CENTRAL MAIL TRIBUNE Two Rogue Valley Marines Like New Armored Vests for Battle Two local marines, Pfc Hugo D. Vernon, 19, who has been recommended for the purple heart, and Pfc. Robert C. Elrod, 23. who has received the purple heart, have been wearing a new type of armored vest in the Ko rean war, according to a report by Herman Edwards, military editor of the Oregonian. Private Vernon, former assist ant manager of the Craterian Newsmen's Wages Remain Controlled Washington U.R) Senate House conferees on the controls bill rejected a proposal that would have exempted from wage controls employees of newspap ers, magazines, radio and TV stations, and motion picture, theater and outdoor advertising enterprises. The proposal had been passed by the House, but it was deleted from the final compromise bill extending price-wage controls for another 10 months.. The provision was sponsored in the House by Rep. Paul C. Jones (D-Mo.), who noted that it would only exempt wages in industries that already are ex empt from price controls. One source said the provision was objected to in the Senate- House conference committee on grounds that it was too broad and might lead to further broad exemptions. Viruses Examined In Cancer Search Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Ua iversity of California scientists have been examing tiny cells, magnified 50,000 times, to trace and identify viruses which may have some relation to cancer. So far they have found no evidence that viruses cause hu man cancer, though they have found viruses in some animal cancers. However, the Ameri can Cancer Society Tecently gave the California scientists an other grant of money to con tinue their search. It., is.. a "needle-in-the-hay- stack hunt, because a single, almost invisible drop of fluid contains thousands of particles, according to Dr. Robley C. Wil liams, who has been working on the problem along with Dr. R. C. Backus. When the scientist puts a tiny drop of fluid under an electron microscope, he has a picture two feet wide containing many tnousands of particles. Which are the viruses and which aren't is the question. It is a slow painstaking job to isolate and identify the vir uses.

Vernon, 804 Beekman street He was wounded by some shrapnel in the thigh, but the armored vest staved off chest wounds. Serving as a fire team leader in a rifle platoon of the 3d battalion, 1st marine infan try, Private Vernon had doubt- ed the effectiveness of the eight pound vest before testing it with a .45 caliber service pistol. He shot at the vest from ten feet, and found that the slug did not penetrate it. Private Vernon is due home next month on rotation leave after serving ten months in the Korean war. He has been in the Marines for two years. Private Elrod is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Elrod, who have a farm between Phoenix and Medford. Edwards said that this marine swears by the arm ored vest, which all men going forward to the main line of re sistance are now being required to wear. Private Elrod has been in Korea ten months with the 3 battalion and expects to be com ing back to the United States in the near future.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Many of our readers when, on a cloudless day, coming to the foot of a steep hill or when climbing it, have doubtless been impressed by the unusually in tense blue and clearness of the sky along the high horizon line at the top. Horizons and blue skies are familiar sights, yet the unnatural contact of the two momentarily gives the impres sion of beholding a rare sky col oration, for most horizons are bordered with whitish haze. When looking toward a near by hilltop, one is actually gazing at a very high part of the sky where blueness is the rule. But to say this color is natural is simply the' ancient explanation which really tells us little. In stead of being blue, why is not the sky violet or green or white? Occasionally it is. Ancient Explanation Leonardo da Vinci, the paint er, 400 years ago attempted a scientific explanation when he said the blue is the combination of white sunlight with the black of outside space. Later, many others, including the great Sir Isaac Newton, offered solutions, but not until the last century was a well-proven explanation established. The blue is due to the scatter ing of the sunlight colors by the tiny particles of dust in the air, or even by the gaseous mole cules themselves. White sunlight is made up of all colors from the relatively long waves of red on through orange, yellow, green, and blue to the shortest, violet. None of these colors gets through the atmosphere in an undisturbe'd straight line to us, but the shorter the wave, the greater the scattering at random over the sky. The violet is scat tered seven times as effectively as the red. Sky Would Be Black Were it not for this property of scattering, our daytime sky would be black and even the stars would be visible in it. All places protected from direct sun light (shadows) would be in tensely dark as they are on the atmosphereless moon. In a clear sky a small amount of red is. scattered, a little more orange and yellow, a consider able green, and a great deal of blue and violet. All of this to gether, deficient in long waves and abundantly supplied with short waves, gives a color com bination which to us appears blue. Observations from very High mountain tops show a distinct violet tinge to the sky, especially overhead. Stratosphere balloon ists report darker skies the high er the elevation. The thin air above these locations scatters light less effectively than the Klamath Man Enters Plea of Not Guilty W. J. Easter, Klamath Falls, Friday entered a plea of not guilty in Judge Rawles Moore's district court to charges of ob structing a county road, accord ing to Assistant District Attor ney Robert Dickey.

