Solution of that prob lim has built a new industry. Many electronic device are so delicate that they cannot stand fhock. changes in climate, damp ness and myriad other seemingly little inconveniences. They are mighty temperamental gadgets. ho Cargo Packers, Inc., of Ulcn dale. N Y., sprang up to take the packing and shipping tasks off the manufacturers' shoulders. Cargo Packers went about its new business in as scientific man ner as the manufacturers pro duced their electronic devices. It Each different device to be sliipp d is studied in the firm's research tnd testing laboratories. When a packaging problem- is tackled, dummy samples oi the item to be packed are constructed by the model making department, placed in a proposed package aid then subjected to exhaustive tests fur shock, vibration, heat. cold, moisture, contamination, crushing, piercing, abrasion, and pilferage. Results Analyied Graphic recorders tell what is happening inside the package. Re sults are carefully analyzed and checked before a final decision is Ex-Fighter Who Killed Man With Fists Shot In Prison FLORKNCE. Ariz. (UP1- A former golden gloves boxer from Montana who killed a man with his fists was shot and killed early today by a guard during a break out attempt at the state prison. Warden Frank Eyman identified the victim as Paul Francis Hend ricks, 25. who was serving a term of 5 to 10 years for manslaughter in Tucson. Ariz. Two other inmates also attempt ing to scale the north fence sur rendered when the guard shot Hilndricks in the back. The guard was Jose R. L. Es trada. The other inmates were J. U. I! ice, 20. a burglary convict, and liobert Tyrey, 18, who was serving terms for receiving stolen properly and for grand theft, They were pbieed into solitary con finement for 30 days each. Both were convicted in Phoenix. Hendricks' body fell into the yard.

The next bullet struck the convict. Hendricks' mother is Mrs. M. Erlandson, Missoula, Mont. After a five-day trial in Pima County Superior Court at Tucson, a first - degree murder charge agahst Hendricks was reduced to manslaughter and he pleaded guilty. He punched and kicked Charles D. McKalsen, 31, a Tucson elec trician, to death last spring and was imprisoned Aug. 9. The airman testified he was shocked, scared and ashamed of his act. At the lime of his arrest, he boasted of his punching ability. An autopsy showed McKalsen died from blows to his chest. Hendricks testified he butted into an argument that led to the fight outside a Tucson tavern. McKalsen died 20 minutes later. made on the type and desien of cushioning or container materials. The firm makes sure iuert cush ioning materials guard against contaminating the product. Of course, there's the problem of weight to coih? with. The firm keeps the cushioning material to a weight less than the product and makes the package compact to save valuable cargo and storage space.

Ail Army helicopter crew made a systematic .check today for stranded families on snowbound farms and ranches across the wet mountain valley in southern Colorado. At the same time crews using snowplows, Army weasels and other heavy equipment resumed efforts to open snow-clogged rural roads so rangers could haul feed to thousands of head of cattle and sheep stranded on summer ranges. Ten persons were brought out of the valley rimmed by the San gre de C'isto Mountains Sunday by helicopter. Among those res cued were the Don Hanson fam ily, including the Hanson's 4-month-old daughter. The Custer County sheriff's of fice said apparently most of the persons isolated had plenty of food and other supplies. No deaths or injuries have been re ported. Most of the valley has been cut off from civilization since the storm struck last Monday night Four feet of snow fell during the five-day storm. Telephone com munications, tcmporarly restored Saturday, failed again Sunday night. Crews hoped to have lines repaired early today. i . Sunny skies and warmer tem peratures returned to the area today. Rebekah Lodge Of Wallowa Holds Meet WALLOWA (Special) The Re bekah .Lodge held its district meeting at Lostine recently.

Angel food cake, coffee and tea were served. . facilities. This white room w as adopted to meet specifications of the na val engineering and experiment station in Annapolis, Md. after tests involving three and a half years of field use at sea. Transparent Cases Spare parts were packaged in ultra-pure environmental condi tions in transparent cases. The method eliminated the need of opening tbe packages to see what they contained, thereby exposing them to corrosive influences. J.B. Kupersmit. p'esident of Cargo Packers, designed the "white room" which has incor porated into its design the vital elements necessary to insure against contamination, such as a dust free atmosphere, humidity and temperature control and elim ination of corrosive gases. Workers in the room wash their face and hands in the locker area, enter a restricted decontamination room where they further cleanse their hands and place them under a hot-air dryer which projects ultra-violet rays for further cleansing. They don special pro tective clothing, including plastic booties and rubber gloves and then enter the "white room." Air pressure within the "white room" is greater than that in the decontamination room to enable air to rush out rather than in when the door is opened.
