Mrs. Ruthe
ComponeHo
Dies at 40

NEW YORK - The stormy
marital disputes between Mrs.
Ruthe Campanella and her
estranged husband Roy, form
er Dodger star, ended forever
this week =. but not by d.
vorca..
An irolIic finale was written
to their marriage when Mrs.
Campanella, 40. collapsed and
died of q haart attack while
talking on the telephone in her
Glen Cove, Long Island home.
The psppeEy and attractive
woman Had become familiar
figure in the press through
the public feud with her hus-
band who on frequent occa-
Sions charged her with adult
cry. Only last week, "Campy"
had levied another blast
against his wife, this time link
ing her with dapper bandlead-
er Willis Jackson, who immedi-
ately denied the charges.
IN RECENT years trouble
had stalked the couple relent-
lessly, beginning with the
tragic auto accident which
ended Campanella's stellar
baseball career and left him
nearly completely paralyzed.
Shortly afterwards, their
Oldest son was arrested for
stealing. 1t was not to be the
last time he would be hauled
into court.
Then marital troubles trans
formed their union into a pub
lie nightmare. Campanella re-
sponded to his wife's alleged
infidelity by moving out of
their expensive home, allowing
payments to lapse and eventu-
ally selling it "out from under
her"
But now death has written

carried two people to the pin

only to thrust them into the

any longer.
She's a safer driver than
the male according to Ma
tional Safety Council statis-
tics of annual motor vehicle
accidents.
There are some 27 million
members of the distaff side
cruising the highways and by
ways of the nation and over
SO million males behind the
wheel. The Council tells us
men have a sharply higher
accident involvement rate and
offer figures to prove the
point.
For 1861 the scoreboard
shows almost Is million of the
stronger sex involved in motor
mishaps while 100000 wom-
en- drivers ran into trouble.
Men drivers, however,
are not completely defenseless
against these stark statistics.
The Council offers some con-
ISOLATION by estimating that in
terms of miles driven by each
sex, males fare better acci-
dent-wise than females.
Automobile accidents for
both sexes tend to be highest
in the month of December and
lowest in February. Increased
pedestrian activity during the
holiday season and longer
hours of darkness are con-
tributing factors in this trend.

Fort Miles.
Fort Miles is the more or
less abandoned military post
on Henlopen Point where
the Delaware flows into the
Atlantic.
1t has wide beaches both
on the ocean front and on
the Delaware Bay side.
1t is being used as a rec
reation area for military
personnel.
A proposal is before Con-
gress to turn it over to the
State Of Delaware to be de-
veloped as an ocean-front
park.
Gaining admission was not
difficult. A telephone call to
the district office of the
Corps of Engineers opened
the gates.
A civilian employee of the
corps showed us around.
The huge naval and coast
artillery guns that could lob
shells across the 12-mile
width of Delaware Bay have
been removed. All that re-
mains are man made dunes
that conceal their mount
ingS.
The point beween the bay
and the ocean is a low-lying
area Of sand. We parked on
a high spot just short of the
point and the view was
magnificent.
There are two stone light
houses out in the bay, mark
ing the entrance and an
inner and an outer break
wall.
On a clear day the Jersey
coast can be seen on the
northern horizon, but yester-
day was not a clear day.
This is the historic South
River noted by early explor-
erS Of the coast. (The North
River was the Hudson.)
The pilot boat of the Della
ware River Pilots ASsocia-
ton usually lies without the
outer breakwall but yester-
day it was upriver for re-
pairs.
All the ore boats carrying
iron from Venezuela to the
Fairless plant on the river

proceed into the bay. So must

very attractive one for a

The Navy and the Army
have reserved areas on the
point for radar stations. Both
services and the Air Force
have other areas reserved for
recreation.
But the property declared
surplus, about 500 acres, is
plenty large enough for an

Much of the land is COW

The pine thickets abound

This is the ocean front

lis miles or so from the
White House.

tides make bathing near the
tip of the point dangerous

But there are gentle, shall
