More People Visit Parks This Year Than In 1957 Rockefeller Finds Early He Must Make It On Own WASHINGTON (AP'-More peo ple are visiting national parks and monuinrnts in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest this year than in 1957. Countrywide, the trend is in the other direction. Officials expect a drop in attendance this year from 10,"7 totals at National Park Serv ice recrealion areas. But in Oregon, Washington and Alaska, the number of visitors shot up more than 25 per cent in the first in months of 1958 to a tolal of 3.062,123. This contrasted wilh 2.34H.R&2 for the comparable 1937 period. In three other Alaska areas for which October reports were not available visits through September also were running ahead of last year. Idaho was the exception to in creased attendance, wilh its Cra- ment falling off from 143.935 through October, 1957 to 115.056 for the first 10 months of 1958. The decline in visits at craters of the moon was in line with simi lar declines at other Rocky. Moun tain park areas such as Glacier and Yellowstone National parks. Olympic and Mt. Rainier Na tional parks, both in Washington, continue as the park service's ma jor Northwest attractions with Olympic reversing last year's October ranking to take over No. 1 place. Olympic's visitors climbed from 83U.298 for the first 10 months of 1957 to 1.149.994 for the January October 1958 period. The number of visitors at Jit. Rainier also in creased, but less spectacularly from 894.787 to 1,074.804. The sharpest percentage in crease, however, occurred at Mt. McKinley National Park in Alaska where the number of visitors in creased from 10,847 to 25,863. Park service officials said the big reason was the opening of the Denali highway route into the park area in June. Attendance figures for the first 10 months of 1958 at other North west parks and monuments (com parable 1957 figures in parenthes es) include: Oregon: Crater Lake National Park 331.190 (327.6101; Oregon Caves National Monument 79,288 (70,633).

FOX United Press International NEW YORK (UPD Nelson A Rockefeller found out early in life he was going to have to make his own way. He got a 2.1-cent weekly allow ance as a hoy. supplemented n by shining the family's shoes and kept books which were inspected closejy by his father and grand father, America's first billionaire. Nelson is now governor-elect of New York at age 50. He scored a stunning victory over Averell W. Harriman despite warnings from friends that it was foolish to try. They told me a Rockefeller couldn't hope to be either nom inated or elected," he says. "So I said to myself: 'Well, let's find out.' I believe the American peo ple judge people by what they are, regardless of where they come from." Rockefeller overcame the hand icap of being a multi-millionaire in politics mainly by exposing one of the warmest and most en gaging personalities on the politi cal scene. NOT SPOILED His family saw to it that Nel son and his four brothers and one sister didn't become spoiled. "I was totally unconscious of being a rich boy," he says. "When we lived on the estate at Tarrytown, my brother Laurance and I had the shoe shine conces sion (or the house. We got a nickel a shine. "We also had gardens to take care of and we'd sell vegetables to the family. We also had some rabbits and we sold them to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research." ! Nelson's grandfather also paid him for catching flies 10 cents per hundred. He was closest to Laurance. They thought their names stuffy and called each other Dick and Bill. Laurance is still Bill to the family. Nelson went to a "progressive" school in New York. When it came time ior college, he chose Dartmouth as more democratic than other Ivy League schools fa vored by young men of his class. TAUGHT SUNDAY SCHOOL In college he favored sweat shirts and tennis shoes in attire. He ran out of money and re couped by working in the cafe teria. He taught Sunday School for little girls for four years. He ran for president of the junior class and was beaten by a dark horse. A week after graduation, he married Mary Todhunter Clark of Philadelphia, a girl with whom he lad sailed and swam at the sum ner resort of Bar Harbor, Me. His father's wedding gift was a honeymoon trip around the world. But he came back to one of the roughest jobs imaginable. In mid depression his father had stub bornly gone ahead with building the gigantic Rockefeller Center and the 23-year-old Nelson was given the task of getting tenants. He plunged into it with typical energy, got himself involved in lawsuits when he bought up leases of companies in other buildings and persuaded them to move. He brought Rockefeller Center up from a loss of 4 mil lion dollars a year to an annual profit of 20 million dollars. TAUGHT SELF-HELP In 1935, as a director of Creole Petroleum Co., he went to South America on a trip that shaped the course ot nis inc. Nelson is sim patico with Latins and he was distressed by their terrible living conditions. He look a course in Spanish at Berntz ana returned two years laier witn a program of develop ment and self-help which now is famous throughout the South American continent. At outbreak of World War II. he was dismayed at the inroads Hitler was making there. He drew up a list of 1.800 Latin American firms trading with Ger many. It came to the attention of Harry Hopkins and then of President Roosevelt who named Rockefeller to head a department to combat Nazi influence there. Subsequently Nelson served un der Presidents Truman and Ei- enhower. He helped draft the 'oint Four program. Under hi enhower he helped set up the new Health, Education and Wel fare Department and later be came an aide in the State De partment, working among other things on Eisenhower's "open skies" inspection plan. Nelson and Mrs. Rockefeller have five children and four grandchildren. Their oldest son, Rodman, 26, and daughter, Ann. 24. have married and moved away. Steven, 22, enters the Army shortly. Only the twins, Mary and Michael, 20, are left at home. IT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS! Smirnoff Get on the vodka wagon with Smirnoff I It blends compefey with any mixer soft drink or fruit juice.
