Bv JOE BIANCO Staff Writer, Th Oregonian Motoring along the central Oregon coast with a two- month-old and a "terrible two- year-oia can be fun . . even for the parents. Loaded down with enough roxes ana suitcases tor a three-week cross-countrv trin. we started on our 110-m i 1 e three-dav iournev in thp white rnotorlo ranch wagon belong ing 10 me uregon state Motor jvssn. Our sightseeing excursion began at Taft, a small ocean community on the 20-Miracle lliles. situated cnmfnrtahlw ra the confluence of toe Siletz Kiver and Bay. It was a fresh, warm, sunny day when we drove into Taft to try our hand at crabbing anq oiner pieasant sport of fered in this charming little town. Just a block off the main highway is the rich crabbing waters of the Siletz Bay. Some fishermen prefer crabbing in a boat in the inlet of the bav: others enjoy the steadiness of tie Russ Bailey dock, a few hundred yards from a parking trip conveniently located a:ong the sandy, driftwood' stocked shore. A round galvanized crab ring and some fish carcasses for bait are all that are rennirerf for crabbing. And these may dc ooiamea at ine tsauey aocK. The best time tn catch the delicious Dungeness crabs is irom two nours alter the tide ebbs to high tide. Fishing for crab requires no skill. Simply ; lower the rings by a rope into ne water, wait live or ten minutes, pull them briskly up and, presto, you will bag enougn crars to stock a mar ket. Unfortunately, you can't take It all with you. Oregon Fish Commission regulations limit the catch per person to 12 male erabs measuring not less than Ri inches in width across the back. The flap on the under side of the crab distinguishes male from female. On the male crab it is very narrow; on the female it is broad I where a broad should be broad). f - t I -1 ' 'liJkr Jig && i -oiitrz- n ut inn it n i ti.m w. Here in Depoe Bay, one of the coast's more picturesque fishing communities, is a sight seer's paradise. The Oregon State Motor Assn., motorlog traveler found this scene of the fishing fleet in the sheltered Depoe Bay inlet. With our catch in the bag, we left this bountiful shore and drove a few miles south to the approach to the Siletz sand spit, where one finds a veri table beachcomber's paradise This is only one of many places along the scenic 500 miles of Oregon coastline where drift wood treasures are to be found. The sand spit can be reached from land several miles below Bailey's or by small craft across the inlet. Many strange and fascinat ing pieces of driftwood, beau tiful in their graceful shapes and patterns, can be picked up by any visitor, and with no one to raise a protesting hand. This is possible, unlike many other coastal states, because Oregon's shoreline is state owned and for the public use. Driftwood is plentiful all along this part of the coast because of the dozens of rivers and streams that empty into the sea along this stretch. floating down new supplies with every winter storm. The forests of pine, fir, hem lock, and other trees furnish constant supply of driftwood year after year, as well as huge amounts of just plain fire wood for those beach wiener roasts which delight the thou sands of picnickers who visit the coastal beaches. For that favorite pastime of relaxing on the beach with your two-month-old fast asleep and your darling "terrible two" throwing sand down your neck and in your eyes, not to mention your sandwich there are any number of beautiful state parks that appear at close intervals along the Lin coln County coast. Fogarty Creek State Park, which has become a popular picnic and bathing area, is some 10 miles south of Taft and a five minute drive north of Depoe Bay. Here the travel er finds new picnic tables, stoves, water and other accommodations. A mile south of Fogarty Creek is a sightseer's joy . . . Boiler Bay State Park. Here the ocean roars with all the fury of an angry storm through the rocky caverns, spitting up geysers of sea water to the delight of onlookers. Less than two miles from here is the picturesque harbor of Depoe Bay, a resort com munity popular for its fishing, marine gardens and friendly atmospnere.

AonotDier Korea (Possibly brewing on Laos, FovotaD Southeast Asia Kingdom By RONALD P. KRISS UPI Correspondent Tokyo - (UPD - Is a new Korea brewing in the pivotal Southeast Asian Kingdom of Laos? All the elements are there. Pro - Communist rebels, any where from 600 to 4,000 of them, are waging guerrilla warfare in the wild moun tains of the northern prov inces. Government paratroop e r s are trying, without much luck so far, to ferret them out and Capture them. Red China and North Viet Nam are making thinly mask ed threats of intervention and hinting that they will dis patch "volunteers." The Lao tian government charges that North Viet Nam already is channeling arms and men across the border into Laos. Nevertheless, most observ ers doubt that an all-out war will erupt in the landlocked kingdom. They see the current flare up as part of a Red pressure campaign to persuade the pro Western government of Prime Minister Phoui Sananikone to go a little easier on the Com munists in Laos. But these observers are still nervous, for a flare-up in Laos could touch off other, bigger ex plosions in the tinder box of Southeast Asia. Laos is in the heart of this strategic area, an accident of geography that has caused nothing but trouble for the little kingdom for the last 12 centuries. It is hemmed in by two fiercely Communist nations -China and North Viet Nam; two fiercely anti-Communist nations - Thailand and South Viet Nam; and a pair of neutrals Burma and Cam bodia. The nation, shaped some thing like a barbell and only 89,000 square miles in area, has been invaded at one time or another by all these neigh bors. Thais, Cambodians, Bur mese Vietnamese and Chi nese 'all had a crack at it from the eight century on. Late in the 19th century, however, the French took over and made it part of their Indochinese empire Laos won independence in 1949 as a constitutional mon archy within the French Union, but its troubles were far from over. The Com munists were yet to be heard bom. j Throughout most ot the Indochina war there was lit tle fighting in Laos. The nation's rugged terrain - high mountains with deep gorges carved out by tributaries of the Mekong river made it unsuitable for large-scale en gagements. But in 1953 the Communists decided to lop off the north ern tier of Laos for them selves. They found this wild For Glamour Dolls 2Ul FOR 10W-18", DOLL 20" -22" & u 9302 It's the gift a little girl loves best a wardrobe for her grownup doll!

An army of Laotians train ed in North Viet Nam swarm ed across the border into Laos, seized the provinces of Phongsaly and Samneua and hung on to them after the Geneva agreements ended the Indochina war in 1954. With Communists running two of the northern provinces and Communist nations oc cupying 620 miles of common border, Laos had little chance in the direction of its inter national politics. -As long as the government in Vientiane, the capital, maintained a policy of docile neutrality, somewhat tinged by Red, it was reasonably safe. The moment it aban doned that neutrality and began leaning toward the West the fuse was lit and some sort of explosion was inevitable. ' A year ago, Sananikone came to power and tilted his nation toward the West. He was alarmed at the inroads the Communists were making in the government and de cided to root them out. Reports Sketchy - The explosion has followed, Reports coming from the northern provinces are sketchy, but they indicate that the rebels are waging classic guerilla warfare, seiz ing an outpost here and a radio station there, burning them and fleeing into the mountains as soon as loyalist troops appear. The Laotian government says it wants npbody to in tervene except, perhaps, for the United Nations. Laos' Communist n e i g It bors, China and North Viet Nam, are howling for any body and everybody to get into the act, except for the United Nations.
