After tfce Supreme Court outlawed rac jgl efcgregation in public scttools last year President Eisenhower Potato Regulations Effective Nov. 1 Salem (U.R) A new set of po tato grades and standards for Oregon will become effective Nov. 1, according to Frank Mc KeSJion, plant chief of the State Department of Agriculture. . The order results from the 1955 revisions of the state pota toe law. Principal changes from grades now in effect include: 1. Addition of recent federal revisions to the U.S. grades. Five of the nine grades adopted in Oregon follow the federal grade names and standards. 2. Provision for use of U.S. commercial grade, not recog nized under the prior state grades. This grade is included at the request of a majority of h o s e attending the hearings which preceded the grade order. - 3. Addition of Oregon 034 cent grade to substitute for Ore gon combination grade. This grade must meet all quality standards of U.S. No. 1 potatoes, except an increased tolerance is permitted for internal discolor ation. 4. Minor changes were made in Oregon standard and Oregon utility grades to bring them in line with Idaho standards for similar grades. NO JUSTICE . South Kingston, R. I. (U.R) While Chester B. Lakomski was rescuing an exhausted swimmer from East Matunuck Beach, a thief entered his automobile and stole a wallet containing $22. - said he hoped Washington would be "an example to the nation" in making integration work. - Today,' school officials said they believed the nation's capital had fulfilled the President's ex pectation. . "It's not perfect yet," said one member of the District of Colum bia Board of Education. "But we have made remarkable progress. Things are going very smoothly." .Washington was. the first big city ' with a segregated school system, to put the Supreme court's desegregation order into effect. ' District of Cojumbia school of ficials began integration immed iately but gradually ,at the start of the 1954-95 school year. The scattered student demonstrations last fall more spectacular than serious have given way this year" to an "all quiet" atmos phere.. ; School boundaries were not made compulsory for high school seniors last year and they were allowed to attend schools away from their home neighborhoods until -graduation if they chose. This year, however, all students are attending schools closest to their ; homes. This has led to overcrowding in schools in "mixed" neighbor hoods where children used to scatter to, segregated schools. In fact, "officials feel that integra tion is now. less a problem than overcrowding. Two new high schools and ; additions to two grade, schools are being built Negro pupils make up well over .half the public school popu- Discharged Worker Rams Plane into Bank Building Los Angeles i U.F0 1 A dis gruntled ex-Air Force pilot killed himself when he apparently de liberately ' crashed his small rented plane into the airport bank branch where he was fired as a' teller Tuesday, police said yesterday.. - The only injured person be sides the crash victim, Benjamin Fauth, 29, was the bank official who. fired him. "He apparently tried td get even with the bank," said A. L. Wagnon, one of the investigating officers at the crash scene, yesterday. lation in Washington and the per centage is rising. Last ' year White students dropped from 44, 779 to 41,358 while Negro at tendance climbed from 58,961 to 64,051. . Soma Speculation Some officials believe this is due in part to an accelerated move to the. suburbs by white parents trying to keep their chil dren in' all-white or nearly; all white schools. ; But they empha size this is "purely speculation." Complete integration took place this year virtually with out incident. Interracial football games are being held, and the rivalry between . predominantly white and predominantly Negro schools appears to be healthy based on athletic prowess rather than racial feeling. . The Parent-Teachers Associa tion at Souao High school one of the schools where picketing occurred a year ago had such success with a mixed prom last June that it plans -to hold an other. More and more school functions are being planned oo an interracial basis. at Fall Leued Wire .-. 7" , United Press Tun Leased Win . . ..

But cutting of overtime in several industries resulted in a decline in average weekly earn ings to $86.97, nearly $4 lower than the all-time high of 90.72 in August. However, the new weekly fig ure was $6.84 higher than a year ago when hourly pay was $2.15. Workers averaged only 38.5 hours a week last month against 40.8 hours in. August. Shorter work weeks were re ported in nearly all seasonal in dustries. , " SNAKE BITE NOTE Boston (U.R) Now you can relax.

Use Tribune Want Ads T r a v e ling Wave Am p I ifierf Tube Seen Great Boon To Electronics Washington tU.RX A- thing known as "The traveling wave amplifier tube" has normally dead pan - electronic ' engineers glowing, like ther own electro luminescent dial faces. - They predict a wonder-filled career for it. It makes possible simultaneous transmission of thousands and even millions of telephone conversations for long distances without scrambling. Radar Range Extended It extends the range of radar. It looks like the answer to enemy guided missiles. It al ready is 'playing a number of military roles, all of them classi fied secret. . The .new, tube was discussed here at a two-day meeting of the electron devices section of the Institute of Radio Engineers. The big. thing about the new tube is its ability to give power ful amplification over a sensa tionally wide range of frequen cies everything from the. hu man voice on up. A long thin tube described in a paper presented here is roomy enough in its amplification range to accommodate 4,000,000 voices simultaneously. " ' " The chores this one tube can perform were either- impossible before its development or could be handled only by many ordin ary tubes. ' ; George D. O'Neil of Sylvania Electric Products, Inc., described the traveling .wave, tube as "amazing," "marvelous," "phe nomenal.": "A. M. Serang, electronics en gineer of Mountain View, Calif., said the tube will be particular ly useful, in boosting telephone and television signals, many at a time, over long distances. Because it is capable of pick ing up extremely feeble signals, the new tube makes it possible to space transcontinental TV and telephone amplifiers much far ther apart than formerly. : In the case of radar, the trav eling wave tube not only extends range but also cuts down the size and .weight of transmitter equipment required. In addition, it reduces the amount of cooling equipment needed for radars aboard , airplanes, thus stepping up the crafts' overall efficiency. , Although , military uses of the hew ; tube ' are classified it- was suggested 1 that one , of . its jobs may be to foul up enemy guided missiles.-, ... . - Serang said that to counter a guided missile it is first neces sary to find out what radio' fre quencies are used to control1 it. A' traveling wave tube, because it '.covers a fantastically wide range of frequencies, could spot those used to guide , a missile. . With . other equipment it would then be a simple matter to jam the enemy signals and fore the missile off target.- . ; Looks Like Ordinary Tub . The traveling wave tube-looks much like an ordinary tube ex cept for a long coil of wire. Elec trons from a power source are beamed down the middle of the coil. . ,.' ' ' . ' . Meanwhile, - the signal to be amplified, enters the coil itself. This signal, weak though-it may be, causes the electrons to bunch. Before the beam gets to the, end; of its path, the bunched electrons are deUyerins; power ful packets of current to the coiL Thus the originally weak signal comes out strongly amplified. An "amazing number" of signals can be handled at the same time. The traveling wave, tub was discovered only seven -years ago by an Austrian scientist, Dr. Ru dolf Kompfher, working in Eng land. For. a while it ; was' kept under wraps. Then Dr. John- R. Pierce of the Bell Telephone La boratories went to. England and was let in on the secret He -brought it back to-the United States where, many men have worked with it since. Its po tentialities are only beginning to be. realized. r : ; An expert in application., of electronics to ' communications and weapons said its effect in those fields will be "revolu tionary.'!: , . ;. .
