Justice Douglas and His
Young Bride Hiking On
Olympic Peninsula
FORKS, Wash. Ufi — What did
Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas give his young bride for
a wedding present?
“A back pack and a pair of
hiking boots,” she said with a
smile.
The two, holding hands like
newlyweds the world over, map
ped plans for a honeymoon on
Washington’s rugged Olympic
Peninsula which will give the gift
plenty of use.
Cookouts, overnight hikes on
coastal beaches, fishing and look
ing for a summer home site will
occupy most of their time.
The 64-year-old Douglas, an ar
dent outdoorsman, will be doing
what comes naturally in familiar
country. His petite bride of four
days, the former Joan Carol Mar
tin, 23, of Buffalo, N.Y., will find
it “new, strange and wonderful.”
Douglas was divorced by his sec
ond wife, Mercedes, 46, last week
in Goldendale, Wash., on grounds
of cruelty. She married Robert B.
Eichholz, 52, a Washington, D.C.,
attorney Tuesday night.
Mrs. Douglas, showing amuse
ment at some newspaper accounts
of her “May and December ro
mance,” said she fell in love with
Douglas after hearing him lecture
at Allegheny College in Pennsyl
vania while she was a junior.
The Douglases plan to make a
10-day pack trip next month in
the mountains near Yakima, in
central Washington, where the
jurist spent his boyhood. This win
ter they will visit South American
Indians in the Andes.
After that, what?
They hope to be able to do some
thing for the backward nations of
Africa, Asia and South America.
“We must clean up the horrible
disease, end the hunger, and in
crease education if we are to
begin to attack the heart of world
tensions,” Douglas said.

by Sen. Frank Lausche. D-Ohio,
to trim the Senate bill from $5.5
billion to the $5.2 billion previous
ly approved by the House.

reasonable explanation of why a
man should be put on the moon
by 1970.
