Task Force Moves Ahead In Atomic Test Maneuvers
By JOE McCLAIN
Lit Vegas, Nov., Rtvitw-Journil
WITH TASK FORCE RAZOR
NEARING NEVADA Ufl An
armored task force column 17
miles long it moving ahead
Wednesday toward its rendezvous
with an atomic test and completion
of one of the longest armored
marches in U.S. tank history.
One of the reasons for thi
three-day desert trek of 133 fhiles
for tanks and armored vehicles
from Camp Irwin Calif., to Camp
Desert Rock, Nev., is to test both
men and quipment on a long dry
march
My oservation, from closeup, Is
that the two men who do the most
work in a Patton 48 tank on a
long cross-country march such as
this are the tank commander and
the driver.
The other two men, the assistant
commander and the gun loader,
have as close to a sinecure as a
GI can get on a march like this
one.
Tank 60, my adopted home for
the long haul, affords this picture:

OpI. Floyd Roerts. Bowline
Green, Ky., spends many hours ol
the clanking, lurching trip curled
up next to the 90 millimeter cannon
breech, reading comic books.
Pfc. William Shaw, Martinsville,
Ind. hunkers down behind the
cannon, playing his harmonica. To
me, standing on the loader's seat
in the turret, Pfc. Shaw's harmon
ica sounds fine. The tank's noise
drowns out all but a few notes.
The busy men are the tank chief,
1st Lt. Charles McCorkle, Buena
Vista, Ga., and Cpl. Edward T.
Wagner; Lucasville, Ohio, driver.

RATE DROP ORDERED
SALEM Ofl Public Utilities
Commissioner Charles H. Heltzcl
gave Pacific Power & Light Co.
permission Wednesday to reduce
its rates.
The reduction, effective next
Friday, amounts to $242,000 i year
in the company's Coos Bay
division, and $60,000 in the Willam
ette Valley.
Heltzel said the reductions are
a result of the company's merger
with Mountain Stales Power Co.
like a taxi driver tooling through
5 o'clock traffic. He eats a lot of
dust churned up by the rock layer.
And after airtnis dust, a utile
fallout from the atomic blast April
26 won't seem so formidable. As
Cpl. Roberts commented, looking
up from his comic book: "Old No
60 will shed that atomic stuff like
a duck sheds water."

his two brothers from his native
Australia and almost immediately
began work in the store.
He was active in store affairs
and visited his office there almost
daily until the time of his death,
although his health had not bean
robust for some thne.
Survivors include the widow, two
sons, W. E. Roberts and R. H.
Roberts, and a daughter, Betty Lou
Roberts.
Funeral services were being
arranged Wednesday.
Encroaching Sea Threatens Town
TOKELAND. Wash. JH -The sea
is trying to reclaim this Willapa
Bay resort community and resi
dents say only President Eisen-
nower can do someming arjoui u.
Faced with the possible loss of
seven million dollars worth of
property as ocean tides nibble
away at the beaches, residents
have asked the President to de
clare an emergency t so they can
obtain federal fundi.
The tides' begin chewing the
beaches in the 1930s, aid since
then thousands of acres hive been
washed to set along with tome 100
beach homes ind t dance hall.
Army Engineers blamed the
dredging of the channel entering
the bay and construction of jetties
at Astoria, Ore., and Westport,
Wash., for the situation. By con
structing jctlies and changing the
channel's course, the town can be
saved, an engineers report said,
but it warns action must be taken
before next winter.
The appeal to the President went
out from the Port Commission and
the Chamber of Commerce, anr;
has the backing of Rep. Hark
(R-Wash.)..
