Taaing the drive from Ocean

well pmted on the magnificent

fti ak LP the a'erf salt air at
Eoi.er bey, frepce bay, Whaie

Aga'e beach.
A' ir g highway 1(71 you will
find escape hatches from people
in s'-irvs of state parks, strung
out like hearts on the eiiS-hug-K?ng

unavoidably atuck with people,
but this need be only a brief
interlude before you will soon
be plunging into the wilderness
of the upper McKenzie river and
the Three Sisters country of the
lava-crusted high Cascades.
Highway 126 out of Eugene
follows the McKenzie, certainly
one of the world's most beauti
ful fast-water fishing streams.
The highway la closed in late
fall by heavy snows in the up
per elevations, but a new ail
year road is expected to bridge
the winter-blocked gap by 1958.
With advance reservations,
you caa arrange to spend a
wek in this wilderness region,
which offers fine fishing, swim
ming (in a heated pool at Bel
knap ssrings), a vast recreation
area, mountain climbing and
even an airport for those in a
burr; to escape people.

Trend To Spend for
Services To Durable
Goods Said Noticed
t
The Oregon State Motor association's white mntorlog car
pauaes beside the nave-washed rocks of Neptune state
park, not far from start of cross-state, trip.
As you leave the western
slopes of the upper McKenzie
and climb through the pass
under watohful white faces of
the Three Sisters, you emerge
In a Stygian wilderness, a place
seemingly abandoned by God
and man and left frozen in
time.
Tne glacier-carved Sister
peaks look down on lava beds
that were rivera of molten rock
not much more than 1000 years
ago. Here, devoid of vegetation,
and seemingly of all life, are
the most imposing sheets of re
cent lava Hows in the nation.
Old nest Lives
As you roll toward Bend past
this geological wonderland, you
are entering the cowboy west,
a badlands of ancient lakes and
rivers; a barren uplands of sage
and tumbleweeds. skirted by lush
green valleys slaked by the
Deschutes and Metoliua rivers.
This is the land of big skies
and ranches that stretch beyond
the horizon. It Is the land of
the screaming pine tree head
saw; of potato growers and
quarter horses; it is a place of
new power projects; of arrow
straight highways and clean
cities.
From the Sisters-Bend-Red
mond triangle, a labyrinth of
trips offers escape hatches from
people. There is a mile-long
lava tunnel at Lava Cave state
park; there are Suttle and Blue
lakes resting in sky-blown cra
ters and featuring ocean-blue
waters; there is the Metolius
river, certainly one of the
strangest rivers of a strange
land; there is a trip over Cen
tury drive to Bachelor moun
tain, where ski slopes run in
winter; there is Newberry cra
ter with its Pliocene geological
sights similar to Mauna Loa
and Mt. Etna and offering at
the rim zenith the panorama
of the high Cascades from Mt.
St. Helens in Washington to Mt.
Shasta in California.
From Redm nd, you turn east
along highway 26 to Prineville
and head toward Mitchell, place
of Cash floods and painted des
erts Ogden Explored Area
It looks much the same as It
did when first explored by the
London-educated Peter Skene
Ogden. But eons ago say 200,
OUO.000 years before the fur
trappers and mountain men
marine life swam over the
Crook-Grant county highlands of
the Ochoco national forest. Here
clam reefs have been found on
mountaintops, there deposited
during the dark history of Pale
ozoic time. Near John Day is a
prehistoric nest of fossils so
well known that the town and
its rarities out of the days of
the earth's youth stand like syn
onyms. And here in the days of living
man's youth, Indians prowled in
a fearsome way. Today, the
highway follows the canyons of
the John Day river, where pali
sades cut on a tighter scale
than the gorge of the Columbia
loom over the traveler and the
Blue mountains lie in ambush
ahead.
When the land levels off out
of the Ma)jieur national forest,
the motorist finds green man
fed lowland areas and will even
se an occasional cowboy and
his herd. As the highway turns
southward out of the dry and
rock-barbed uplands toward
Vale and the irrigated beet
sugar lands of the Idaho border
country in- northern Malheur
county, the moist coast lands
and even the high Cascades
seem like weeks, rather than a
short two-day drive away.
You have come across the
heartland of Oregon to the Snake
river through a sometimes lone
ly but always spiendorous land.

