Because this Is vacation time. Your writer has fallen prey to that strange longing that affects aU Oregonians periodically. The desire to visit our rugged and beautiful coast. And for good reason. Never a dull moment. Just hero a knock on the door of the cabin and an uniden tified voice mforms me uiai freighter is beating its way up the coast from the south ana do I want to take a look? I do. For in the sight of that lonely little ship plowing along lies a breath of adventure and romance and the iaint scent of far off places. To an oflice-bound landlub ber lika me, anyway. This longing of Oregonians for beaches is apparently instilled at birth. I doubt that there is a na tive of our evergreen state that doesn't feel the tug at one time or another. And answer the summons. There are warmer beaches to the south where one can swim and loaf In the sun. There are luxurious re sort beaches along the gulf that offer every known form of relaxa tion. There are pleasure spas dot ting all our southern coast lines that certainly offer much more in the way of comfort than does this rugged, cold, windy, Drusn-riaaen coast of ours. But they lack the one essential thing that appeals to the rugged people of Oregon: the equally rug ged scenery. Your softly nestling southern beaches can t oner the towering headlands that preen themselves above the thunder of the surf. They tall short in the depart ment of variable weather. Here, in the past week. I've sat through sunshiny days that were almost hot, wind storms that blew windows shut and upset chairs, rainstorms that start with a veil of vapor and end with a steady downpour that roars on the windows and splashes merrily on the concrete walks. And through it all is the ocean. The one thing outside an open fire that man can watch for untold hours without growing weary or bored The Oregon coast Is a good place ktor a man to rest his soul. There s enough going on around him that he can't fall Into a complete tor por, thusly his nerves are kept Hiss' Lawyer Asks Retrial NEW YORK. Ul Alger Hiss attorney says he has still more evidence to support his contention that testimony by Whittaker Cham pers against Hiss was "false Chambers' "fraudulent plot now stands exposed" adds the lawyer, Chester T. Lane. - Lane filed In federal court Mon day a new 10 point affidavit supporting a previous motion lor a new trial lor hiss. The motion, which will be heard June 2, originally was based on new -evidence ' that the typewriter introduced in Hiss' two previous trials was a "lake machine," rigged to make it appear it was used to copy government data. Chambers had testified that Hiss' wife, Prlscilla, used the typewriter to copy State Department secrets. cnamoers said he then was a Com munist spy courier. Hiss, a former State Department official, was convicted of perjury at his second trial and sentenced to five years imprisonment and a line for falsely denying passing secrets to Chambers. The first trial ended with the jury deadlocked. In the new affidavit. Lane savs he now has experts who will testify that the documents offered by Chambers as evidence in the trial were not typed by one person but by two, and probably more. Lane added that the experts will testify that Mrs. Hiss did not type any of them. Lane said penciled corrections on the documents were not made by either of the Hisses. He also claimed that the documents are not all the same age and could not have been kept for 10 years in one envelope, as Chambers testi fied.

But enough of praise. You notice a lot of other things. The fishing season opened yester day and there has been talk of lit tle else. For days? the residents of the tiny coast towns have been anx iously peering at barometers, test ing the win J and hauling out the farmer's almanac to see what the weather wou!d be. In the taverns tne talk was of where thev would be running, of gear and tackle and weather. Not once in five days of listening did I hear any discussion of the nation al situation, tne strikes, tne steel crisis or the president's highly con troversial press conference where he Intimated the freedom of the American people may come to an end. Down here thev talk as neigh bors. The towns are a neurogenous and liquid factor, one flowing into the next like a stream of water trickling across rough asphalt. Ev eryone seems to know everyone else. It s not at all unusual to visit four or five tonus cn an average shopping tour and still not drive more than eight or ten miles. Half the distance you travel in a met ropolitan city, to get the same things. It s a nice friendly atmosohere that makes even the casual visitor feel at home. Down here everything but the people steams up. You leave your car out overnight and the windows are all steamy the next mornine. The shop windows are constantly steamy. It's a phenomenon I don't understand but a fact. Someday I'll find out. You also get a chance to areue that favorite subject of all sun wor shippers: What's the best way to acquire a tan? There are three definite schools not counting the various cults. One (and the best ac cording to me) is the bake and burn theory. Step out in the sun and broil all day, and then follow this the next day and the next un til your skin gets tough enough to take It. No oil. no relief. The sec ond most popular theory is to an nolnt yourself with various oils. greases, etc., and sort of French fry yourself. And the third, known as the Milquetoast method, calls for darting cut for ten minutes at a time carefully exposing a differ ent area of skin each time and waiting until you are tanned before burning. It's a lot of fun arguing, and the first school usually wins. Why? Because if you can start the argument in the sun and the oppo sition is serious he'll stay there and argue with you until his own skin turns that attractive shade of red usually found on electric plush rockers and the faces of diners at the Waldorf when they drop a fork. There are florist shops that ad vertise "oceans of flowers." There are little crab stalls around every turn of the road, all advertising the best, freshest, biggest and tas tiest crabs in the world. And they are all correct. You have to wait until you get over here and tangle with a crab only a few hours out of the water to realise the differ ence between them and the tired specimens we are served away from the coast. There are shops in every lown that cater to the summer trade with a line of sun caps with visors. faded blue denim trousers and jackets, flamboyant sport shirts, dark glasses, beach shoes, jack knives, fishing gear, aspirin, gin in square bottles and sunburn lotion. And they all stay open on Sunday. So do the grocery stores. (Univer sal complaint among the grocers: Tve got lots of beer but no shells cases because people never re turn bottles." You get a cent apiece for 'em, sc I take 'em back.) That ship is directly offshore now the sun has come out from behind the clouds and I m gonna go out and play on the sand. In closing let me say that I tried to be seri ous. I tried to look out over the mighty ocean and think a few cos mic thoughts that would fit with the pounding of the timeless surf and the keening of the wind. The only things I could think about were to wonder whit ever hap pened to Howard Hughes' flvlng lumberyard and why don't they publish Captnln Billy's Whizbang anymore? So I might as well bo out and play. Maybe some of the fishermen on the beach will know.

