The most exciting pieces OF
ABC film I saw for the new
season - by far - early this
week were several excerpts. in
color. from the first in the
four-part Saga of Western
Man" documentary series
which John Secondari is pro-
ducing. The film I saw de-
picted the assault on the AL
hambra by Ferdinand and Is
abella in 1892; also a portion
of Columbus epic voyage.
Actors are used, but are seen
only in shadow. The camera
retraces Columbus steps. in
the actual towns and cities,
and we see what he saw, not
excluding the inside of his
ships cabin.
The succeeding episodes In
this series will be entitle d
"1776," 1893" and 1884"
Secondari will write ano
narrate his script Just as soor
as he gets out Of Column

rushed for an appendectomy

Scouts killed
in truck crash
BY STEVE SMILANICH
United Press International

ESCALANTE, Utah CUPID
School was over, and early Mon
day two truckloads of jubilant
Boy Scouts headed into the Utah
mountains on a vacation expedi-
tion. Their leaders. including two
university professors, accompa-
MED them, along with a woman
reporter.
The first truck reached its des-
tination without incident. Late
Monday, on a primitive mountain
road in mo Mans Land" S
miles southeast of here, tragedy
struck the other vehicle.
Nine Scouts, the two professors
and the reporter were killed as
the truck plunged down precipi-
tous mountainside, throwing them
from its open bed. The other "a
Scouts and leaders in the truck
were injured.
Rolls Backward
The Utah Highway Patrol said
the truck was heading up the sin

gle-track road when the engine
failed. Then the brakes gave out.
The vehicle rolled backward and
off the mountainside.
The fatalities included seven
Scouts from Provo, Utah, and one
each from Ogden, Utah, and Salt
Lake City. Most of them were
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints (D-S.).
The terrain, which ranges In al
titude from 1000 to 5000 feet, is
barren and mountainous. with
rocky escarpments thrusting
through the sterile soil.
Road Is Rough
The road from Escalante to
le-in-the- Rock, the Scouts des-
tination on the Colorado River, is
nothing more than two tire tracks
cut out by Mormon pioneers near
ly a century ago and improved
little since then.
The most seriously injured
youths were taken to Panguitch
Hospital, about 100 miles from
the accident scene. The facility is
equipped for only 10 patients; the
less seriously hurt were sent to
the closest hamletS.
Two Brigham Young University
professors, both Scout leaders,
The chronicle., 1963-06-13

were among the victims. Merlin
J.. Shaw. 81, an assistant profess
sor of religion and bishop of the
Manabu Ids Ward, was in
charge of the Provo contingent OF
Scouts. II. Darrell Taylor, IS,
chairman of the BYU language
department, was explorer ad-
wiser.
Reporter Also Dies
Dorothy Hansen, "a, reporter
for the Deseret News and Salt
Lake Telegram, also was killed.
Miss Hansen, who started at the
News five years ago as a copy
girl and had worked into a posi-
ton as a staff writer, was COM
bining her vacation and a story
assignment on the trip.
The Boy Scouts from Provo were
identified as Gordon Grow, Bill
Greer, Randy Miller, Gary RaS-
mussen, Joe Erickson, Lynn Mer-
rell nd Gary Christensen. The
Scout from Ogden was Randy
Hall and the boy from Salt Lake
City was Robert Cook.

Vietna11lese
worry US
on religion
BY PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst

The saffron robes of til e
Buddhist monks and the gleam-
ing Buddhist temples are as much
a part of Southeast Asia as the
monsoons and the rice paddles.
Buddhism is the state religion
of Thailand. Laos is Buddhist and
in South Vietnam it is estimated
that 20 per cent of the popula-
ton is Buddhist.
Which helps to explain mount
ing United States concern over
the harsh repressive measures of
South Vietnamese President Ngo
Dinh Diem's government against
the Buddhist majority there.
AS a religious dispute between
the Catholic president and the
Buddhists, it is an internal mat
ter and one thing. Its effect upon
a war in which the United States is
deeply committed and upon the
feelings of millions of Southeast
AsianS toward the United States
Is still another.
Committed To Win
For, like it or not, and many
Americans in South Vietnam do
not, the United States is commit
ted to win the anti Communist
struggle in South Vietnam on a
slogan win with Diem"
The United States is doing its
best to disassociate itself from
the present dispute.
UPI Correspondent Neil Shee-
han reported on the basis of reli
able sources in Saigon, that pri.
vately, us. Deputy Chief oi
Mission William Trueheart has
urged Diem to settle the quarrel
and get on with the war.
us. military commander Gen.
Paul D. Harkins has ordered all
American military advisers not to
accompany Vietnamese units sup
pressing Buddhist demOnstra-
tions.
But this counts for little wher
the Vietnamese use easily identi-
fable airplanes and equipment
obtained through American aid ir
their repressive actions and in
delibly link the United States with
them.
One more from Saigon sources
Sheehan reports that the United
States so far has refrained from
publicly rebuking Diem out o.
fear of losing what little influ-
ence it now has with his govern
ment.
NOT TSt Suuu
But US. representatives are
finding it more and more difficult
TO maintain a position that Diem
is leading a broad, popular move
ment, when at the same time il
is obvious he is in deep political
trouble with a majority of his
own population.
us. aid has helped to stem the
Communist ad vance in South
Vietnam.
But. if events continue to follow
their present course the fat well
could be in the fire.

with this season is not the time to
tell the truth and il should fit into
the general theme Of the evening.
Over the years we've chosen a
number of different themes. Once
we turned the house into a stranded
ship and sent our invitations out as
SOS's in bottles. We hung green
raffia which looked like seaweed
from the ceiling with hundreds Of
little silver fish between. ALI the
windows were plastered with weird
creatures of the deep, cut out and
painted from shopping bags. A life
size mermaid made of papier mache
hung inside a net from the ceiling.
With odd pieces Of lumber, some
cardboard, paint and authentic rig
ging borrowed from a shipyard, we
turned our piano into the prov Of a
ship.

gifted friends and, after deciding on
a master theme, we decorate our
house from top to bottom for one
grand Fasching dance.
In southern Germany, Fasching
begins sometime in late January and
lasts until Ash Wednesday. People
put away their everyday selves and.
with the help Of costumes, wigs and
occasional masks, slip into a brand
new personality. In Munich during
Fasching time no one would look
twice at lady sitting in streetcar
in the middle of the day with her
hair dyed a brilliant green. It's all
part of q season when the unusual
is the order Of the day.
Fasching is noisy and colorful
affair. There is always a big parade
and lots of drinking, eating, dancing
and merry-making. FaSching - or
Karneval as it is called in the
Rhineland-has been celebrated in
the present form since the 18th cen
tury, its roots actually going back to
pre-Christian Teutonic rites of
spring and to the Roman saturnalia
The difficulty of importing
Fasching is that a centuries-old ira
dition is needed to turn normally
staid citizens into a carousing mob
But all through the year-the way
some people collect stamps or coins
Il keep my eyes open for likely
"Fasching material" people who
are extrOverts, who like to dance
and who are high-spirited even with
out a drink. If on top of this they
have talent, it's even better.
