Th Orti The day isn't too far away hen the quickest drive to the Oregon coast from Portland will be to the bustling town of Tillamook. A hishway project In the middle of Tillamook and repair of the Bayocean penin sula at the mouth of Tillamook bay have filled the town with construction workers. But the project most eagerly watched by many Tillamook residents Is on the road to Portland. This is the construction of a cut-off road from the Sunset highway to the Wilson River highway, which will make the total mileage from Portland to Tillamook only 72 miles, com pared to 79 miles to Cannon Beach or Seaside. When this ten-mile stretch of road, extending from Banks on the Sunset highway to Glen wood on the Wilson River high way, is paved late this fall, motorists will be able to drive to Tillamook without going through the towns of Beaver ton, Hillsboro and Forest Grove. Loop Drive la Scenic And the loop trip to Tilla mook, along the coast to the Sunset junction north of Can non Beach and returning via the Sunset highway will be an enjoyable one-day trip that might rival the ML Hood loop highway. The section of coast seen in the trip is on of the most spectacular areas of high way 101. and the total loop route from Portland will be only 192 miles. To preview the loop trip, we took the Oregon State Motor association's white motorlog Ford out the Sunset highway to Cannon Beach, where we turned aside to drive the twisting road to Ecola state park and call on Mr. and Mrs. George Marlman. Marlman has been park care taker for 14 years, and they live in a house overlooking the Sea Lion rocks. The sea lions were there on the rocks when we arrived, and could easily be seen from the Marlman home. There are many deer in the park area, and Marlman has tamed some of them. On one occasion, he stepped to his back door and called the deer to eat some of the apples they love. Seventeen deer showed up for the feast. -...tiiiiii.mnjiiiimiu.mil. jimni.i 'l 1 i '-, -.

One year Marlman painted one buck's antlers red, and these got it safely through the hunting sea son. We traveled south past Hay stack rock, and at Silver Point stopped to admire the view. When we shifted our eyes from the Pacific surf to the strip of land between the highway and the coast, we saw five elk grazing in the lush grasslands, an indication of the true wilder ness area through which the highway runs. In a few miles, we came to one of the most popular over night camping spots on this sec tion of the coast. This is Oswald West state park, originally called Short Sands state park, but renamed this year in honor of the ex-governor of Oregon who has done so much to pre serve the beauties of the Ore gon coast. Mountain, Cape Included The park includes one of the coastline's lushest rain forests, as well as Neahkahnie moun tain. Cape Falcon and a shel tered cove which has long been a favorite picnic spot and refuge for fishing vessels. From highway parking areas two trails lead to the beach, about one half mile from the highway. One trail follows Neahkahnie creek and the other Short Sand creek. The two streams join before reaching the ocean. People visiting the park must be hikers, but they can carry camping equipment on one of several wheelbarrows provided at the parking areas. There are 20 camp sites, with a charge of 75 cents per night per car. There is good surf swimming at Pirate Cove at the end of the trail, with the mouth of the streams making a safe, shallow OREGON CANNON '"""S ' BEACHlW, PORTLAND V TAMOC SSZT New ro4 connects Sunset ud Wilson river highways place for small children to get their water fun. The picnie tables, stoves and fireplaces were being well used when we viewed the park from Falcon point, where a flat rock shelf provides an excellent surf fish ing spot. A few miles south of the park we came to Nehalem. We passed some fine swim ming beaches at Manhattan Beach, Twin Rocks and Rock away. At Bar View we watched surf fishermen trying their luck off the rocks, then swung along Tillamook bay. Just north of Tillamook is a business enterprise which is also a prime tourist attraction. This is the cheese plant of the Tillamook County Creamery as sociation, the largest and new est of ten plants owned co operatively by a group of 900 Tillamook dairymen. Its parking lot is always filled with cars of tourists, who can take free tours through the plant daily from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. We parked the motorlog car in the lot and joined a group making a tour, helping ourselves first to free chunks of mild and sharp cheese. All the processes of cheese making were explained by a guide, and we shivered in a cold room at 40 degrees temperature while he pointed out the large cheeses being aged, including some gigantic 500-pound cheeses which are sold to super markets. Interchange Being Built The Wilson river highway is receiving a new entrance out of Tillamook which will elimi nate several curves. We soon came to the point oast of Glen wood where the new cut-off road will join the Wil son River highway. A large in terchange is being built here, and barriers across the as yet un paved road close it to traffic. It cuts straight and wide al most directly east. Work began on the new stretch about two years ago. W. C (Dutch) Williams, state highway engineer, estimates hopefully that it will be' com pleted and open to traffic by late September or early Oc tober. In only a few minutes the town of Banks was before us. and we drove through it and joined the Sunset highway. We were practically to Portland, and after leaving Tillamook had not had to enter any major towns. The return trip from the coast had been one of the eas iest we had ever driven. Hazing Victim Finds Life at College Dull Claremont. Calif.