Park Visitors
Take Quakes as
'Big Adventure'
Yellowstone -TPB- Yellow
stone National Park visitors j
accepted a series of earth- j
quakes which shook the park
Monday night and Tuesday as
a "big adventure," according
to Superintendent L. A. Gar
rison. The first and worst shock
hit Yellowstone at 10:40 p.m.
(p.s.t.) Monday. Others of
lessening severity continued
every half hour.
"But they are very, verjr
light." and most persons don't
notice them. Garrison said.
Biggest Attraction
The quakes, the Park Serv
ice insisted, were being
treated as the biggest added
attraction staged during the
park's 87 years as the nation's
oldest playground.
Damage to park facilities,
natural and manmade, was
written off as minor. Hardest
hit was Old Faithful Inn at
Old Faithful Geyser. The
geyser continued, to spout
every 63 minutes. It was not
roped off, as was reported.
- Only one person was in
jured, according to the of-
ficial count. An uniaemuiea
woman broke her ankle as
she ran outside when the first
and hardest quake hit her
hotel.
Most persons, Garrison said,
woke - with the first earth
quake. Then they stayed up
through the night to compare
reactions.
The park's 12 hotels and
motels made the night one
long coffee hour.
Old Faithful Inn was closed
when the first shock broke
pipelines in the sprawling
structure. The entire inn was
; closed during the day because
: of water damage and fallen
: plaster. But one wing was
' opened Tuesday evening to
accommodate 300 to 350
guests.

Editor's note: Mrs. Clarence D.

those camped between the Madi

From a hospital bed in Bozeman,

On Labor

Senate conferees were report-1 cotts-. The House Landrum-

meeting on the labor reform
bill.
Senate Republican Leader
Everett M. Dirksen (111.) gave
the report to newsmen as he
left the conference commit
tee early to attend the open
ing of the Senate session.
The conferees were taking
up non-controversial issues
first in their effort to hammer
out a compromise between trie
House and Senate bills. Dirk
sen said the meeting would
continue all day.
Auspicious Start
They made an auspicious
start late Tuesday by agree
ing quickly on a "bill of
rights" provision for rank-and-file
union members. They
also were in accord on report
ing requirements for labor
unions.
There was little difference
in these provisions, however,
in the reform bills originally
passed by the Senate and
House. The true test will
come when the conferees
tackle the big issues.
But for the time being the
lawmakers expressed en
couragement over the results.
End of Week Goal
Chairman Graham A. Bar
den (D-N.C.) of the House
Larbor conferees, said he
hoped the committee could
reach agreement on a com
promise by the end of the
week. He said he saw no rea
son for any deadlock as some
key Democrats predicted dur
ing the recent Senate debate.
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D
Mass.), author of the Senate's
Kennedy-Ervin Bill, declared:
"We're making progress."

vision thing (antenna) fell off
and hit me.
'A Thousand Winds'
"There was a huge noise. It
sounded like a thousand
winds going -through a thou
sand trees. But not a tree was
moving.
"Then something struck the
trailer and pushed it against
a tree. A side and the end of
the trailer fell out. And my
husband was gone.
"Then I fell out.
"It was horrible. Children
wTere screaming and crying
for their mothers. And hus
bands were begging their
wives to answer.
'Someone wa- screaming
for help from someone who
could swim. I looked where
there had been trailers and
1 tents. There weren't any."
Mrs. Scott explained that
she and her husband, Clar
ence, 59, had come to Yel
lowstone for the camping and
fishing. The place they picked
to park their trailer is one of
the best and most famous fish
ing spots in the Northwest.
Although Mrs. Scott could
not tell at the time she was
thrown from her trailer, a
large part of an 8,000-foot
mountain thundered down
into the river. The resulting
splash shot sheets of water
for hundreds of yards, prob
ably explaining the call for
a swimmer that Mrs. Scott re
ported. Clothes Torn Off
The tremendous whoosh of
air caused by the rushing
rocks, plus the high-powered
jets of water squirted from
the river tore the clothes off
people nearby.
In the midst of this chaos,
despite the pitch black of the
night, Mrs. Scott made con
tact with her husband, who
was injured more seriously
than she.
"I found him wandering
around. He had been in the
mud under a tree and had
managed to get free.
We started walking. We
went past one woman whose
leg was sticking up in the air.
I asked her if I could help.
She said her leg was broken.
I didn't see anybody dead
that I knew was dead, but of
course there was a lot I
couldn't see.
"We got in someone's car
and went to high ground. We
waited there until daybreak.
But by then Mr. Scott was too
tired to talk to me."
The Scotts were taken to
Bozeman, 60 miles away,
where both were hospitalized.
Mrs. Scott was not seriously
injured, suffering from shock
and bruises. Her husband had
undetermined injuries.

is one of the greatest assets that an advertiser could ever
want. And it is one of the big reasons why advertisers
