This proposal was made at the amual meeting of the Amor ca Bucket Society ty Pr. I.edic Kaeburn of Spacelabs, luc , Va-. Nays, Calif. The dog. Kaehurn said, would serve as a "Sj-at'e ca-.ary" to warn ot danger if it should de velop aboard the spacecralt. "Just as ccal miners once took canaries along with then as a safety measure lo see if the air underground was fit to breathe, the astronaut should be accom panied by an animal instrument!' 1 to warn him or a ground obser ver if his physiological condition becomes abnormal." Kaeburn said. He added that a dog wculd be an astonaut's best friend in other ways, too, providing him with companionship and comfort in the lonely reaches of space. Instruments with tiny radio transmitters would he implanted surgically in the dog to report on the slate cf his heart, nervous system, brain, lungs, blood pres sure and temperature. Spacelabs scientists said they had successfully implanted a two ounce radio, three-inches long and three-eighths of an inch wide, in a dog to report its heart action. The dog, a 1 1-2-year-old male beagle named Orbit, now regular ly sends electrocardiograms which can be rccieved over con siderable distances. He has suf fered "no ill effects," Spacelabs said.

IL'PI'- A 67-year-old inventor displayed a (airly simple device today which enabled a standard V'-eight auto engine to: Bui Just as well on kerosene, alcohol or diesel fuel as it did on high octane gasoline Operate on 15 per cent less fuel than an ordinary engine. Produce two-thirds less smog ingredients in its exhaust. Cut down exhaust production of carbon monoxide to a point where it would be impossible to commit euixide in a converted car. The invention, known as the "RAM Straticharge Combustion System," was developed by Jack Hcintz in the garage of his home at 1-os Gatos, Calif. It was tested and is on display at the Stafford University engineering laboratory. Heintz, former partner in the Jack and Heintz engineering firm Kennedy Asks Program For Dairy Producers Farm Ntws Roundup WASHINGTON UPI Sen. John K. Kennedy ID-Mass. ', a Democratic presidential hopeful, has called for a self-governing price-control system for dairy pro ducers. Jn outlining parts of his basic farm program before the National Milk Producers Federation Con vention Monday night, Kennedy also urged wider use of surplus foods at home and abroad. WASHINGTON UP1 -An Ag riculture Department expert said today the nation probably would have surplus production of feed and livestock for as . far ahead as anyone could foresee. Orlin J. Scoville, head of the department's Cost, Income and Efficiency Research branch, said that as long as technologies! progress continued at its present pace, production of feeJ and livestock! would increase faster than consumption unless there was a long, severe drought. Scoville's predictions were pre pared for the department's annual farm outlook conference.

"They'ie content with the sta'n quo a id more interested in cover ing up the deficiencies of their engin.s with smog-muffler ss terns than in improving tiieir fiV-l burning potentials," he said. Heintz sa:d the auto industry's experiments with mufflers which would destroy unburned fuel after it leaves the engine by heat or catalytic action was "like invent ing rubber gloves !o repair a leak ing fountain pen." , Profesbor A.

The same would be Hue lor deprecidtnm charges and for most indusltial goods purchased by farmers, it said. 5 WASHINGTON ITI The Ag. icul.ur? Department said to day the surplus carryover of soy beans may lie cut in half durinj. the current marketing year. On Oct. I, when the marketing year began, supplies of soybeans from l'j:8 a id earlier crops, to talled a record t2 million bus'iels. By Oct. I. 1!H,1. the department expects the carryover to be down to about 35 m.ilioi bushels. i CZESSHD Choice of Colors QUALITY Store In La Grande Is Boon Engines drawbacks were "a somewhat noisier engine" and "some sac rifice in maximum power." He said, however, that he believed the auto industry could cut the noise and boost the power if it tried. The key part of the test engine is the combustion chamber. Combustion takes place in two interconnected chambers a small "pie-combustion" chamber that fits into the spark plug well, and in the main firing chamber. The small chamber has a separate inlet valve. Fuel-Air Ratio "Ltan" The system pumps fuel and air into the small chamber for light ind medium loads and into both chambers for heavier loads. The ratio of fuel to air is extremely "lean" as in diesel engines and in contrast to the "fuel-rich" mix-' lure of most gasoline engines. A spark plug ignites the mix ture in the smaller chamber, from which it explodes into the larger one. The result is over-all diesel like combustion, mote complete than ordinary combustion. In tests simulating normal driv ing, unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust the elements that pro duce smog were less than two per cent of the fuel, compared with five per cent for ordinary engines. The wealthy and now retired in ventor developed the device as a hobby and seemed unconcerned whether or not it was taken over by a manufacturer. Heintz said two large companies were interested, but he refused to name them. He said a third com pany, Food Machinery Corpora tion, was testing the system in army tanks for its cheap fuel ra'her than its anti-smog potential. Escape Injuries As Trailer Tips Ronald Reiswig and his wife of College Place. Wash., escaped injury Sunday when the 37-foot liousetrailer they were pulling lipped over their pickup truck. State Police said the mishap occurred near the Glover over pass on Highway 30. The trailer began whipping frcm side to side, tipped over the pickup and broke loose.
