Newspaper Page TextTWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thunday. April 23, 1357 Pilot Waiting Chance To Take X-52 Plane Into Thermal Barrier BY WILLIAM TERRY Edwards AFB," Calif. OI.R) Capt. Iven Kincheloe, who has flown higher than any other hu man, hopes to be the man who will challenge the "thermal bar rier" in a 4,000 mile per hour experimental rocket ship. Here on this huge, wind swept base of stubby sage, crack ed earth and moving sand hills suggestive of another planet, the magic word for Kincheloe is "X 15" what he considers the "open sesame" to space. Higher and Faster The Air Force has announced in Washington that the X-15, a rocket researph plane, is under construction by North Ameri can Aviation, Inc., Los Angeles. It did not give the plane's ex- Holmes Predicts Program Approval Salem -UR) Gov. Robert D. Holmes told Marion county Democrats Wednesday night that he was confident the major portions of his program would be approved by the 1957 legis lature. Holmes said only partisan ob structionism could prevent the successful approval of the bulk of his program set down in his inaugural address. "I believe obstruction and dif ficulty will be purely Republi can political devices, and I feel the people of Oregon will re sent and disavow obstruction that harms the public interest," he said. The governor said he had been criticized by the Republi can press for wanting Demo cratic appointments in his ad ministration. But he said: "I have not been criticized for the quality of the tell you why. In keeping with the philosophy of our party and my own deep personal convic tion, I have sought out men and women I knew to be capable, experienced and dedicated to doing a good job for the state." Musical Ambassadors Schedule Concert The Musical Ambassadors, a 27-voice choir and instrumental ensemble from the Southern California Bible college, Costa Mesa, will give a concert at First Assembly of God, 1108 West Main st., Friday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. Included in the group will be vocal and instrumental selec tions of spirituals, marches, and gospel songs. The group is di rected by ' the Rev. Paul John ion. The program is open to the public. pected performance except to ! say it will "fly higher and faster than any other manned aircraft." However the X-15 is said to be designed to rocket through the skies at five to seven times the speed of sound in the vicin ity of 4,000 miles per hour and achieve altitudes of 200,000 feet more than 33 miles. A joint project of the National Advisory Committee for Aero- I nautics (NACA), the Air Force and the Navy, it will be used to study the problems of ter rific heating encountered on re- entering the earth's atmosphere. It is the successor to the X2, which crashed last year, and will I be the hottest item of manned hardware on the Air Force line of needlenosed experim ental craft. Miscue Could Be Fatal Along with 30 other test pilots at -Edwards who want to fly the X-lo Kincheloe regards it with a sense of awe, keeping in the back of his mind the grim real ization that a miscue could turn him into ashes in an instant. When it rolls onto the massive Rogers Lake dry bed for its first tests, probably in 1958-59, the X-15 will appear as an over- stacked stove pipe with tiny fins for wings that can leap straight up into space. Last year Kincheloe took the 2.000 mile per hour X-2 to" 126- 000 feet where a m a n's un protected body would vanish in three seconds. Up there the sky begins to turn black because of the thin atmosphere an eerie darkness that slips away behind a plane's wings. The sun, a great white ball looking like the moon at night, is sharply outlind against the darkness of outer space. Few Seconds Enough Kincheloe, who has about 15 Real Estate Loans Total $1,752,029 Real estate loans totaling $1, 752:,029 were made in Oregon during the first three months of 1957 by the western home of fice of Prudential Insurance company, according to Ed Day, vice president in charge of west ern operations. Of that amount, $1,182,629 was for residential projects, 5392,000 was for commercial and industrial projects and $177,400 was for farm loans, Day said. During the 90 day period a total of $30,697,578 was dis bursed for loans throughout the 11 western states and Hawaii, Day said. Of this amount $22, 805,848 was for residential loans, $3,797,300 was for commercial and industrial and $4,094,430 was for farm projects, he added. On The Side By e. v. Durimfl (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Man and wife eventually grow to look alike. The similar ity of their environment, inter est and thoughts brings about similarity of appearance. So, It is frequently alleged. Noth ing to that and if you know any young wife who is worrying about getting to look like her husband, tell her to forget it. Still some married couples do look alike. That, however, is not the result of living