Cooper Describes Breathtaking Flight, Says Man Can Survive Long Space Trips CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI)-As-tronaut L. Gordon Cooper under goes further medical tests and ad leaving for Washington Tuesday where he will receive the Distin guished Service Medal for his his toric 22.9 orbit flight around earth. The slightly built Air Force ma jor was relaxed and smiling dur ing Sunday's tumultuous tribute to his 575,000 mile space voyage. Wednesday, Cooper will be hon ored with a tickertape parade in New York. Plans called for him to ride in a convertible up lower Broadway through the financial district to city hall where he will be given a reception. Sunday, Cooper described his breathtaking flight probably the last manned space voyage by the United States for 18 months as firm proof man can sleep, eat and liv.e for long periods in space. He told of seeing vivid geograph ic details, sleeping soundly, eat ing on schedule although he was not too hungry and performing numerous experiments assigned to him. . "Really No Problem" Cooper described his blazing "fireball" re-entry under manual control, an emergency step that was necessary after the automatic system failed in the 20th orbit and caused anxious concern around the world. "There was really no problem," he said. There had been speculation that still another one-man space flight in the Project Mercury series might be held later this year but a top official of the federal space agency said It seemed "quite un likely." The statement by Dr. Robert C. Seamans, associate director of NASA, apparently meant the next U.S. manned space flight will not come until October, 1964, at the earliest. Seamans said a definite decision on whether there would be anoth er Mercury flight, "must be made i GAS V APPLIANCE DEALER DIRECTORY GAS RANGES Sarah's Appl.

If there are not more Mercury flights, next comes Project Gem inia program to put up two-man teams of astronauts into orbit for periods of up to two weeks. "Lonj Way to Go" The first manned Gemini flight is due sometime during the last three months of 1964. "Although we still have a long way to go in the exploration of space," Seamans said, "I doubt that we can find an astronaut who can improve on the performance of Gordon Cooper." Cooper was asked what he thought the flight proved about man's role in space. "I think we proved man Is a pretty good backup system to all these automatic systems," he re plied. To other questions, Cooper said: "The horizon was always clear, both day and night" from his cap sule. "Flashing satellites" which he dropped from behind his capsule as a visual aid check "would be a good device to help on the Sales Tax Backers Inch Nearer To Getting Program To People nightside for a rendezvous in space between two orbiting cap sules. He last saw the lights at a distance of about 17 cr 18 miles from his position. An "exercise device" in bis Faith 7 took "almost as much ex ercise to get at it as to use it." Has Tremendous View He said he first noticed the tre mendous view as Faith 7 flashed over the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East. "I could see roads and rivers, and trucks on the roads. I saw a train with smoke coming out of it. "I even saw a boat going down the river, and the wake behind it. But I couldn't see individual people." He said he could see Dallas, Tex., and the area of the federal space agency headquarters in Houston. "But I couldn't see my own house," he laughed. "They put up too many trees around it. He said Red China "looked just like it looks on the map. I couldn't see anything but just a lot of country. ' Part of China was cov ered by broken clouds." He said the "really beautiful view" however, was during three swings he made right over the snow-capped Himalaya Mountains between India and China. FARM FOREST FACTS x BY BOB BRADLEY COUNTY BCTtNSlOH FORCSTOt OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY By ZAN STARK United Press International SALEM (UPI) Sales tax advo cates may be inching closer to getting their program to the peo ple. While it appears unlikely it will happen now, indications are the sales tax issue could dominate the 1965 session. An increasing number of legis lators including many strong anti-sales tax lawmakers feel the voters should be given a chance to make the decision. It's been almost a decade since there has been a statewide vote on a sales tax. At present, the House is strong ly anti-sales tax, and the Senate is pro-sales tax. In both 1959 and 1961 the Senate substituted a sales tax for House approved tax measures. The House was able to vote down the maneuver on both occasions. Nationally, 37 states now impose sales taxes. Oregon's neighbors to the north and south, Washington and Cali fornia, levy sales taxes. Proponents argue it is a "pain less" tax, and in most cases pro duces more revenue than antici pated. Opponents charge a sales tax is unfair to low-income families, Indiana was the latest state to impose a sales tax. Four other states have boosted existing rates this year to meet the need for more revenue. Several other states are consid ering rate boosts. Others have closed "loopholes" and tightened up collection procedures. Pennsylvania is considering a .5 per cent hike which would take its sales tax to 4.5 per cent, high est in the nation. The states that do not now levy a sales tax, in addition to Oregon, are Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mon tana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Vermont i and Virginia. j Last year the sales tax states collected more than $5 billion. While a sales tax may be "pain less," it is not without its head aches. Some states ease the problem by collecting the tax on every thing. But when there are exceptions, there are headaches. If you ex- jempt food, do you also exempt restaurant meals? If drugs are ! exempted, are such items as j aspirin and band-aids considered drugs? The sales tax plan that was killed in the House this session exempted food and farm supplies. A businessman who has to pay a sales tax whon he buys a de livery truck won't agree that a farmer should be exempt from the tax when he buys a tractor. There are collection problems, and costs. The Tax Commission would have to employ an army of audi tors to keep an eye on retailers. and more auditors to handle the additional paper work. The need for more money is adding impact to the demand for a sales tax. Legislators can sidestep having to make the decision by voting to let the people make their own decision. POSTPONES VACATION WASHINGTON (UPI) - Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy has post poned her summer vacation at Hyannis Port, Mas s., until the lirst week in July. White House Press Secretary fierce baitngcr said recently the President and Mrs. Kennedy would continue to spend most of the coming weekends at Camp David, Aid.

Harvard OR 3 '34 -The-Week fe2s)rtd First-Of TOW SJHECl Making the most of what you al ready have has always been sound logic. But, how many of us really do this? Perhaps we think we do, but in reality we often do not. Recently, I visited a certain woodland in the county where the owner had cut openings in a' pure hardwood stand to plant Douglas- fir seedlings. Instead of clear cut ting the entire area, he had cut small elongated openings 110 to 115-acre in size, leaving 20 to 30 foot madrones between the clear ings. Following the clearing opera tion, he had burned the brush, scalped the planting spots and planted the trees. With the partial shade of the re maining trees and that of bracken fern which has since come in, he should achieve good results. Al though lopping and scattering of these relatively small hardwoods, instead of piling and burning, would have been better for the soil and much less work, he did show good judgment in retaining some hard wood for shade. So, essentially he made the most of what he had. In another area of his woodland, however, he had not realized the potentialities that existed. What he had missed was that in a number of places there were seedlings al ready planted for him by Mother Nature, under an overstory of ma drone and chinkapin. AU that was required here was to cut the hard woods that were overtopping or threatening to overtop the young firs and pines. Other stands, some already of commercial size, were in need of thinning. By cutting the slow grow ing and poorly formed trees, the others would develop faster. And so it is that when we make the most of existing situations, we attain the maximum returns.
