It is marked: "Camp Com fort 27 miles." You will leave the black-top 6.4 miles up the river, and enter National Forest land a mile beyond. Keep the South Ump qua River to your right as you pro ceed up this drainage. Five miles beyond the forest boundary you will see the Dumont Creek Campground and two miles beyond this, the Boulder Creek Campground. Just beyond the Boul der Creek Campground (0.4 miles) there is a sign marking Campbell Falls Viewpoint. These falls com memorate a forest worker killed early in World War II. Salmon Can Be Seen The South Umpqua Falls and 'ft s &W t4M 0p I Pa4 ft? 1 aHt Ml THE ROSEBURG-TILLER outo trip through the Umpqua National Forest affords spectacular . views of timbered mountoins and cascading streams. Photo above shows a small waterfall on; the upper reaches of the South Umpqua River. Campground are 20.2 miles up the river from Tiller. A fish ladder here permits salmon to make their way around the falls to the spawn ing beds beyond. Nine-tenths of a mile beyond the falls there is a deep hole where a number of salm on can be seen spending the sum mer while awaiting the fall spawn ing season. Six miles upstream from t h e falls you will find Camp Comfort There are camping and picnicking facilities, in addition to the guard station where a small fire-fighting crew spends the summer. The road leaves the river at this point and commences climbing to ward French Junction. This im portant road junction was the goal of Forest Service personnel for many years as they sought to im prove access throughout the for est. It serves as an important link between the North and South Umpqua drainages. A third road now comes in to permit easy ac cess to Little River as well. The junction itself is 12.4 miles up the ridge from Camp Comfort. Travel Ridge Road At the junction, proceed straight ahead on the Rhododendron Ridge Road. Flowers along this ridge are gorgeous in the spring and some are blooming well into July. Be sure to take advantage of the su perb view of snow-capped Mt. Bail ey and Mt. Thielsen as you go over this stretch of road which termi nates at the Copeland Creek-Big Camas junction 7.7 miles beyond. You are 57 miles from Roseburg at this point. Turn left and drive the 7.3 miles down the ridge to the North Umpqua Highway and black top pavement once more. Five campgrounds await your pleasure between this junction and the National Forest boundary 21.2 miles downriver. The boundary is 40.9 miles from the coiner of NE Stephens St. and NE Diamond Lake Blvd. in Rose burg. This trip, of course, can be made in either direction from Rose burg. It was described from the Tiller end simply . because the roads were checked from there. ' TRAVEL TOUR NO, 2 takes the motorist on a scenic excursion through Douglas Coun ty's vast timberland. This trip, as map llustrates, makes the Tiller-Roseburg loop via Quartz Mountain.

The arbitrators will take up the two main issues on the dispute ! firemen and train crew makeup. - Under legislation approved by Congress Thursday, three neu trals will join two representatives apiece from the unions and the railroads to write the decision. Wirti Schedules Meeting Wirtz asked both sides tp meet on Sept. 6. The rail unions have not announced their representa tives as yet. The railroads named J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator dur ing the past bargaining, and Guy Knight, a vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad and for mer chairman of the Eastern Carriers Conference. In case union and management, as is expected, cannot agree on the neutral arbitrators, the law provides that they will be named by President Kennedy. Wirtz was said to be consider ing the names of several well known figures for the chairman ship of the seven-man board, but no decision was reached on its make up in case the President must step into the deadlock. Under the law, the arbitrators will decide the question of dis placing firemen on freight and yard diesel locomotives and the reduction of train crew sizes, both of which were requested by management. By MYRON FEINSILBER SHEPPTON, Pa. (UPI) A television camera lowered in search of miner Louis Bova, trap ped for 16 days, recorded early today "what looked like the en tire body of a man," according to H. Beecher Charmbury, state secretary of mines. The camera, Charmbury said, was lowered into the escape hole through which David Fellin and Henry Throne were dramatically rescued early Tuesday. The Aug. 18 cave-in which im prisoned ail three miners had trapped Bova separately from the other two, and they said they had not heard from him since Aug. 20 but Charmbury said it was possible Bova had come into the chamber since Fellin and Throne were rescued. The camera, according to Charmbury, recorded what "look ed like the entire body of a man a miner s hat, head, shoulders, arms, legs and boots." The form, he said, appeared to be in a sit ting position against a wooden post. However,. Charmburg empha sized that the findings of the camera were not conclusive. "It appears to be a man's body," he said. "We are by no means sure of this." ...... He said further pictures were being taken and that a volunteer might be lowered into the hole today. Whether to send one of mora than 20 volunteers down was to depend on the hazards involved and the scrutiny of pictures. Originally it had been planned to take pictures down .another hole, 22 Inches wide, reamed down Thursday to the presumed loca tion of the 52-year'old Bova. "There's a man down there." Thus did 21-ycar-old William Un ger, one of the volunteers, ex plain his willingness to go down after Bova. Unger said he did not know Bova, but "that doesn't make any difference not to me, it doesn't." Unger, a slender six-footer who weighs a wiry 150 pounds, quit high school to go into the mines at age 15. Of his young wife Marie, mother of his baby daugh ter, Unger says that his volun teering is "okay with her... "Sure she's worried, but she al ways worries when I'm in the mines."

