Gets Estate, Servants A senior at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N. Y., Joannah received the bequest from Mrs. Arthur Whitney of Menanam Township. Mrs. Whitney, who died in Febru ary at the age of 82, left Joannah a 115-acre estate, called Pleasant Valley Mills. A 20-room mansion, four cot tages and seven servants to go wan it. Frederick F r elinghuysen of Newark, attorney for the estate, said Joannah will have access to a 5250,000 emergen cy fund in addition to the other bequests, if her income is not sufficient to meet her needs. As for the estate, "the amount she will get the in come from, would be much nearer one million than four million after taxes and ex penses," Frelinghuysen said. YOUR LOWER S 1 1 IIP Porter Poll Shows Dunes Opposition Not Too Strong By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - A heavy majority of property owners in the Oregon Dunes -VI area are not 'SU-1 strand v n rv. - O-J f posed to crea tion of a na 1 1 o n a 1 sea shore park, Rep. Charles O. Porter ID Ore.) has con cluded from a poll of these a Rbt smii residents. From 398 questionnaires mailed to the property own ers in the area proposed for inclusion in the Richard L. Ncuberger National Seashore. only about one third sent Russia Asked To Agree on Weapons Geneva - UPD - Thi West has called on the Soviet Union to agree to an early cut off of nuclear weapons pro duction under international control and to start converting existing nuclear warheads for peaceiui uses. Chief American delegate Frederick Eaton termed "Ir responsible" the Soviet counter-proposal that the nuclear powers merely pledge "never to be the first to use the atomic bomb." The 10-national committee met for 2V4 hours In the last session before the Easter re cess. It was the 23rd session since the talks began March 15. Relatives had estimated the estate at $4 million. Frelinghuysen said the money will be held in trust until Joannah is 25. Until then, she will get what the money earns through invest ment. He estimated her an nual income from the estate would be $40,000 to $50,000. The estate includes jewels and stocks. Mrs. Whitney, the former Florence Dillon Wyckoff, was heiress to a railroad fortune.

"It seems apparent that two-thirds have no strong feelings about the park either pro or con," Porter observed. Of the one third who did reply, 85 said they opposed the seashore idea and 47 said they favored it, although 11 had some reservations which would have to be met to win their approval. 'Vociferous Minority" The Western Lane Taxpay ers Association, which has been a vocal opposition group located at Florence, amounts to a "vociferous minority," the Oregon congressman con cluded. "I found in going over the questionnaires that many who opposed the park listed what they felt were needed changes in the bill, such as 'ample money appropriated to purchase all private prop erty required for the area and a new formula for life tenure.' I welcomed these ideas," Porter said. "Many opposing the park as now proposed said they would withdraw their opposi tion if the park boundaries would include only the sand dunes west of Highway 101, excluding homesites and farm lands as now proposed," he noted. "The primary objection to the park as proposed seems to center around the feeling of some property owners that they would not receive fair consideration," said Porter. "I don't think this will prove to be so. I think we can enact a piece of park legislation which will be generally ac ceptable and advantageous for years to come to the ma- jV Easier Pol Plants W Us.

A perusal of the returned questionnaires revealed a number of residents said they would be willing for the park to be established if the price is right. On the other hand, those dead set against it minced no words. A "preposterous, Idiotic idea," said Gardiner resi dent. "You have had your say for awhile, but at the next election we can have ours," said a Westlake property owner to his congressman. A Florence man said his comments could only be "written on asbestos." But another property owner of that city said: "In my opinion the majority of the loud pro tests seem to come from peo ple who I know to be con sidered crackpots. There are many people who are in favor of the park, I am sure, but they would hesitate to pub licly say so. I want you to know I think it is a wonder ful thing and I commend your stand on it in the face of criticism. Wants Fair Price A couple in their fifties living at Florence who bought their property last year re plied: As long as we would get a fair price for our land and could live out our lives on it, I see no reason why the park shouldn t go in. A Gardiner man who said he lived there for 50 years and owned more land in the proposed park area than any other individual said he fa vored the national seashore because "I realize the value it would be to this commu nity." Sorter said the answers W M 1 contained many good sugges tions. "Land tenure will be spell ed out clearly. I have in quired to see what will be done if houses are built or I O enlarged or businesses erect ed after the date of enact ment," he added. Porter has said his bill is open to any changes that will help make the seashore a MAIL TRIBUNE, Medrord, Or. 9 Friday, April U, 1960 A feasible undertaking for Ore gon residents and the Nation al Park Service.
