Quotes From the News
By United Press International
West Yellowstone, Mont.-Madison County Sheriff V. H.
Eowman, speaking of the death toll of the earthquake and
massive landslide that are known to have killed at least 10
and possibly 12 vacationers:
"There might be 100 people under that slide or there
might be only a few. Probably we'll never know."
New York-Rodman Rockefeller, son of New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, explaining why he and his brother
Michael took no gifts with them as they left for Norway
to attend the wedding of their brother Steven to Anne Marie
Rasmussen:
"In our family, we always find out what they need and
then we act accordingly. You know what happens if you
don't do that. They get 27 ashtrays."
Tokyo-U. S. Army Maj. Gen. William Biddle, chief United
Nations command delegate on the Korea Military Armistice
Commission, demanding punishment for Red pilots who fired

Electric Car To Be Placed
On Market Within Year
Los Angeles (UPD A car
that uses no fuel but must be
plugged into an electric outlet
each night for recharging . . .
Another car that zips from
zero to 60 miles per hour in
five seconds with a kerosene
burning engine . . . An "air
car" that skims over land and
water with equal ease and no
danger of crashing.
Crazy dreams? By no means.
They're all ideas that manu
facturers are testing even now
to revolutionize private trans
portation.
Walt Woron, editor of Mo
tor Trend magazine, has sur
veyed the field and come up
with a time-table on when
these vehicles may be ready
for the public.
The first one is an electric
car - an idea which goes back
to grandpa's day. It got short
circuited early in life by the
greater range of the gasoline
engine which does not have
to go home to roost beside its
battery charger at night.
On Market in Year
The Charles Motor Corp.,
of San Diego, Calif., plans to
have its Charles Townabout,
a full -sized car powered by
four-12-volt batteries, on the
market within a year It has
a light-weight, moulded, glass
resin body.
Hugh Waldman of the
Charles outfit says the car is
not intended to replace the
gasoline auto. It's what its
name "Townabout" implies -a
vehicle for getting around
in the city. As Waldman sees
it, conditions which contrib
uted to the demise of the elec
tric car years ago - cheap
gasoline and high-cost electri
city now hav? been re
versed. Grange News
Shady Cove Grange
The Shady Cove Grange
met Saturday in the Shady
Cove school gym. Both Master
Ed Houston and Overseer Ed
Strother were absent so the
Grange was opened by Lec
turer D. A. Littlefield, who
later turned the meeting over
to Past Master Cecil Kee.
The following committees
were reported on, legislative,
agriculture, chuck wagon
breakfast, and HJS.C.
Hirf! chairman. Ola Hous
ton, reported about the noon
Dicnic at the Reed McKays
Aue. 11.
The pie social held in July
netted $26. Mrs. Isabel wan-
derlic ' was appointed chair
man of the Grange table ex
hibit for the Garden club for
SeDt. 4 which will be held
in the Shady Cove school
evm.
The next HEC meeting will
be Sept. 8 in the Ed Strother
home in Shady Cove.
T. M. Littlefield and Cecil
Kee reported on progress
made for the chuckwagon
breakfast Sunday, Aug. 23,
from a jn. until noon at the
Shady Cove school cafeteria,
Kee reported on the visita
tion night program.
The resignation of Master
Ed Houston was read and ac
cepted. Houston is ill.
Phil Motsenbacker was
elected to fill the unexpired
term.
The first and second de
gree obligations were given
Mrs. Ada Boyington and the
third and fourth to Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Wheeler.

executive committee when
Phil Motsenbacker resigned
and then both Motsenbacker
and Wheeler were installed.

