Republican
Party Leads in
Alaska Vote
JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 1H-A
republican tide ran strongly to
day in mounting returns from yes
terday's Alaska election.
As unofficial returns came in
from scattered communities today,
republicans led for six out of
eight senate seats in the four di
visions.
They led for 12 seats in the
Alaska House of Representatives
while the democrats led for eight.
The swing toward the republi
cans in the legislative races posed
the question of whether the slo
gan, "as Alaska goes, so goes the
nation," will hold true again.
Alaska and the nation voted
democratic together during the
30's and early 40's. Then Alaska
elected mostly republicans to the
legislature in 1946. The nation did
likewise a month later. Alaska
swung back to the democratic
column again in 1948. So did the
states.

System
Approved
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 -P-
Columbia broadcasting systems
color television plan was officially
adopted today as the national col
or system and the company an
nounced plans for an early start
on regular operations.
Selection of CBS color for ex
clusive commercial licensing was
announced by the federal commu
nications commission, which dis
closed that it had split 5 to 2
on the action.
The majority decision made fin
al FCC's tentative decision of Sep
tember 1 to choose the Columbia
system over rival systems devel
oped by Radio corporation of
America and Color Television, Inc.
of San Francisco.
The commission noted again
that CBS color is not "compat
ible" with present televising stan
dards that is, it cannot be picked
up, even in black and white, by
existing sets without the purchase
of additional equipment. However,
FCC asserted that the quality of
Columbia color and its relative
operating simplicity, involving the
use of a motor - driven color-
wheel, recommended it above the
others.
Action Criticized
Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff, board
chairman of RCA, which only two
weeks ago asked for an opportun
ity to demonstrate late improve
ments before a decision was made,
sharply criticized the action.
He si 1 it was "scientifically un
sound and against public interest
and said present and future set
owners would spend hundreds of
millions of dollars to get "a de
graded picture with an incompat
ible system."
CBS has said that adapters for
present sets, to enable them to
get CBS color in black and white,
can be produced for something
between $15 and $25. The company
has estimated that an additional
converter, for use with the adapt
er, in order to get the picture in
color, would cost from $50 to $75,
Xe Immediate Action
PORTLAND. Oct. ll-UPV-Radio
station officials here today ' said
the FCC decision on color televi
sion would mean little immedi
ately in this city, the largest in
the nation without television
broadcasts.
There are five channels tenta
tively allocated to Portland, but
presently no construction permits
are pending before the federal
agency. The FCC order was in
terpreted as a step toward lifting
the freeze on new stations, but it
would be well into 1951 before
a station could be authorized and
built for Portland.
New applications, hearings and
related legal procedure would be
necessary, radio officials said.

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 1U(JP)
The United States Hoday accepted
in principle Soviet proposals call

on maintaining peace and for a

Invisible StarsTransmitting

SCHENECTADY, N. V , Oct. 11
-(P)-Radi stars, invisible and

They are called radio stars be
cause they send short-wave sig

' ' If the stations are stars they
must be cold and dead because
they emit no light and no tele

even one of them. ' : - :
" Sir Lawrence Bragg, director of
the Cavendish laboratory, Cam

about them in an interview, which

Lebanon Man Ready to Return
Blood After 84 Transfusions
Statesman News Service " -
LEBANON, Oct 11 A 22-year-old Mormon missionary gave a
pint of blood during the Red Cross
this week.
-For him, it was the first payment back In return for 84 pints
of blood he has received from others. - .-- : r
Dean Parks was a high school
he first contracted osteomyelitis,
a serious bone, infection. For
three years he lay in the Mormon
hospital at Salt Lake, three months
of that tune unconscious. For two
more years he never walked; then
came 18 months of getting about
on crutches.
During his hospital stay his
physician advised amputation of
both legs at the knee to save his
life. Six other doctors agreed with
the youth's physician, but Parks
wouldn't He asked for the 1000
to 1 chance his doctor told him
abdut. A series of operations
might succeed.
35 Operations
A total of 35 operations were
performed on his body, .32 of them
major surgery. Between each
operation additional blood had to
be given him. His father donated
whenevebr possible, but most of
the 84 pints had to be purchased,
at prices that ranged from $35
to $50 for. each pint.
Then penicillin was discovered.
The miracle drug halted the bone
infection that was destroying his
body. Slowly the bones grew
stronger. Gone however, were
hopes for continuation in his fav
orite sports of basketball and
baseball, for Dean Parks had been
a credit to his basketball club and
shone on the pitching mound in
baseball games. i
Terrific Cost to Parents
He remembers the terrific cost
his parents paid, for blood to save
his life. The Red Cross blood pro
gram, with plasma furnished by
volunteer donors and released
free to patients in hospitals meant
a lot to him.
He eagerly volunteered to give
his first pint of blod, just one
month after a new physician had
told him that he was again able
to resume, normal activities.

Sir Lawrence said it is only a
guess that radio stars are cold, so
lid bodies but ne saia n true uiey
offer an explanation oi radio sig
nals. They probably are smaller than
the sun, -bigger than the planets
and probably have no -atmospheres.
Such, bodies conceivably
can emit radio signals because of

crusts. . -
r Fifty radio stars are known. All

compared with the millions of

scientists expect to locate radio

tatives of cities in this area, today
agreed on a program to build a
community-owned hospital In
Stayton. - '
M. Van Driesche, Stayton Cham
ber of Commerce president said
the hospital would serve Idanha,
Detroit Gates; Mill City, Lycns,
Mehama, Stayton, Sublimity,
Shaw, Aumsville, West Stayton,
Turner, Marion, Sclo and Jordan.
To be known as Santiam Memo
rial hospital, the institution will
be constructed with funds through
memorial plaques and member
ships. The hospital will be non
profit and non-sectarian.'
Each person or organization do
nating $100 or more will have one
vote in the annual election of di
rectors and on policy matters.
There will be 21 directors.
Those subscribing to less than
$100 will be known as associate
members, who will be able to at
tend meetings but will not be en
titled to vote. , .
The funds campaign office will
be located in the Chevrolet garage
on Third street. Another office will
be established, in Mill City as the
center of the canyon area drive.
L. D. Barr, Oakland, Calif., hos
pital finance expert pointed out
today that "eight of every 100 citi
zens in this area will need hospital
service each year. If the truth were
known, a number of lives are lost
each year and the health of many
impaired because of the lack of an
adequate, well equipped hospital
in the Santiam canyon area." .
Barr said the need for a hospi
tal at Stayton. is particularly acute
because hospitals in Salem and
Portland are overcrowded with
their own residents and are unable
to accommodate the growing popu
lation around Stayton. -
