Hilley testified yesterday he smashed into his wife's apartment one morning to find a member of former President Eisenhower's administration scampering to the bathroom. Hilley identified the man as Frank M. Ewing, former deputy associate director of defense. THE REAL ESTATE man's testimony highlighted the second day of hearings in a divorce case filed by his wife, Jo Anne. Law and Equity Court Judge C.

J. Ketter said he would decide today whether he would grant the divorce. Hilley said on one occasion his wife telephoned him after their separation to plead for a waiver so she could get a divorce in Alabama. Mrs. Hilley is claiming she is a bona fide resident of Mobile.

By EILEEN C. SPRAKER OAK LANE MANOR (Spe-Now that we Sprakers have arrived home safe and sound from our tent trailer trip to California and back, it's time to sort out how the economy of the thing worked out. To sum up the figures, we came out with $90 to spare on our $1200 budget for the month-long trip. (The girls are already needling for a weekend at the seashore!) In tallying up the figures, we found that the six of us had traveled 8,025 miles in 31 days at a total cost of $1109.77.

Per person, the trip rounded out to about $185 for the month or about $6 per day per person. THE CAMP trailer for which $184 of our funds went for rental was used 18 nights in all in state parks, privately operated camps, national forests and parks, the backyard of a friend. The last night out, in desperation, we camped on a truck weighing strip beside the Indiana State Police headquarters near Indiana Dunes State Park (with the troopers' blessing!) Eight nights we enjoyed the comfort of fond relatives' domiciles, and lived it up in motels the other five! This cost $82 Accomodations ranging from $22 per night at the Peter Pan near Disney. land where we had a two bed- when we were visiting relatives when there were relatively few expenses. (Bless their souls!) And the day in Disneyland, where we really "lived it up" The bill for that day was $71.40, of which more than $40 was dropped right at the amusement park as father winced! But the girls thought that day was worth the whole trip.

As one of them said, after trudging for more than 10 hours through the attractions, "It's everything I dreamed it would be!" Mr. Disney would indeed be gratified! We didn't get in all our itinSpace just seems to stretch itself out West. The maps just can't begin to record the vastness. Mexico will have wait. And so will Oregon.

in Cali- fornia, we did as far south as Long Beach and Leguna and as far north as Frisco and all 1 in between. Salt Lake City will have to be on another trip. It was that or Yellowstone and we voted the latter. New Mexico and southern Arizona we hope to visit some day. We covered or touched on 19 states in our travels and we'd like to see more of California, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

WE DIDN'T see many fellow Delawareans in our travels. When we registered at Yellowstone, the ranger said they hadn't had a Delaware for more than four weeks. There Car, were many Pennsylvanians, Midwesterners, and in California, we found lots of Cali- fornians out to explore the vastness of that state. For the most part, they weren't natives, but transplanted families exploring their new state home. Camping rigs were fascinating to observe.

Trailer campers traded ideas back and forth. Tenters showed their set ups to each other. None minded the curiosity they evoked. Especially popular are the trailers on pick-up trucks, which seem practical for families of four or less. The real camper in this family is the male parent, there's no doubt about it.

We Girl Scouts were way behind him in adeptness, endurance, and pure enthusiasm. He was up to greet the sunrises and get us rolling. ONLY SIX DAYS of the 31 did we travel more than 400 miles. This was necessitated mostly by the distances between camp sites in some area. The last day out put us to shame 724 miles, turnpikes all the way, from northern Indiana home! It was a grind! The girls, Sally, Jean, Nan, and Carol, are busy passing out souvenirs to their friends.

Dad is back at his engineering post at Chambers Works. And the lady of the house is unpacking and unpacking and washing washing. I not too enthusiastic when someone suggested at the dinner table, "Why, in five or six years, we could try this thing to Europe!" Well, maybe! Just give me time!.
