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).
Washington: Coulee Dam Na
tional Recrealion Area 356,202
(261,737); Ft. Vancouver National
Monument 11,624 8.286: Whit
man National Monument 33,158
(30,874).
Alaska (through September):
Sitka National Monument 10.816
(9.293); Glacier Bay National
Monument 5,014 (3.375); Katmai
Rational Monument 727 (566).
RE-ARGUMENT SET
L A KF. VI E W Word has been re
ceived in Lakeview that the state
Supreme Court has set the case
of Con Lynch et al vs. the Warner
Valley Stock Company for re-argument
on November 19. The case
was originally heard by the whole
court in October, 1957, but there
has been considerable turnover in
justices since that time. It involves
applications to construct reser
voirs at Big Valley and Greaser
Basin.

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.
