Its Rough Luxury at
25-Yeor-OId Sun VALLEY

ing. 1t was to be a rosy-cheeked
affair with dining, dancing and
general merriment in a newly
built lodge.
Things couldn't have gone
better.
A now nameless Chicago
social lion crept into a circle
of motion picture actresses and
made inquiries about the pos
sibilitieS of dancing. For this
and perhaps other comments
a director BACKED his eye.
The frantic management
phoned Mr.. flanagan, warm
back in New York. Steve was
overheated with joy. What are
you talking about? The opening
ruined! This is wonderful! 1t
will make headlines in every
newspaper in the country"
Mr.. flanagan got out a
quick report - Sun Valley
opens with a bang"
Mr.. Hartman perhaps didn't
have a bang" in mind. During
the 1882 winter Olympics at
Lake Placid, N. Y, he noticed
that trains loaded with winter
sports enthusiasts were head
ing out of New York City.
Easy Transport
Why not set up a winter re-
sort somewhere close by the
Union Pacific tracks and carry
people to the fun?
Mr.. Hartman summoned to
America an expert on winter re-
sorts, the late Count Felix
Schaffgotsch of Administer,
Austria.
Schaffgotsch hunted through
the ruggedest parts of the West
for a proper site. He found it
in a valley near the village of
K e chum in South Central
Idaho. The Count decided the
valley had everything good
snow record, open slopes for
ski runs, moderate altitude,
proximity to the railroads
tracks and the guardian saw
tooth mountains to keep out
frigid winds.
Today, the Valley is a snug

expert of them all, Robert Mel
son, Travel Council director
who also estimated that the
visitors will leave $752 million
behind them.
In his defense, it might be
noted that even Volt Gilmore
director of the United States
Travel Service, has no firm
indication at the moment of
how many foreign tourists will
come to the United States this
year under the new Visit
U. S. A." program.
Mr.. Nelson has had the sat-
isfaction of seeing the Travel
Service adopt the regional
ism" that he proposed to Vir-
ginia travel groups more than
10 years ago. Selling Virginia
tourism through the regional
idea was one of the subjects
discussed at last weeks meet
ing and it met no opposition.
But it will take time.

SUN VALLEY, Idaho.-Give
him a good respectable sand
dune like Miami Beach and the
late publicist Steve flanagan
would sprinkle it with lovely
girls and wait for the crowd
to arrive.
But show him a quiet South
ern Idaho valley covered with
hip = deep snow and all the
famed ballyhooer could think
of was heat.
This isolated retreat where
the skiing, skating, golfing

play, and where the almost
wealthy come at cut rates to
see how the other tenth lives,
celebrates its 25th season now
"a testimonial that the pub
licity king of yesteryear did his
work well.
- In 1886, w. Averell Hartman,
diplomat and former New York
governor who was then chair
man of the board of Union
Pacific Railroad, hired Mr.
flanagan to talk up a winter
sports resort far out in Idaho
Mr.. flanagan had about as
much use for far-out place,
cold weather and energetic
sports as an Eskimo might for
a surfboard. But he consented
to come to Idaho for a Shiv-
ering look. He saw lots of
snow, mountains and freezing
weather.
Sun Necessary
Then the sun came out and
the temperature climbed-into
the unlikely 90s, he later
claimed - the publicity mans
thinkpiece thawed.
He reasoned that people, even
those who like to wallow in
snow, prefer to do it under the
sun. He began to shout about
a place he called-over native
objections-Sun Valley.

Sen. Humphrey Urges Cut In Income Taxes

WASHINGTON sY s4Yg Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn.), to- day urged cut in individual and corporate taxes Ito strengthen the economy and the stock market"
 Tt will take more than expres- sions of friendship and cooperation from the White House and other areas of government to strengthen the market" Humphrey said in a statement.
 What is needed is action,' he said. Delay by Congress or the administration will bring further economic trouble 7
 The Assistant Senate Democratic leader, who talked yesterday in New York with stock exchange officials and other financial leaders, proposed cuts of 2 to 4 per cent in corporation levies and 2 per cent in personal taxes.
 Meanwhile, the recent gyrations of the stock market prompted Rep. Wright Patman, chairman of the Senate House Economic Commit tee, to ask Congress to approve a $750,00o investigation of the mar ket by the House Banking and Currency Committee.
 Congress ought to know what influences the stock market and how these influences affect the health of the business and credit systems said the Texas Demo crat.

BERSERK MENTAL PATIENT KILLS DOCTOR

PITTSBURGH R = A berserk mental patient killed a doctor at a Veterans Administration hospital today and wounded a policeman during a short gun battle.

AIR FORGE GROUNDS C-133 CARGOMASTERS

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, III. R --- The Air Force said yester- day all C-133 Cargomasters were grounded after cracks were found in the wing structure of three planes. Air Force engineers said the cracks scould affect the in- tegrity of the aircraft structure" :"
 Mai. Irving Breaslauer said all 46 planes were grounded after cracks were found in the wing structure of three of the planes during routine inspection.
 He added that the grounding of the planes had nothing to do with C-133 with six-man crew which has been missing in the Atlantic since Sunday.
 An Air Force Engineers report issued yesterday said 1t cannot be determined whether or not the C-133 aircraft that recently dis appeared into the sea had crack in it's wing. However, it is be- lieved that such crack in itself could not cause an accident"

Unlike many ideas that often go