Toward a distant, level hori zon, we look through nearly 40 times the thickness of air en countered toward the zenith, so scattering of all colors is much more pronounced and usually gives a whitish effect. The beau tiful greens, yellows, and reds in sunset effects are indirectly con nected with scattering of light as it comes through the denser air near the earth.

EDGERTON MOTOR CO. - 415 South Riverside THE KEYS ARE WAITING! DRIVE OUR SPECIAL "ROCKET" SHOW CAR TODAY I (Chinese Commies Scheme For Conquest Hong Kong U.R) The Communists in China have em barked on an ambitious scheme for conquest of nature building a motor road from Singkiang Province to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, according to the official New China News Agency. Construction of the road through the rugged Tibetan coun try with mountains running as high as 18,000 feet is adjudged impossible, technically and phy sically, by the best engineering brains. However, apparently because of its great military importance, the Chinese Reds are braving na ture and all hazards in attempt ing its construction. The official news agency claimed that "the People's Fighters" were doing fine thus far. Blast Through Mountains The agency claimed that road- Spanish Gold Felt Buried in Ozark Hills Springfield, Mo. (U.R) There's no evidence that the Spaniards ever toured the Missouri Ozarks and buried millions in gold in the "poor man's Rockies." Ben F. Woods has a different idea. He dug a hole 15 feet deep in the middle of Springfield in search for a "Spanish treasure" he believes is buried in the vi cinity. Some 17 years ago, a Spring field newspaper published a treasure map. The story has it that the Spaniards buried 16 to 20 wagon loads of gold and sil ver bullion in bars "somewhere in the Ozarks." Woods said he started out to find the loot and now "I'm gonna find it." He said he employed "witching," in addition to the map. Missouri's Driver License Test Tougher Jefferson City, Mo. (U.R) Missouri has junked its anti quated drivers' license require ments and installed a new, "tough" test for operators of trucks and automobiles. There was a time when a man could stagger into a store or a bank and buy a license to oper ate a machine on the highways of Missouri. The new law elim inates that possibility. An applicant now must be able to answer at least 20 of 100 important questions about driv ing. The license he earns through special tests conducted by the state highway patrol will be good for a year. State licenses may be suspend ed for as long as a year for major violations.

It is 500 miles from Chamdo to Lhasa as the crow flies. The projected road is vitally important to the Communists in supplying their occupation army in Tibet and in consolidating control of the Lamaland. The New China News Agency said construction of the road began last year and Is now being carried on with no let-up. Lives Sacrificed The agency said tremendous difficulties, sometimes almost in surmountable ones, are encoun tered in' the task and immense sacrifices in lives have been made. The agency claimed, however, that "the People's fighters led by party members have surmount ed all obstacles and are carry ing on the job as only they could do." It said that the mountains, rising abruptly to as high as 18, 000 feet, have to be scaled and swift-running rivers bridged. "The Peoples fighters" are la boring under impossible condi tions of 20 below zero weather which changed into a blistering summer heat in the middle of the day with frequent hail storms, the agency said. Bavarian Prince's Uniform Being Held Bloomington, 111. (U.R) If Prince Eugene Zu Oettingen und Wallerstein ever passes through Bloomington, he can reclaim his 10-pound full-dress uniform. The Bavarian prince left his uniform behind when he appar ently made a hasty departure from his castle during World War II. It was "salvaged" by William Roberds, of Normal, 111., who brought it back after his discharge from the Army. The gold-braided, silk-lined unifrom now is at the McLean County Historical Society, loan ed for display by Roberds. Dead line Sunday Classified! Is at noon Saturdays.

The book, measuring 4.1 milli meters (about a quarter of an inch) square, contains 20 pages, the first of which is covered with the 380 letters of the Lord's Prayer in German. The remaining 19 pages are blank, possibly for notes. Hans Waldmann, of the Munich pub lishing firm of Waldmann and Pfister, said 252 of the books fit into a match book and that each copy weighs less than half a match. The letters are so small they can only be read with the aid of a strong magnifying glass.
