Writer Foiled in Attempt To

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.

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.

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

the Klamath Indian Reserva

Neuberger announced to

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
