. When . Aunt Agnes and the
kids arrive from Kansas this
summer you can heap frosting
on their cake if you follow this
foolproof AAA motorlog recipe.
Take a day or two or three-
whatever you can manage
and head for the Long Beach
Peninsula. Located on the
southwestern tip of Washing
ton, this stretch of beach long
has been famous among clam
afficionados as an outstanding
hunting ground of the delect
able razor clam. But there is
another, usually overlooked,
hunting preserve here that
should appeal to the latent in
terior decorator in most wom
ena . humdinger of a spot
that draws driftwood and fre
quently glass floats as picnics
attract yellowjacketsl . '
The peninsula is about a
three-hour drive from Portland
and there is a choice of routes.
We recommend the Oregon
drive to Astoria Sunset High
way for speed, Columbia River
for scenery then across the
mouth of the Columbia by ferry
to Megler. It's just a few short
miles around Baker s Bay . to
the Long Beach Peninsula.
But when time is an import
ant factor, you may find it ad
visable to cross the Interstate
Bridge to Vancouver and drive
down the Washington side of
the Columbia River. Popularity

There's no trick at all to find

ment Jetty Collects Driftwood
From here the long, thin arm
of the North Jetty reaches out
into the Pacific and with the
aid Of tides and the Columbia
River current collects about
its base magnificent heaps of
gnarled, twisted, sea and sun
silvered logs and roots, small
and mammoth.
Here is the huntinglimited
only by imagination, to delight
the artist, the collector, the
decorator and thebargain
hunter. (These polished, grace
ful, sometimes ludicrous, crea
tions of nature bring fantastic
prices even in cities on the
coast.) Just wait till Aunt
Agnes shows her bridge club
back in Kansas the piece of
driftwood or glass ball she
discovered HERSELF!
While there have been
ghastly crimes committed in
the name of driftwood decor,
there is frequent handsome evi
dence of its versatility. To the
artist and to most the piece
is beauty in itself, complete.
Its popularity in flower ar
rangements can be seen a t
any show.
As a single point of interest
on a brick fireplace wall, for
example, it can be striking. .
There is sharp divergence
among driftwood collectors as
to its ultimate use.
To the utilitarian type, the
stuff is worthless if it can't be
transformed into a lamp base
or coffee table pedestal.
The other camp . maintains
that while there is an occas
sional creation of merit along
these lines, on the whole such
desecration is on a par with
Venus' statuettes with a clock
in the stomach! This latter
camp has equally strong feel
ings on the subject of painting,
lacquering, varnishing or any
other means of defacing the na
tural gray-silver sheen.
The temptation to pile the
car high with driftwood ob
iects d'art is a Dowerful one.
And the problem of what to do
witn it an, once home, is some
times a knotty one. .

Resentment .
The President caused disap
appointment and resentment
among some leaders in the
fight for Alaskan statehood by
not inviting them to the
White House to watch him
sign the legislation. White
House aides explained that
the President hasn't had such
a bill-signing ceremony for
some time. He cut them out
because they were time-consuming
and presented a prob
lem of where to draw the line
if any were held.
But the President did mark
the occasion by calling in
newsmen and photographers
to cover the signing. It was
the only , time this year he
had done even that.
He also sent to Juneau for
display in the Alaskan State
House one of the four pens he
used in signing the bill.
Straws in Wind t. dams
Straws in the wind as to
the future of top Presiden
tial Aide Sherman Adams.
White House sources deny
reports he will resign in a
reasonable length of time
after Congress adjourns.
He and Mrs." Adams were
next ranking guests to Vice
President and Mrs. Richard
M. Nixon at a dinner given by
Italian Premier Amintore
Fanfani here.
Adams' reported reply to
a reference at a social occasion
to resignation talk was a
cheerful: "Do I look like a
man about to resign?"
The three leading Repub
lican election campaign strate
gists called in a group on
Adams one morning at 7:45
a.m. (EDT). They were GOP
National Chairman Meadle
Alcorn, Sen. Andrew F.
Schoeppel (Kan.), and Rep.
Richard M. Simpson (Pa.).
Schoeppel and Simpson are
chairmen of the Senate and
House GOP campaign com
mittees, respectively.
Expensive Golf Clubs
Those expensive golf clubs
given Adams by personal
friend Sam Goldstein, Massa
chusetts theater chain owner,
was a gift to the President.
Eisenhower gave the bag,
with engraved metal plate
"To S.A. from D.D.E." as a
Christmas present in 1956.
The President's military
training of keeping things
moving on schedule was evi
denced when he bid Fanfani
goodbye after a White House
luncheon. When Fanfani's
limousine wasn't called up to
the north portico as soon as
he thought, it should have
been, the President stepped
over to a doorman and direct
ed that the car be driven up.
Guests at the stag lunch
eon, with one exception, had
limousines with liveried
chauffers. The .first guest to
leave rode in an old Plymouth
station wagon driven by a
member of his office staff
who wore a business suit.
The guest was . sprightly,
90-year-old Theodore Francis
Green, the Democratic Chair
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations committee. Although
a millionaire and one of the
wealthiest members of the
Senate, Green doesn't believe
in expensive personal trans
portation. He frequently rides
streetcars or walks in going to

