New High vay 99 Free vay
Will Slice Through
Castle Crags State Park
By PEGGY WALSH
CAS I ELLA Along with the in
flux of campers next month, the
staff of Castel Crags State Park
is anticipating the arrival of
other guests . , . state highway
engineers, contractors and heavy
equipment operators.
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.

"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. ,

Portland Firm
WASHINGTON (AP)
Fred
Meyer Inc., a 13-store retail
chain in the Portland, Ore., area,
Thursday was accused of solicit
ing discriminatory prices or pro
motional allowances from four
suppliers.
The Federal Trade Commission
said the firm violated the Clayton
anti-trust law by getting the four
to help defray the cost of an an
nual coupon book promotion.
The FTC also issued separate
complaints against the suppliers.
It said Idaho Canning Co. of
Payette, Idaho: Tri-Valley Pack
ing Assn. of San Francisco, and
Burlington Industries, Inc., of
Greensboro, N. C, paid Meyer ad
vertising allowances not avail
able on .equal terms to competing
retailers.
The FTC accused Idaho Can
ning and Cannon Mills Co. of Kan
napolis, N.C., of charging less for
merchandise than they charge
competing customers.
The FTC said Meyer offers
a coupon book each fall.
The book sells for 10 cents and
contains 72 coupons. These offer
merchandise free or at a reduced
price.