We're all creatures of nature, in ! spite of our artificial life in cities, with mechanical gadgets. Mavbc we're uot aware of it, and therein lie our frustrations. There was a time when all were familiar with the almanac and when every person knew whether to plant potatoes m the light or the dark of the moon. Now. you can't tell me. (And I'd have to be told.) To meet this need for a stream lined schedule of nature's cycles we have the Solunar Tables, a copyrighted interpretation of the daily influence of the moon and the sun by one John Alden Knight. It's a modern version of the old "Moon Up Moon Down ' rule, of times when all living things are most active. The Solunar Tables tell you the hours when, under the influence : of the heavenly bodies, fish and game are most active. Knium's publication of the tables is in its eighteenth year. It's most used by ihe outdoor fraternity, but if you limit it to activities with rod and gun you're missing e bet. Suppose, for Instance, vou're a salesman and vou have a big deal to nut over. Take a look at the table and you find that on April 24 the malor Solunar period starts at 12:05. Take the man to lunch. You'll have an hour and a half or two hours to clinch the deal, while your man Is most keenly alive. ff By CYNTHIA LOWRY (For HAL BOYLE) NEW YORK. I Vittorio Man- unta, aged 10, Is a Cinderella boy. Seven years ago Italian authori aties found him crying in a Roman gutter, clutching the hand of his dead mother, shot in a street riot. Today. Vittorio. an undersized little Sicilian, Is a movie star, the adopted son of a British Noble woman and heralded on the strength of a Btngle film as one of the best child actors since Jackie Coogan in "The Kid." Americans, so far. haven't had much chance to see Vittorio in acton, for the Italian - made film Paul Galileo's "Never Take No for an Answer" Is Just beginning to make the rounds of the smaller independent film houses in the larger cities. But the lad's acting created a sensa tion on the Continent and In London. ADOPTION Vittorio's father was killed In World War n. After his moher's death, the dark - eyed, tousled haired little boy was placed in a government orphanage. After that. he was adopted by the countess of Berkeley, who has a home in Assist. Lady Berkeley, widow of the earl who died in 1942, is a hand some, white - haired woman in middle life who was bom Mollie Lowell of Boston. Her American children (by a previous marriage) have grown up anu nave cnuaren oi meir own. After the war she adopted three little under-orivileeed war waifs.

Or suppose further, young man, that you've found the light of your life but your courting has not vet produced the desired "yes." Need I point out that tonight at 11:45 is the start of a major Solunar period. All God's creatures lose' a great deal of their natural caution dur ing these Solunar periods. Need more be said? (If you've reached the age where a good night's sleep Is your mat ter of paramount importance, don t blame a restive midnight hour on the onions or that last olive vou ate. It's probably Just the Solunar stimulus at its peak.) SAY THAT AGAIN SLOW depart ment: "The program now totals JS hours a day of classes In French. eight hours in English.

