Let ft b reported " (here, finally and irrevocably - that Crater Lake is not in Cal- jffornia. We reached it by driv- png north from Ashland. And a very pleasant drive it was on warm, sunny morn- ing. There are several camp ing spots along th stretch of state Highway No. (2 between .Wedford nd Crat Lake Park. t On the way v toooed for ffunch at Ca.fty State Park on e upper Rogue. Picnie and am ping sites, jrrcindjng na na! forest camps ars much plentiful on the west ar- iroaches to Crater Lake Park than on those from the south and north 1 As for tie lake itsetf. this matured wonder oi the Oregon aoes is really beyond any escnption. It is even bluer the photographs m the tjonal slicks. As a result, it has attracted mterstete travelers who ve time to spare to leave the am routes. We were lucky have a suggestion from the superintendent. Thomas Williams, that we make earep on Lost Creek, on the , spar of the now tightly-dosed : tfast Entrance highway. Iciwfc Otas Ideal Ik o if ar the overnight camper who complains that the orda pary public campground packs lamuies more tightly thai a veterans subdivision, the Lost Caeek camp is an ideal van tage point from which to enjoy Crater Lake. We spent one rest day there, just three miles from the Rim drive around the lake and only 13 miles from the Rim Village, at which are lo cated such facilities of eivfliza tion as the celebrated Crater Lake lodge, a cafeteria which serves as a warming hut right through the winter of 20-foot snowfalls, the more congested campgrounds, and other post card features or tne crater s rim. We were treated to a 36-mile circumference of the Rim drive under the personal guid a nee of District Chief Ranger Robert R. (Slim) Mabery. There we saw the first bull dozer bites in the national park service's "Mission 66 to im prove tourist facilities. There will be, by the 1958 summer vacation season, a series of a half dozen new picnic sites around the beautifully-surfaced Rim drive. Mission 68, which k the fed eral government's propaganda term for its long over-due pro gram to rehabilitate the na tional parks, has taken notice of the shortage of overnight ac commodations at Crater Lake. A spacious new campground and a trailer park were, in August, 1957, nearing comple tion just southeast of the South Entrance on state highway No. 62. By this summer there will be scores of comfortable camp ing spaces at this site (the Mazama campground serviced by bard-surfaced roads and the most modern arodliary build ings (showers, laundry, toilet facilities). We daresay that there will stiM be a number of campers who, -as we, will still prefer the remote exdusiveness of the Lost Creek camp, where the eight sites existing in the sum mer of 1957 will be increased to IS by this summer season. Here, far off the beaten path. the son shines benignly on the pine forest; Lost Creek sup plies a challenging, if not rich ly-infested 'fishery; and there is scarcely ever the sound of an exhaust. . . Foarth Day To Hart tain, via Klamath Falls, Mer- rffl, Lakeview and Plash 276 This was the fourth day of travel. Our eight-days-around-the-ctate can (we proved it) be executed in that time or even less. It is entirely possible to circwmiavigate the state in one week's vacation.

We strike off now into east ern Oregon and the big, vacant places on the road map. The highway from Klamath Falls through Lakeview is fast and carefree. At the latter junction we debated the ad visability of traveling an extra 150 hard-surfaced miles through Burns in order to reach Frenchglen; but, finally, decided on the direct route over the Hart Mountain plat eau. The road from Lakeview to Adel, through the Warner Can yon winter sports area and along well-fished Camas Creek, is a good one, the last paved road we were to feel in nearly a day. Plash Still Dnplosh Norm from Adel to Plush, the way skirts the marshy shores of Pelican, Crump and Hart lakes, jewels hi the Warner lake chain which lies at the base of Hart Mountain. These and the often-dry beds of Blue joint. Stone, Flagstaff, Mug wump, Campbell and Anderson lakes are what remain of the massive Lake Warner, which perhaps 10,000 years ago spread over the valley . Plush. Tumpmg-orr point ior the Hart Mountain trek, was, according to "Tarn McArthur, named for a 19th century ce lebrity of the Piute Indian tribe, who in turn owed his name to a crooked poker hand. He held a flush which was topped by a flush achieved on the draw by the dealer, and ever afterward he referred to the means of his downfal as the "plush." So there came to the Oregon, map another place name thati can be traced back to the pe- culiarity of Indian phonetics.; Phish does not appear to have' changed much since the time -of its hapless founder. There is a sharp climb ap -the rim of the plateau of the Hart Mountain National Ante-. -lope Refuge. A clear eye can pick out an occasional prong horned antelope in the sea of sagebrush. On the tableland some 15 miles or so from Plush is the oasis of well-tended stone, buildmgs housing the antelope refuge headquarters. It is well to check m here before ven turing farther along the virtu ally unmarked road that leads 48 miles on to Frenchglen.' Accommodations Fine I ay tne tame we arrive a at. me neaaquarxers vaooui t p.m.) we were willing to call; it a day, and we can recom- mend "highly the extraordi-f nary overnight accommoda-, tions available near there. We were directed to a se- duded glen about four miles; south of the headquarters sta-f tion, on the route to that cele-l brated summer gathering place of the Order of the Antelope the Blue Sky hotel. There; among the trembling (or quak-i ing) aspen, a stream invites overnight camping. And there; is, in addition, the incredible) luxury of a concrete-welled' hot, mineral bath. . The Bauers nlaneed in to en-' joy a family soaping, Japanese style. There was no greater pleasure in our eight days around the state.

