By Sanky Trimble SANTA FE, N. M. (AP) A fellow who is on speaking terms with mountains has played beck with maps of New Mexico. ' ' Because of his insistence, the De partment of Interior's Geological Survey has admitted that what used to, be considered the highest peak iff the state isn't the highest peak at all. And what's more, a mountain formerly not even in the running now has become New Mexico's loftiest. Harold D. Walter, assistant purchasing agent for the state and the man responsible for all the fuss, started fooling around with New Mexico mountains in 1933 as a photography hobby. He climbed, rode horseback and slid all over the three Truchas Peaks north of Santa Fe, plus others, and took pictures from every angle. On one such trip, a borrowed altimeter indicated to him that the three peaks were not 100 Pel.

The division engineer wrote: Conclusion Accepted -M 'I feel that it would be Kite to make the statement that the elevation of South Truchas does not exceed 13,110 feet, leaving Wheeler Peak as the highest Beak in the State of New Mexico." Robert O. Davis, Rocky MouKj tain division engineer for tne U.S.G.S., cautioned, however, that "it is somewhat risky to say that an elevation is exactly so and SO until numerous determination! have been made.". He added hi! office hopes to make soon a "com plete topographic survey" of the area to iron the whole thing out properly. .'' Changes Mountains ..