-U.R) Tedd Determan found life fairly dull today at Claremont Men's col lege after returning from a 48 hour spree in New York. The 18-year-old president of the sophomore class returned to the college campus Tuesday. Only two days before freshman class members as part of hazing had put him on a New York bound airliner. Determan arrived at Interna tional airport in nearby Los Art geles and was cheered by a small group of students as he rode off in a Cadillac convertible. The hazing victim, however, appeared unshaken and he ad mitted he had a lot of fun. He said no revenge was planned Painter Unconscious After Bridge Tumble Hood River U.R) William M. Raylor, 32-year-old Pasco painter who plunged 165 feet from the top of the Bridge of the Gods Monday was listed in "poor" condition in a local hos pital today. Taylor was unconscious this morning. He took a turn for the worse early yesterday after sur viving the fall. He suffered a broken arm and leg, internal in juries and shock. His fall was broken by a tem porary staging and later by tele graph lines. against freshmen because the hazing is an annual affair, but "we didn't expect it to be a transcontinental affair."

WILKES LYNN COLBY 133 South Central Phone 2-9322 Loan Officials Urged To Change Attitudes Miami Beach. Fla. U.R) A research psychologist told a group of loan company officials today they should change their lending attitude and make peo ple feel proud instead of ashamed to borrow money. Dr. Ernest Dichter, president of the Institute for Motivational Research, Croton - on - Hudson, N.Y., said the companies should strive to make borrowing a sym bol of confidence in the future. The- old attitude with all its taboos and deep emotional im plications is fast giving way to the "new psychology of moral sanction in our society," he stated. Dichter 's remarks came at the advertising session of the 42nd annual convention of the Nation al Consumer Finance association. Segregationists Push Campaign Against School Integration By UNITED PRESS Segragationists waged cam paigns by picketing and words today in both the oldest and the newest of the 1956 school in tegration disputes. Gov. Frank Clement of Ten nessee, who used troops to quell the nation's first desegration riot this fall, was attacked by a speaker in his own state Tuesday night and by pickets in Texas. Some 900 persons heard a rally speaker at Lake City, Tenn., accuse Clement of using the National Guard as a "goon squad" to break up protests against integration at Clinton, Tenn. Picket Hotel Twenty-five persons from the Houston, Tex., White Citizens Council picketed the Shamrock Hilton hotel where Clement ad dressed a Zionist fund-raising dinner. They carried signs say ing, "Judas Clement betrayed the people of Tennessee . . ." Also in Texas some 200 white pickets turned back a Negro stu dent and a Negro attorney from Lamar State College of Tech nology at Beaumont, which has become the latest trouble spot in the South's controversy over court-ordered mixed classrooms. Some of the pickets "talked" to Attorney T. R? Jones. legal spokesman for the Negro stu dents who have enrolled in the college, and to an unidentified student arriving with him. Both left without incident. Students Protest Picketing Students at Lamar themselves protested the picketing and about 400 signed a petition de manding removal of the pickets. About 60 to 70 officers in cluding two Texas Rangers were on hand to prevent trouble. Clement, Bible-quoting key noter of the Democratic Nation al Convention, has repeatedly defended his use of troops at Clinton. "So help me God." he told the Zionists, "I will preserve law and order as far as Tennes see is concerned as long as I am governor." Benson Cites Action Taken for Benefit Of Family Farmer Huntley, 111. (U.P.) Secre tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben son said today the Eisenhower administration has "taken more constructive action for the ben efit of the family farm" than any previous administration in years. He accused Democrats of mak ins "deliberately misleading, careless and irresponsible state ments" about rthe administra tion's attitude towards the fam ily farmer. C"--res 'Utterly False' "The facts reveal how utterly fplse and absurd are the charges," Benson said in -a speech nrep-ired for dedication of the Thor Research Center for B't F?rm Living. The speech is the first of about 20 Benson will ma'e on an 18-state swing through the farm belt the West and a few eastern states. He will extsnd ereetinEs to the American Butter