Harvard Ave. and Umpqua St., has seemed slow, it has been because of the type of construction and necessary preliminary work. On Monday there appeared little more than a concrete slab floor. By Tuesday night concrete walls were oil 'in place. What is called a "tilt-up" wall type of construction was used. By this method the walls were poured flat, then lifted into place by a 35-ton crane. Concrete columns will be poured to tie them together.

Ike Will Fly Back For Season Opener AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower arranged today to fly back to Washington Monday for the Washington Senators-Boston Red Sox baseball game and toss out the first ball to open the American League season. Afterward, Eisenhower will re turn to Augusta for another two or three days of vacation and golf. Before getting onto the Augusta national course today in tempera tures pushing toward the low 8i,s Eisenhower worked lor a coupic of hours in his office at the cuib. One presidential action was the signing of a $955,370,003 bill ap propriating additional money for expenses of 10 or a dozen govern ment agencies in the present fis cal year ending June 30. The bulk of the cosh, $675,000. 000, is to restore the capital of the Commodity Credit Corporation, the agency with heavy invest ments in surplus farm products. The next largest item is 22 million for payments to schoul districts by the Department of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare. Work, Golf Round On Ike's Agenda AUGUSTA, Ga.

(AP) The forerunner of a U.S. satel lite navigation system planned to give sailors and airmen a good position fix any time in any weath er was hurl"d successfully into orbit around the earth today. The experimental space naviga tor, named Transit IB. was rock eted aloft from this missile test center just after dawn in a test with important bearing on long range missile operations. It was a Navy project with Air Force rocketry help. The sponsor ship underscored its special ap plication to the Polaris missile firing submarine whose officers will have lo know their own posi tion precisely to aim at a target hundreds of miles away. The information from Transit IB and its successors, however, is to be given to all nations. Some four hours after the satel lite went un Navy and civilian scientists said in Washington that it was in a path a little less than I 400 miles up, with an orbit time ot about 94 minutes, at an incli nation of 51 degrees with respect to the Equator. They had been snooting at a height ot 400-500 miles and an angle of SO degrees. Orbit Nearly Circular On the basis of preliminary tracking, scientists said Transit IB was in an orbit reasonaniy circular. The nearer they come lo a perfect circle with such a de vice the closer the navigational fix that can be made. At a Washington news confer ence. Dr. R. B. Kershner, of the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, which developed the device, said the trial satellite itself could provide a ship with a position 'eport with no more than a half-mile error. Later, the fully operational pro gram, using tour satellites, can give a ship anywhere in the world a fix within a quarter of a mile. Either distance is comparable lo me results ot present celestial and radio navigation and will be available regardless of weather. The first test using a ship will be made "very soon," Kershner said. System Possible Soon The complete system could be put into operation by 1902, he predicted. The 205-pound spherical pay load was hoisted on the nose of a giant Thor - Able Star rocket combination at 7:03 a.m. After explaining technical de tails of how the system works, Kershner summed it up by say ing that "a satellite goes by and a machine puts out the informa tion on the latitude and longitude" of the shin or aircraft, using spe cial receiving and computing equipment.

She also said that absentee bal lot applications are available now, Douglas County th's year will triple its school support money per census child to $30 from the pre vailing and state law-required $10, according to County Judge V. T. Jackson. The court and its budget com mittee decided on tliis steo Tues day iu Uie first meeting of the year. ihe budget group also determin ed to hold the tax levy within the county tax base about 8 mills and to expedite the completion of the North Umpqua Road as rapidly as possible. Other matters were discussed in this first session of court and committee, said Judge Jackson, laying the groundwork for future budget item considera tions. The Douglas County schoo! cen sus as of October, 1959, Uie figure on which the revenue is based, was 22,954, according lo Wiiliain Camp bell, assistant school superintend ent. The revenue of $229,540 real ized from the $10 will ballasted by $459,080 under the new $110 for mula, making a total of $088,620, according to Judge Jackson. The money goes into the school general fund, to be apportioned lo districts in proportion to the cen sus. Campbell pointed out that the census consists of persons be tween four and 19 years, not actual school enrollment. The school of ficial, elated over the added reven ue, said that Roseburg with a 8, 349 census and Dillard with 2,022 were the largest and Ash Valley with 19 the smallest in Uie county. Tax Ltviet Rsduced Added general fund money will reduce the lax levy in various dis tricts, said Campbell, in helping lo underwrite the cost of operation. Judge Jackson said that the con servative O&C estimate is for $4,. 100,000 in revenue lo Douglas Coun ty this year, against around $3, 500,000 actually realized last year. He explained that the Burea-.i of Land Management, always figur ing low lo guard against huHifpiino too high, had last year only esti mated $3,381,000 in receipts to the county, so that the $4,100,000 fig- uie cuuiu auso oe presumed lower than the money which will actually be realized. From all sources, im portantly including a share of na tional forest money, the revenue this year can bo expected to top the $6,31)6,000 budgeted for the last nscat year, said Judge Jackson. . The judge added that he person ally has always felt O&C money, beyond $10 required by state law, should be plowed back inlo the schools. That was, in fact, a good part of the concept of the fund when set up many decades ago lo return money to public use. Into Roads The county official added, how- ever, that in the past the money has necessarily gone into the build ing of basic roads and bridges in forest lands. This year's O&C mon ey will hit an all-time peak from sale of cut limber, he added, which makes it possible to add to the school support program. Jackson pointed out that of the county budget levy, 2 mills have in the past gone inlo the neces sary $10 conlribuUon to the school aid program. Tins year, ne explained, the schools will get slightly more from the county than the whole county tax base will raise. The budget committee, in regard to the North Umpqua Road, agreed with the county in financing its completion and felt it should be done quickly so that It can return revnuo in the form ol logging ac tivity, tourist travel, and from oth er sources. Countv court members Jackson, Huron Clough and Elmer Metzger and budget committee mcmners Lawrence Michaels, Harold Wool ley and Adrian Standlcy attended the session.