France's 'Forgotten War Grinds'
On In Algeria, Left by World
Algiers (UPD France's
"forgotten war" in Algeria
grinds on grimly, practically
ignored by the world whose
attention is held captive by
summit diplomacy and tne
Middle East crisis.
But today, as they have al
most every day since Nov. 1,
1954, when Algerian national
ism exploded into organized
armed revolt, French patrols
fanned out across the wild
regions they ; now call "the
rotten zones."
In these areas (there are
reported to be five scattered
across Algeria and covering
hundreds of square miles of
territory) the French units
know that rebel influence is
strong, surrounding them like
a silent sea.
In these zones shadowy
guerrila bands are hidden,
poised to strike savagely, then
melt back into the wilderness.
The week of July 27, as it
has almost every week for
more than 43 months, the
French Supreme Command in
Algiers issued its official
count of rebels killed through
out the territory for the past
seven days.
Taking More Prisoners
"From July 21 to 27," the
communique read, "479 rebels
were killed and 164 captured
in Algeria." The previous
week's totals were: 498 killed,
For the past two years the
rebel dead announced by the
French week have varied
around the present figure.
Last summer the count often
rose to more than 1,000 men
wiped out, at other times it
has fallen to about 300.
But never before, the
French say, has the number of
prisoners taken been so high,
week in, week out.
They claim this means the
rebels are running low on
fighting manpower, that they
are recruiting mostly battle
shy teen-age youths who are
easily demoralized, and that
the appeals Gen. Charles de
Gaulle has launched to all
Algerians are heard in the
rebel ranks.
But leaders of the main
rebel organization, called
FLN, scoff at this as "French
propaganda." They say 90 per
cent of Algeria's Moslems are
behind the nationalists fight
ers and that the French can
give up all hope of crushing
them by military force.
Whether the oft-repeated
French claims are now coming
true, whether the FLN's state
ments are bravado or simple
fact, one thing is sure: day
after day the fighting con
tinues and men die.
Present estimates of full
time rebel fighting strength
number their troops at about
40,000 men. About 60,000

Stroke Won't Cancel
Builder's Contract
Bill Dryer has suffered a
stroke of paralysis. He is a
well ' known building con
tractor in the corr-munity and
the quality of the work done
by his workmen has made
him much sought after as a
home builder. Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd Newhouse, after years
of dreaming and planning,
had contracted with Dryer
for the construction of a home
one week before his stroke.
Dryer wants to get out of
the contract. He claims that
the stroke is sufficient reason
for him to be excused from
going ahead with the contract.
Is he right in his contention?
Can Expect Performance
No. In the ordinary build
ing contract, it is not contem
plated that the building
should be the product of the
contractor's own personal la
bor or skill. His paralysis will
not prevent his workmen
from going ahead with the
construction, or his arrang
ing with another builder to
take over the contract.
The Newhouses have a right
to expect performance after
they, have negotiated with
Dryer and entered into a
written contract with him by
which Dryer was to lo the
construction and they were to
pay him a certain sum for
that construction. Both par
ties knew at the time of the
contracting that illness or ac
cident might befall either

May Terminate Contract
Of course, if the parties
agree at any time that they
will terminate the contract,
they may do so. Or by agree

By no means should the
above be taken to mean that
there are never legal justifi

contract because of facts that
arise that make it impossible.
For instance, if a builder had
agreed to construct a house
