Candidate for Delegate
City in Space
Seen by Expert
Chicago (U.R) A rocket
expert took a long look into the
future last night and envision
ed a city in the sky built on a
space station big enough to
house complete families.
"Imagine the view they
would have from their living
room windows," said Darrell C.
Romick of the Goodyear Air
craft Corp.
Romick explained how rock
ets could be used by hooking
them together to make a sta
tion several hundred feet long,
Romick said. He estimated that
40 months would be needed to
construct such a station, start
ing it with a single rocket ferry
serving as temporary living
quarters.
As more rockets are added
to the station, Romick said a
larger shell would be built to
"expand living and working
space."
Earth-like living conditions
would be attained by fashion
ing a wheel to rotate around
the satelite, the scientist ex
plained. 0
"The wheel would develop a
synthetic gravity effect, there
by providing safe, comfortable
living accommodations,," he
said. "At this stage, families of
workers should be permitted to
join them."
Search Broadens
For Klamath Boy
Klamath Falls-(U.R) Search
for 10-year-old Alvin Decker
spread into nation-wide propor
tions today as law enforcement
agencies said a search of all
freight cars leaving the local
yards within an hour of the lad's
disappearance had failed to turn
up any results.
The boy has been missing for
a week. He was last seen when
he left his home for school, clad
only in jeans and a Jight fur
collared jacket.
Two bloodhounds tracked the
youth to the freight yards. They
repeated the performance twice.
Sheriff Murray Britton said
he had talked to the sheriff of
Poplar Bluff, Mo., where the
boy's grandmother lives, and
alerted police in that area to
watch out for the boy.

Columbia Basin
Flooding Forecast
Portland (U.R) Widespread
flooding in the Columbia basin
was forecast here yesterday by
Anthony J. Polos, hydrologist in
charge of the river forecasting
center of the weather bureau.
Polos said that forecasts for
the Snake river show that run
offs will equal or exceed the
highest on record. Flood stages
of 32 to 35 feet at Bonners Ferry,
Ida., are predicted. Flood stage
is 31 feet and the highest record
ed mark is 35.5 in 1954 when
4000 acres were under water.
Runoff for the Columbia at
The Dalles is expected to be 133
per cent of the 14-year average,
Polos said. The runoff is expect
ed to be 139,000,000 acre-feet,
March through September. The
flow at Grand Coulee for March
to September is expected to be
127 per cent of the 14-year average.
The Willamette will also have
an exceptionally large runoff,
Polos said. At Salem it is expect
ed to be 142 per cent of average.
The Santiam is forecast to
handle 137 per cent of average
runoff also.
Polos said that weather condi
tions will have a great deal to
do with the flooding situation.
A crest of 25 to 28 feet is fore
cast for Portland harbor.
