Nurse Lost in WiIds
Says She Did Not
Eat for Two Weeks
BY the Assceioied Press

GATL1NBURG, Tenn, June %
"A missing 21-year-old nurse
with an interest in fasting, walked
out of mountain wilderness in
apparent good condition last night
and told rangers she had spent
two weeks wandering without food
or protection.
The nurse, Evangeline Lorimer
was taken to a hospital at nearby
ISevieryille for observation but
rangers said she was suffering
mainly from puffed feet and insect
bites. They said she showed nc
signs of malnutrition.
Robert White, acting superin-
itendent of the Smoky Mountains
National Park, said she apparently
was only half lost during the per-
iod when search parties were plod-
ding over the rugged terrain. He
quoted her as saying she had
heard them but didn't have the
energy to respond.
She was located on little trail
winding through laurel thickets
in the general area where she dis
appeared June 8. She told Rangers
| she had decided it was time to
come out"
On the basis of her story to
Rangers. the intensely religious
nurse ate no food during the two
weeks. Mr.. White said he had
learned she had experimental
with fasting at nursing school and
had shown unusual interest in
Ivitamins and concentrated foods.
Her father, w. H. Lorimer, an
evangelist. insisted she carried no
food away from camp.
The Ranger said her story was
confused, but he delayed pressing
questions upon her until after doc
tors give approval. Her account
was that she saw no human being
during her walk. She brayed the
fastness in a tee shirt, jeans and
low white shoes. She had no coat
nor blankets to protect her from
the torrential rains that fell dur
ing the period or the cool mountain
nights.
She drank from the numerous
swift streams in the area.
She was an experienced hiker
At the time she wandered into
the parks bear-infested thickets
lalong the Tennessee-N North Caro-
lima border, she was on a camp
ing trip with her father in the
Cades Cove area.
An unidentified mountain boy
spotted her on Hannah Mountain
last night and escorted her to q
warden station. She was about
10 miles from her camp site, but
she said she had seen only one
bear. Rangers were continuing to
search when she was found.
Mr.. White said she had kept
good account of the days and indi-
Gated she returned to civilization
because she is due back on duty
lat Cincinnati's Jewish Hospital
Monday.
She told rangers she took a
wrong turn after she left the camp
for a short hike and got involved
lin one of the canyons. She kept
Igoing-and thereby started a hunt
that reached across the Nation
after rangers. speculated she nc
longer was in the park.
Even after she returned, they
marveled that she could spend two
weeks in the area alone without
weapons or means of protection
against the weather.

 Some of the not spots that caused the joint Chiefs to keep the diary suppressed are:
 Forrestal told how he came close to firing then Secretary Of the Air Force symington in the spring of 1948 for an unauthorized, pro- air force speech on the west coast.
 FoTestal also complained of his truobles getting the three services to agree on war strategy and de- fense budget Twice he appealed to General Marshall to support in- creases tn the military budget. The filst time. Marshall was Secretary of State and favored priorities Tor froeign aid instead The second time Marshall urged that the ex- ha money be spent TOT universal military training.

unpublished facts in the Korean war: we expected to cut off 60,0O0 enemy troops by dropping para troopers behind the lines, but sig- nlflcantly the paratfoopers ran into little opposition. Until last week, very few Communist Chinese mad beel spotted crossing the Yalu River into Korea. However, last week, large Chinese troop move ments were observed crossing the Yalu. Troop trains are now rolling toward the front, and the air force is shooting them up at the rate Of SeighC to ten per day Some have 9een loaded with high explosives that have shot 5,000 feet into the air. =. The most interesting re- port cabled by Gen. Charles Will loughby, Chief of MacArthur's in telligence, is that the north Kor- cans seemed to be getting plenty of Russian arms, including field artillery, but the Chinese are get ting nothing. The heaviest Chinese weapon $ still the mortar. and Willoughby reports that TO Russian weapons have been captured from Chinese units. ..
