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.

Bunker; James Thomoson, 75,
ret:--d J" Troo i--. -- ---and
Lyle W. Robertson, 49, 1n
hardware store owner, ,j,h
closer to the jeep.
"We figured we had more
chance of being seen on Cadiz
Dry Lake and we did," Bunker
said. "They tell us we walked
about 5,000 yards."
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."
(Continued from Page One)
saying the United States had not
taken steps which Russia had urg
ed previously to prevent "a repe-
lition of undesirable incidents.
;"Frontitr" Vioation Claimtd
i But it spoke of poor visibility
! and conceded "the possibility of
ja mistake from one side or the
other."
t Landing on an island, the U.S.
i plane burned. Seven of the 11
I crewmen suffered burns or injur
ies .
! The Soviets said Uie airplane
had violated Russia's "state fron
tier." The American government
said Soviet MIGs blasted it in a
(surprise assault over internation
al waters. The State DeDartment
said there was "no possibility of
error" as to the U.S. plane's loca
tion. Molotov also said there was an
"exchange" of gunfire, but the
United States said the U.S. plane
did not fire.
