Ocean Claims Reardan Man
FLORENCE, Ore., Sept. 9, (AP) - A University of California student from Reardan, Wash., plunged from rocks to the Pacific ocean surf and vanished 13 miles south of Yachats yesterday.
His car was parked along the Oregon coast highway. Papers in them identified the victim as Donald Mann or Reardan, who was headed for Berkeley, Calif., to begin the fall term. He was studying for a doctorate.
A witness, unidentified by police, said Mann had stopped the car and made his way some 300 feet down the rocks to the water's edge to take pictures. Then he started back up, but slipped and fell to the surf.
The witness told officers the man swam in the ocean about 20 minutes but was unable to reach the beach and disappeared after he was carried out 150 geet.
Brother Won Medal
Donald Mann was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mann of Reardan and a brother of the late Joseph Mann, who received the Congregational Medal of Honor posthumously for heroism in the Eurpoean theater during World War II.
Word of the accident involving Donald Mann was received in Reardan after the departure of his parents for Nevada, where the wife of another son, Roy, in the air force, had died unexpectedly.
