Authorities said that if it had
capsized it would have remained
on the surface, keel up.

a ground check proved it to be
an old boat that had been in the
water about a year. ,

take to the air again today and
about four state police officers

It's one thing to produce a fine whiskey

Is That So?
Each day's mail brightens an
hour for me. But for my judges
who must decide who has sub
mitted the best true adventure
or asks the best question, it's
sheer torture. For example,
here's what's left from t typical
day's sampling of over 75 let
ters. And remember, there are
seven days to each week.
"When I was in school my sci
ence teacher and I had an argu
ment about whether or not an
imals reason," writes Mrs.
E.E.R., Mesa, Ariz. "I felt that to
a certain extent they do and he
felt that it was entirely animal
instinct. In support of my be
litf, I cited this experience:
"At a picnic in the mountains
we had cantaloupes. When we
were through eating we put the
halved cantaloupe rinds out for
the chipmunks and then stood
back to watch them enjoy it.
One chipmunk had two babies
and one of these was in a can
taloupe half and got too far on
one side and it flipped over
covering him up.
"The mother did a lot of ex
cited chirping and running
around. Finally she sat down,
looked at the cantaloupe for a
minute, and then dug under it
and rescued her baby.
"Now what do you think? Was
it instinct or reason that ac
counted for her actions."
Next, there's a penciled ob
servation by a young naturalist.
"Somebody said horses didn't
lie down because they were
afraid of mice. I was on a camp
ing trip and watched the horses
all night. They ate hay until 2
In the morning, then laid down
until 4 in the morning, then got
up and went to eating hay again.
They weren't afraid of mice."
Didn't Sign Nam
Unfortunately the writer of
this picture post card (it had a
picture of Upper Klamath Lake,
Oregon) did not sign his name or
give return address. In consider
ing the card, my judges would
like the young observer's name
and address, please.
"One day during the winter,
my father and I were ice fish
ing In the Jefferson river,"
writes R.W., of Whitehall, Mont.,
"when we saw two otter around
four feet long playing on the ice.
As we were watching both slid
into the swift water at exactly
the same time, without even
making a riffle.
"We thought we had seen the
last of them but soon they
quietly reappeared In the water
within 10 feet of us. They stood
up straight in the water with
about the upper eight inches
showing. Apparently after satis
fying their curiosity, they sub
merged but instead of sub
merging like beaver or muskrat,
by rolling and going into the
water head first they just sank
as if something had them by the
feet, and pulled them under . . ."
"Some years ago my older
brother. Bud, and I were horse
back riding on my father's ranch
in southwestern New Mexico."
wrote another correspondent.
"The day was unusually warm
for late spring. Suddenly both
horses started acting up and we
couldn't spur them forward.
Mine quivered like an aspen leaf.
Up ahead about SO yards was a
broken rock formation at the
head of a dry, sandy arroyo.
The horses were panicky now
and then we got the smell, a
sickening stench which I'll re
member the rest of my life.
Weird Sound Heard
"My brother decided we
should investigate.. We tied the
horses to a pinon tree and walk
ed cautiously toward the rock
formation. We'd walked about
half the distanceto the arroyo,
when we picked up the weird
sound rattle that sounded like
someone shaking a pot full of
dried beans, but Intensified a
hundred times.
"Bud pulled his pistol and we
walked to the arroyo's edge and
looked over. It was a sight I'll
never forget. Rattlesnakes. How
many I'll never know. They
were all coiled together in a
tight ball that would fill a good
sized washtub. Heads and tails
were sticking out everywhere,
the "ball' moving slightly on the
sandy bottom. The stench was
overpowering.
"Bud emptied his gun into the
writhing, hissing mess, but with
little effect. The buzzing merly

Increased, long with the stench.
We got out of there fast.
"Since then I have asked a
hundred times or more just what
it was we had witnessed."
From such factual observa
tions and questioning, say I, the
field of Natural History is being
enlarged and that is why I feel
privileged to read every incom
ing letter. For each goes my
thanks. EB.