Institute and attend an Illinois Chamber of Commerce lunch in Cbicaeo Thursday. Benson said present farm problems have been building up for 10 years and cannot be solved overnight. "We can pull no magic rabbits from the hat no administration can." he said. "But we are going in the right direction." Benson said some opponents of the GOP farm program are "more interested in administer ing a sedative rather than a cure." "There are those who have nothing more to offer than going back again tc the same weary programs that already have brought so much grief, and so much of the cost-price squeeze, poon farmers," he said. Family Farm Changing The aericulture secretary said the fami'y farm is changing be cause a farmer no longer can op erate successfully with "one mule and one plow." He said modern equipment requires more land for efficient produc tion and this, in turn, reduces th number of farms. But he said more than eight million farmers left their farms riurin" Democratic administration-! from 1933 to 1952 while in the last two years the farm popu lation has increased. Resident Reports Two Cows Wounded This Year Ed Crowe, who lives on Sticky lane, Medford, reported yester day that hunters have wounded two of his cows which were grazing near his home. He said cows have been shot during the past two years. He said the land was posted. Florida College Turns Out Managers fo Team Lakeland, Fla. U.R) Many colleges turn out baseball play ers, but Florida Southern Col lege turns out business man agers for the game. Florida Southern will hold its eighth annual baseball admin istration school beginning Nov. 9. The intensive training con tinues through Dec. 1. "This course has been de signed by baseball men for base ball men," a college spokesman said. A comprehensive study of the National Association Agreement is included in the course, since all functions of club, manage ment are based upon the rules and regulations of the agree ment. Students also consider play er contracts and paper work, tickets and tax laws, legal re sponsibility and insurance, finances, accounting, payroll system, and park maintenance. The study of daily game op erations includes talks about stadium personnel, reserved and box seat sales, ball boys, parking problems, and police protection. Thief Takes $647 As Shoppers Watch Great Falls, Mont. (U.R) A thief managed to steal 647 silver dollars from a downtown win dow display, while two window shoppers looked on. The onlookers saw two hands reach through the back curtains again and again to scoop up the money, which was part of a dis play of one thousand of the "cartwheels." Thinking the hands belonged to a store employee, they did not report the incident for sev eral hours. By then, the collec tor of silver dollars was well on his way with loot weighing about 40 pounds.

The high sources said the War saw regime had drawn a stern rebuke from the Kremlin for "sloppy" handling of the Poznan riot trials. News dispatches from Poland indicated the trials have not fol lowed the usual pattern of the Communist "show trials." De fendants have recanted confes sions and have countered with charges of police brutality. Iron Curtain sources said Rus sia criticized conduct of the trials on the ground that they are undermining Communist dis cipline and control in the satel lite states. Denounce Police Methods Three men on trial at Poznan on charges of murdering a secu rity guard electrified the court with open denunciation of police methods. The prosecutor himself refused to ask for the death pen alty and announced an investi gation of police brutality was be ing made. The reliable Paris newspaper Le Monde Tuesday reported Pol ish Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz and Marshal Konstantin Rokos sovsky, the Red army veteran who is Poland's defense minis ter,, are feuding over the prog ress of the "deStalinization pro gram" in the Soviet satellite. Cyrankiewicz was said to fa vor a speedup of the liberaliza tion program while Rokossovsky wants to keep the brakes on. Cyrankiewicz is regarded as comparatively "easy going." Ro kossovsky is an iron-fisted Com munist military man with blind obedience to the party. Inmates. Riot Letter Urges Rapid Claiming of Sox Rutland, Vt. (U.R) Two Ver mont county agents maintained their reputations for honesty by inserting the following notice in the Rutland County Exten sion Service newsletter: "A party or parties unknown left three pair of sox in the ex tension office. If you have to search the house for more than an hour for a clean pair, these may be yours. "Please claim as soon as pos sible as they fit both county agents!" Le Monde, in a dispatch from Poznan, said Poland s internal situation had become even more serious than it was when Poz nan workers staged their three day "food and freedom" rebel lion last June. Dispatches from Poznan Tues day reported that young inmates of a correctional institution near the city broke out and rioted through the streets shouting for "freedom for our brothers from Poznan trials." The Poznan trials opened last Thursday. Three men were ac cused of murder, and a total of 22 of lesser crimes.
