Writer Foiled in Attempt To Test Survival in Wilderness By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington With war clouds seemingly just over the horizon all summer-pos sibly c 1 o uds containing a t o m i c radia tion fall - out - the little woman began voicing an in teresting sur vival o f t h e fittest theory for the atomic A Root. Smiio age. It was that only those fit to live in the wilderness might survive a bombing at tack designed to level the in dustrial and governmental centers of American might and power. That those of us accustomed to the comforts of urban living might not survive in the hinterland, even if we succeeded in es caping the bombs and the fall out. Just the common rigors of living outdoors would get us in the end. So we borrowed a tent, sleeping bags, cooking gear, loaded the family bus with canned food and rugged cloth ing, and headed for the At lantic coast to see if we could survive a week of outdoor living in mid-September. To one whose sole exploit Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Knight and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith were hosts to Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Palmer and son, Ben, of Tehachapi, Calif., re cently. The three families gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Bell in Med ford for a family reunion. The Bob Bottels of O'Brien have returned from a two weeks vacation in California.

The Kerby PTA will hold its first meeting' Thursday, Sept. 18, when the panel of new teachers will be intro duced, according to Mrs. Ron ald Prather, president. Thornton Points to Domestic Problems Salem -(UPD- Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton, who seeks the congressional seat held by Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) said Monday night that unemployment and in flation were the country's top domestic problems. Thornton told the Democra tic club at the Ardenwald Community House that the administration and Congress both failed to take decisive action on the high cost of liv ing. "In 1947 the Republican 80th Congress removed all controls on prices, claiming that costs wouldn't go up and that inflation could be con trolled by bank credits," he said. He said Norblad went along with this program and voted against "adequate con trols" against inflation.

Philip Crosby To Wed Showgirl Hollywood-(UPD-Philip Cros by, 23, son. of crooner Bing Crosby, plans to follow his twin, Dennis, into matrimony soon with Las Vegas showgirl Sandra Drummond, 20. Bob Crosby, Philip's uncle, disclosed Monday night that the couple would be married after Miss Drummond has taken instruction in the Rom an Catholic faith. Young Crosby met the at tractive dancer at the Tropi- cana where Dennis Crosby claimed another showgirl, Pat Sheehan, as his wife in a sur prise ceremony last May. Philip said he planned to give up school at Washington State college, where he had enrolled for the fall semester, to get a job to support his wife. There were reports last June that Philip was squiring the dancer around the glitter ing Las Vegas Strip but the possibility of marriage was ruled out at that time. The de cision to put off marriage un til Miss Drummond becomes a member of the Roman Cath olic church would avoid the troubles of Dennis and his wife, i They were married between the acts at the Gretna Green Wedding Chapel. Next day they found they had been married by a Pro testant minister and not by a justice of the peace. Kayak Travel Fun for Pair Portland (UPD A water cruise for two from Canada to South America has its ups and downs. Particularly if you're traveling by kayak. But John Braggins, 24, and Peter Edwards, 25, said Mon day that so far their kayak trip is great fun. They ar rived in Portland Monday on the Willamette river for a brief stopover. Braggins said they left Vic toria, B.C., 24 days ago. They appeared at the mouth of the Columbia river after skim ming through the Strait of Juan de Fuca and down the coast. The trip from Astoria to Portland took four days. Braggins said they both wanted to see the Pacific coast and South America but couldn't afford a big boat, hence the kayak. Braggins is an ex-merchant mariner and Edwards a for mer cab driver. Edwards left London for Canada three years ago and Braggins was originally from Wales. They said they planned to continue up the Willamette to Eugene and from there they intended to portage where necessary and eventually get back to the coast somewhere in California. Zaragoza, Spain -(UPD- Film star George Sanders, 52, and Benita Hume, widow of the late actor Ronald Colman, will be married within the next six months. in the wilderness consisted of passing a 14 - mile hike test two decades ago with the Boy Scouts, and sleeping over night in the woods of central Pennsylvania before hiking homeward, this decision was taken without noticeable ap prehension. Library Books Browsed . But the female of the spe cies, more conscious ever of details, began to quake at the realities of the problem of no running water, etc. The pub lic library, well stocked with books on camping, allayed the more common fears by il lustrating what to do about this and that in satisfying the elemental needs of a family living outdoors. Friends who slept over night on the lengthy strip of beach owned by the state of Deleware encouraged us in that direction, and off we went. Unlike the West and Alas ka, the East is not blessed with vast public lands on which its teeming millions can play. These rare public beach es in Deleware some 20 miles long, wide and sandy, offered a rare opportunity to com mune with nature. But' on each of the recrea tion areas the sign said vary bluntly: No camping. We dis covered that the state has re stricted, tent pitching to two spots, neither of which is in sight of the ocean. For $2 a day or $12 a week, a tent site right next to somebody else's is all your s. No trees, no ocean, just regulated camp life. Made Wrong Turn We kept going. That is un til the old man made a wrong turn into a likely looking spot and got up to his hub in sand. The Coast Guard came to the rescue with truck and rope. Luckily this wasn't the real evacuation of the cities, or the boys would have been guarding the coast. Maryland, we speculated, might be more liberal in its camping laws, so we drove over the state line still look in e for a snot to set up house- keeDintr bv the do undine breakers. Soon we found it, a Dlace where no siens were posted against camping and no houses had been built by enterprising real estate de velopers. . But the flv-bv-nifiht camp ers had been there. No place short of the city dump con tained more tin cans than this stretch of otherwise scenic Atlantic beach. The state didn't own the beach, and developers hadn't protected it from litterbugs. Proved Too Wild It was nearly sundown by the time we had discovered that one last resort, a wilder ness area listed on the map, turned out to be nothing but marshland. It was a little too wild. Soon we were in the outskirts of Ocean City, Md. W insDected the city owned beach in the outskirts arid found it clean but off limits to everything from un leashed dogs to citizens carry ing bottles. We turned back, not certain where we might rest our heads - a vexing situ ation every evacuee must surely face sooner or later. Finally, we found the spot. Th f . ct that a perfectly agreeable gentleman from Ar kansas had built a swell mo tel. eauiDDed with swimming pool, on the site didn't bother us a bit by then - and less so as the sunny days passed dur ing our stay there. We hoDed more fervently that the peacemakers are suc cessful, for nothine in our trek, our capitulation to com fort, persuaded us that we could survive a real test. Neuberger Receives Eisenhower Pens Portland-The White House has sent to Sen. Richard L. Neuberger both pens with which President Eisenhower signed into law on Aug. 23 the Klamath Indian Reserva tion Purchase bill, which the Oregon senator sponsored in the Senate at the request of the national administration. Neuberger announced to day that he plans to present the pens to groups which he feels "will preserve them in perpetuity for the people of our state and of the Klamath basin.' - One pen, the senator said, will go to the Oregon Histori cal society and the other to the Klamath Cpunty library. Neuberger will formally pre sent the pens at a dinner in his honor, now scheduled to be held in Klamath Falls on Oct. 8. J fir3r?
