2 The Newt-Review. Roioburt. Of Sat. Jon. 28, 1956 Public May Be Able To See Earth Satellite Zooming Around Middle Of The Earth By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON I American scientists aim to send their first satellites zooming through the heavens in a path around the mid dle of the earth, where the ma-1 jority of the world's peoples may see the sight. The National Academy of Sci ences, announcing new details for the satellite phase of the Interna tional Geophysical Year program in 1957-58, said the intended path would be in a lane about 5,500 miles wide straddling the equator. With radio, radar, telescopes and sometimes just ordinary eyesight, it mi?ht be seen or traced by sci entists and the merely curious from Tokyo to Melbourne, Austral ia. Us weaving course would carry It over scores of countries, includ ing part of Russia, during its sev eral weeks or months of life. In Boulder, Colo., Dr. Sydney Chapman, noted British physicist who heads the IGY planning, re ferred to the "generous effort and skill of your country" in under taking the satclite launching. But he noted that the scientific Ira Byrd, Cecil Bever File For Sheriff Post (Continued from Page One) resigned as deputy sheriff here last February to enter business as a private log hauler. Bcvcr was an unsuccessful can didate for Democratic nomination for sheriff in 1952. Bcvcr is 50 years old and married. Mohr has been Glendale justice of the peace for one 6-ycar term. A resident of Glendale for nearly 19 years, he is owner ol a shoe store there. Byrcl has led an active career in community enterprises. Current ly, he's Douglas County chapter chairman of the American ilea Cross, K o.e bur K squadron com mander of the Civil Air Patrol and deputy director of Douglas County Civil Defense. He also is past pres ident of the Hose burg YMCA and a former scoutmaster, having formed the first air explorer unit for Boy Scouts in Douglas County. He holds memberships in the Elks and Kiwanis and is a 32nd degree .Mason. During World War II, he was a civilian flying instructor for the Army Air Forces. Byrd's ballot slogan is: "Fair and Impartial Enforcement: "on ost, Economical Administration; Close Cooperation With All Agen cies." Bcver's ballot slogan Is: 'An Impartial Administration in Both Civil and Criminal Law Enforcement." Mohr'i nnmo will appear on a non-partisan ballot. fdculla "tiill HononH mirrh alsn nn I the part taken by other countries in unserving me uiuin uu m iv ceiving messages coming from the satellites." The information obtained is to be shared among all participating countries, including Russia. The Russians have announced in tentions to launch some satellites of their own, but Dr. Chapman said he thinks America will have its version into space first. The apparent weaving course of the American satellite will result from the inclined, elliptical orbit into which the scientists hope to launch it. As the earth rotates un der the inclined ellipse, the satel lite will sail sometimes far to the northern edge of the range, some times to the South. Its orbit will bring it down at times to within 200 miles of the surface, then send it up at other times to 800 miles. "Under good atmospheric con ditions," the scientists said, "the unaided eye, when the satellite has an altitude for 200 miles, will be able to detect it at about a maximum distance of 100 miles away from the track and about 200 miles away at altitudes be tween 600 and 800 miles." An observer who mifht be stand ing directly under the track of the satellite will have to look fast it will travel from horizon to hori zon in from eight to 12 minutes. The IGY plans to issue a time table in advance of each satellite launching, to show the time and Klace at which the satellite may e expected to be seen. No date has yet been set. The approximate 30-inch diam eter for the satellites, give in this latest announcement by IGY, is larger man the 20-inch 'basket ban" dimensions first mentioned when President Eisenhower an nounced "project vanguard" last July.

It's Not Too Early To Start Planning Outdoor Camping Despite the weather, it's not too early to start planning for outdoor camping. That was the main 'subject of dis cussion at the regular monthly meeting of the Douglas Fir Dis trict of Boy Scouts. On hand for the session at Riv erside School was Wilson Jcwett Jr. of Eugene, camping chairman of the Oregon Train Council, of which the district is a part. Initial plans for scout camping next summer, with early registra tion being pushed, were laid at the meeting, according to Bill Scarth, district executive. Charles S. Col lins of Roseburg is district camp ing chairman. In other business, the tremen dous lack of sponsors for scouting in this area was discussed, Scarth said. Plans were made to contact various institutions and give them an opportunity to sponsor units. About one-third of the 30 insti tutional representatives now com prising the district's governing body were in attendance Thurs day night.

He said it is the consensus that the project could be cut back as private housing becomes avail able until it reaches a point where the project is no longer needed. Then, it should be closed down. Dondero reported at this point that such a program was being followed. He said the no-bedroom and one-bedroom units are being closed up or consolidated with two or three-bedroom units. He said this process will be continued un til only 65 units are left. McKinley also brought up t h e point that many of the families in the project could pay more rent than they are. He said he had taken a survey of 21 families in the project and found the lowest income family received $3,720 and the highest $5,616. He said the av erage is $1,344. He said it may hurry the eventual closure of the project to set a limit on incomes. Dondero reported such an income limit was being pondered by the authority. Dondero related that acutally nothing can be done immediately because under federal law, the mortgage on the project must be liquidated from rent proceeds be fore the bousing project can De razed. Payments on the mortgage will be completed in 1958. All present appeared to agree that nothing more need be done until at least that year. And Mc Kinley admitted that the project at least aided those with large families and-or low incomes. Dondero indicated the date of closure should be pushed even farther away. He said a survey of the private rental housing availa ble should be made before any drastic steps are taken. This may not become possible until the next federal census in 1960.
