Queen's Footsteps Milan, Italy OTPll In 1893 Queen Margherita of Savoy -wearing a large hat with ostrich feathers and an ankle length gown - trudged to the top of 15,000-foot Mount Rosa. This month, more than 100 women Alpinists will follow in the Queen's footsteps de spile the fact various Alpine clubs around Europe don't like the idea. Mass climbs, they say, are just too dangerous. However, the organizer of the climb, Italian journalist and Alpinist Fulvio Campiotti, said: "If the Queen could do it, we certainly can. In Aug ust, 1893, she reached the peak, wearing a large hat with ostrich feathers and an ankle- length gown - the gay 90's fashions. Campiotti added that "the purpose is the most important thing." The climb is to honor French woman Alpinist Claude Kogan and Belgian Claudine Vonder Stratten, both killed during a climbing expedition in the Himalayas last year. So far, 112 women climbers - 110 Italians and two Aus trians - have signified they will make the climb. Campiotti said that "when mass climbing is organized, all risks are limited within safety measures. Any claim that the expedition would be dangerous is simply ridicu lous." He said the. women will climb in groups of three to the top of the mountain. They will carry walkie-talkies and other safely devices. Potpourri dislikes lo admit that there is anything wrong with the climate or scenery or living conditions in southern Oregon. But circumstances force us to admit that there is something wrong with summer. It's the mosquitoes. As far as we are concerned, the mosquitoes are becoming more numerous, more powerful , and more poisonous every year. One of our favorite summer delights is to eat our meals on the patio, and to sleep outdoors under "the stars. For more than a week now outdoor living has been well-nigh im possible because of the pesky little creatures which keep us awake with their humming and leave the big, itchful bumps when they bite, And don't tell us about ointments and sprays. We've tried them all. One brand of goop to spray on face and arms works pretty well when the mosquitoes make an oc casional foray during an evening. But when they become so numerous that they hover over, the shrubbery and plants in clouds, and cluster on the screens, just waiting to swoop inside, nothing seems to help. We watch those women in television advertisements grace fully spraying a bit. of this or that insecticide here and there and just give a great, big "Pooh!" Both Pappy and Potpourri have sprayed gallons of stuff and junk all around the patio and the side yard and the front lawn until everything drip ped. Within an hour, there the miserable creatures are, just as thick and voracious as ever. We burn smelly candles, too, when we linger outdoors after dinner. That doesn't seem to discourage these winged pests one bit. If scientists can make atom bombs and machines that carry men to the moon, why can't Ihey do something about mosquitoes'; Taking to heart a request from the United Nations as sociation, Mrs. Harlan Bosworth called in Saturday morning to find out if The Tribune planned to publish any more material about the anniversary of the fall of the first atom bomb. The UN is anxious that the United States not cease its effort for peace, and finds the anniversary of Hiroshima a fitting time to point out the horrors of modern warfare. Over the phone from her peaceful and secure farm and river home in the Applegate, Mrs. Bosworth read us a state ment which came from the people of Hiroshima. "Hiroshima thinks it would be wrong to forget that sum mer morning on August 6. On each August 6 morning at the fateful hour of 8:15 a.m. its people throng to a ceremony in Peace park which marks the place on which the bomb burst. There is a crypt, with the names of all known victims and a modern museum with photos and other grim reminders of the bombing. "We gather here, one survivor said, not so much to remind ourselves, as the world. If we are remembered, we believe there is a great hope, a hope that there will be no more Hiroshimas, any time, any where." Mrs. Bosworth also called attention to a paragraph from the Disarmament Information committee in New York City. "According to some observers, the continued opposition to a test ban treaty by some forces within the Administration is still complicating the task of the U.b. policy maKers Commenting on the situation, Thomas Hamilton wrote m The New York Times June 5: . . . 'it may well be that Mr. Khrushchev's tough language is somehow proof of his fear that the armaments race will bring war unless something can be done. If that is the case, an agreement could be reached on stopping nuclear tests, if the opposition Wash ington can be overcome.' " O.S.

