figure out best method of firing proposed earth satellite to
point 300 or more miles above earth. Diagram is method used
to fire German V-2 rocket and Wac Corporal 230 miles in sky

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

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

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. It consists or tne younger

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.
