At Shanghai
Tokyo, Apr. 5.
| Milton Reynolds arrived here late last night on an unauthorised flight from Shanghai, saying he 'mada a melodramatic escape by flinging gifts of ballpoint pens at gun-brandishing Chinese guards.
The Chicago millionaire declared he fled to escape a "financial shakedown" and that his unlucky quest for the world's highest mountain already had cost him US$250,000. Reynolds reported he got into his impounded exploration plane with his crew of three by pro- mising the Chinese guards some of the pens which made him a fortune.
"They eagerly followed me. I got in and threw aut the pens- 50 of them--and slammed the door," he said.
