Cascades not always friendly
Through the years, many venture
some alpinists have challenged the Ore
gon Cascades and their storms.
Not all have returned to the low
lands. Thirty-five years ago, over a La
bor Day week-end, two young men from
The Dalles, Hugh Ferry and Guy Cra
mer, left their base camp near the Mc
Kenzie Highway, just west of the sum
mit, and hiked Into the high country.
A storm was brewing, but the Sisters,
already shrouded in clouds, beckoned
the young hikers.
They failed to return from the
mountains on schedule. Then, as a
heavy storm moved in from the Pacific
to drench the low country and whiten
high peaks, one of the most Intensive
searches ever undertaken In Oregon
was launched.
Bend alpinists Joined In that hunt,
nnd out of the search grew the Sky
liners. Despite the heroic efforts of the
searchers, the lost youths were not
located In the raging storm. Years later
their bleached skeletons were found
near Chambers Lake, In the "saddle"
between the North and Middle Sisters.
They perished in a mountain blizzard.
Others have braved the dangers
of the high country in more recent
years. Less than two years ago a young
pastor from Lebanon, his wife and their
small child were caught In a storm In
the rugged region west of Bend, near
the eastern Broken Top crags. They
made their way out eventually. But
their brush with death was close.
Long ago, a trapper who dared
the high country in midwinter, Charley
George, died not far from the point
where the Lebanon pastor and his fam
ily were lost for two nights. The trap
per was caught in a fierce mountain
storm. His knowledge of the hills made
It possible for him to make his way
to an area where he knew there was a
shelter cabin. But the cabin was buried
under snow.
Years later Charley George's skel
eton was found within a stone's throw
of the shelter that he failed to find in
the blizzard.
A young couple from western Ore
gon this week challenged the Cascades.
An accident immobilized one of the
alpinists. His life virtually rested on
the rescue mission of his companion,
who made her way out of the moun
tains, on unmatched skis, to obtain
help.
The Cascades are friendly moun
tains In the vacation season, when
skies are blue and snow lines are high.
But In winter they are dangerous
mountains, great peaks whose snowy
serenity should not be disturbed.
But there will always bo those
who challenge the mountains. Some
will win. Others will lose.
Another step up for Ted Goodwin
Governor Hatfield's appointment of
Lane County Circuit Judge A. T. Good
win to the State Supremo Court Is of
special Interest to Central Oregonians.
"Ted" Goodwin was a graduate of
Crook County High School in the early
Forties.
Ho will bo remembered In Trine
vllle as a sincere, friendly and ambi
tious young man. Ted has come a long
way since those high school days.
Those who knew him and have fol
lowed his career will not be surprised
nt the trust placed In him by Governor
Hatfield. Although still a young man,
nt 30, he has displayed balance, wisdom
nnd keenness of wit far beyond his
years.
That he will serve the state well
In his new assignment we have no
doubt.
His appointment brings to mind
the regret we once had when Ted, after
an outstanding beginning as a news
paperman, decided to switch, to law,
Musing now, we can feel that regret
tempered by the thought that although
Oregon journalism once lost a groat
prospect, It has now gained a good
friend on the high bench.
This is Important.
There are continuous efforts to er
rode freedom of the press. It is comfort
ing to know that tho Supremo Court
has gained a member who knows Inti
mately the importance of this fight
which newspapers and other media
must constantly wage.
In addition to this professional con
sideration, we are gratified with the
thought that the people of the state
have also gained.
Judge Goodwin will bring to the
office qualities which fit him admirably
for the position, one of great impor
tance to Oregon.
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Ike took six planes on his
trip through South America
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON This column
recently made an error in report
ing on President Eisenhower's
trip to South America, which I
want to correct.
In reporting on the manner in
which the U.S. Navy Band had to
fly in a plane which was not in
the best of condition; and how it
was further asked to fly in a de
crepit Argentine plane, this col
umn stated that President Eisen
hower had flown to South Amer
ica in a jet with his private plane,
The Columbine, along to supple
ment the jet.
It was further suggested that
considering the tragic loss of 19
bandsmen over Itio Do Janeiro,
the remaining members of the
band might have been given the
courtesy of the President's Col
umbine in which to cross the An
des, especially after they were or
dered to finish out the tour, de
spite the fact that another Navy
band was on the other side of the
Andes aboard tho USS MeKinley
available to play for his recep
tion.
This column was In error.
