Cullen, aberdeen an gus ca'.'.le breeder of Franeta ranch on Ross lane, who was surprised by a rare occurrence Friday, was even more aston ished yesterday. Cullen reported that a regis tered angus cow gave birth to twin heifers Friday. He pointed out that twin calves are a rar ity and that he had never before heard of such births in the par ticular breed. Twins of the same sex are even more unusual, ac cording to Cullen. Yesterday another cow on the ranch gave birth to twin bulls. Both sets of twins were sired by Kirtlnnd Rhea Escort, Sun beam bull of Kirtland farms, Cullen said. Dam of the heif ers was Kirtland Queen Lady, bought from Kirtland farms. Cullen only recently joined the American Aberdeen Angus Breeders association. A similar raritv occurred onlv last month, when E. R. Hull, op erator of the Red Skin orchard in the Table Rock area, reported two sels of twin calves born on the same day.

(U.R) Some day about 50 years from now, a space ship may make the 240,-000-mile trip to the moon, and return to the earth within 24 hours. That is the belief of J. P. Col bert, professor of civil engineer ing at the University of Nebras ka. He is confident science will solve the problem of fueling a giant rocket ship for the expe diiton by about the year 2000. According to Colbert's predic tions, the ship will take off at an almost perpendicular angle and hurtle through the air at the necessary sevcn-miles-per-second "escape speed." Once the plane is clear of the air surrounding the earth, he said, its rockets can be cut off and it can coast through space a large part of the time. He estimated the journey will take about nine hours. The aircraft will have to land stern first, Colbert said, using its rockets to break the impact of the landing. The arrival on the moon will be timed for the "dawn line," just as that planet's 336-hour "day" is beginning, Colbert said. The temperature there reaches the hotter-than-boiling point of 214 degrees when the sun is di rectly overhead, he noted, and the two-weeks-long "nights" get as cold at 215 degrees below zero. Therefore men must plan to arrive at the most temperate time, he explained. Astronomers believe men can remain safely on the moon one or two hours before beginning the return voyage, Colbert said. The takeoff from the moon will be far easier, he said, since its gravity is only one-sixth as strong as the earth's. SCHEDULrT REVISED West Coast airlines today an nounced two revisions in north bound schedules. The first north bound flight now leaves here at 9 a.m., giving businessmen an ex tra hour in Portland oh one-day trips, and an afternoon flight to the north leaves at 4:45 p.m. The new schedule has been in effect since February 1.
