Seattle residents told so many big stories
about the fair they scared themselves off
For over a year, Seattle has been
In a dither about its Century 21 expo
sition. Buildings have been going up,
following a period in which some build
ibgs were torn down. A promotion
cnmmiltpe has been whipping up en
thusiasm. And the fair is quite a show. It
'.has been getting all the space in the
; Seat tie newspapers of late. Up there
;the fair is even more important than
the elephant and her baby have been
to Portland papers.
! Each day it seems, another load of
; out-of-state visitors hits the exposition
; grounds, to be greeted by photogra
phers and a small crowd. Everyone
listens and applauds politely after the
spokesman for the group explains why
Texas, or North Carolina, or Maine, is
happy to send a delegation, and why
jjt feels such close ties with Seattle.
(One group which was not greeted

appearance and behavior.)

As fair time approached, various
experts spent a great deal of time
making predictions about the crowds
on opening weekend. Some said there
would be 100,000 people there on each
of the two days. Others were less con
servative. Still others pointed out this
would tax parking lots past their capa
city. The monorail would be unable to
handle crowds from the downtown
area.
Local bus companies dragged out
every piece of equipment which would
run including some which didn't run
so well. Every person in Seattle who
ever had driven a taxlcab was asked
to register to drive during the emer
gency. The great day arrived.
And when it did come, so many
Seattle residents had heard the dire
predictions that they stayed away in
droves, in spite of near-perfect weather.
Crowds for the first two-day total were
below the predictions for either of the
days.
The fair picked up steam pretty
quickly. By this last weekend crowds
had started to get to the numbers spon
sors of the fair had expected.
But it's still, at least as of this

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
JFK spells out satellite
plans to space director
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON - President
Kennedy impatiently pushed aside
the New York Times the other
morning and placed a telephone
call to James Webb, the civilian
space boss.
The President was displeased
over a Times report that the gov
ernment wasn't pushing its pro
posal for a satellite communica
tions system.
Webb happens to be a political
protege of Sen. Bob Kerr, Okla
homa Democrat, who wants to
turn space communications over
to the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
This makes about as much
sense, Dr: Dallas Smythe told a
Senate committee, as "giving the
American railroads, say in 1921,
the exclusive right to own and
operate commercial airlines."
Smythe Is research communica
tions specialist at the University
of Illinois.
He testified that A. T. !e T. is
already an economic octopus of
staggering size.
"Bell system revenues in 1959
he reported, "were greater than
the national public revenues of
Canada and Sweden combined. . .
Putting the matter differently, to
equal the Bell system assets at
the end of 1959, one would have to
combine the total assets of Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, General
Motors, and U.S. Steel."
The President has rejected the
idea of letting A T. & T. take
over the satellite communications
system. He would turn it over in
stead to private investors, includ
ing A. T. & T.
On the phone, he made it clear
that he expected Webb to support
his, not Senator Kerr's, ideas, and
to show more enthusiasm for the
proposal.
Professor vs. Tycoon
This is Die tale of a history pro
fessor and an oil tycoon.
The professor is red - haired,
bushy-browed Dr. Larry Gara,
whose conscience keeps getting
him in trouble. A devout Quaker,
he spent three years in jail during
World War II for refusing to reg
ister for the draft, drew another
jail sentence in 11)49 (later re
voked! for allegedly urging a
student to evade the draft.
The tycoon is Sun Oil's stern,
stubborn chief, J. Howard Pew,
a Rock-of-Gibraltar conservative,
whose convictions also get him
into hot water.
Gara had been teaching at Tiny
Grove City (Pa. I College, which
Pew endows and dominates. Pew
not only runs the board of trust
ees but had loaded it with rela
tives. Inevitably the views of the
pacifist professor and the militant
tycoon clashed. Pew didn't like
Gara's liberal views.
This was followed by the sud
den appearance of two investiga
tors in the Grove City environs
snooping into Gara's activities.
One has now been identified as
John Frank, formerly an agent
for the late dictator Rafael
Trujillo of the Dominican Repub
lic, more recently accused of
"bugging" an El Paso gas com
pany suite at Washington's May
flower Hotel.
The other private eye remains
a mystery man, identified only as
M. M. Murphy.
Shortly after they finished their
investigation, a cryptic telegram
arrived at Grove City College
from J. Howard Pew.
Addressed to Hr. J. Stanley
Harker, college president, the
wire said simply: "Kire Gara."
The red-haired professor is no
longer teaching at Pew's college.
Note Neither Tew nor Darker
could be reached bv this column

ter, after learning who was
calling, the office claimed Dr.
Harker was on a road trip and
couldn't be contacted.

