Note: U. S. scientists have revealed for the fist time the full extent of the weather mysteries they hope to solve by means of artificial satellites rocketed into the heavens. The following dispatch by VP scienti fic and atomic writer Joseph L. Myler depicts the vast scope of the secrets the satellites may unlock. By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Correspondent Washington OP) Scientists predicted today that earth-scanning satellites of the future will enable man at long last to master the mysteries of weather. These artificial moons will, on weather patrol high above the planet, spot tornadoes and hurri cajies before birth. At the same time they will detect clues to long-range climatic changes which in the past have trans formed lush regions of the earth into wastelands. The scientists also said satel lites will be able to penetrate at mospheric mysteries of other planets and, presumably, resolve the riddle of whether earth's neighbors can support life of any kind.

I orr STATE & moons will provide science with a sort of television program of weather events seen for the first time from above. These predictions were made by W. G. Stroud, R. Hanel, W. Nordberg, and R. Stampfl of the Army Signal engineering labora tories at Fort Monmouth, N.J. They presented them at a 13 nation conference on rocket and satellite programs of the Inter national Geophysical Year. Salt Vafer Seen as Belief fe-r Shortage Madison, "Wis. OPt Secretary of the Interior Tred Seaton has expressed ho&i the nation's growing demand for vater will be met in 15 ye"ars through the conversion of salt water. "There is a reasonable ex pectation," Seaton said Tuesday night, that the cost of converted water will be brought don to 60 cents per thousand gallons "or even less." Backed by five years of re search and development, the fed eral government "is now ready to build pilot plants to test and refine" the laboratory results, he said. There must, however, be continued progress in research. Water may "well be our No. 1 domestic problem within a rela tively few years," Seaton told almost 400 members of the American Forestry association. It it unlikely the expected de mand in the years after 1975 can be met with additional reser voirs, he said. Portland State College Signs 2,61 1 Students Portland HP) Fast-growing Portland State college today had 2611 students signed up, nearly 400 more than on the second day of classes last year. Lasi year's enrollment was 2,999. Dr. Howard Impecoven, registrar, said he doubted if the final enrollment would reach the 3,400 on which the school's budget is based. Stroud and his associates en visioned satellites circling the earth at 2,000 miles altitude, high above the ocean of air which keeps surface-dwelling man from getting a clear picture of his own atmosphere and what lies beyond it. Such satellites could scan at any moment in their, flights around the earth a region al most as large as North America. "The generation, growth, and course of hurricanes and ty phoons will undoubtedly be ob servable," the Army scientists said, as will conditions causing thunderstorms and tornadoes. Less than five per cent of the earth's atmosphere is now cov ered by weather observations. The satellites would bring the percentage to 100. Instruments Ready One of the satellites which this country plans to launch will carry instruments fashioned at Fort Monmouth for viewing the earth's cloud cover. Photocells in the satellite will sweep the sunlit side of the earth and observe distribution, details, and motions of clouds. The photocells will scan the cloud cover much as a television camera's electron beam sweeps objects in the camera's focus. The cells are expected to "see" hurricanes and even larger weather front systems. The "picture" of the earth's surface thus obtained will be re corded in the form of signals on magnetic tape in the satellite. On command from a ground radio station, a transmitter in the satellite will switch to "play back." About 50 minutes of data can be so stored and subsequent ly transmitted. Rural Press of Stale Gels Praise Portland (IP Giles L. French, editor and publisher of the Sher man County Journal, praised the rural press of the state in a Newspaper Week talk before the Kiwanis luncheon meeting Tues day. French said the small weekly paper prints the "news of the people" and thus is close to their personal affairs and needs and can interpret their basic ideas better. French likened publishing a newspaper to riding a bucking horse in that the publisher must follow his readers but at the same time he must try to guide and train them. He said Sherman county, de spite its small population, pro duced enough wheat to keep every person in Oregon in bread and,cake for a year. He said de velopment of the John Day dam would bring more population and wealth to the county. Woman Suggested as Monaghan Successor Oregon City HP) The Clack