SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tueidsy. October 2, 1358 New 'Employee' Sits. Out Gulf of Mexico Hurricanes Pittsburgh U R) A ntrv "employe" of the Gulf Oil Corp. doesn't do much else but sit out hurricanes. "Hurricane Inspector." a ro bot, is the new Gulf employe and it plays the role of a sleuth. Its job is to make scientific meas urements of the forces of waves, winds, tides and currents in the open sea and in water depths over 100 feet. The "Inspector" will sit through the worst storms whip pod up by open water up to 100 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Its "inside hurricane" reports will be valuable data for marine history. This will be the first study of Arab States Turn To Border Dispute Cairo (U.R) Arab states to day turned from the Sues dis pute to consider the "serious situation" along the borders with Israel and their proposed sup port for Communist China's membership in the United Na tions. Military representatives of the four Arab countries bordering on Israel held an "extraordi nary" meeting in Cairo to con sider collective counter meas ures in the wake of the Israeli attacks on Jordanian villages last week. At the same time, the secre taries of the foreign ministries of Egypt, Syria. Lebanon and Jordan met in Beirut to draft a protest against the latest Israeli aggression to the United Nations. The Arab League Council scheduled a meeting for Oct. 15 to discuss the question of the Arab states jointly supporting Communist China's membership in the United Nations. Egyptian Syrian. Jordanian and Lebanese military leaders met here for four hours Monday night to discuss the latest Israeli forays into Jordan. An official spokesman underscored the im portance of the conference by saying that "a serious situation has developed along the Arab frontiers generally." i deep-water storms. Previous re ; search on these forces have been conducted by the Navy, Coast i Guard and Geodetic Survey in ' shallow w ater along the shore ' line. i The Gulf Research &. Develop ment Co. at nearby Harmarville, Pa., has developed a complicated J engineering mechanism designed j to determine the power needed in off shore drilling platforms to I protect the operating crews and equipment. These platforms follow a "hind-casting" method developed j during World War II to gauge beach landings. "Hind-casting" ; calculates future storm violence correlated wun maximum sea forces in relation to depth. Hurricane Inspector may dis card many treasured sea legends with its reports. It will check on those "100-foot waves" fondly recalled by old salts. And those 60-foot waves which scientists theorize about may be relegated to fiction. The "Inspector" will record the height of waves, periods be tween crests and the tide during their occurrence. Wave length and velocity can be computed from this data. A "wave profile recorder, in which insulated spark plugs momentarily short out as a wave passes over, will do the measuring. The word "gopher" comes from the French "gaufrc" mean ing "waffle" or "honeycomb," an allusion to the maze of tun nels the animal makes. New Bridge Built To Fort Niagara Fort Niagara. N. Y. (UP) Tourists entering old Fort Nia gara these days cross an entire ly rebuilt drawbridge and trest le. Work begun in April was re cently completed with fir timb ers pressure treated. The whole was color matched to existing timbers in the old buildings. The aging process was so well done that S Grove McClcllan. in charge of the old fort, ex pressed the opinion that the new bridge and causeway are more authentic looking than the old. Guards in colonial army uni forms stand guard at the gate of the Five Nations at the en trance to the fort. The gate was named by the last French com mandant to court the favor of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The drawbridge is complete with chains, windglas- ses and countcr-banance weights of stone. if H r i n ht ,r lonq Dirrnaayevenr. ; . - i i?tSWittfi l . .1 r . i Mini wrr i?rT- Mmm mmm 1 gfflJMLuft 46 savings in our ll ' 'vH iBfSr 1 ITI ihk1 famous label' Beautiful way to fcovt ovt;r legs....
