As Jeep Stalls In Desert Inferno TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. i.fi Murderous heat, drifting sands and shivering nights were a grim memory today for a sur vivor of a desert jeep ride that claimed two lives, "It's the worst thing I've been through in 20 years on the desert," said Chester Bunker, 67, 'ocal real estate promoter. He recalled watching one man walk to his death and another die of exposure on the blistering desert when their jeep broke down on an outing last Wednesday. Bunker, recovering in a hospital here told this story: He and three others set out in the jeep to inspect the Amazon Valley area, which Bunker de scribed as "ripe for development " They carried water but no food for the half-day journey. The jeep sank in drifting sand in Amazon Canyon, about 30 miles east of here, and the differential broke. At nightfall, Calvert Wilson, 49, prominent southern California Democratic politician, set out on foot for the highway about 15 miles away. His sun - blackened body was found by searchers two days later about five miles from the jeep, where he had died of exposure and thirst. 120 D.sr.oi, Na W:.r Bunker; James Thomoson, 75, ret:--d J" Troo i--. -- ---and Lyle W.

Their water ran out the next day. The temperature hit 120 de grees. Bunker and Robertson lay on the desert and covered their heads with their shirts. "But Thompson got away from us and started running in circles," Bunker said. He died a few hours later. Thompson's body and the two survivors prostrate on the shim mering dry lake were spotted about 8:30 that morning by a ci vilian plane. A helicopter rushed Bunker and Robertson to a Need les hospital. They were later trans ferred to Twentynine Palms, which is about 120 miles east of Los Angeles. Both are recovering and Bunker said he has learned one thing: "After so many years on (he desert a fellow gets careless."
