Color Perception Tests
uregon upiometnc associa
tion is sponsoring color percep
tion tests being conducted this
week, under the auspices ofUhe
National Rifle Association, ac
cording to an announcement by
Dr. R. Max Peck, president of
the association.
The tests started yesterday at
Ft. Lewis, Wash., with tentative
plans for further tests at a site
near Pendleton, Ore.
Dr. Peck noted that the re
sults will be very helpful in de
termining the best color, or
colors, to be worn for greatest
visibility while hunting, under
various field conditions. Tests
up to now indicate that a golden
yellow color can be seen five to
six times easier than red by both
men with normal vision and by
those who are color-blind.
Previous tests were staged
with Army personnel in co-operation
with the California and
Washington optometric associa
tions and the state game com
missions of Washington and Cali
fornia. Test conditions included
snowy field, evergreen field and
yellow grass and scrub oak field.
The present test, the final one
in the series conducted over the
past two years, will be made
under autumn yellow woods
conditions with two test groups.
One ten man team of Army per
sonnel selected are color blind
and the other ten man team has
normal color vision.
Clark Walsh of the Oregon
state game commission will as
sist the NRA in arranging for a
site for the portion of the test
to be conducted in Oregon. Col
onel Sloane of the NRA is di
rector of the research project,
with Leslie Elar of the Califor
nia game commission in charge
of site selection.
The sponsoring optometric
groups will provide scientific
evaluation of the test conditions
and results. The conclusions
reached will assure the hunter

Charges Against
Hungarians Dropped
. Los Angeles 0? U. S. Judge
Ernest A. Tolen Monday dis
missed deportation proceedings
against two Hungarian refugees
who fled to the "United States
last December from their riot
torn country.
The U.S. Immigration depart
ment sought deportation of the
couple, Joseph and Irene Szabo,
on grounds that Szabo concealed
the fact that he had once been a
member of the Communist
party.
Szabo said he tore up his Com
munist party card and joined
the freedom fighters in their fu
tile revolution. When he ,was
asked at Camp Kilmer if he was
a member, he said he truthfully
replied, "No."
Judge Tolin placed the Szabos
on a parolee status which makes
them subject to deportation any
time the Immigration depart
ment wants to reopen their case.

! Rocket Would

Set Space Record
Washington (IP A U.S. rock
' et designed to plunge ' further
! into space than the Soviet satel

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 only thing delay
ing it is the weather, he said.
The launching, known as
"Project Far Side," will take
place at Eniwetok atoll in the
Pacific. 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. Sources there said
it could be set off at any time.
These sources said the rocket
is too small to boost an earth sat
ellite into space but is consid
ered important as a research in
strument. Pleven Agrees To

Radical Party (USDR).
French newspapers were not
optimistic about Pleven's chances
although he is known as a con

other former premier, Socialist,
Guy Mollet, told the President
Sunday he could not marshal
enough support from parliament
to become premier. Mollet said
there was too much Conservative

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.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cardin
and grandson, Timmy, have re
turned to Los Angeles after
spending three weeks here at the

tise Skalitsky, also of Los Ange
les, accompanied them.

Rural Reflections: Borrowing
a phrase which Mary Sorber con

noted that there are a number
of other "sneaky" doings going

employed in a florist shop, using
chicken wire and locker tape
and finishing up with a profes
sional autumn corsage for a fel
low club member. And Leonard
Wickstein enjoying purloined
prunes in his lunch pail while
working on the new Rogue Val
ley Memorial hospital. And there
is Jim Corson switching loyalty
from the Volkswagen to the lit
tle? Bavarian car, "Isetta," which
he says will fit inside his Volks
wagen. Jim visualizes riding
about his ranch to irrigate once
he gets a little Isetta. This writer

ture stories for two years.