The President did not take one
jet and The Columbine with him
to South America. He took six
planes, as follows:
Two jets
One Columbine
Two small constellations
One C-130 a huge cargo plane
which carried 80,000 pounds of
communications equipment.
Also one bubble-top limousine,
flown south especially for the oc
casion. This made a total of six planes
which Ike took with him to South
America. Apologies for understat
ing the size of his air caravan,
but no apologies for suggesting
that there was a chance for him
to have been considerate to the
remaining members of the Navy
Band.
Unofficial Ambassadors
The best piece of unofficial di
plomacy for the USA in recent
years has been accomplished by
Abo Saperstein's Harlem Globe
trotters, the crack Negro basket
ball team that has played all
over the globe and will play be
fore senators and ambassadors in
the nation's capital this week.
Shortly after we had won world
wide unfavorable headlines by
calling out the troops in Little
Rock, the Harlem Globetrotters
went with me to North Africa to
entertain American troops at
Christmas time; also to play be
fore civilian crowds in Libya nnd
Morocco crowds which are sen
sitive about racial discrimination.
Again, about a year ago, Saper
stein took his Globetrotters to
Russia without any State De
partment exchange. It was a
straight capitalist deal, and the
Globetrotters played to capacity
crowds; helping to dispell some of
the propaganda about American
Negroes.
Next winter Sapcrstein will take
tho Globetrotters to the darkest
part of darkest Africa.
What To Say
Pentagon press chief Murray
Snyder's underlings in the Navy
Department have been sleuthing
into what this column is going to
say, in advance of publication.
Here is what Snyder is saying pri
atcly to his public relations peo
ple as to what they should say
or not say about Army and Air
Force post exchanges.
One subject they must not talk
about, he says, is beer drinking.
"Publicity on this subject should
he kept to a minimum." his di
rective decrees. "Any emphasis on
beer drinking, whether in photo
graphs or in news stories, should
be avoided.
"Kmphasis should be placed in
stead," he suggests, "on such in
formation as the numlicr of soda
fountains, snack bars, and the
like."
Another subject Snyder would
rather bis bovs didn't advertise is
gasoline consumption. Perhaps be
! has in mind President Eisenhow
er's wishful remark about the old
days when military officers were
provided with streetcar tokens in
stead of limousines.
"Total gallonage may be re
leased, Snyder allows, but caih
lions: "When given, it is prefer
able that this information be ex
pressed in gallons per authorized
vehiiio rather than total gallon-age."
On the subject of cut-rate VX
Journalistic Musical Chairs
The game of Journalistic musical
chairs Is always interesting to those in
the business. As colleagues change Jobs,
it Is a source of satisfaction to the rest
of us that the moves are usually up
ward. Such Is the case with three of
our number this month.
Bob Chandler, the energetic young
rditor and publisher of the Bend Bul
letin, goes blg-tlme as general manager
of the Los Angeles Evening Mirror
News. That's a big step for him, but
or -f 're sure he will not find too much
for him. From what we've seen of the
Los Angeleaj papers, they could stand
som of the Chandler treatment.
To Bend goes Glenn Cushman who
hn I3ji nHjiaglng editor of the Capi
tal Journal In Salem. He'll be In general
charge of the Bulletin, which Chandler
will continue to own. Behind him are
several years of experience In guiding
the Capital Journal in a tough competi
tive situation.
Up to the managing editor's chair
nt the Capital Journal goes Jim Welch,
who has been writing editorials there
nnd who worked for several years nt
the Register-Guard. Fortunately, he
will continue to write his editorials
which are amoung the most sprightly in
the West. At the same time, he'll have
overall charge of the news-editorial
end of Salem's afternoon paper.
Congratulations, gentlemen, and
good luck. (Eugene Register-Guard)
O
prices, Snyder Is anxious hot to
ruffle private businessmen.
"Comparison with civilian store
prices will be avoided," he di
rects. And so on.
Under The Dome
When Harry Truman met his
old friend, Rep. Joe Martin, for
mer House GOP Leader, the oth
er day, he asked: "How did Char
ley Halleck and his supporters
manage to get your job, Joe?"
"They sneaked up on me," grin
ned Martin. "Judging from what
I hear around the country, they
didn't make any votes for the Re
publican party by that maneu
ver," observed Truman. . .Mrs.