The "Townabout" resembles
a big Karmann - Ghia, the
Volkswagen with the sporty
body. It has an 80-mile range,
a top speed of 50 miles an
hour and acceleration com
parable to a Volkswagen. It
has two direct-current motors
on the rear axles and is sup
posed to require far less me
chanical upkeep. It is priced,
to start with, at $2,895, com
plete with charger and built
in cord for plugging into regu
lar 110-volt outlet.
To Take Longer
It'U take a little longer, 5
to 10 years, to get a turbine
driven auto, although major
manufacturers have been
working with them off and on
for years. Engineers list
many advantages, over the pis
ton engine, the main one be-.
ing that a turbine which pro
duces the same horsepower
available in today's big piston
engines weighs half as much.
Turbines can be made to
operate on almost any com
bustible fuel and have only
one-fifth as many parts. They
have terrific acceleration, a
standard 160-horsepower job
being able to dust off a piston
engine nearly twice as power
ful. -
Ford is testing turbines in
a Thunderbird and a truck.
The 1960 T-bird would accom
modate Ford's new 704 tur
bine engine, and a few will
be so outfitted, but only for
road testing. General Motors
and Chrysler also are testing
turbines for passenger cars.
Morning Star Crew
Jailed af Rainier
Rainier (UPD The Tilla
mook Centennial schooner
Morning Star TL sailed into
this Columbia river port
Wednesday and the- entire
crew was promptly thrown
into jail. But it was all in
fun. .
A committee representing
Rainier Daze, a local celebra
tion, filed charges against the
crew of: (1) Disturbing salm
on in Rainier precincts, and
(2) Bringing cheese not prop
erly labeled into Rainier.
Each crewman, to get out of
the pokey, had to eat a big
portion of "Rainier cheese."
Mayor Loren McKinley of
Tillamook, one of those
aboard the Morning Star II,
said they found out later it
was ' their own Tillamook
brand. A community dinner
was held at the VFW hall
Wednesday night.
This morning the ship set
sail for Kalama, Wash. The
two master replica is en route
to Portland for the Centen
nial Exposition.
Three Fishermen
Drowning Victims
Sekiu, Wash. -(UPD Three
fishermen drowned Wednes
day afternoon after their
rented 15-foot outboard boat
apparently struck a sub
merged rock off Slip Point
and capsized.
The dead were identified
as Ralph Stockwell, about 60,
Gene StockwelL about 28,
and W. W. Schaeffer, about
30, all of Shelton.
There were no witnesses to
the accident. Three Coast
Guardsmen who man a light
house at Slip Point became
aware of it when they saw
young Stockwell standing on
a rock offshore.
They then noticed two
bodies in the water. While
they were trying to recover
the bodies, young Stockwell
fell off the rock. He was
pulled from the water, but
artificial respiration failed
and he was pronounced dead
after two hours.
The other two bodies were
recovered later by Coast
Guard boats.
McElligott Speaks
Af Legion Picnic
Cave Junction-Richard Mc
Elligott, past commander of
Fr. Francis P. Duffy Post,
American Legion, Killarney,
Ireland, addressed about 100
Legionnaires and friends Sun
day when Glenn Morrison
Post held a potluck picnic.
McElligott, member of the
American Legion for more
than 40 years, is now member
of Grants Pass post. He spoke
of his experiences in the Le
gion both here and in Ireland.
Bruce Davidson, Josephine
county commissioner, spoke
on the duties of the county
court and discussed the coun
ty road program, breaking
down into figures the value
received in the Illinois Valley
on the Rocky Dale and Deer
Creek rds. He also stressed
the fact that residents must
support the.Winnemuca to the
Sea highway or lose it to an
other location.
The air-car, or more prop
erly "ground proximity ve
hicle," probably" will take
longer than 10 years before
being marketed widely, al
though some experts think it
may make a surprising spurt.
The vehicle is not an air
plane or .helicopter. It rides
on a cushion of air but is
designed to go no more than
a foot off the ground, per
haps only inches. It will not
hop fences or trees.
Its main advantage is that
it can skim over both land
and water, needing no roads.
Models currently under- de
velopment for military and
research purposes would pre
sent a problem on city streets
-they'd blow pebbles, old cig
arette butts and other debris
on innocent bystanders.
Chrysler is testing an aerial
jeep for the military. It is
about 23 feet long, 10 feet
wide and is driven by a 250
horsepower engine that spins
two 8.5-foot fans located hori
zontally fore and aft. It can
do 50 miles an hour.
Curtiss -Wright is working
on an air-car that looks like a
flying saucer. It has a 65
horsepower aircraft engine
which hurls a blast of air out
its bottom and through side
louvers.
Designers believe it could
be big boon to farmers, hunt
ers and even fishermen.

To Thwart Rapist
Torrance, Calif. -(UPD- A 20-year-old
housewife saved her
self from a would-be rapist
Wednesday with the use of a
souvenir chopstick.
Mrs. Martha Larson of
nearby Lawndale told police
a six-foot man with a knife
jumped in her car at a signal
light, forced her to park in a
secluded area and tried to
rape her.
"The man took my ignition
key and then started to at
tack me. My cheek brushed
something hard ami I re
membered the bamboo chop
stick on the seat I was keep

"I grabbed the chopstick,
said a prayer and drove it
with all my might against his

Mrs. Larson. "He gasped and
pulled away and I jumped
from the car and ran."
The would-be rapist ran in
the opposite direction and
was sought by police today.

"I was very much encour
aged by the operations of the
Park Service," Porter said.
"They certainly know how to
handle such an area."
Porter drove the entire 80
mile length of the Cape Hat
teras area, saw slides at a
park service museum, had a
jeep ride over the sands, was
escorted about by the park
superintendent, and talked
with natives of the area.
"Nobody was complaining
about it," Porter said of local
residents.
He noted that the state of
North Carolina is planning to
invest $3 million in a bridge
across Oregon Inlet, a body
of water which separates two
of the islands which make up
the Outer Banks.
"That shows how much the
state thinks of it," he said;
Viewing Cape Hatteras, he
said, gave him a better vision
of what could be done at Ore

he said he plans to send to

hopes to arrange House hear
ings in Oregon after Senate
hearings in October.'
Porter still thinks, how
ever, that the precise bound
aries of the Oregon Dunes
National Seashore should be
described in legislation auth
orizing it. No boundaries are
described in the legislation as
introduced . by him in the
House and Sens. Richard L.
Neuberger and Wayne Morse
in the Senate.
Neuberger Defends Idea
Morse has been especially
critical of the idea of letting
the Secretary "of Interior de
termine where the exact boun
daries shall be, without Con
gress having any check over
that authority. Neuberger has
defended the idea of allowing
the Interior Department to
use its own discretion.

League of America, takes
Neuberger's side. His con
servation organization is pro
moting the seashore bills. He
said: "We are pleased that the
legislation sets fairly broad
acreage limitations on the
areas to be considered for
authorization within which, if
authorized, the Secretary of
Interior may acquire lands.
This is a sound method as has
been demonstrated at Big
Bend, Cape Hatteras, Ever
glades, Virgin Islands, Fort
Clatsop, Shenandoah, and
other national parks and
monuments established under
similar or identical proce
dures. "During the course of hear
ings, of course, the committee
will be able to study specific
boundaries in more detail and
may, if it appears desirable,
describe them with more pre
ciseness. We note also that
the secretary, before designa
ting any authorized area,
would be required to consult
with the governor of the state
concerned, and to hold hear
ings. "Beyond this, and before
the secretary could spend any
federal funds for land acquisi
tion, he would be required to
come before Congress, in the
usual appropriation process,
for funds. This provides Con
gress with still another op
portunity to assure itself that
the program is being carried
out soundly and within the
Congressional intent.
"These appear to be ade
quate safeguards against any
possibility of abuse of admin
istrative authority. At the
same time it provides means
