Rocket Would I i Set Space Record Washington (IP A U.S. rock ' et designed to plunge ' further ! into space than the Soviet satel lite "could go at any minute, an Air Force spokesman said Monday. He said the four-stage rocket, expected to climb 1,000 to 4,000 miles to the highest point ever reached by a man-made object, has been ready for firing since Sept. 30.

The rocket will be car ried to 100,000 feet by a balloon supported platform before being fired into outer space. ,The Air Force had planned to fire it in late September but was delayed by weather and other factors.

APPLEGATE VALLEY Hunters Get Wet, No Game By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley A story of two Medford bear hunters and seven hounds made news here the first rainy day of the season. The hunters were Canton Lee, of Kim's restaurant, and Harry Marshall of Medford Realty co., who wandered for miles over the mountains and wound up at a local farm house wet to the skin, having seen no bear nor a track of one. They were five miles from their car. They spent the afternoon drinking tea and munching apples and cookies as they dried out around the old kitchen range at farm. The hounds found refuge on the porch and in woodshed. Sometimes the odor of burning rubber mingled with the aroma of hot tea as Canton left his boot too long on the hot stove. As radio recordings played on, Marshall, whose wife is Attorney Jeanette Thatcher Marshall, re called the days when he took his singing friend, Stewart Hamlin, on a hunting trip. Canton Lee telephoned to his wife, speaking to her entirely in Chinese, except for the last two words of Ameri can, "Yeh, okay." He expressed interest in domestic methods of canning apple sauce. Kenn Paine of McKee trailer park drove the stranded hunters to their car at Beaver-Sulphur camp ground.

And Leonard Wickstein enjoying purloined prunes in his lunch pail while working on the new Rogue Val ley Memorial hospital.