He said his only worries on going down would be gas and black damp a lethal combination of coal dust and car bon monoxide. A 3-inch-wide drill probe to Bo va 's presumed location has been has not yet been finished. Controversy continued Thursday over a contention by David Fel lin, who was dramatically rescued with Henry Throne early Tues day, that they should have been brought out after 5 instead of 15 days.

Slaying Of Young Career Girls Was Crime That Shocked A City Fellin, a co-owner of the mine, had told newsmen- that rescuers should have dug through the old mine shaft, instead of drilling new probes to the two . men. Officials Take Issue The three leaders of the res cue effort took immediate issue with Fellin's statement. Gordon Smith, deputy state director of mines, said it was partly Fellin's fault that the mine caved in. "The miners in this ooeration were removing pillars of coal," Smith said. "Fellin showed he doesn't know all there is to know about mining by getting himself in this predicament." . . The mine, abandoned in 1929. had been worked again sporadical-1 ly since 1950. Smith said Fellin was "taking out .coal pillars left all those years" , to support the' mine. ' Resent Criticism Clyde Machamer, president of the Independent Miners Associa tion (IMA), said rescue workers who had risked their lives to save Fellin resented his criticism of the rescue. "The man should have been en tirely grateful," Machamer said. "I don't understand it neither do I care much. The important thing is that these men are up. Now we hope for a third miracle to bring up Bova. "Certainly there is deep resent ment among the workers who worked so hard to effect1 the re covery of the collapse '. . . You have to explain to them that these men (Fellin and Throne) are under duress and don't know the condition of the shaft." Dr. H. Beecher Charmbury, state secretary of mines, said Fellin's statement had depressed morale among the rescue work ers, and confirmed that some vol unteers had left the site. But Eugene J. Gibbons, partner with Fellin in developing the mine, said he thought Fellin had "been subjected to interviews and made statements without having all the facts and in a tired, weak ened condition." Gibbons added, "I have not been permitted to see him to tell him of the stupendous effort made to save him ... 1 think I am better qualified to speak for the partnership-A. . and I repeat my words of praise for all who helped in the rescue effort." - By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) They come by the thousands each year to New York. They arrive just out of high school or college, young, eager, and hopeful of what the big city possesses, glamour, ca reer, excitement, challenge. They add up to twos and threes to afford a neat apartment in a nice neighborhood in those first months in big, frightening; com petitive New York. They take jobs as secretaries, receptionists, mod els, researchers marking time as they pursue a special design. These thousands are the young career girls who in most in stances are swallowed into the anonymity that the city of eight million persons prescribes except for the rare few. Then, these blaze forth in a few years as bus iness executives, as designers, as names in lights on broadway. Or sometimes, with tragic sudden ness, as names in headlines when murder is done. . Two Die Violently Murder happened for two of those hopefuls this week, with the slaying of Janice Wylie, 21, a green-eyed blonde with a prom ising career in acting ahead, and Emily Hoffert, 23, who in early September was to start teaching in Valley Stream, N.Y., a Long Island suburb. The two died violei.tly in a four room furnished, $250 a month apartment in one of Manhattan's "best" residential sections the east 80's. Three young women shared the apartment the third, Patricia Tolles, 23, an employe of Time Magazine, apparently survived be cause she left before the .slayer, or slayers, broke into the apart ment, slashed two victims to death, then bound their bodies to gether with bed sheets. Miss Wylie was the daughter of Max Wylie, author and executive with an advertising agency, and niece c' Philip Wylie, the author. She was employed at Newsweek, but had studied acting and had done some summer stock. - Miss Hoffert came from i so cially prominent family in Edina, Minn., an exclusive suburb of Minneapolis. . , Crime Shocks City The crime shocked the city. And it caused many a young woman and her parents to ask, how safe is' life away from the immediate protection of the fam ily? How safe the big .town? ... I asked Walter Arm, Deputy Police Commissioner of New York, to answer for1 parents and for the young women looking to a future in the - nation's largest city. . y i'i, "We cannot guarantee or insure safety," said Arm. But he pointed to. a Police De partment analysis of an FBI re port on crime nationally in 1962. Ul the 25 most populated cities New York ranked 18th in murder, 17th in forceful rape, 18th in rob bery, 10th in aggravated assault and 20th in burglary.
