Melbourne !J.R) Hungari
an Olympic athletes, just arriv
ed from the strife in their home
land, angrily demanded Satur
day that the Communist Hun
gary flag flying t the entrance
of the Olympic village be torn
down.
Several youths among the 60

here by plane from Prague,
Czechoslovakia, on Saturday said
they would not return home
after the Olympics are over.
Many of them had engaged in
the street fighting in Budapest.
Promptly after their arrival,
marked by a huge welcome from

thrir officials the the Communist
Hungary flag be torn down and
replaced with a flag of free Hun

By Eugene
By JACK GAVETt
United Press Drama Editor
New York - (U.R) The Am
erican theater, struck a some
what belated but magnificent
blow in its own behalf last week
ith the production 'of Eugene
O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey
Into Night" after letting the
British furnish most of the
Broadway excitement for the
past month.
Thete is no doubt that this
play, written in 1940 but not
made public until this year,
ranks with the very best of
' O'Neill ' numerous works, and
there are those who already
hail it as his hest.' At any rate
the prize-givers won't have
much of a problem next spring.
Story of O'Neills
"Loiig Day's Journey Into
Nwht'' is a frankly autobiogra
phical work involving O'Neill
at the ae of 23. his famous
actor-fathrr. his mother and his
elder brother. It is a devastat
inely dramatic dissection of fa
mily' personality, and problems
which include miserliness, tub
erculosis, narcotics addiction,
heavy" drinking and two grown
sons who seem bound to end
-up as ne'er-do-wells.
Frederic March. Florence F.1
dridse. Jason Robards Jr., and
Bradford Dillman illuminate j
the three hours and CO minutes-
of tfcii nerve-wracking drama
of minnlcd lave and hate with
brilliant performances.
The O'Neill play makes up
fr larccly mediocre- American
contributions to the season so
" far. Last week's -"Auntie Maine"
is 3. big hit.' but it is really not
ciuch of a piece of writing and
leans heavlv on the talents and
popularity of its star. Rosalind
Russell.
- "Too Late The Phalarope"
was a duil dramatic effort and
closed after 36 performances.
"The Loud Red Patrick" stays
on as a modest comedy. Four
oU:cr American plays closed the
O week they opened because that
wss the fate thry deserved.

colors, emblazoned with the em

and with a black stripe running
diagonally across the flag.
After an hour-long discussion,

Loggers Album No. 2
Ralph Andrews' new "Glory
Days of Logging" is an album
of big-timber photographs from
the days when the donkey en
gine ruled the roost in the woods.
It was also the time of lowering
logs down dizzy inclines, and
when logs were sometimes can
nonaded down chutes at a hun
dred miles an hour to a back
water dump.
The lumber flume from the
backwoods sawmill, floating
boards, plank, dimension and
timbers to a carloading track,
was also a sight to make a rov
ing photographer cheer.
Hand logging on British Co
lumbia's mainland and island
coasts' also provided rousing
camera subjects, back before
World War I and in the 1920s.
Editor- Andrews has gathered
up the best views from many
eld collections of logging pho
tographs for his 1956 book. He
has also provided illustrations
for prose with the bark on from
the hands of Stewart Holbrook,
Paul Hosmer. and others. One

entitled "The Short Staker," is
included.
The Big Wheels
It is the scenes of big-wheel
logging that really send me on
a dream ride into the old days
in the timber. I drove two horses
on a set of stinger-tongue big
wheels in the summers 1910
through 1914 at McCloud in
Northern California. Then the
logging got steep and the slip
tongues with four horses per
set of wheels came in. Donkey
engine too. Here's how the sting
er went, as in the Lake States
since the 1880s and as illus
trated in "Glory Days of Log
ging." The teamster backed his set of
two towering wheels common
ly ten feet in diameter midway
over a load. Then he unloosed
the doubletrees and the team

defeat the Cleveland Browns,
21-7; the Los Angeles Rams
snapped a five -game losing
streak by downing the San
Francisco Forty-Niners, 30-6;
and rookie Hal Burnine's clutch
pass catching sparked the Phila
delphia Eagles to a 14-7 triumph
over the Pittsburgh Stcelers in
Sunday's other contests.
To Normal
Celebration
ball fans converged on down
town Corvallis. Traffic jammed
up for blocks and wildly shout
ing motorcades paraded through
the city.
But in spite of the general dis
order that reigned, no injuries
were reported.
Firemen Called
Observers said that it ap
peared every person in the city
who had a car was in on the
noise making. Those who didn't
have cars were piled on the
hoods and tops of the vehicles
belonging to their friends.
Firemen were called nut when
the celebrants started a bonfire
in the middle of one of the
town's busy intersections but no
damage was reported.