Russians Protest
Wire-Tap Tunnel
Washington (U.PJ The State
Department expressed surprise
today that Russia complained
through diplomatic channels
about "the so-called telephone
tapping tunnel into Communist
East Berlin.
A spokesman said the United
States had regarded the incident
primarily one to be handled by
local authorities in Berlin.
The Soviet Union charged in
a note to the United States that
it had proof that American spies
dug the tunnel and filled it with
communications - tapping equip
ment. Russia demanded that U.S.
authorities punish those respon
sible. Contents of the note were
broadcast by Moscow Radio
Thursday.
The State Department said it
has received only a summary
of the Soviet note from the
American Embassy in Moscow.
A spokesman said when the com
plete text is received it "will
be studied" carefully.
The Moscow broadcast re
ferred to "an American service
agency in western Germany" as
being responsible for the tunnel.
It did not identify the agency
further, however.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEElC
Back Stairs: Ike Discouraged on Golf
By MERRIMAN SMITH
. United Press Writer
Washington (L'.PJ Back-1
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower is be
coming discouraged about his
golf. He thinks he should be
laying much better. The only
round that has satisfied him was
an 84 several weeks ago at the
Burning Tree Chib.
His game earlier this week In
Gettysburg, Pa., was something
less than Ben Hogan would ad
mire. The President was all over
the course.
On his first hole, he skied one
ball to the right, another to the
left and finally hit a third first
tee shot down the middle for
about 150 yards. When he's
really on his game, the Chief Ex
ecutive can drive them over 200
yards.
Professionals who have seen
the President play lately say he
is trying too hard; trying to kill
the ball from the tee. Chances
are, however, that these same
professionals have said little to
to tlie Chief Executive about his
current golf problems. He'll
have to go to an old friend for
that sort of frank advice.
The next time the president
goes out to dinner for a big for
mal occasion will be the banquet
of the White House News Photo
graphers Association early next
month at the Sheraton Park
Hotel.
Bob Hope, the screen, stage
and television comedian, will be
the master of ceremonies. The
photographers had hoped to
have Dinah Shore, the blonde
singing star, one hand too, but
Miss Shore is busy.
One of the busiest months of
the year for the President will
be July. He'll not only entertain
for Indian Prime Minister Nehru
at nearby Camp David, but dur
ing late July will participate In
another "operation alert," a
government exercise in how to
defend against relatively sudden
atomic bomb attacks.
' The President in July has also
a date with Gen. Omar Bradley,
former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. It just could be
that Bradley might join In the
Eisenhower-Nehru talks.
There were more than a few
faint hearts at the Washington
Airport earlier this week when
the President returned from a
week end at Gettysburg. Some
one on the edge of the crowd
thought a Secret Service agent
said, "take him right to the doc
tor's office."
Turned out to be wrong. The
agent didn't say it. The Pres
ident went right to his office
and to work, leaving a fine crop
of rather limp eavesdroppers
at the airport.

6,679,495 Forest Tree
Seeding Shipped
Salem (U.PJ Assistant State
Forester Vance L. Morrison re
ported today that a total of
6,679,495 forest tree seedlings
were shipped from the Oregon
forest nursery near Corvallis for
reforestation on state and pri
vately owned forest lands dur
ing the 1955-56 planting season.
Half of the total production
went into the reforestation of
state-owned lands under the
state's multi-million dollar re
habilitation program, Morrison
said, with the major portion
being planted in the Tillamook
burn. This will bring the total
Tillamook planting since the
project started in 1949 to better
than 20,000,000 seedlings, he
added.

THOSE SCORCHING DAYS

fastest locomotives made the run
from Buffalo, N. Y. to Rochester,

minutes, including stops. This
was about 45 miles an hour.
Commented the Albany Morning

People who wish to do better
should mount a bombshell and
get fired out of mortar."
