Search Fails
To Locate
Oregon Flier
GOLDENDALE, Wash, (ft -
Searchers failed again Wednesday
to find Henry Baker, 20. The
Dalles, missing in the deep snow
and whistling winds of the Cascade
Range since a plane crash Satur
day morning.
The pilot of the plane. Jack
LaRocque. 40. The Dalles, was
seriously injured and pinned in the
wreckage. He was rescued Sunday
after the wreckage was sighted.
But Baker, although bleeding
from the mouth, was able to set
out after help. LaRocque said
Baker came back to spend Satur
day night in the I wrecked plane, 4
but yet out again Sunday. He has
not been seen since.
-. Repeated storms have dumped
three feet of new snow on the
area, have covered his tracks and
hampered searchers.
More than 100 persons took part
in the search north of here
Wednesday, but Sheriff E. C.
Kaiser said only a few would be
available Thursday. They. plan to
search thoroughly a canyon lead
ing up to Simcoe Peak, where the
airplane, crashed.
The sheriff said there was little
hope Baker had survived the
freezing weather. He said all
cabins in the area south of the
peak had been searched, and no
trace found of Baker.
He said there remain a few
nnsearched cabins west of that
area. Those will be visited Thurs
day. CLEANUP BIDS SOUGHT

its your guarantee of more years of gas-saving

fast as 17 others that were put on
the block in the last five years.
Inflation has hit the lighthouse
market. For example, the ' light
station at Wings Neck. Cape Cod,
was built in 1849 for $3215. It has
been done over a number of times
since, and the going-rate today is
$13(738.
It Was Quite A Life
Much has been written about the
old keepers of lighthouses. Some of
the glimmers were a mile out to
sea. When summer was around the
keeper could row home for a week
end, if he had an assistant. But in
the chill of winter, he packed a big
lunch, oared out in his dinty and
for the next few months saw more
of the waves than he did of his
wife. Sure, he could wig-wag his
missus a message, but that wasn't
as good as kissing her behind the
ear at Yuletide.
Worse, the life of the keeper was
here today and maybe gone tomor
row. Take the plight of one John
W. B. Thompson, assistant keeper'
of the Cape Florida lighthouse in
1836.
The incident occurred on July 23
during the Seminole War. After it
was all over, according to files in
the Coast Guard headquarters,
Thompson made out his official re
port. The Cape Florida house was
practically on shore. He looked out
the kitchen window and saw a
band of Indians approaching, mus
kets and bows and arrows at the
ready. Thompson and his helper
ran to bolt the door of the light
house.
The Indians Attack
"I had the key in the inside
lock," the keeper said, "when an
Indian had his hand on the outside
latch."
There followed many arrows and
even more musket balls. All
thompson and his, man had were
three muskets. They fired two of
them until they were hot and then
picked up the spare.
The helper finally was done in
and the keeper was wounded "in
several places." The Indians fired,
by accident, into tin tanks of oil,
225 gallons of it. and soon the in
side of the lighthouse was an in
ferno. Finally Thompson made it
to the top of the lighthouse and to
escape cremation climbed out on a
two-foot ledge.
"I recommended my ,soul to
God," the keeper wrote in his re
port. "I thought of jumping to the
rocks below, but decided not to."
The Indians thought him dead,
went about plundering and stealing
everything they could lay a hand
on, Then the Redmen went away.
The keeper cut off one leg of his
pants and waved for help. Help
finally came, and Thompson lived
to tend another light..

Researchers Claim Monkeys
'Contaminated hy Civilization'
By DELOS SMITH .
United Press Science Editor
NEW YORK (UP Scientific
research couldn't be the same
without monkeys' but the trouble
with monkeys who live with people
is that people contaminate them
people never do a monkey, any
good.
And so scientists of the Air Force
decided to get their monkeys
fresh out of the wilds. They sent
three of their number to India
twice, the fir time to fetch back
440 monkeys, The second time, 500.
Few Flees On Them
Once in the jungles of North In
dia where there are many, many
monkeys but very few people, they
got an idea of what people do to
monkeys.
For one thing, the monkeys were
relatively free of excessive para
sitism, which is the way a scien
tist says they didn't have too many
fleas. The implication is uncom
forably clear that monkeys either

Vaccine Asked
For France
PARIS UFi Bernard Laf ay,
French minister of public health,
said Wednesday he would ask the
United States to send enpugh Salk
anti-polio vaccine to France to
guard against any possible epi
demic, j I
He did not specify any amount
but indicated he would be satis
fied to have an emergency ship
ment-on hand.
He said a similar French-produced
vaccine would not be ready
for some time. -
In Rome, the newspaper Gior-
nale d'ltalia said Italy would ask
the United States for 50,000 doses
of the vaccine.
Old Age Insurance
Fund 6In Doubt'
WASHINGTON UP) Three cab
inet members who are trustees
for the Social Security system
reported Wednesday that the old
age insurance fund might go broke
or build up to 146 billion dollars
by the end of the century.
The trustees Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey, Secretary of
Labor Mitchell and Secretary of
Welfare Hobby made the esti
mates in their annual report to
Congress.
The report was based on social
security revisions last year which
brought millions of new workers
into the system and increased
benefits.
acquire fleas from people or peo
ple introdue the animals, to the
fleas.
Monkeys around people are very
prone to tuberculosis. And sure
enough there was practically no
tuberculosis among the wild mon
keys. The closer the monkeys lived
to Indian villages, the more they
had TB.
( They Are Fighters
The. scientists Benjamin D.
Fremming. Richard E. Benson,
and Robert J. Young hired a pro
fessional trapper. He guarded his
know-how in monkey trapping as
he guarded his life. Whether he
was afraid the monkeys would get
wise to his secrets or thought
rival trappers might, he did not
make clear. '
However, the monkeys were to
be reckoned with. When some were
caught in ensnaring nets and then
transferred to cages, their broth
ers, vsisters, uncles and aunts
swarmed down and made every
effort to set them free. These
would-be liberators were willing
to attack men.
These were little rhesus monkevs
. -
that weigh only five to eight pound
After trapping in any gjven area,
the trappers had to stay out of
that area for months. The monkeys
didn't quickly forget.
Summer Study
Of Root Rot
Disease Set
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
One of Western Oregon's most
threatening forest disease prob
lems root rot in conifers is
due for study beginning this sum
mer by the Oregon State College
forest experiment station.
Dr. Lewis F. Roth, fcf est plant
pathologist, will be project lead
er. The root rot problem involves
two species of damaging soil
fungi, according to Roth. One is
a -menace to Port Orford cedar
stands. The other, cinnamon root
rot. is a serious potential threat
to Douglas fir and other North
west conifers.
First reported damage from
Port Orford root rot came on
ornamental trees in the Willam
ette Valley .around 1938. It ap
peared in 1952 in the native
range ci Port Orford cedar at
Coos Bay. Since then, the rot
has spread through Port Orford
plantings and stands in Coos and
Curry counties and has continued
to spread in plantings in the
Willamette Valley.
Cinnamon root rot was first
observed near Portland in 1948.
WThile it has' not been found in
any forest stands to date, green
house research shows DoUglas fir
trees and many other conifers
are susceptible.