'Such a decision would have to
be made on the highest level,"
he said, meaning the Interna
tional Olympic Committee.
Meanwhile, from Eastern Eu
ropean refugees now living here
came word that many Hungari
an athletes plan to ask for poli
tical asylum in Australia.
"A team member told me in
our native tongue that there will
be many vacant seats on the
plane back to Hungary," said one
of these migrants.
Hungarian athletes, who re
quested that their names be kept
secret, told the dramatic story of
their flight from Hungary.
They told how thousands of
revolutionaries had lined the
roads begging the athletes to
"tell the world everything about
what we are doing."
Dramatic Scenes
There were dramatic scenes at
Essendon airport as the awaiting

are no matinees and perform
ances start at 7:30 p.m. There
are two regular intermissions;
no dinner recesses as there
have been for three longer
O'Neill plays in the past.
long, light chain was secured,
and was halted.
One loader mounted the
springboard or Johnson board
that stuck backward from the
axle, then grabbed the upright'
pole handle. The loader swung
back on it with all his strength,
while driving his legs down on
the springboard with all his
weight. This would tilt the
tongue upward as the end of the
springboard was borne back
ward and down and rammed
into the ground, to prop the new
towering tongue. The long chain
dangled from pole top to ground.
When the heavy axle chain
was snaked under the load and
toggled, the team out in front
pulled the tongue forward and
down with the long, light chain.
The axle would turn forward
with the descent of the tongue
and the loading chain would
begin to wind on it.
When the tongue was brought
to a level with the top log of
tne load the winding would
have lifted the load enough to
ride in its sling under the axles.
The load's front end was secured
to the tongue. Then the pull to
the trail-road began.
Wild Wheels
The trail-road, roughly
swamped, wound down a slope,
with varying grades. There
were no brakes. A load riding
near balance would run up on
the horses. A load with tail drag
ging would make too heavy a
haul, most of all down on the
landing level. The skilled team
ster liked an almost free load.
He depended on his skill to guide
the wheels into roadside brush
when they had picked up speed,
and so slow them down.
When this did not work too
well, the horses were snapped
into a trot and guided for quick
zigzagging from one brush-piled
side of the road to the other. At
times the horses were forced
into a gallop, with the teamster
leaping to keep up with the team.

The Corvallis airport was
fogged in Saturday night, forc
ing the plane carrying the vic
torious team to land at Portland.
Chartered buses carried the
squad to Corvallis where a
group of 250 students had wait
ed patiently until after midnight
to greet the team. Cheers rang
out far into the morning in wel
come.
Demand
to Remain
Hungarians mingled freely with
the athletes, sobbing, kissing and
singing the Hungarian national
anthem. A elderly man unfurled
a Hungarian flag draped in
black.
One man was led way from
the airport and taken into cus
tody by police after having shout
ed "Go home, Ivan" at the Rus
sian delegation that had come to
welcome the Hungarians.
Mikhail Pesliak, assistant chief
of the Russian Olympic group,
and four other chain-smoking
Soviet officials nervously waited
in a corner of the terminal to
shake hands with the Hungarian
leaders.
But Hungarian officials, al
though aware the Russians were
waiting, curtly ordered the ath
letes to proceed to the Olympic
village. Pesliak and his group
left the airport without having
seen or spoken to a Hungarian.
Fcg Fails to Keep
Audience Away
A near-capacity crowd braved
the fog Saturday night for the
third performance of "The Devil
Passes" in the Footlighters thea
ter at the fairgrounds site.
Approximately 80 people were
in attendance.
The local theater group will
present the final three perform
ances of the play this Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Curtain
time is 8:30 p.m.
Mrs. Max Wimmer, Footlight
ers president, said the cast has
"smoothed out most of the rough
spots" noticeable on opening
night. She said the audience has
been enthusiastic and has also
seemed appreciative of the hot
coffee which is served at inter
mission. Flares at the theater driveway
have assisted theatergoers in
finding their way through the
fog. A "pilot car" operated by
Jerry Withers has been guiding
them from the highway to park
ing lots near the theater.

When World War II came, the

Angeles Rams ended a five
game losing streak Sunday by
rolling over their arch rivals,
the San Francisco Forty Niners.
30-6. before 69,828 fans at Me
morial coliseum.
Sunday's win gave Los An
geles a 2-5 record and moved
the club into a fourth-place
Western division tie with Green
Bay. It was the Forty Niners'
sixth loss in seven starts and
left them in sole possession of
the cellar spot.
Quarterback Billy' Wade
sparked a spirited attack that
saw the Rams score in every
period. Wade passed for two
touchdowns and completed nine
of 19 passes for 139 yards. Full
back Tank Younger, and backs
Tommy Wilson and Ron Waller
proved the stalwarts of the
Rams' ground attack.
The Rams played one of their
best games of the season on de
fense. San Francisco was held
to two field goals, both by end
Gordie Soltau from 17 and 14
yards out in the first half.
