-lipped organization of the 27 men who had followed Singh into China and out again, some observers were sure that there were certainly Communists among them...
...unanimous choice: a standing figure, palette in hand, staring Montana-like into the distance (see cut). The sculptor: John B. Weaver, curator of the Montana Historical Society. Said the judges: "It captures the spirit of Charles M. Russell, and is worthy of representing him to posterity." At last the trail to Washington seemed to be clear...