I not Italy. Why shouldn't they
' take tlie responsibility? Every
j time we get one of these guys it
means extra police, extra work,
extra money to watch them."
Italy certainly does have a
'Who's Who" of American under-world
characters. First lord
is Charles (Lucky) Luciano,
thrown out of the United States
in 1946 while still serving time
on a Sing Sing sentence.
Others include Joe "Little
Snowdrop" Pici of Pittsburgh,
j Giuseppe ''Big Mike" Spinella
! and "Charley the Collector" Car-
rollo, late of Kansas City, Ralph
Ligorio, one time Luciano aide,
: and Frank Frigenti, who com
; plains "All I did was kill my
mother-in-law and you should get
ja medal for shooting mothers-in-law
like mine."
The police keep a day and
I night watch oa this alumni as
sociation. Most are restricted to
j living in certain areas. Many
J have been unable to get work.
What's worse, the boys don't
seem to get on among them
selves. Luciano, his pals say, has
j "gone snob." He lives in a
I swank Naples penthouse with
his "fiancee," pretty ex-dancer
Igla Lissone.
i Asked if he planned to meet
'Joe Adonis when "Gentleman
Joe" sailed into Naples on de
portation three years ago. Lucky
snaried: "Nah. I ain't gonna meet
. no boat. I got nothing in com
; mon with guys like that."
Liguori modestly told Roman
admirers he was a lieutenant in
Luciano's army. Luciano sneer
ed. "If I had a army, that guy
: wouldn't even of been a private."
J Tilings got so tough that a
Roman priest, Father Michael
Blandine, started a home for
old gangsters in 1954 in a villa
30 miles from Rome. Luciano
gave financial backing, explain
ing "I always help good charit
able projects."

BY ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York W Americans
somehow adopt patterns of be
havior in their spending that
make for def
inite trends
once they get
under way.
Just now the
e c o n omists
n o t e a trend
toward spend
ing of the fam
ily dollar resi
due in services
of durable
timer fcaizer goods.
Back in 1955 the trend was
toward durable. That was the
big auto year. Also big stuff for
appliances.
Now while the payments still
are being made on the 1955 auto
the demand for new cars hasn't
risen as much as the auto in;
dustry had anticipated.
Paying for Autos on Road
What isn't going into autos is
going to pay for the ones on the
road and into services that in-
! - aft, r-. Ural
volve in part the use of those
autos for travel.
People are spending money to
get those cars fixed tip a serv
ice in the regular use of the
term. Then there's the vacation.
This year it's going to be longer
and farther from home.
Many other services enter the
picture. More people are visit
ing their dentist and their doctor.
A few more might be going
to their lawyers, perhaps draw
ing up a will now that they have
a bit of money in the bank or
in stocks.
There are many other services,
i including the movies and shows,
dry cleaners, lanudries, and
: utilities gen erally. Of course,
j there's maid service and more
people are spending money on
i maids to do their housework,
j Adds Up To Big Item
This all adds up to a big item.
So far in 1957 the natiori has
been spending at an annual rate
'of nearly S103 billion for serv
; ices, more than $6 billion above
: tlie annual rate of a year ago.w)
This big item helps bolster the
Lasl of Nazi War
Criminals Released
Werl. Germany .in The last
three Nazi war criminals were
released from the British war
crimes prison here Tuesday and
the prison closed.
The prison at one time held
249 Germans convicted by Brit
ish tribunals of war crimes, in
cluding former Luftwaffe Mar
shal Albert Kesselring.
The United States still holds
24Tvar criminals in its prison at
Landsberg and the French have
three in Wittich Prison.
Nation's Hog Herds Said Free of Disease
economy. Economists note that
while employment is manufact
uring is declining moderately, it
is rising in the service industries.
This is seen as another step
of the little man to improve his
standard of living. While he's
spending money for services and
saying up his bills, he's becoming
a potential customer for durable
goods later on.
That's what the automobile
and applance makers are bank
ing on. Incidentally last week
the hot weather boomed sales of
air conditioners, which indicates
that there still is money for dur
able goods. All that is needed is
to stir up the demand.
Chicago IP The Ameri
can Veterinary Medical associ
ation reported that the nation's
hog herds have been free of
vesicular exanthema for nearly
a year.
AVMA officials said the last
case of the ailment, which re
sembles foot and mouth disease,
was reported in June, 1956. but
warned that it might reappear
The disease first was reported
from California in 1951 and then
reached a peak two years later
when more than 150,000 herds
were infected.
To avoid infection, hog farm
ers should stop feeding uncook
ed garbage to their herds, of
ficials said. Vaccines are im
practical, they said, because the
seven types of virus causing the
ailment do not cross-immunize.
They recommended that if the
disease reappears all exposed
animals should be destroyed and
rigid quarantines set to prevent
a major outbreak.
Oregon Suicide Safe
Lowest in History
Portland '1! Oregon's sui
cide rate was tlie lowest in re
corded history in 1956, tlie SVa'.fr
Board of Health said today. Aj
total of 205 suicides were report
ed, or 11.8 deaths from this cauf(
for each 100,000 persons.
Clara Barton, founder of the
American Red Cross, was born
in Oxford, Mass.
