The park entrance, office, staff residences and service yard are all in the path of the new High way 99 freeway. Gibbons and Reed contractors. Salt Lake City, have been granted the, contract for the 4.4 mile section of tour-lane tree- ivay which will slice through this little community and the S,000 acre itate park adjoining it. Land clearing operations have been started by the contractors north and south of the state park but Jewell N. Caughell, park supervisor, says he intends to re main unperturbed until the equip ment starts moving in. "Relocation is the responsibility of the state division of highways," he said. "Our job is to keep the park in operation." He admits this may not be efficient or convenient and is looking forward to a more tranquil time next year after the upheaval has been completed. The park has 59 campsites, used lo full capacity during the three summer months. With an average stay per car of 1.7 days, this means a rapid turnover of camp visitors eacn day. Caughell esth mates that about three fourths of the 63,000 park visitors each year come during the summer months, most of them planning on an over night st3y. Those arriving late in the day are apt to be disappointed. Caughell said. Last August 485 cars were turned away and there is no estimate of those who read the "no vacancy" sign and drove on without making inquiries. The spectacular Castle Crags from which the park draws its name attracts more camera fans than hikers. According to the reg ister at the Crags only 138 hikers completed the 2.7 mile climb last year to the end of the crag trail. Those who inquire about the trail difficulties are told "It's downhill II the way back," Caughell said. The park is primarily an area in its natural state. There are only 2.8 miles of road open to .the public. The trail to the Crags and a one-and-one-half mile trail Present Wheat Program Will Continue One Year WASHINGTON (AP) Senators had a choice of at least four wide ly varying wheat programs today .is they tried to choose a way to ease mounting grain surpluses. It appeared likely that no mat ter what their decision, the pres ent wheat program which helped build up the huge grain stocks must continue another year. On June 1 just 10 days away Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Tafl. Benson must announce a new na tional wheat program. Present law requires an allotment of at least 55 million acres and a tup port price of not less than 75 per cent of parity. Parity is a price determined under farm law to be fair to farmers in relation to their costs. Both the Senate and House would have to agree on a new program before June 1 to make it effective for the coming year. The House, working on a differ ent program, is not expected to art on it before that date. Wheat is grown under strict production controls, with each farmer allotted a specilic number of acres for his crop. He is pen alized if he grows more. But de spite sharp acreage cutbacks, the amount of wheat grown has great ly exceeded that sold. The gov ernment holds more than a full year's supply obtained under price .support loans. How In cut production still fur ther without hurting the farmers who grow the wheat has become a major problem. Benson, who has had ditliculty winning congressional approval of his farm plans, wants to lower wheat price supports over the next three years, and gradually let farmers grow as much wheat as they want. His theory is that lower prices will cause many farmers lo quit growing wheat. He proposes to base price sup norls not on parity, but on aver age market prices of the three preceding years. A bill to author ize his program was introduced Thursday tay Sen. Everett M Dirksen (R-IID, the GOP floor leader, as a, possible substitute. Pcndinn before the Senate is I rtnnsap wheat program for the next two years approved by Its Agriculture Committee It would retain the 55-million acre planting allotment, lower itpports to 65 per cent of parity fer those complying with individ ual farm allotments, and tighten penalties for excess planting Those who voluntarily reduce planting 20 per cent below their allotments would be olfcrcd price supports at 80 per cent of parity Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey ID Minn), acting for a group of Mid west wheal senators, offered a similar plan that would keep the minimum support rate at 75 per cent and offer 85 per cent of par ity support lor those cutting back Lli per et-nt of allotments. Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan) urged a plan that would let farm ers sell wheat at market levels. sue wm an incentive pavment jhove 'his nn their share of the ioKiestie markets and let surplus- along the Sacramento River i the only maintained trails. "Most people come because they are attracted to the out of doors for one reason or another," Caugh ell said. Some fish, some hike, some take pictures, -some just sit around or get acquainted with those camping nearby. He said the majority of the campers are considerate of each other and ea ger to cooperate with the park staff. "Of course, we remember a few of the others," he admitted ruefully. Wildlife in the park includes deer, bear, chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, porcupine and bobcats. Except for the chipmunks' and squirrels, the wildlife is not seen except by the very observant, Caughell said. He tells of two bear that became a nuisance last year and had to be trapped and moved out. "We protect the bear from the people, rather than the people from the bear," he said. "Because a bear in its wild state prefers to be left alone and only upon encouragement becomes a bum and a menace." The park has a developed area on the east bank of the Sacramen to River for picnicking and day visiting only. Although there are no group picnic facilities, this area is the scene of many school, club and organizational outings, Caugh ell said. One of the most consistent of the visiting groups is the Wednesday morning breakfast club from Duns muir, a group of retired and pen sioned people, who will resume their weekly breakfast picnics as soon as warm weather is estab lished. Caughell who is more eager to talk about the park than himself states he came to Castle Crags two years ago from Jedediah Smith State Park at the extreme northwest tip of the state. He says his assignments in 11 ypars of state park work would sound like a California travelogue. But he says each particular area from the desert to the redwoods has its particular charm and work ing with the two olher permanent staff members and three season al staff members at Castle Crags is a pleasant, challenging job. Meanwhile the survey stakes at the nark entrance announce im pending change. Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R- Ind) offered the most drastic pro posal. He would cut off all farm price supports at the end of this year and then freeze the 9 or 10 billions worth of wheat and other commodities now in government hands because of past programs Capehart contends that the price support and planting controls have failed and it will cost taxpayers and farmers less to halt the whole thing now than continue it. He said the huge surpluses could be disposed in an orderly way over the next several years. , WIFE CONGRATULATED LOS ANGELES (AP) - Movie and TV actor Chuck Connors was the first to congratulate his wife Betty, as she was granted Ameri can citizenship Friday.
