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-

Plane into Bank Building

himself when he apparently de

bank branch where he was fired
as a' teller Tuesday, police said
yesterday.. -
The only injured person be

Fauth, 29, was the bank official
who. fired him. "He apparently

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.

Production Workers'
Hourly Pay Higher
Salem (U.R) Hourly pay of
142,500 production workers went
up last month to $2.26, accord
ing to the State Unemployment
Compensation Commission. . .
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. , "

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.'!: , . ;. . V ;