amas County Democratic Cen tral committee has recommend ed appointment of Mrs. Beulah Hand of Milwaukie as state rep resentative to succeed Rep. Thomas Monaghan, Milwaukie school teacher. Monaghan last week resigned his legislative post after a state Supreme Court ruling said he was not eligible to be a teacher and a legislator at the same time. The county court meets Oct. 7 to name a successor. Memphis, Tenn. HP) For mer U. S. Sen. Kenneth D. Mc Kellar, at 88, a bachelor, said he made a mistake in not marry ing. "I should have married young," he explained. "Trouble was the older I got I became more particular and less desirable." Wednesday, October 2, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL .TRIBUNE NINE Byrd Says Ike Violated Intent Of Congress Through Spending Washington OP! Sen. Harry F. Byrd accused President Eisen hower today of violating the in tent of Congress by failing to cut federal spending for the cur rent government year. The Virginia Democrat, lead ing economy advocate and chair man of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, made the charge after publication of the administration's midyear budget review. The review, released Tuesday night, showed that despite heavy congressional appropriation cuts and military strength reductions, the federal government now ex pects to spend $200 million more than Eisenhower estimated last January before all the budget cutting furor arose. The new estimate of federal spending for the 12 months end ing next June 30 is $72 billion, instead of the peacetime record $71,800,000,000 predicted by Ei senhower in January. Government income will slump by $100 million from the expected $73,600,000,000 to $73, 500,000,000 for the year. The 1957-58 surplus will be cut from $1,800,000,000 to $1,500,000,000. The disclosure dimmed some what hopes for a tax cut next year, though Democrats may press for a reduction anyway. It also foretold a probable new and even more vigorous wave of budget-cutting when returns in January. Congress cut Eisenhower's ap propriation requests around $5 billion at its last session. Byrd, who figured the cuts amounted to even more around $6 billion noted he had called on the President to reduce spending "by the same amount." rise Byrd added the failure to cut spending "diminishes the possi bility of any worthwhile tax re duction" at the next congres sional session. He said tax cuts "must depend upon expenditure reduction." Other congressional leaders were more cautious about writ ing off hopes of an election-year tax cut in 1958. House GOP leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.) said Congress should look at business conditions at the end of the year and then decide whether to cut taxes. "We're all for tax reductions . . . but not at the expense of fiscal stability," he said. Tax Cut Possible Rep. Jamie L. Whitten (D Miss.), a member of the Appro priations Committee, said the ad ministration should be able to "freeze enough funds to justify a tax cut." But he added tax re lief is out of the question "if we are going to keep the present level of spending." Sen. William Proxmire ' (D- Congress Wis.) said the "enormous in farm spending shown in the report and $51 million increase in interest on the national debt "reflect two of the most shockig phases of the Eisenhower admin istration's economic program." The midyear review is a re vised estimate of federal spend ing and receipts for the govern ment year beginning last July 1 and extending through next June 30. It is not the final stors however. There will be another revision in January. Final fig ures will not be known until next summer. 1951 RAMBLER STATION WAGON 28,000 Miles - Radio, Heater Excellent Condition . 595 00 LEA MOTORS 5th at Bartlett Phone SP 2-6185 Portland Traffic Death Toll Mounts Portland (IP) Portland's 1957 traffic death toll shot up to 31 Tuesday when two men died in traffic mishaps and a third died from injuries suffered earlier.

(IP) -Increased world-wide burning of fossil fuels, oil and coal, may cause profound changes in the earth's climate, according to Dr. Roger Revelle, director of Scripps In stitution of Oceanography. Revelle said burning of these fuels in increasing amounts will raise the carbon dioxide con tent of the air from 20 to 30 per cent during the next 50 years. Science cannot fully pre dict some of the changes which may result, he added. Revelle said the most likely effect of the change may be to make the earth more like a greenhouse. This will be caused by the carbon dioxide gas trap ping the sun's heat rays, thus in creasing temperatures and, pos sibly, reducing rainfall. He said that although scien tists lack much information needed to complete understand ing of the relation of carbon dioxide gas to climate, enough data is available to indicate that increased abundance in the at mosphere will make profound enough changes to disturb the economy of nations.