Time, affection, good food and a happy home have almost entirely healed the wounds of the tragedies in the boy's earlier days, but the scars still show a little in the dependence of Vittorio on his foster mother. "He is absolutely mad about cowboys and Indians," she said. "He likes baseball, but his heart belongs to Indians." With his two adopted brothers, life was quiet and pleasant In Assist when a party of film people called on the countess for help in making arrangements for film ing tne Interior of famed St. Fran- els' Church. They told her of trouble casting a boy to play the lead role. When Vittorio wandered Into the room, they decided In two minutes they had found the boy. DREAM The next few months were like a dream. Much of the film was made in the Vatican. Once Vittorio used the Pope's robing room for his dressing room. In their couple of weeks in the United Stales, Vittorio has been introduced to baseball, hot dogs, the wild west, his foster mother's amused and amazed family and ice cream sodas. Vittorio, who had been holding up the interviewer with a toy six- shooter, lowered his gun. "Sodas." he said, making a dreadful face. "They are better In naiy.. imagine putting mineral water together with Ice cream I Put up your hands again." 'He needs a hair cut." said Lady Berkeley. 14 min an Ar.iinrrh'xa lj j. minify ca irH ici xnu-'nc g I I J c.4iy Mitt AT HJNCH'-nC. T WXMIbt MUMLCfl Nl n Wf.S AReuiHQ VtrrH tUS, j I LOT BeTTBf?

FOR HIMSELF c i TVMNX AM Al4 UNONVWXIS HAT TIP TO "AHOUVMOOS" Summer is Just around the cor ner, and a few far-sighted people are already beginning to ask ques tions about hay fever. For example. F.H.M. writes "once having started taking shots for desensitising in hav fever. Is it necessarv to keep It up all year, or can the patient eel relief bv building up his Immunity for a few months immediately pre ceding the pollen season? 'I have obtained remarkable re lief from shots taken approximately once a week from April 1st to August 15th. It Is better to keep up these Injections all the year around. or is It satisfactory to build up each season?" This Is a difficult question to an ence of opinion about it. Somo doc. tors believe that at least some pa tients cio better It thev receive in jections all the year around the so-called "perennial" treatment. Other patients seem to do well thev take the Inlec'.lons for several months prior to the August 16th beginning of the fall ragweed-hay fever season. " The decision as to which method to follow should rest with the doct tor giving the treatments, but In a case such as that given the fact seasonal treatment, suggests that that method Is all right for him. In any event, either method Is much belter than waiting until the last minute to start tnlectlom. Sufferers from hay fever do not all act the same amount of relief from this treatment. However, the results obtained today are better for some people than they were several years ago. Some people who receive treatment get almost complete relief; a larger number are greatly improved, that is, In stead of being completely miser able for three or four weeks they may be really uncomfortable for only a few days. Some people seem to get little, If any. relief from this treatment and these must be considered as failures. But the number of people who are In this group seems to be constantly shrinking. With this in mini people wno have fall hay fever and plan to try the injection treatment should start soon. The Improved pollen ex tracts and increased knowledge of what doses to give has greatly Im proved the chances for complete recovery or at least enougn im provement to make injections worth while.

Dr. The "write In fever" that has marked the natlnn'a 1953 primaries ought to be well studied by party leaders In all slates. It la the vot ers' commentary on the absurd con fusion and inequity of our primary laws. As they are now framed, theso statutes do not generally provide a fair test of strength between the leading presidential candidates. The heavy write-ins In states like Minnesota and Nebraska are a dem onstration of popular Irritation with this Intolerable situation. The voters want a chance to vole on all candidates. It is evident that ex cept where they are expressly for bidden by law, they will take mat ters into their own hands and put down Uie name of llio man they want. The candidates' personal Inclina tions are partly responsible for the scarcity of good primary testa. They naturally refrain from enter lnK the states where they feel their showing might be poor, and leap into areaa that look promising. But they are encouraged in their reluctance by Uie oddities of the various stale laws. A man may believe that a particular test will be unfair, or inconclusive, or un productive of real gains In conven tion delegates. COUNSKL A candidate actually needs legal counsel to make these decisions. Faced with the Incredible complica tions. In any instance he is more, likely to stay out than go in. There la no question at all that some primary laws have been draf ted by state leaders who were try ing to stack the cards for or against a particular man In a par ticular year. They seem deliberate ly designed to block a lair test. Some atates require a candidates written consent for his entry, somo do not. Some allow write-ins. some do not. Here and there a popularity contest result is binding, but more often It Is merely advisory, leaving the delegates free to Ignore the voters' recommendations if they choose. Senator Taft stayed out of popu lous Pennsylvania's test on the ground It would be Inconclusive. The "written consent" required barred General Elsenhower from the big Wisconsin show.
