Pack Horse Trip
Explores Wi|ds

SALEM, Oreg.-More travellers
seeking to get that healthy glow
from a vacation in the rugged
mountains are trying the pack
horse civilization" Of Northeast
ern Oregon.
Some luxuries are available,
but for the most part the va.
cationer will drive over mountain
passes. through forest corridors,
then hike or ride a horse, or drive
over dirt and gravel forest serv-
ice roads to choice recreational
areas.
Primitive Area
Take, for instance, the Wallowa
Mountains. into which no road
penetrates. The mountains,
centered in a national forest, sur.
round numerous lakes and give
birth to many streams, and are
accessible only by pack horse.
For those who like the primitive
life. this area is unrivaled.
Lakes and streams TEEN with
fighting trout. and hunters sell
dom fail to down q deer. Well
over half Of them are able to
bring an elk to the dinner table.
for the Wallowas contain the
largest supply Of elk in the
United States.
For Others, Too
But Northeastern Oregon is
not for sportsmen alone. Parks,
forest camps and picnic areas
help to make the area pleasant
for sightseers. Notable among
these is Wallowa State Park at
Wallowa Lake. Horses for pack
trips into the Wallowas may be
obtained at the rustic lodge here.
Northeastern Oregon also con-
tains the deepest chasm on the
North American Continent, the
Grand Canyon Of the Snake
River. 1000 feet deeper than the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado.
"A forest service road leads trav-
elers to the closest accessible spot
by car.

Three farms are listed In
Maryland and five in Virginia.
Helping Is Fun
Says Mr.. Wolfe:
"Once at the farm, you'll rest
with time out for meals. Then
you'll discover that the "recrea-
tional program" involves good
swimming holes, trout streams,
hayrides, country auctions, an
tique shops. hunting, square
dances, and clam bakes; or, per-
haps, you'll try your hand at
churning butter or bringing the
COWS from pasture-not because
you have to. but because it's fun.
you probably won't find any
thing that resembles plush, hotel
service. and you probably won't
be served breakfast in bed. A
farm is a busy place, especially
in summer. But you will find
real farm hospitality, and when
your holiday is over you will be
saying goodbye to old friends. I"

reasons to believe Mr.. Dayton
wished to 60 abroad to advance
the Communist movement.
The Secretary further indi-
Gated he believes Mr.. Dayton de-
sired to travel in order to work
with a person suspected Of being
q Communist espionage agent.
The Secretary said informa-
ton indicated that Mr.. Dayton
once was chairman Of a Com
munist-front organization and
that he had closely associated
with a person suspected Of be-
ing a member Of the Rosenberg
atomic spy ring.
The Secretary said his ind
ings were based. In part. on con-
fidential information. He de-
clared that to disclose the
sources Of his intelligence would
be detrimental TO national secu-
Irity and to the conduct Of for
Ieign affairs.
According TO Justice Depart
ment sources. Mr.. Dayton had
had been chairman OF the
Science for Victory Committee
at the University Of California
from l943 to 1914. The organi-
zation was characterized as hav-
ing been formed by Communist
Party officials.
The sources said Mr.. Dayton
wished to 60 abroad 10 work with
DR.. Bernard Peters, identified
as a former Communist who
renounced his citizenship and
was working at the Tata Insti-
tute Of Fundamental Research
in India.
District Judge Joseph C..
McGarraghy had upheld Secre-
tary Dulles stand. The case was
then appealed. Mr.. Dayton re-
sides In Corning, N. Y.

and did not borrow, as he as
serts. more than 100000 Of
Transfers funds.
Incensed Over Widows Fund
These close associates of Beck
are said to have become fully
disillusioned with him after he
refused to answer charges that
he proflted personally on an in
vestment of funds of which he
was trustee for the widow of
Raymond Leheney. his long
time friend and longtime AFL
official.
Others are reported incensed
by the maneuvers attributed to
him by the committee to reap an
So, 900 split on q commission paid
by the union in connection with
the site for its headquarters
here.
According to some labor
sources. Beck realizes he must
get out. But he is reported to
be seeking support for a plan to
run for reelection. as a sort of
vindication, and then resign at
once.
One problem confronting the
Transfers would be q successor
If Beck steps aside or is ousted
and there is said to be no meet
ing Of the minds on this.
One Of the unions most pow
erful leaders. 44-year-old James
r. Hoffa of Detroit. is under
indictment here charging that
he attempted to bride member
Of the Mcclellan Committee
staff to supply him committee
He also was in
dicted recently on overlapping
charges.
Frank w. Brewster, the Team
sters' West Coast boss. has been
heavily involved in charges be.
fore the Mcclellan Committee.
Another vice president. Sidney
L. Brennan Of Minneapolis, is
under a Federal conviction on
a charge Of accepting a bride.
Both face defeat in the union
election this fall.
All this has complicated the
Teamsters' problems in deciding
what to do about Beck. But
they do. likely win be
speeded up If Beck fails to ex-
plain his actions satisfactorily
before the AFL-CIO high COM
mand starting at 10 am. to-
morrow.

The Stars Travel Editor
For those toying with the idea
Of a vacation on a farm and not
knowing the best way to go about
it. the answer was mailed out last
week. It's the 1857 version of the
booklet Farm Vacations and Hol-
idays, 48 pages of answers.
Headquarters for this summer
movement into the countryside Of
Virginia, Pennsylvania. Tennes-
see and a score of other States,
is. oddly enough. in the heart Of
downtown New York. For 1t was
a representative Of some Of the
worlds most pleasant resorts and
luxurious hotels who established
this liaison between city folk and
those who live at the grassroots
beyond the jungle Of steel and
concrete.
William p. Wolfe is the head
Of FVH, and he had to null over
the idea for years to evolve a
workable plan. Basic principle
is the booklet. which gives such
complete details OF each farm
that the prospective vacationer
can write directly to the family
operating the farm that appeals
to him most.
Cookie Jars, Too
In the details. he will find such
amenities of life as telephones
and a cookie jar. a home freezer
and oceans of milk, a swimming
pool and family style meals. AS
life in the country has an espe-
cial lure for couples with small
children, ponies and other ami
mails are given prominent atten-
ton in the listings.
Farms enrolled in the plan
range from a seven-acre blue
berry farm in Connecticut to a
IL. 000-acre working ranch In
Montana. Mr.. Wolfe points out.
They have been screened for hos
pitality Of the hosts, cleanliness
of the homes. living conveniences
and recreational pursuits.
One important result Of Farm
Vacations and Holidays service
has been the establishment of a
degree Of uniformity in rates.
Most Of the room and-board
rates for the listed farms are $35
to $40 per week for adults and
$40 to $25 for children.
Sample Form
For instance. there's q place
in New Hampshire that describes
itself as a typical country farm,
accepts children with parents,
serves pasteurized milk, meets
guests arriving by bus or train
and has a washing machine:
"Seven double rooms, two