together. They always did look alike. Some people are so intrigued with their own faces they un consciously fall in love with somebody who looks like them. Greatest , What ,afe the world's five greatest cocktails? Everybody seems . agreed the Dry Martini is the greatest. How about the other four? When the Dorches ter hotel, London, was being built five cocktails were her metically sealed in phials and embedded in the foundation for bartenders of the future to ex amine. The cocktails selected were . Dry Martini, Sidecar, Bronx, Manhattan and White Lady. Horses and Women What, sir, is your idea of the ideal feminine figure? The'' Brit ish consider the ideal figure to be bust, 34; waist, 23, and hips, 34. Height, 5 feet, 10 in ches. The British go for the long - stemmed, slightly flat chested beauties. The French, and keep in mind I am speaking from the male viewpoint, pre fer women who have the fol lowing measurements: bust, 38; waist, 25, and hips, 37. Height, 5 feet 7 inches. Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong. Or can they? Passing By Shirley Temple. Erstwhile cinema luminary- Seems like only yesterday she was a child actress starring in the film titled 'Little Miss Marker." Now she is a much married woman and the mother of three children. The man that first said "Tempus Fugit" really had something. Asides What became of Muriel, the Flame Dancer? "She was a fea ture of the World's Fair in 1935 and was the attraction that start ed Mike Todd on the road to fame and fortune ... The qual- ity of the Irish whiskey used by some places in making "Irish coffee" leaves much to be de sired. Irish whiskey is at its best when it is 12 years old and has been matured in a sherry cask. ' In a Few Words Henry Ward Beecher ob served, "Well married, a man is winged; ill-matched, he is shackled." Publius Cyrus said, "Mind, not body, makes mar riage lasting." Calderon said: "A woman needs a stronger head than her own for counsel she should marry." Robert Louis Stevenson said, "If they only married when they fell in love most people would die un wed. So They Say Women born under Aquarius (Jan. '21-Feb. 19) are capable secretaries but never really happy when so employed. Hav ing very creative minds, they prefer an activity in which they can capitalize on their own ideas . . . Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept, 22) hus bands are not demonstrative. They greet or say goodby to their loving wives with a kiss on the cheek. A peck, so to speak. It was probably the. wife of a Virgo who referred to "the quiet sting of a dutiful kiss." Or, so say the stargazers. Copyright 1957, King Features Syndicate, Inc. G00&! HBP? Pa hours of rocket plane time, spent only a 'few seconds at this tre mendous altitude. But they were enough to give him a good in dication what flying the X15 would be like. For on thing, stability and control are gigantic problems at high speed in thin air. Research aims to provide control that will enable a pilot' to keep the plane steady. Also with higher speeds there is more heat. That is where the X15 comes in. It will continue the thermal studies wher the X2 left off and will be the first manned plane to tackle the prob lem of atmospheric re-entry. Kincheloe is a young pilot of 29 and is at home in about 80 different planes. Committee Urges State Held for Financing Services Salem The League of Oregon Cities legislative committee meeting in Salem this week is sued a vigorous and unanimous appeal to the Governor and state legislature for help in meet ing a growing crisis in financ ing city services, particularly for public safety activities. The city officals' action came in support of a legislative pro posal to increase the cities' share of liquor revenues. This pro posal will be up for action in the Senate within the next few days. City officials noted that favor able action would help consider ably in alleviating current budg et headaches and would benefit local property taxpayers. All the representatives agreed that the present formula for al locating liquor revenues has never been sufficient to equal city costs of liquor law enforce ment activities. The officials also unanimously agreed that the dif ferential has been even further accentuated since liquor by the drink was put into effect in Ore gon, Local Property Tax Local government units must rely primarily on the local prop erty tax. Cities have been furth er handicapped in financing their services as growing school needs have called upon local property taxes for necessary sup port. Inflationary conditions have affected the costs of city gov ernment in the same way that the costs of other government units and private business have been affected since the war. This coupled with a rapidly growing post-war population has created many new questions of munic ipal finance. Among those attending the meeting were J. W. Barney, city manager of Hillsboro and pres ident of the League.
