Space Travel May Cause Hair To Turn

travelers may get grayer ,hair
than people who stay on earth,
but they probably won't age so
fast
That's what a couple of scien
tists told a University of Cali

Sproul, who is celebrating his
25th year as president of UC.
Nello Pace, associate professor
of Physiology on the Berkeley
campus, said Einstein's theory of
relativity will come into play
when the speed of a space ship

speed of light. '

ship approaches 186,000 miles a

that within 20 years, somebody

Joint Session
Hears Gronchi
Washington U.R) g Italian
President Giovanni Gronchi ad
dresses a joint session of -Congress
today in one of the high
lights of his historic goodwill
visit to the United States.
He was expected to outline
his views on world problems
and stress the importance of Italian-American
relations to the
free world.
The 68-year-old Italian chief
of state will be guest of honor
at' a dinner given tonight by
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. -
Gronchi, first Italian chief of
state ever to visit the United
States, conferred Tuesday with
President Eisenhower. The, two
stressed the importance of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi
zation and discussed ways to
strengthen it.
Gronchi. expects to have a
second meeting with Mr. Eisen
hower before leaving Washing
ton but no time for it has been
set yet. At that conference, the
outspoken Gronchi likely will
have some suggestions about
what the United States can do
to encourage European integra
tion, one of the key goals of
American foreign policy.

knows today, it may be possible
to travel several years in- space
at great velocities and return,
having aged less than the people
on earth."
Grey Hair Likely
But Dr. Herman B. Chase of
Brown University warned that
space travelers may return, with
slightly grayer hair "and even
possibly the loss of an occasional
hair follicle."
He based his prediction on a
study of rate sent up to 95,000
feet in a balloon. He said cosmic
ray radiation caused their fur
to become gray or spotted with
white.
Space flight can cause a
"minor increase" in greying of
hair, Chase concluded, but
whether more 'serious damage
occurs and can be detected "is
still in question."
Construction of New
Tire Plant lo Start
Construction was expected
to start today on a new $31,000
building at 1116 Court st. to
Tiouse Hawkinson Tire Tread
service. '
:The building will be reinforc
ed concrete and will be 161 feet
long by 37 feet wide. It (will be
constructed so two additional
stories may be added if need
ed. .
The structure will include of
fices, storage space and three
separate recapping shops for
Hawkinsons, full capping and
Kraft recapping processes. Work
space areas will be divided for
cars and trucks. There will be
showers and locker rooms for
employees and a coffee bar for
customers.-, .
Jim Elliott, Medford contrac
tor, will build the structure.
Completion is expected within
90 days after which the com
pany will move there from its
present location, 204 North Riv

Ellsworth Reports
On Appropriation
Measures' Progress
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Congressman, 4ih District
Washington, D.C. (Special)
Every year, Congress must
enact 13 regular , annual appro
priation bills plus two or three
suppi emental appropriation
bills. There is usually at least
one measure called, an urgent
deficiency appropriation bill.
While this session of Congress
has not handled, much other Jeg
islation thus far, it has made an
all time record for speed in get
ting out the first' of the regular1
money bills. The House has
passed two and sent them to the
Senate. Before, this letter ap
pears in print, another will have
been acted upon. Already pass
ed are the "Treasury-Post Of
fice" bill, and the one for the
"Department of Interior and Re
lated Agencies." Next will be
a catch-all bill called "General
Government Matters" which
will be followed in a few days
by bills for Health Education,
and Welfare Department and
for the so-called "Independent
Offices" which bill includes
money for the ' numerous gov
ernment commissions such as
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Federal Com- i
munications Commission.
Several items in the bill for
the Department of Interior and
related agencies are of partic
ular interest to us. That bill pro
vides money for the Forest Ser
vice and for the Bureau of Land
Management (O&C Administra
tion), Some substantial increas
es were given the Forest Ser
vice. An additional $1,600,000 is
provided for preparing timber
sales; $470,000 more will step,
up care of camp grounds and
$465s250 more will provide im
provements on the Forests. The
bill included the full authoriza
tion of $24,000,000 for Forest
Service "access roads, and $4,
460,000 for access roads on O&C
lands.
It should be noted, however,
that the access road money for
the O&C lands is really not a
Federal appropriation at all. It
is money which the counties are
entitled to receive under the
O&C law but which they have
agreed should be . spent for ac
cess roads so that the proper'
level of timber harvest on the
lands can be maintained.
, At. long last, the necessity for
a good construction program for
forest timber access roads is be
coming recognized both by; the
members of the Appropriations
committee and by the Commit
tee, on Highways. The first big
"break threugh" was in the
Highvay Act of 1954 when the
authorization for such roads
was increased to $24,000,000
and made on a three year basis.
That sum has actually been ap-j
propriated each of the three
years. The 1954 authorization j
has now run out. It will be nec- j
essary to have an access roads !
authorizing section jn the big
highway construction bill which
will be up for final considera
tion soon.
I have discussed the timber
access road problem with the
chairman of the Highways sub
committee and have written all
members of that committee
setting forth my views. I guess
I am not much of a politician,
because in attempting to work
this problem: out with the Com
mittee, I have used. sound rea
sonable' figures as worked out
by the Forest Service. In other
words, a careful survey reveals
that $25,000,000 a year for five
years will provide roads enough
to bring the forest cut up to the
sustained; yield capacity. That is
about the amount of money
that can be efficiently expend
ed. So that is my recommendation.
