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

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

Impartial Administration in Both
Civil and Criminal Law Enforcement."

non-partisan ballot.

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.

foundation of the present-day econ

would lead eventually to a collapse
of the economy.

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.
District Chairman Earl I.add
has requested that institutional
representatives make every effort
to attend the meetings. The rep
resentatives must vote any policy
changes in the ditrict, and it is
important that units be represent
ed in any decisions of the district.
Meetings arc held the fourth
Thursday of each month at 8 p.m.
at Riverside School.

als. 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.
YOUTHS ON SPREE
Roseburg police were called to
Sayre's Sales & Service. Stephens
and Moshcr. Friday night alter it

Linkswiler stepped and then pulled
out in front of the pickup, hi'ting
it and causing it to go into a ditch
and roll over. No action was taken
by police, and there were no in

Ihe other accident was credited
to icy pavements. A car driven I
by .Mrs. Hetty Brown of Winston
started skidding on the icy pave
ment on Highway 99 about three
miles south of Koseburg. Police
said the car plunged over a bank
and rolled over several times. It

Mrs. Warren was unhurt.
The train was pushing empty