Charles Boyle of Chicago, who is
running in the April 12 primary
for her late husband's seat in
Congress, thinks her chances are
good with eight "campaign man
agers" her children, aged 6 to
18 years, including a daughter who
sings Al Jolson melodies. . .When
Democratic Rep. Ray Madden
(Ind.) was needling Republican
colleagues of the Rules Commit
tee for "indecision" on civil rights
legislation, GOP Rep. Clarence
Brown (Ohio) shot back: "The on
ly time we had any trouble with
civil rights in Ohio was during an
invasion by the Indiana branch of
the Ku Klux Klan. We chased
some of them back over the bor
der and put the others in jail."
Hoosier Madden had no comeback
. . .Vice President Nixon is quiet
ly boosting Timothy J. Murphy, a
former Veterans of Foreign Wars
Commander, as Anthony Arpaia's
successor on the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The law re
quires that the vacancy be filled
by a Democrat which Murphy
claims to be. Yet he not only at
tended the Republican convention
in 1936, but seconded the nomina
tion of Vice President Nixon. Now
Nixon is trying to pay him off
with an appointment to the ICC
as a Democrat.
Neuberger name
is urged for

WASHINGTON (UPD- Friends
of the late Sen. Richard Neuberg
er (D-Ore.) a conservationist and
outdoorsman, added today to pro
posals for a permanent monument
to his memory.
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.)
joined Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R
Calif.) and Rep. Charles O. Por
ter (D-Ore.) in introducing a bill
to name the proposed National
Seashoro park area in southwest
Oregon after Neuberger.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) in
troduced legislation to re -name
John Day lock and dam on the
Columbia river after the senator.
Earlier this week, Rep. Walter
Norblad R - Ore.) introduced a
bill to re-name Green Peter dam
in Oregon alter Neuberger.
Morse told the senate that nam
ing John Day dam for Neuberger
would be a fitting tribute because
Neuberger was an active cam
paigner in Congress for funds to
build the project.
In a House speech. Porter said
the seashore idea was proposed
becauso tho bill to create the
"Oregon Dunes" park was "one
of tho major pieces of work in
which Senator Neuberger was en
gnccd at the time of his death."

To the Editor:
This Is my first attempt at writ
ing a "Letter to the Editor" and
it probably will be the last, but
the editorial in the Bend Bulletin
of March 11th regarding the aboli
tion of Justice Courts calls for at
least some sort of an answer.
It appears that someone has
failed to look up facts and figures
before writing this editorial and
by inference and innuendo insinu
ates that Justice Courts are the
low men on the judicial totem pole
and are a potential source of
scandal. It is not my intention to
whitewash Justice Courts and I
will be one of the first to admit
that they have their faults. How.
ever, the same thing can be said
of, among others, lawyers, ditch
diggers, storekeepers and editors.
It seems as though about every
so often somebody, possibly with
an axe to grind, takes a pot shot
at JPs and their Courts with the
idea of their elimination. Appar
ently all other Courts are, like
You may or may not know that
Caesar s wife, above suspicion,
the 1959 legislative interim com.
mittee considered a bill to abol
ish all justice courts in the State
of Oregon. The bill as introduced
called for the gradual abolishment
of Justice Courts and the estab
lishment of a system of commis
sioners. The commissioners were
to be empowered to set and ac
cept bail but no adjudication of
cases whatever. In the Central
Oregon area from northern to
southern border District Courts
were to be located at The Dalles,
Bend and Klamath Falls. All traf.
fic cases within the jurisdiction
of a District Court were to be fun-
neled through these three Courts.
In the establishment of district
courts, one of the avowed reasons
has been given as that of giving
some relief to a harassed and
overworked Circuit Court Docket
by taking over some of the cases.
It seemed as though the above
procedure would do little to ac
complish this end and in fact
would tend to defeat the purpose.
Apparently the legislature felt the
same way and the bill was so
changed and watered down as to
be hardly recognizable. In this
connection, in passing, if more
District Courts are to be estab
lished, it might be in order to take
a long look at some of the re
spective budgets as presented
each year.
Some time In August of this
year, the annual meeting of the
Oregon State Justice of the Peace
Association will be held in Red
mond with JPs from all over the
State in attendance. If the editor
of this editorial will contact me I
will be happy to extend him an in
vitation to attend the meeting,
workshops, and discussion pe
riods and a personal invitation to
a banquet to be held In the eve
ning. This letter is written in the de
fense of a group of people serving
as Justices of the Peace who are
honest, hard working and con
scientious, and genuinely interest
ed in their work as magistrates
in the judicial system of Oregon.

