prospector was rescued Tuesday
after eight days of wandering
100 miles in desolate southern

shelter.
Charles L. Robinson was found
as he feebly tried to break open
a can of beans on rocks at an
abandoned prospecting camp
just below Dead Horse Point on
the Colorado river.
Taste Like Sardines
"Lizards taste a lot like sar-

he was hospitalized.
Body Scratched. Bruised
Wells saia Robinson's body
was scratched and bruised from
head to foot from the ordeal in
some of Utah's wildest, hottest
and most desolate desert coun
try. Hunger was the worst part of
the ordeal, Robinson said. He
ate raw lizards to supplement
his meager supplies.
Officers said he never would

since his boat capsized in a Colo
rado river cataract June 4.
Robinson was with Bryan
Waelder, 52, Long Beach, Calif.,
when they lost their river boat.
The men disagreed on the best
plan of action and went differ
ent ways.
Waelder was found last Fri
day by Deputy Sheriff Bill
Wells after an aerial search near
Hanksville.
Weils also was leading the
river party that found Robinson.
Searchers saw where he had
crawled from the water after
swimming the swollen river, and
followed his tracks to the camp.
Robinson was so tired that he
didn't even hear his rescuers ap-

Early Votes Scheduled
The Senate and House Inter
ior committees yesterday sched
uled early votes on bills to au
thorize the controversial dam
on the Snake river. The bills
have been blocked in .the com
mittees since last year.'
A break in the House commit
tee deadlock came when a Re
publican member. Rep. J. Edgar
Chenoweth (R-Colo.), announced
he would vote for the bill. He
said he has been promised help
in return from Speaker Sam Ray
burn to get his bill to' authorize
the Frying Pan-Arkansas pro-'
ject in Colorado out of the rules
committee.
Budge said it was difficult for
him into believe there was any
agreemen tbetween Rayburn and
Chenoweth. He said he "prefers
to think" that the development
"resulted from the activities of
the Democratic national chair
man." Budge pointed out that
Butler called for congressional
approval of four public power;
items, including Hells Canyon,
in a letter to Senate Majority ;
Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-;
Tex.) last March. Rayburn got
a copy, he said.
Attack Said Meaningless
He said Butler stated in the
letter that "our campaign at
tack on the administration give
away at Hells Canyon is mean
ingless if the Democratic major
ity has not moved in the 84th
Congress to stop it."
The letter added that "this
issue is hot in Oregon and will
be a vital factor in the reelec
tion of Sen. Wayne Morse (D-
Ore.) and Rep. Edith Green (D
Ore.)," he said.
Budge said he was convinced
that President Eisenhower would
veto a Hells Canyon bill if it
got past both houses.

doctor said today that men who
have completely recovered from
heart attacks should be allowed
to return to active duty.
Lt. Col. Philip G. Keil said
such men should.be allowed to
serve as co-pilots
Keil and Dr. Leon V. McVay,
of the Air Force hospital at Max
well Air Force Base, studied 107
heart attack patients between
1951 and 1955.
They reported their findings
today at the 105th annual meet
ing of the American Medical As
sociation. Many of the heart attack pa
tients were "highly qualified
and motivated" commissioned
and noncommissioned officers,
the two doctors said.
If they have no subsequent
symptoms and if they have nor
mal sized hearts and normal cir
culation after recovery, they
should not be relieved from duty,
the doctors said. r
Nor should they be treated as
"invalids." they added.