Marks of Portland, said one of his charges had picked up a taste for human flesh on the way from Oregon to Newark, N.J., Tuesday. It happened in Chicago, he said. "I was trying to get the water pan from the cage when one of the beavers resented the intrusion and chewed my finger," Marks said. The 50-pound beavers are being exchanged for the Rus sian bear cubs in a deal ar ranged by U.S. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) and So viet Ambassador to the United States Mikhail Menshikov. Photographers Snubbed The so-called "cultural ex change" is scheduled to take place July 31 at the Belgian fair. Marks ran into more trou ble later when the beavers snubbed attempts to line them up for photographers. They hemmed and hawed about leaving their aluminum dog kennel cages to pose. Once outside, cameramen had a rough time finding suitable background to photograph the black-coated animals.

Rafael Trujillo Jr. of thee Dominican Repub lic sailed toward Acapulco to day, thinking "the worst" about the United States its newspapers, lawmakers and Army school. The dashing, 29-year-old general, made a colonel at 3 by decree of his daddy, Dom inican strongman Raefael Trujillo, took a parting broad side at the United States as he turned his one-shot "man of war" south. Filmland Loves Discussed Meeting with the Mexican press (he wouldn't see Ameri can newsmen), Trujillo dis cussed his filmland loves and told the world he thought the American press and lawmak ers were "liars." Asked" what he though of the United States, the gener ous general said: "I think the worst." "I don't know the origin of all my troubles in the United States but I think it was when I got angry about the words of a senator in Washington about the money I spent," Trujillo said. "The senator said I was spending the money from the Republic. When they attrib uted my money as coming from Washington, it was scan dalous and ridiculous. I think that there was a total of $600,000 from the United States to buy surplus mater ial. The agreement was signed in 1953. Those people (sena tors) are liars because I am spending my family fortune." It was Trujillo's penchant for plying beautiful actresses with rich gifts that attracted the attention of lawmakers in Washington. They wanted to know if he was using foreign aid funds earmarked for the Dominican Republic to buy gifts for actresses Kim Novak, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Col lins. Lie by Press Charged On attendance at the U. S. Army school at Ft. Leaven worth where he received a "certificate of attendance" only, the mustachioed, be ribboned general said: "The American press lied about the school when they said I was not passed. This is what happened. "It was an unfortunate man euver of the school. I was sick and it was necessary to leave the school for surgery and I was not informed that I would miss the tests. And since they didn t advise me I was unable to take the tests. "I didn't fail. I just didn't take the tests." I Four Men Drown At Brownlee Dam Boise, Idaho (UPD Four men were drowned at Brown lee dam on the Snake river between Idaho and Oregon to day, Morrison-Knudsen Co., the construction firm, an nounced. Company spokesmen said that first details . indicated that the drownings occurred when a small boat capsized in the dam's diversion tun nel. The dam is being built by Idaho Power company.

' Couple Decides To Give Children Away Singapore (UPD Jerome G. Forbes, 45, said today he and his wife have decided to give away their 10 children for adoption and start life afresh in Ceylon. Forbes, a former clerk, said he is unemployed and in poor health. He said the aid he re-, ceived from the social wel fare department here was not enough to maintain his big family.