plan urged
by Governor
SALEM (UPII More than 600
merchants and labor, business
and farm leaders crowded into
the Capitol Building Monday after
noon as Gov. Mark Hatfield urged
litem to sell Oregon to tourists,
and showed them how to do it.
The gathering also included a
large number of mayors, chamber
of commerce officials and other
local government representatives.
Hatfield who called the mass
meeting and other officials toss
ed out dozens of ideas to make
Oregon hospitality pay off bigger
than ever this summer because
of an influx of visitors going to
and from the world's fair in Se
attle.
Among other things, Hatfield
suggested that:
Green welcome mat signs be
painted in airport, train and bus
terminals. The state has done this
on highway entrances to the state.
Cities put up welcome signs
at their entrances.
Every community conduct
clean up. paint up campaigns.
Antilittcr bug campaigns be
stressed.
Hotels, motels and others
avoid price gouging.
Hatfield announced that the
state travel information division
is getting another staff member
who will direct efforts to get busi

Chairman Glenn Jackson of the
Oregon Highway Commission
stressed how valuable an asset
recreation is to Oregon business.
Chairman Gerald Frank of Hat

Scientists say
moon actually
Xray machine'
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Scien
tists have discovered that the
seemingly inert moon is a giant
X-ray machine.
Dr. Richard W. Porter, New
York, told the International Com
mittee on Space Research today
that the moon emits X-rays in
response to a heavy bombardment
it receives from solar and cosmic
radiation.
These so-c ailed secondary
X-rays are among the lunar char
acteristics which the United States
wants to investigate with space
instruments before it undertakes
to land a man on the moon and
bring him back.
Porter, chief U.S. delegate to
COSPAR, presented a summary
report of American space achieve
ments to the third international
symposium on space science open
ing here today.
COSPAR is an organization of
space scientists from 18 nations.
Nearly 1,000 are gathered for the
first international symposium to
be held in this country. The 19
member Soviet delegation includes
cosmonaut Gherman S. Titov.
Porter said that in 1961 the
United States launched more than
300 high-altitude balloons carrying
scientific equipment to investigate
the upper atmosphere.
In the same period, it launched
nearly 900 high-altitude weather
rockets. In addition, it shot into
space more than 75 larger rockets
to investigate the environment in
which men someday will travel
on their way from the earth to
destinations among the planets.
Accomplishing even more than
these rockets were 31 artificial
earth satellites and deep-space
probes sent out to distances of
of many thousands of miles.
Porter said that it had been
theoretically predicted that the
moon would emit X-rays as a re
sult of the unremitting bombard
ment to which it is subjected by
cosmic and solar radiation.
He said instruments were flown
on a high-altitude rocket "to de
termine 1 whether or not X-radia-tion
from the moon could indeed
be detected." The experiment was
successful and the suspected ra
diation was found to exist.

Bloodmobile visit
booked for Wednesday
To Uie Editor:
The Red Cross Bloodmobile is
making the second of its four an
nual visits to Bend tomorrow,
Wednesday, May 2nd, in Uie Elks
basement, all afternoon.
As usual, we are asking all
able bodied men and women to
contribute the pint of blood that
may save the life of someone
close to them.
I have been donating blood for
many years, but like most people,
I had never had a transfusion,
and frankly, I had no plans for
one.
However, following an accident
last fall. I was typed and cross
matched for a couple pints of
blood, as I was suspected of in
ternal bleeding and Uie possibil
ity of emergency surgery existed.
As it happened, Uie surgery,
and the blood were not neces
sary, but the fact that the life
saving blood was '"standing by"
made me a lot happier. One of
the problems of a sick doctor ts
that he can think of many more
horrible possibilities and alterna
tives than can the average pa
tient! I am sure that many hos
pitalized patients are not aware
that several pints of blood have
been crossmatched to their blood.
I and are on "standby" if Uiey are
needed. Thus most of our Red
j Cross blood is doing double, tri
ple, and even more duty! And
j the blood itself is always free,
the only charge being for match
ing, typing and the disposable ad
ministration set and administra
tion. So please donate Uie pint of
blood your body can so easily re
place, for Uie protection and
health of your family and your
self. Sincerely,
George D. McGeary,
M.D.