Fridir 'Til p.m. FREE PARKING By ROSE McKEE Rocca Sinibalda, Italy - An American woman owns and lives in a 15th century castle here which she is slowly re storing to its feudal grandeur. Mrs. Caresse Crosby, a one time Boston society girl who has had an eventful life on both sides of the Atlantic, said she could spend 30 years car rying out her plans for the castle. It is a vast, beautiful struc ture of native gray stone and brick with rounded towers. battlements, roof-walks, halls and courtyards which open to the sky. Built imaginatively in the shape of an eagle with outstretched wings, the castle stands on a rocky hilltop in the foothills of the Apennines, about an hour's drive from Rome. Mrs. Crosby 'and her late husband, Harry, were among the avant garde of intellectu al leaders in Paris in the 1920's. She has been a pub lisher and patroness of the arts but since purchasing the castle from Vatican sources in 1958, it has been her summer career. She has a home in Washington, D.C., where she usually spends her winters. Vatican Owned The Vatican acquired the rastle vears aco with the in tention of using it as a school but it proved too inaccessible and was closed for a long time. Mrs. Crosby told an in terviewer from the National Association of Home Builders in Washington. She has restored the 1,200 square meters oi rea-uieu roof and has attempted to put in modern plumbing and elec tricity. "It was lough getting the plumbing," Mrs. Crasby said, "because they wouldn't let me put it in where you might ex pect it to be put." Although she owns the castle, it is an Italian national monument and there are restrictions on what she can do in moderniz ing it for convenience sake. She said the official esti mate is that the castle has 177 rooms but "the workmen tell me they have uncovered 200 rooms." She has put in four bathrooms, a minimum neces sity since Mrs. urosoy lets young writers and artists live in the castle during the sum mers. At first, she told them, "Come and bring your own bathroom." Dream Place' To her the castle is a dream place of quiet beau ty." She enjoys wandering through its halls, many of them still not in use, but she never has the feeling that it i spooky place. "It's a friendly castle," she said. The walls of the immense room she uses as a living room are purple - a shade dis covered when they were being cleaned. She liked the unus ual, mellow color and de cided quickly that it would stay. Frescoes of the Raphael school were uncovered near the ceiling. Mrs. Crosby, be lieves that more murals will be found as the walls of other rooms are cleaned. "The saving grace in re storing the castle," she said, has been the people ot tne village. They are helpful, in terested in the work and tney do the work so very well." The village of Rocco Sini balda literally is "wrapped around" the castle. The houses curve and nestle close lo the castle's footing, and looking down on their red-tiled roofs is one of the pleasures of mounting the battlements. The view is incomparable. The panorama includes a sweeping, wooded valley, the Turano river which "is fa mous for its trout and fresn water shrimp, and moun tains. Mrs. Crosby said the castle was designed Dy reruzzi, famed 15th century architect who was influenced by Raph ael. The Vatican in 1530 de creed that whoever owned Rocco Sinibalda castle should have the title of prince or princess. Loved By People 'The people of the village seem to think I am (a princess) but I don't try to prove it in any way," Mrs. Crosby said. She is a small, gray-haired woman with a happy cxpres- s on. The villagers m.iue u clear to the visitor that tney I love her. Climbing the wide, earthen steps to the castle's living quarters is something of a chore, but one Mrs. Crosby circumvents. She had a litter made and is carried up and down the castle side. Her exits and entrances con trast dramatically with that of the castle's original feudal lords. They rode out on horses, with helmets, spears, and banners flying to maraud neighboring rivals, Mrs. Cros by said. She explained that as manv as 100 horses were stabled in the subterranean j passages of the castle In those feudal days. She runs the castle with the. help of three women, castle guardian who "knows every' stone and step" of the struc ture, a gardener-helper and his son, who is the "resident electrician." Eventually, Mrs. Crosby plans to use one of the halls as an art gallery. It has a "lovely light," she comment ed and, like the other rooms, a stone floor. She plans, too, to build a swimming pool. "There are just endless pos sibilities." said the quiet-man nered, smiling Mrs. Crosby, "but there is still a tremen dous amount of work ahead to make the castle what dream it can be." w-T.
