Mss Crain and Brinkman were returning from a second l:CTPrr.onn cruise on their yacht, I'avarev when the boat ran agrour-d off Cataiina Island Mon day. The couple's four children a so were aboard the stricken craft Brjrkiran said he managed, to free the boat from rocks hut that later the craft developed a leak that flooded the motor. He said they defied four hours in heavy Kan in the Cataiina Channel send ng out SOS calls on the yacht's radio. Worthington Lee, a Corona del Mar contractor, picked up the Brinkmans' distress call Morday night on his short wave radio set. Lee. also a Coast Guard auxiliary vice captain, notified Coast Guard officials at Newport Beach. Calif., and a cut ter was dispatched to th rescue. The Coast Guard said the stricken craft was sighted drift iuc toward the rugged Newport Jetty, ard taken in tow by the cutter. Lee. who went along on the rescue, said, "another 30 rrlnites and the yacht would have been smashed against the rocks" Miss Craln said site and her husband were seasick and ex hausted by the time the cutter arrived The actress is expecting her fifth child in December.

The vision screening program has been inaugurated by the safety group to point up the need for re-appraisal of driver vision at regular intervals. Aubrey Loper, president of the Council, explained that the screening would not constitute a complete visual analysis. It is designed to discover only gross visual problems which might af fect driving ability. The vision of each person checked will he compared to the vision standards Fission Trigger in Ciean H-Bomb Still Generates Fallout Washington 'IP The so-ision.

The festi val is being held Saturday, be ginning with the crowning of the queen at 10 a.m. Miss Pramman, 17, a senior at. Phoenix High school, came from Roseburg with her parents three, years ago. She is a mem- developed during a 10-year re-! ber of Future Homemakers of search program at Purdue uni versity.

They did not, however, say or even hint that they have learn ed how to set off the H-bomb's clean fusion charge without a fission trigger. Nor did they deny or refute a recent assertion by Dr. Alvin C. Graves, the Atomic Energy Commission's test director, that it is impossible to make an ab solutely clean H-bomb. When weaponeers talk about "dirty" or "clean" H-bombs, they mean bombs which gener ate much or comparatively lit tle radioactive fallout. So when AEC Chairman Lew is L. Strauss talks about a 95 per cent clean H-bomb, he is talking of one that gets 95 per cent of its power from fusion and only five per cent from fis sion. Nominal Bomb Suppose your weapon is what the civil defense planners call a "nominal" H-bomb equal in pow er to 20 million tons (20 mega tons) of TNT. If it were 95 per cent clean, it still would get one megaton of its power from fission. No body would contend that a one megaton A-bomb would be any thing but dirty. In pounds of radioactive materials created, it would be 66 times dirtier than the bomb that destroyed Hiro shima. The devastatingly dirty H bomb exploded at Bikini March 1, 1954, was 33 1-3 per cent "clean." According to unoffic ial estiiriates, 10 of its 15 mega tons of power came from fission and five from fusion. It pois oned 7,000 square miles and freightened the world. Almost Clean A scientist told the United Press he believes that it will be possible eventually to make H bombs in the megaton range that are around 97.5 per cent clean. A one-megaton H-bomb that clean would get only 25,000 tons of its total power from fis refined triggers required for tne clean h-bombs. In any event, scientists who have been close observers of the atomic project know of no way to trigger a fusion weapon without fission. Only fission can produce in a split-millionth of a second the multi-million de gree temperatures required to make fusion "go" in a bomb. 79 Measles Cases Reported In County A total of 79 cases of measles were reported in Jackson coun ty for the week ending June 21, accordingt o Dr. A. Erin Merkel, public health physician. Medford reported 37 measles cases, Ashland 26, Prospect 7. Phoenix 2, Gold Hill 3 and Central Point 4. Other communicable diseases reported for the week included mumps. Medford 2: whooping cough, Gold Hill 1, Trail 1; and tuberculosis, Medford 1. Columbine III Fails President Eisenhower Washington fin If air plane's could blush. AF7885 would be the reddest-faced Sup er Constellation in the U.S. Air Force today. AF78S5 is the Columbine III. President Eisenhower's plush airliner. The Columbine, easily the world's most carefully main tained airliner, developed elec trical trouble at Langley Air Force Base Tuesday. The Presi dent had to shift to a far slower. sedate C54 and delay his return to Washington. Going from the Columbine to a C54 (the military version of the commercial DC4) is roughly equivalent to getting out of a 1957 air-conditioned limousine and riding in a 1947 coupe.
