Lonely Ranch to Be Sold,
Ending Mysterious History
Of Elderly Oregon Recluse
Fort Rock. Ore. (U.R A
ranch in northern Lake county
near Fort Rock will be auction

And, thus, will come an end to
the strange story of George Pey

since the early days of the cen

and frozen. He apparently had

suffered a stroke and was unable
to unfasten the special lock on
the door of his home an old
granary. . " f 1
His bodv was found by a nei
ghbor, Mrs. Minnie Stilz of the
Horse ranch. Mrs. Stilz had
helped the elderly recluse chop
his fire wood and do his farm
chores for the last year, during
a time when he was ill.
Peverl moved into the old
granary 30 years ago when his
house burned down. He never
attempted to rebuild, apparently
content to live alone in the gran
ary. Peyerl had a grim fear of
strangers and made few friends.
He apparently had no close rela
tives . It's uncertain where he
came from, but he is believed to
have been a native of Austria.
He came to Fort Rock shortly
after the turn of the cmtury.
For a time he was a blacksmith
in the now vanished town of
Fremont. Through all the years
he lived alone. '
He never discarded any mail
cr any article he acquired. His
granary home was filled with
books, some of them in German.
Some dealt with cooking, others
were technical works on electri
city and the sciences. Many of
the books concerned the training
of horses. -
His personal effects were sold
at auction recently. The final
chapter in Peyerl's lonely ex
istence will be closed with the
sale of his land.

Sen. Morse Reports More Requests From
Constituents This Session of Congress
By SEN. WAYNE MORSE
Washington, D.C. This ses
sion of Congress has brought
forth more requests from consti
tuents for help on specific prob
lems with the Federal Govern
ment than at any other time
during my 10 years in the Sen
ate. We have always worked
hard in my office in connection
with Oregon problems, but we
have never before received so
many requests from so many
groups for help.
A great many requests are
coming from small businessmen
who report that they are being
caught in an economic squeeze.
Also many farm groups are ap
pealing to our office for assist
ance not only in connection with
legislation, but for help in con
nection with problems which
have arisen under the Adminis
tration in the various agricul
tural laws. We are also receiving
a large number of communica
tions asking for help on almost
every conceivable problem that
can arise between a taxpayer
and his Federal Government.
Delighted to Help
Needless to say, we are de
lighted to carry out our duty of
assisting in any way we can be
cause it is a service to which the
taxpayer is entitled. Our only
regret is that there are not
enough hours in the days and
evenings of the week to do the
work as fast as I would like to
have it always done in rendering
service to constituents. As it is,
we keep the office open on the
average of four evenings a week.
There are no pay allowances
for overtime for members of my
staff, which is composed of a
very loyal and enthusiastic
group , of associates who are
working' their heads off not only
for their boss, but for the entire
State of Oregon. In fact, I would
like to take this opportunity of
thanking them in behalf of the
people of our State for the won
derful work they are doing in
my office. I am sure that every
constituent who has worked
with members of my staff on
some problem will want to share
my expression of thanks.
Committee Assignments Heavy
Senator after Senator can be
heard these day's saying that it
is impossible for him to attend
all the committee meetings that
are in almost constant session.
To my surprise and astonish
ment the other morning, I found
that I was supposed to be at six
different committee and sub
committee meetings at the same
hour. Under such circumstan
ces, it becomes necessary to "se
lect what you consider the most
essential meeting and then send
members of your staff to sit as
observers at the other committee
meetings and transmit your in
structions to the chairman of the
committee for proxy voting.

Dud Atomic Bombs
Disarmed for First
Time During Test
Dayton, Ohio U.R) Dud
atomic bombs were rendered
harmless in the first test of its
kind recently at a desert range
near Tucson, Ariz., an . Air Ma
teriel Command spokesman has
revealed.
AMC headquarters said a
team from the 2700th Explosive
Ordnance Disposal ' Squadron
here at Wright Patterson Air
Force base successfully disarmed
what it thought were un
exploded atomic bombs in a test
called "Exercise Even-Up."
Take Precautions
"Althought the special wea
pons were inert, extra precau
tions were taken as it was as
sumed .by the ordnance team
that they were extremely dan
gerous and that an atomic ex
plosion could result," the spokes
man said. He explained that an
inert bomb was one that has
been unarmed and cannot ex
plode while a dud is a live bomb
that has failed'to explode.
He said the Dayton detach
ment and other teams assumed
the two bombs were duds when
they were dropped along with
24 conventional bombs near Sa
hurita Bomber and Gunnery
Range at Tucson. The bombs
were dug out and rendered
harmless in two and one half
days...... ..
The spokesman pointed out,
however, there is no official rec
ord of any atomic bomb ever
failing to explode.
mittee has just announced my fore, I offered a resolution call-
own subcommittee assignments
on that committee. They include
the Chairmanship of the Sub
committee on the South Ameri
can Republics; and membership
on two other subcommittee,
namely, Economic and Social
Affairs and State Department
Public Relations. The Assign
ments are of great interest to
me because of my long - standing
conviction that we need to do a
better job of strengthening eco
nomic relations between the
United States and South Ameri
ca. :
We should recognize before
it is too late that the greatest
defense weapon our country will
have in the long contest against
Communism is bound to be the
economic productive power of
free men throughout the world.
Therefore, it is important for
our national security, as well as
from our selfish economic stand
point, to work out economic
agreements between our Govern
ment and South American gov
ernments whereby American
businessmen and investors will
find it safe and profitable : to
help build up the economy of
South America. .
Sale of Rubber Plants '
On March 23, the Senate ap
proved the sale of the Federal
government's - synthetic rubber
plants, to private industry. I
favored the sale of these plants
to private enterprise, but I
strongly opposed it in the form
of the contracts which the Sen
ate was asked to approve. There-
Canned Foods To Be
Exposed to A -Blast
Long Beach, Calif. (U.R)
George B. Morrill Jr., president
of the National Canners assn.,
said 60 canned foods will be ex
posed to an atomic blast in the
first test of its kind to determine
whether the food may be safely
eaten after a nuclear explosion.
Merrill told a group of South
ern California canners the food
in both glass and tin containers
would be exposed to the explo
sion at various distances from
ground . zero, presumably at
Yucca Flat during the current
Nevada nuclear test series.
ing for a postponement of the
sale until ' some much needed
protections for small business
were written into the contracts.
Although my resolution was de
feated by a vote of 56 to 31, some
of the most able lawyers in the
Senate, including Sen. George of
Georgia and Sen Ervin of North
Carolina, formerly a member of
the North -, Carolina Supreme
Court, supported by position.
My office had received many
protests from small gas station
operators in Oregon and small
businessmen up and down the
Pacific Coast, who are dependent
upon the big oil and rubber com
panies for a supply of rubber
goods at a fair price, urging me
to do what I could to get some
safeguards into the contracts.
We made a record in this fight
that can be used in the future
if the companies who bought
these plants continue to violate
the anti-trust laws as they have
done so many times in the past.
We hope that this record will
make these companies think
twice before they try to set up
a pattern of squeezing out the
small independent businessmen
and rubber producers.