SAGEBRUSHINGS
Origin of St. Patrick's Day
appears lost in antiquity
By Ha S. Grant
Bulletin Staff Writer
Sure, and there's a hint of spring
in the air, this St. Patrick's Day!
It's a day to use a green table
cloth on the table, make a fancy
centerpiece, and serve Irish stew
for dinner.
Daffodils are a standby for the
early spring centerpiece. To fringe
the petals with a green filigree,
stand the flowers in a solution of
water and green food coloring,
halfway up the stems, for a few
hours before arranging.
Spring vacation and warmer
weather have had the usual re
sult, and school girls in crisp cot
ton dresses or pedal pushers are
much in evidence.
Spring is on the way, indeed.
And time to give the yard a good
cleaning, dig around the shrubs in
the foundation planting, and wash
the Priscilla curtains.
Fresh shamrocks ordered by
Bend Furniture Co., as a St. Pat
rick's Day give-away, fell some
what short of expectations.
Commies rap
Western plans
on disarmament
GENEVA (UPD Communist
Chinese and Russian propaganda
organs denounced the Western
blueprint for disarmament today,
scoring the emphasis on contiols
and saying it is not what the
world wants.
Moscow Radio and Pcip.'ng's
New China News Agency teamed
up in the attack as 10 East and
West nations got down to work in
the third session of the first ma
jor disarmament conferenco since
1957.
Moscow Radio said the three
stage Western plan made public
Monday "fails completely to ex
press the sentiments of the peo
ple." "The plan being put forward
by the West reflects the senti
ments of the Pentagon generals
who are demanding that the re
armament drive and the nuclear
experiments be continued," it
said.
Peiping's NCNA charged the
West was insisting on controls "to
the point of absurdity in order
to cover its reluctance for dis
armament" "Not a word on the elimination
of military bases in foreign coun
tries was mentioned in the West
ern plan though they constitute
one of the major sources of in
ternational tension," he said.
Authoritative Western sources at
Geneva said the West plans to
step up pressure on the Soviets
to concentrate at least on pre
venting the arms race from en
tering outer space.
Western delegates have warned
increasingly of the urgent need
for this before one side or the
other is able to develop what
France's Jules Moch called the
Absolute weapon a space sat
ellite with a nuclear warhead that
could be called down on a target
at will.
U. S. Delegate Frederick M.
Eaton stressed in his opening
speech to the conference Tuesday
"we must take immediate action
to prevent the extension of the
arms race into outer space."
When the package arrived at the
store yesterday, the clerks were in
a tizzy of excitement, expecting to
find inside the box bouquets of
something like four-leaf clovers,
perky and ready for lapel adorn
ment. When the wrappings were
loosened and the box top remov
ed, an ominous odor gave warn
ing. Inside the box was what ap
peared to he a big slice out of a
peat bog, marbeled with a green
ish tinge.
The last I knew, the diggings
from the "Old Sod" were strewn
in the furnace room in the base
ment of the furniture store.
'Tis said that when the mud
dries, it skiffs off and a delicate
green vine emerges.
(But what happens to the peat
bog odor?)
Shamrocks, not real ones, were
in evidence at the courthouse to
day. These are the familiar silk
thread ones, arranged in bunches
with a tiny clay pipe centering
each.
The shamrock corsages were a
gift from the credit union to which
some courthouse employes belong.
When notices of a meeting were
distributed yesterday, an ample
supply of the corsages were left in
each office.
Saint Patrick, the traditional pa
tron saint of the Irish, gets very
meager mention, if any at all, in
most encyclopedias.
Yet St. Patrick is variously cre
dited for driving the snakes out of
Ireland, wearing a derby hat and
introducing the potato into the
country.
The myth about the snakes
seems to be the oldest one, and the
association with the derby hat per
haps stems from the predomi
nance of narrow brimmed felt
bowlers in St. Patrick's Day pa
rades in American cities.
It was Sir Walter Raleigh, not
St. Patrick, who promoted the po
tato. He is said to have taken po
tatoes with him to England from
America in 1383, and Sir Fran
cis Drake is sometimes credited
with introducing the potato in the
British Isles in 1536,
Anyway, with reason or not, the
potato, the derby, the shamrock
and the clay pipe are symbolic of
St. Patrick's Day.
Do you suppose old St. Pat
smoked a pipe?
