(International) Siskiyou Supervisors Vole Levy for Roads Yreka The board of super Visors of cSiskiyou county has voted to levy a general property tax of 20 cents on each $100 as sessed valuation for county roads. The levy will raise some $9.7, 600 for the road department, which would have gone an esti mated $84,500 into the red with out it, the supervisors said. Western Hotels Leases Olympic in Seattle (Portland (U.R) A large hotel corporation said today it leased the 1000-room Olympic hotel in Seattle. The lease was acquired by Western Hotels, Inc., which rflperates 21 hotels in 16 Western cities, from-William Edris, for mer Olympic operator. Price of the lease was not disclosed. Harvard Boasts Largest Bass Drum in Nation Cambridge, Mass. (U.R) Har vard hopes to regain the title of college bass drum champ. For many years Harvard's band boasted the biggest bass drum in the nation. But last year this oversize instrument col lapsed and had to be retired . Now Harvard is awaiting de livery of a replacement, an $800 bass drum that is six feet in diameter and two feet deep. This compares with the University of Florida's bass drum which also is 72 inches in diameter but is only 22 inches deep. TOKYO STORM FATAL Tokyo (U.R) A freak cold wave hit this sweltering city Wednesday and caused violent thunderstorms that killed at least seven persons, burned several houses and snarled railway traffic. . Geophysics Said Nothing Mew; Widest Coordinated Understanding Necessary Editor's Note: Professor Marcel Kic. olet, who wrote the following dispatch for United Press, is secretary-general of the special committee for the Inter national Geophysical Vear, 1957-58, in which the United States plans to launch the first artificial earth satel lites. At 43, Nicolet is an internation ally acknowledged expert on high at mosphere physics and meteorology. By PROF. MARCEL NICOLET Written for United Press Brussels (U.R) In the past week the world has been bom barded by the word "geophysics." Its imagination has been caught by America's project to fire a satellite into outer space. Geophysics is nothing new. Of all sciences it necessitates the widest coordinated understand ing of experimental, theoretical and mathematical problems. Geophysical observations are only of value when they are syn chronized on a global scale and in large numbers. Must Complement Each Other In terrestrial and atmospheric physics and aeronomy (the new word which has sprung up to de fine physical processes occur ring at high altitudes) it has be come evident that observations must complement each other if any progress is to be made. For example, in mathematical research connected with geo physics the scientists must pos sess a profound knowledgee of several scientific subjects in or der to simplify his mathematical expressions. The Geophysical Year was conceived by Dr. L. V. Berkner, president of the Associated Uni versities Inc., and former mem ber of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The first step will be in the field of meteorology, with estab lishment of a network of sta tions to sound out the higher lay ers of the atmosphere. This net work will extend from the North Pole to the South Pole. Lights To Be Observed The northern and southern lights (auroras) will be observed from a chain of stations situated around the earth about 20 de grees from each pole. In addition, more than 100 sta tions will send radio waves into the Ionosphere in order to de termine with extreme accuracy Three-Way Power Struggle Said Being Fought Out in Argentina Use Mail Tribune Want Ads Santiago, Chile (U.R) A grim three-way struggle for power is being fought out behind the scenes in Argentina. Trustworthy advices from Buenos Aires said today that: 1. President Juan D. Peron is trying to regain the prestige he lost in his fight with the Roman Catholic Church. 2. The army is trying to ease Peron out gently. 3. The remnants of the men who organized the June 16 re volt against Peron have not given up. The original movement against Peron was not restricted to the navy, as was indicated at the time. It was more wide spread than is generally realized. Gain in Strength Believed Peron evidently believes he is gaining strength. This is shown by the bolder tone of the edi torials in the Peronist news papers. The army is plagued Dy jeal ousies and other difficulties. Its top brass lacks a candidate for leadership who is capable of or ganizing and maintaining sup port. The army also is handicapped by the fact that some of its leaders have been pretty well bought by Peron. Some of them own big estates and have en joyed various kinds of rakeoffs. There is "a third force in the army.

Refuses Radio Time An indication that Peron feels stronger in his refusal to grant radio time to Dr. Jorge Perkins, a leader of the Radical party, Laughlin Steel Starts Work on Runway for Crane Installation of steel supports for a crane runway started today at the Laughlin Alloy Steel com pany plant at White City, J. N, Laughlin, president of the com pany, has announced. Concrete piers for the 260-foot, 10-ton crane were poured last week, and foundation for the building has been completed.. The steel building will be erected as soon as the crane runway - is complete, Laughlin said. The new building will be an extension of the present struc ture, which was a machine shop for repairing heavy army equip ment at Camp White during World War II. The new structure will house electric furnaces and melting facilities, and the old building will house casting facili ties. A 20-ton transformer for the plant has arrived from Portland and electric furnaces are expect ed soon. David irudeau, who came here from New Jersey, will be melting and foundry department manager, Laughlin said. 30 To Arrive For Reunion of Band About 30 out-of-town people are expected to arrive begin ing Friday to attend the 10th annual reunion of the former band .members of the 249tb coast artillery of the 41st divi sion, Mrs. Claude Lewis, wife of the local chairman- said today . The reunion will be held at the Rogue River lodge where the visitors also will stay foi the week end. The .banquet is set for Saturday evening and a picnic will be held on the lawns of the lodge on Sunday. The picnic is open to all friends of the group who wish to attend. Charles Goold, father of Mrs. Lewis, has made a plaque in the form of the insignia formerly worn by the bandsmen, which will commemorate the various reunions and will be presented each year to the chairman of the events, known in the organi zation as "The Big Red Bird." Salem Man Succumbs To Race Track Hurts Salem (U.R) Richard S. Ketchum, 21, Salem, died in a local hospital yesterday from in juries suffered at a race track accident here last Saturday. Ketchum was one of five per sons injured when a race car struck a guard rail near a turn. The others were not hurt ser iously. Ketchum was born at McMinn ville in 1933 and attended Amity high school. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ketchum of Salem. Mental Health Survey Planned in Oregon Salem (U.R) Preliminary plans for a comprehensive men tal health survey in Oregon in the next few months were made here yesterday by a committee of professional and lay volun teers. The committee, appointed by Gov. Paul L. Patterson, proposed to mail several thousand copies of questionnaires to educators, doctors, psychologists and others throughout the state. The returned forms will be after granting time previously 'to another opposition leader. Another indication is in the report that the Workers Federa tion, the Peronist Labor union, and the Nationalistic Alianza Nacional are heavily armed. Pictures of Peron, which for a while practically disappeared from the official press, are now appearing again daily. Diplomats who have seen Peron report that he is acting cock again. He was somewhat subdued for the first five weeks after the June 16 revolt. the physical conditions prevail ing there and to predict with certitude the circumstances in which radio communication is possible. And this will be carried out during the "year" simultaneous ly with international studies in such sciences as glaceology and oceanography. High -Altitude Readings These ground observations will be complemented by high alti tude readings from rockets to be launched from the United States, the Arctic, the Antarctic, Japan, Australia, the Sahara, etc. The rockets will transmit back infor mation concerning temperature, density, pressure, radiation, etc. To complete these varied ob servations it was suggested at the special committee meeting in Rome last October that the possibility of launching a satel lite be studied. Last Friday's announcement that the United States would build such a satellite completed the chain.
